Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) is an important cereal in semi-arid tropics in Africa and India. Conventionally, millet has good amounts of grain minerals compared to other cereals. Estimation of genetic parameters would be useful in developing appropriate breeding and selection strategies. The present study was conducted to evaluate the local pearl millet accessions to assess the...

In this paper we proposed a Cellular Automaton based local algorithm to solve the autonomously sensor gathering problem in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSN). In this problem initially the connected mobile sensors deployed in the network and goal is gather all sensors into one location. The sensors decide to move only based on their local information. Cellular Automaton (CA) as dynamical sy...

In tapping the thriving mobile business, a study on mobile content development, specifically local ones is urgently required. Highly wanted local contents development is indeed for education, entertainment and games. Thus, we develop a mobile game-based learning (mGBL) about local content, called MaCMoG. It was technically tested for its functionality, compliance, compatibility and soaking. Fur...

Choosing appropriate voices for synthesizing children’s stories requires text analysis techniques that can identify which portions of the text should be read by which speakers. Our work presents techniques to take raw text stories and automatically identify the quoted speech, identify the characters within the stories and assign characters to each quote. The resulting marked-up story may then b...

We show that a generalization of Stanley-Féray character formula for characters of symmetric groups holds true for skew Young diagrams. This generalization is very useful for dealing with asymptotic questions; for example we use it to show that balanced skew Young diagrams have the asymptotic property of approximate factorization of characters and therefore the fluctuations of a randomly select...

The purpose of this study is to automatically extract telop and flip characters. It starts from the extraction of stable frame sections including the telop and flip characters. Next process is the character region extraction and here we propose application of local line density to discriminate the telop characters from other elements such as lines and symbols. Final process is the telop charact...

Rendering and animating in real-time a multitude of articulated characters presents a real challenge and few hardware systems are up to the task. Up to now little research has been conducted to tackle the issue of real-time rendering of numerous virtual humans. However, due to the growing interest in collaborative virtual environments the demand for numerous realistic avatars is becoming strong...

Rendering and animating in real-time a multitude of articulated characters presents a real challenge and few hardware systems are up to the task. Up to now little research has been conducted to tackle the issue of real-time rendering of numerous virtual humans. This paper presents a hardware-independent technique that improves the display rate of animated characters by acting on the sole geomet...

Phase transitions are one of the most common phenomena, e.g., water and vapor in our daily life, or liquid crystal for a laptop. In the last few decades, extensive explorations have been made on stationary phase transitions, e.g. theory of renormalization group. In contrast, much less understanding is yet available for the dynamics, namely, the evolution of a system undergoing phase transitions...
