carbon nanostructures are famous structures which are used in several industries such as separation, treatment, energy storage (i.e. methane and hydrogen storage), etc. a successful modeling of activated carbon preparation is very important in saving time and money. there are some attempts to achieve the appropriate theoretical modeling of activated carbon preparation but most of them were almo...

In this chapter, we discuss two case studies that compared and contrasted the use of barcode scanning, voice recording, and patient self reporting as a means to monitor the nutritional intake of a chronically ill population. In the first study, we found that participants preferred unstructured voice recordings rather than barcode scanning. Since unstructured voice recordings require costly tran...

Jarvis is a system designed to respond to user issued commands to provide convenient control over a number of electronic devices. These devices can be lights, TV's, radios, stereos, etc. The system will be designed to work best within a moderate home with the convenience of a wireless router. Fig. 1.1 shows how each stage of the system will interact with each other. More details on this are pro...

In this paper we describe how we address the problem of porting VR applications between different VR setups without having to redesign any of the interaction aspects. SLiVR (Semantic Linking in Virtual Reality) a higher level interaction software layer that fits into our VR framework has been developed. This allows the VR application to deal with the interaction aspects in terms of tasks which ...

The emergence of the Internet Things concept has provided a great vision for technological future, intending to enable extraction and comprehension information from environment around us, making use interaction cooperation between several devices. example Smart Homes, in particular, aims integrate these devices into households, enabling automation tasks previously performed by humans, simplify ...

Abstract An Ag 2 Se nanowire random network was fabricated for application as a data augmentation device and combined with binary convolutional neural (BCNN) to achieve high accuracy in voice classification tasks. Due the nonlinear high-dimensional characteristics resulting from formation of conductive filament at cross junction, could transform input into higher-order multiple signals, thereby...

Text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis is the text normalization from written input form to spoken output form, with applications in intelligent personal assistants (IPAs), voice-activated emails, and message readers for the visually impaired. In this project, we built a 3-component TTS text normalization system with token-to-token Naïve Bayes (NB) classifiers, a token-to-class Support Vector Machine (...
