In this paper, MLLR adaptation of continuous density HMM is investigated in a Farsi speaker independent large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system in attempt to improve recognition rate in real world situations. In the MLLR framework, we have experienced the use of Gaussian mean transformations in global adaptation and regression tree based adaptation. Besides full and block-diagonal...

Traditional AI planning systems have focussed on batch planning, where an entire plan for achieving a goal is generated. An alternative approach is to select only the next action, a technique that has been used in situated planners, and, more recently, has been eeectively applied to traditional AI planning domains. In this paper, we present an action selection framework sensitive to resource li...

Carbon slurry, dried in open air, has been used as an adsorbent material for the removal of nickel(II) from aqueous solutions at different experimental conditions in batch adsorption technique. The time required to attain equilibrium was found to be 50 minutes. The effects of initial concentration of Ni(II), particle size of adsorbent, adsorbent dose, temperature and pH on removal of nickel(II)...

This paper reports a self-aligned three-dimensional process (3D-SOULE) that incorporates batch-mode micro ultrasonic machining (μUSM), lapping and micro electro-discharge machining (μEDM) for fabrication of concave and mushroom-shaped spherical structures from hard and brittle materials. To demonstrate the process, 1 mm structures are fabricated from glass and ruby spheres. The μEDM technique i...

Abstract Here a two-state batch arrivals and batch service Markovian queue with server vacation model has been taken into consideration for its mathematical modelling and performance analysis under transient state. The present Markovian queueing model considers a single server with multiple vacations and both arrivals and services in batches of variable size. Arriving customers are processed by...

Flurbiprofen is a water insoluble non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug and belongs to BCS Class II categories. Solid dispersion is a technique by which we can improve it water solubility. By the help of fast dissolving formulation we can evaluate the effectiveness of solid dispersion. In this research work the solid dispersion of flurbiprofen with polymer like PVP K25, PVP K30, PVP K29-32, and ...

In this paper we consider controlled Generalised Batches Petri Nets, a class of batches nets where the firing flow of continuous and batch transitions and the transfer speed of batch places are control variables to be selected within an admissible range. We show that the steady state behavior of this class of nets during a period in which no discrete transition fires can be characterized by sol...

During the early stages o f language acquisition, young infants face the task of learning a basic vocabulary without the aid of prior linguistic knowledge. It is believed the long term episodic memory plays an important role in this process. Experiments have shown that infants retain large amounts o f very detailed episodic information about the speech they perceive (e.g. [1]). This weakly just...

In this paper, we propose a Stochastic Dynamic Batch Local Search (SDBLS) algorithm to train Elman Neural Network (ENN) for Dynamic Systems Identification (DSI). First, we propose a new Batch Local Search (BLS) algorithm for ENN from a new angle instead of traditional Back Propagation (BP) based gradient descent technique, then add the stochastic dynamic signal into the network in order to avoi...

We present an algorithmic approach for speeding up SSL’s performance on a web server. Our approach improves the performance of SSL’s handshake protocol by up to a factor of 2.5 for 1024-bit RSA keys. It is designed for heavily-loaded web servers handling many concurrent SSL sessions. We improve the server’s performance by batching the SSL handshake protocol. That is, we show that b SSL handshak...
