This paper presents a complete statistical speech synthesizer for Myanmar which includes a syllable segmenter, text normalizer, grapheme-to-phoneme convertor, and an HMM-based speech synthesis engine. We believe this is the first such system for the Myanmar language. We performed a thorough human evaluation of the synthesizer relative to human and re-synthesized baselines. Our results show that...

Abstract In this work, a single degree of freedom resonant converter model is proposed and theoretical studies the are carried out. The suitable for waves with height up to 2 m period 5 seconds, such as on western coast Black Sea. It shown that at resonance its power increases significantly approaches values swell. high (up m) efficiency decreases, but remains relatively constant equal about ha...

To control the exhaust emissions from two stroke spark ignition engine, copper nano-particles coated on wire mesh at the junction of improved design as catalytic converter, AVL-422 gas analyzer was used for measurement and comparision for CO and unburnt hydrocarbon in the exhaust of the engine at various speeds and loads. In the present work, an improved design is proposed which is more suitabl...

Concepts for possible use of high temperature superconductors in millimeter/submillimeter wave cavities, mode convertors and waveguides are described. Reduction of the ohmic loss in the cavities could remove a major constraint on the power produced by high frequency gyrotrons. Significant benefits could be obtained without the need for ultra high values of cavity Q. Improved mode convertor perf...

In x-ray imaging detectors, the signal generated in a detector element is proportional to the number of secondary carriers (such as optical photons or electronhole pairs) generated in the x-ray convertor. Furthermore, the location and statistics of secondary carriers are directly related to the absorbed x-ray energy. Even under monochromatic exposure conditions, there will be a distribution of ...
