Since the early 1990s, Optimality Theory (OT) has quickly gained ground in phonology. Its main appeal lies in two characteristics: the focus on wellformedness of the output and the softness of constraints, where a constraint can be violated in order to satisfy more important requirements. A conspicuous characteristic of classic OT is that all constraints on the output should compete with each o...

This article proposed a novel topology of dynamic voltage regulator using transformer and PWM multi-level AC/AC converter. In this paper for finding the best value of duty ratio for switches to minimize the THD, the GA algorithm has been used and THD output voltage is assumed to be fitness function. The proposed voltage regulator employs multi-level AC/AC converter to generate compensation volt...

A novel approach for obtaining the output waveform, the propagation delay and the short-circuit power dissipation of a CMOS inverter is introduced. The output voltage is calculated by solving the circuit di erential equation only for the conducting transistor while the e ect of the short-circuit current is considered as an additional charge, which has to be discharged through the conducting tra...

By rapid development of semiconductor and commands strategies as vector control (VC), direct torque control (DTC) and input-output linearization (IOL) a permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) have gained variety industrial applications. This paper combines the application of neuro-genetic (NG) with input-output linearization techniques to control the PMSM. The use of a genetic algorithm is ...

Abstract This paper provides a quantitative general equilibrium evaluation of the repeal Britain's Corn Laws in 1846. Using detailed input-output matrix British economy 1841, we find abolition tariff on imported grain left overall welfare roughly unchanged as static efficiency gains are offset by terms-of-trade losses. Labourers and capital owners gained slight amount at expense landowners. Com...

Observing that most variations in pronunciation are strongly speaker and speaking style dependent, and that the introduction of pronunciation variants in a speaker-independent recognition system is of limited success, we refrain from applying multiple pronunciation variants in the speakerindependent case and instead introduce pronunciation variants without supervision when specializing the reco...
