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...

Thermoelectric devices may have an essential role in the development of fuel-saving, environmentallyfriendly, and cost-effective energy sources for power generation based on direct conversion heat into electrical energy. A wide usage thermoelectric systems already exhibits high reliability long operation time space industry gas pipe systems. The application solar generators (TEGs) arelimited ma...

Thammasat International Journal of Science and Technology, Vol. 18, No. 2, April-June 2013 42 Abstract Mainly, a photovoltaic (PV) system is able to generate wide ranges of voltage and current at terminal output. However, a PV cell is required to functionally maintain a constant direct current (DC) voltage at a desired level during real-time variations of incident light illumination and ambient...

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...

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 ...
