In this paper, a large Hungarian spoken language database is introduced. This phonetically-based multi-purpose database contains various types of spontaneous and read speech from 333 monolingual speakers (about 50 minutes of speech sample per speaker). This study presents the background and motivation of the development of the BEA Hungarian database, describes its protocol and the transcription...

cracked and un-cracked brazilian disc specimens subjected to diametral compression were used for conducting fracture toughness and tensile strength experiments on a polymer concrete (pc) material. the value of mode i fracture toughness (kic) was determined from the center- cracked brazilian disc and the indirect tensile strength (σt) was obtained from the un-cracked brazilian disc specimen. the...

A number of potentiometric biosensors based on coimmobilization of enzymes with different types of zeolite on pH-ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) have been developed. Their working characteristics have been determined and compared. It was shown that clinoptilolite and zeolite Beta polymorph A (BEA) are more promising for creating biosensors than zeolite A. Changing the concentratio...

Recently many researchers have studied the estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) as an optimization method. While most EDAs focus on solving combinatorial optimization problems, only a few algorithms have been proposed for continuous function optimization. In previous work, we developed a Bayesian evolutionary algorithm (BEA) for combinatorial optimization problem using a probabilistic g...

Abstract Passive NO x adsorption (PNA) is a method, in which can be stored at low temperatures and released higher where the urea decomposition functional during selective catalytic reduction (i.e., above 180–200 °C). We have studied promotion of Pd/BEA with La as PNA presence high CO concentration. Both reference promoted samples exhibited significant loss adsorption/desorption capacity after ...

In this article, the size effect on the dynamic behavior of a simply supported multi-cracked microbeam is studied based on the Modified Couple Stress Theory (MCST).  At first, based on MCST, the equivalent torsional stiffness spring for every open edge crack at its location is calculated; in this regard, the Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) is al...

The atomic force microscope (AFM) has become an essential tool for imaging the surface topography of conductors and insulators on a microand nanoscale level [1]. In addition, AFM has also been powerful in nanomachining [2]. Cracks may occur in the AFM cantilever during the nanomachining experiments or in the fabrication of cantilever. The cantilever with cracks will affect its performance in us...
