Over the last few years, a statistical parametric approach to singing voice synthesis based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) has been grown over. In this approach, spectrum, excitation, and duration of singing voices are simultaneously modeled by context-dependent HMMs, and waveforms are generated from HMMs themselves. However, pitches that rarely appear in training data cannot be properly genera...

The pseudo-rapidity dependence of the elliptic flow at various excitation energies measured by the PHOBOS Collaboration in Au+Au collisions at RHIC is one of the surprising results that has not been explained before in terms of hydrodynamical models. Here we show that these data are in agreement with theoretical predictions based on perfect fluid hydrodynamics. We also show that these PHOBOS da...

relative to a hereditary torsion theory $tau$ we introduce a dimension for a module $m$, called {em $tau$-rank of} $m$, which coincides with the reduced rank of $m$ whenever $tau$ is the goldie torsion theory. it is shown that the $tau$-rank of $m$ is measured by the length of certain decompositions of the $tau$-injective hull of $m$. moreover, some relations between the $tau$-rank of $m$ and c...

In this paper, an extensive analysis of a stochastically excited one-degree-of-freedom mechanical system with cubic nonlinearity is presented. This motivated by the need for realistic bifurcation analyses stochastic dynamical systems, given that many physical applications contain significant time-varying uncertainty can lead to drastically different solutions from deterministic case. The propos...

This article presents a pseudo–empirical likelihood approach to inference for multiple-frame surveys. We establish a unified framework for point and interval estimation of finite population parameters, and show that inferences on the parameters of interest making effective use of different types of auxiliary population information can be conveniently carried out through the constrained maximiza...

The aim of this research is to introduce a semi-analytical approach for the analysis free and forced nonlinear vibrations bending shape memory alloy (SMA) beam; while, considering effect its pseudo-elastic behavior. In order create primary deflection, an appropriate pre-strain applied SMA beam using compression spring. A new material model was utilized simulate hysteric behavior beam, while dif...

By means of the exponential dichotomy method and the properties of the weighted pseudo almost periodic functions, sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of weighted pseudo almost periodic solutions of functional differential equations with finite delay.

Pseudo relevance feedback is empirically known as a useful method for enhancing retrieval performance. For example, we can apply the Rocchio method, which is well-known relevance feedback method, to the results of an initial search by assuming that the top-ranked documents are relevant a priori. In this paper, for searching NTCIR-3 patent test collection through pseudo feedback, we try to emplo...

In order to get divergence free and curl free wavelets, one introduced the smoothed pseudo spline by using the convolution method. The smoothed pseudo splines can be considered as an extension of pseudo splines. In this paper, we first show that the shifts of a smoothed pseudo spline are linearly independent. The linear independence of the shifts of a pseudo spline is a necessary and sufficient...
