Filled pause detection is imperative for spontaneous speech recognition as it may degrade speech recognition rate. However, filled pause is commonly confused with elongation as they shared the same acoustical properties. Few attempts of classifying filled pause and elongation employed Hidden Markov model. Our proposed method of utilizing Neural Network as a classifier achieved 96% precision rate....
The implementation of heterogeneous base stations in addition to the traditional macro cell architecture is considered as an additional amenity to existing resources in order to provide a greater capacity and Quality of Service to the mobile users. The future topology of these networks is foreseen as a combination of such networks creating a heterogeneous network. In such a topology, a user will be...
This paper proposes to create a communication system between cars to prevent and also to handle an accident. In the case of accident prevention, the system broadcast information to other cars about the condition of the surroundings by giving a warning notification upon some event, such bumpy road, speed bump and sudden brake. The system uses an Android based smart phone as the main platform. It utilizes...
Activated sludge process is commonly used in wastewater treatment plants to process domestic or industrial effluent. The main objects of interest in the activated sludge systems are floes and filamentous organisms. The proper settling of the sludge floes in the activated sludge wastewater treatment process is crucial to the normal functioning of the system. In this paper image processing techniques...
Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a famous example in the study of route optimization in the field of computer science. Various algorithms have been developed by previous researches throughout the years attempting to solve the TSP yet there is always a doubt in producing the best solution. Route planning has always been a major interest of study due to the nature of the topic which covers many...
Mobile application is trendy and receives high demand in marketplace. Thus, mobile technology has been identified as a potential delivery alternative since it is able to provide services anywhere anytime. Basically, most of the university's services are provided through web-based systems, including Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). However, due to the increasing demand from the students and university,...
A full ground plane dual band microstrip antenna (FGP-DBMA) over ISM and HiperLAN/2 applications is presented. The structural design of the FGP-DBMA is based on suspended plate antenna. The FGP-DBMA antenna features a 56 × 55 mm2 rectangular radiating element suspended over 90 × 90 mm2 ground plane. ShieldIt Super conductive textile features are used as the radiating element and ground plane while...
Mobile game application is a crucial feature in mobile devices. Due to the complexity and parameters like game environment, platform and context performance, it leads to the challenges to estimate accurately the size and effort of mobile game application. Furthermore, the current software effort and parametric estimation models invented before emergence of mobile application. Therefore, there is a...
Successful implementation of software projects are completely depending upon successful monitoring and controlling mechanism. The ignorance of monitoring and controlling mechanism by the project managers and the team members in a software projects development, leading to inadequate decision with fruitless outcomes. One of the ways to monitor the software projects is by looking at the performance of...
Nowadays content management systems (CMSs) are widely used to publish information on the Web. Understanding readers' expectation opens up an opportunity for specific CMSs i.e. CMSs for a specific business domain. The development of specific CMSs includes information requirements that define (i) the information to publish and (ii) the organization of that information. Information organization defines...
Knowledge acquires collaboration in producing innovations. Diversities, i.e. expertise, backgrounds, and also resources, are essential for the collaboration. Hence, the activities of sharing, transferring and also exchanging resources between diverse participants become vital in realizing the innovation. This circumstance is recently found in the design process of buildings. The development of building's...
Many problems shadow the traditional method of casting votes. The chief predicament faced is that the voting area is usually politically tense and votes are in the danger of being compromised or coerced while they are stored in each constituency and also when they are being transported to the final tallying destination. We propose a novel method in which votes are not cached in the voting machines...
