This contribution is about experiments in audio-visual isolated words recognition. The results of these experiments will be used to improve our voice dialogue system, where visual speech recognition will be added. The voice dialogue systems can be used in train or bus stations (or elsewhere), where noise levels are relatively high, therefore the visual part of speech can improve the recognition...

a simple and rapid stability indicating method based on capillary zone electrophoresis has been developed and validated for the analysis of buserelin (bus). the best separations were achieved by using a bare fused silica capillary (75 m i.d.; 65.5 cm total, 57.0 cm effective length), phosphate buffer (ph = 3.00; 26.4 mm), at 35 °c. the sample was hydrodynamically injected at 50 mbar for 5 seco...

The coming interaction between a growing electrified vehicle fleet and the desired growth in renewable energy provides new insights into the economic dispatch (ED) problem. This paper presents an economic dispatch model that considers electric vehicle charging, battery exchange stations, and wind farms. This ED model is a high-dimensional, non-linear, and stochastic problem and its solution req...

Though the There is ever increasing evidence of increased terrorist activities that spread entire world. In the wake of modern technologies and diversified threats, it is indispensable to comprehend, detect and prevent with reliable countermeasures. In this context detection of explosives is an active research area. Towards this end many detection systems came into existence. The government age...

The unbalanced nature of passenger demand and the uncertainty delay at intersections are considered critical factors in efficiency public transportation operations. Considering controllable characteristics bus rapid transit system (BRT), an integrated optimization model that includes multi-mode scheduling signal timing is proposed. robust copes with fluctuations operation. A non-linear programm...

It is possible to reduce distribution losses by strategically placing and sizing DG BESS sources. Assuring low loss requires the aforementioned devices; otherwise, system may experience either under- or overvoltage. preferable choose bus stations with less risk for loss. The proposed approach tries pinpoint optimal size placement cut down on investment operating expenses while still achieving d...

Mexico City’s bus rapid transit (BRT) network, Metrobus, was introduced in an attempt to reduce congestion, increase city transport efficiency and cut air polluting emissions. In June 2005, the first BRT line in the metropolitan area began service. We use differences-indifferences and quantile regression techniques in undertaking the first quantitative policy impact assessment of the BRT system...

M AY 2 01 6 Dhaka City in Bangladesh is the fastest growing city in South Asia with an annual growth rate of 7 percent.1 This rapid urbanization is primarily due to migration from rural areas of the country and has led to a substantial increase in the number of adults and children who live in informal settlements in the city. There are currently an estimated 20,000 people living without permane...

Surveillance system has been applied in providing public security for many complex places like railway stations, bus stops, etc. In most cases, human object detection is an important task in surveillance system. In the case that human objects are occlusion or outdoor environment, human objects detection is a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a method to implement for human object d...

Many methods have been proposed for character recognition but they are often subjected to substantial constraints, due to unexpected difficulties encountered in real-life images. A real-life image may be complex for a variety of reasons. Rust, mud, peeling paint, or fading color may distort the images of the characters; uneven lighting may make them difficult to discern. This paper presents the...
