Normalisation of environmental data aims at clarifying the human impact on the environment by suppressing meteorologically driven fluctuations and other natural variation in the collected data. This paper shows that the procedures presently used to adjust air and water quality data have a common probabilistic framework. Furthermore, this framework can support a number of new techniques for the ...

The present study introduces a recording technique to maintain all dynamic information of even full-blown emotional speech, and investigates the effect of emotion class, speaker, and sentence type on the amplitude of speech. The results show that the factors emotion class and speaker are highly significant and that the former explains half of the variance while the latter explains only one nint...

The aim of this paper is to compute the rational character tables of the dicyclic group $T_{4n}$, the groups of order $pq$ and $pqr$. Some general properties of rational character tables are also considered into account.The aim of this paper is to compute the rational character tables of the dicyclic group $T_{4n}$, the groups of order $pq$ and $pqr$.

In a relational database management system, allowing tuples to be of variable length can complicate storage management considerably. As an example, consider an employee relation containing the employee’s name, social security number, and salary. We could store the names of the employee’s dependents in a separate relation, which would require an expensive join to access. As an alternative, we co...

As we know that the normalization is a pre-processing stage of any type problem statement. Especially normalization takes important role in the field of soft computing, cloud computing etc. for manipulation of data like scale down or scale up the range of data before it becomes used for further stage. There are so many normalization techniques are there namely Min-Max normalization, Z-score nor...

In this paper, we present a video-based method of detecting fall incidents of the elderly living alone. We propose using the measures of humans’ heights and occupied areas to distinguish three typical states of humans: standing, sitting, and lying. Two relatively orthogonal views are utilized, in turn, simplifying the estimation of occupied areas as the product of widths of the same person, obs...

In automatic speech recognition, word graphs (lattices) are commonly used as an approximate representation of the complete word search space. Usually these word lattices are acyclic and have no a-priori structure. More recently a new class of normalized word lattices have been proposed. These word lattices (a.k.a. sausages) are very efficient (space) and they provide a normalization (chunking) ...

Database-backed applications rely on access control policies based on views to protect sensitive data from unauthorized parties. Current techniques assume that the application’s database tables contain a column that enables mapping a user to rows in the table. This assumption allows database views or similar mechanisms to enforce per-user access controls. However, not all database tables contai...

this paper highlights the effect of silt content on cone tip resistance in loose silty sand. in this study, twenty-seven cone penetration tests are performed in saturated silty sand samples with several different silt contents ranging from 10 to 50 percent. the samples are consolidated at three overburden stresses including 100, 200 and 300 kpa. it is shown that, as the silt content increases, ...
