We say a string has a cadence if a certain character is repeated at regular intervals, possibly with intervening occurrences of that character. We call the cadence anchored if the first interval must be the same length as the others. We give a sub-quadratic algorithm for determining whether a string has any cadence consisting of at least three occurrences of a character, and a nearly linear alg...

This thesis deals with the application of neural network and fuzzy logic based techniques for designing algorithm to recognize handwritten Bengali character. Fuzzy measures are related to methods of robust statistics, namely linear combinations of order statistics, which are used for combining information that may contain outliers, a common situation in handwriting recognition. Here first Chara...

Linear stability of double diffusive convection of Darcy-Maxwell fluid with Soret and Dufour effects is investigated. The effects of the Soret and Dufour numbers, Lewis number, relaxation time and solutal Darcy Rayleigh number on the stationary and oscillatory convection are presented graphically. The Dufour number enhances the stability of Darcy-Maxwell fluid for stationary convection while it...

In an eye-tracking experiment we examined whether Chinese readers were sensitive to information concerning how often a Chinese character appears as a single-character word versus the first character in a two-character word, and whether readers use this information to segment words and adjust the amount of parafoveal processing of subsequent characters during reading. Participants read sentences...

In this paper, we propose a generalized shock model for the enhancement and restoration of degraded gray-level character images. This model is a quasi-linear hyperbolic partial differential equation with discontinuous coefficients, based on a recently-published work. The model was extended to peeling character shapes with a uniform and centered width of value K. These processing tools may signi...
