One of the key issues for speech prosody is control of pause occurrence and duration. Occurrence of pause is unconditional at sentence boundaries with high probability at major syntactic boundaries such as clause boundaries and more or less arbitrarily at minor syntactic boundaries for text-readout speech. In this paper a detailed investigation is conducted for sentence-medial pauses for readout speech...
We are developing online interactive materials that allow students to adapt their text and homework to their own needs and interests. For example, students may specify topic areas of interest and then selected mathematics homework word problems are adapted to those areas. Using proper data management, their work can be hand-graded with feedback for the students and allowances for students to correct...
Well-characterized experimental data is essential for development of models describing complex material processes such as damage and failure. There is currently a dearth of experimental data capturing material behavior for the processes of non-uniaxial loading to failure and void closure after damage. LANL and VNIIEF recently completed a series of ten helical-generator-driven cylindrical damage experiments...
We explore the problem of characterizing fragments using Par-aView in situ with an explosion simulation. By running in situ we can see a much higher temporal view of the data as well as potentially compress the output to only those statistics about fragments we care about. However, the fragment finding must be able to scale as well as the simulation. In order to achieve the necessary scales, we borrow...
Comprehensive analysis about Kaiman filter model of discrete linear system is discussed in this paper. Firstly, the model is established based on the data of similar material model acquired from industrial close-up photogrammetry system. Then, look for solutions by encoding in Matlab platform. Finally, we conclude that the Kaiman filter enjoys obvious denoising effect in data processing of similar...
This work describes the research activity in the Terafly project which aims at the development of an automated architecture for the inspection and measurement of industrial components. The project addresses flaw detection and analysis of para-aramid synthetic fiber components by means of Terahertz 3D tomographies and CAD models. This paper describes the stages of the system, from the model-to-object...
There is a significant dearth of time and qualified teachers to make 200 million adult illiterates of India spread across 22 Indian Languages literate and it would take massive effort to address the scale and variety challenges. In this paper, we summarize four and half years of our experience of analyzing and improving a decade-long technology to adult literacy problem. Based on this experience and...
A nuclear power company is currently in the process of constructing the advanced 3rd generation of EPR Nuclear Power Plant, and its corresponding information system is an overall integrated information management system based on the new concept design. The purpose of this report is to research the practice and value of AVEVA IPE solution[2-5] in this nuclear project via the demonstration. And the...
The tremendous potential of technology to support teaching/learning is being critically questioned today because of the significant decrease in quality of instruction and the massive effort of developing and maintaining educational technologies. In four and half years of our experience of analyzing and improving a decade long technology for adult literacy, we observed a strong need for (i) a unified...
Study of structural phase transitions is of significant interest with fundamental point of view and, at present time, it is a subject of the intensive theoretical and experimental researches in various areas of physics. Such transitions are the phase transformations (of configuration, topology, polymorphic, or solid-liquid transitions) in strongly coupled systems, which consist in a structure reorganization...
This paper evaluates the usefulness of different simulators developed in server system testing for a mobile application during 5 years, with the purpose of identifying the advantages and weaknesses of each simulation method in the given setup. The study found that simulation was used on almost every interface to external systems, and two factors that affected the usefulness of simulators over long...
In this work we present a versatile simulation tool for the batch processing of solar cell simulation by using Matlab and the wxAMPS console version. The wxAMPS console version gives a programming interface for other software to call the simulation kernel of wxAMPS, and Matlab provides a favorable platform to define the modeling process and design the data visualization. This method offers users a...
Adsorption of Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) by rambutan peel (RP) was examined. The adsorption experiments were carried out under different conditions of initial concentration (25–500 mg/L), solution pH 2–12 and RP dose (0.05–1.2 g). The influence of these parameters on the adsorption capacity was studied using the batch process. RBBR adsorption uptake was found to increase with increase in initial...
In their current scope, existing business process modeling methods and techniques lack comprehensive constructs for representing some of the essential business concepts, including business goals, non-functional requirements and resources. Chances are, there will never be a single technique that adequately captures all the business concepts on a single diagram. This paper has two related purposes:...
Product lifecycle data is considered valuable resource to improve quality of product designing. However, at present, under the environment of E-manufacturing, product data is scattered across different companies during product lifecycle. Because enterprise information systems are heterogeneous, it becomes a challenging task managing product lifecycle data through the complete supply chain. In this...
New challenges for large-scale data management and sharing have arisen due to the information evolution from massive data to "big data". Domain Scientific Data Cloud (DSDC) based on virtual data space is proposed in this paper to solve the problems of "big data" management, reusability and service in scientific field. The application of DSDC (MSDC) is also introduced, which is...
This paper present a autoregressive with exogenous input (ARX) was applied in modelling of steam distillation pot system. The system of steam distillation pot are design with special specification interm of material and shape additional with induction heating system that provide a new technologies in extraction of essential oil to fullfill demand for this industry. The performance of ARX was investigates...
Capturing appearance of material with respect to illumination and viewing directions is crucial to achieve realistic visual experience in virtual environments. The capturing process is time demanding or requires a specific shape of the captured material. Therefore, we propose a method of such a data reconstruction from very sparse measurements, whose placement allows for continuous and fast acquisition,...
Educators often monitor students' performance in class to make students aware of their weaknesses. Analysis on the relationship between educational settings and student performance can be useful in predicting student performance in a class. In addition, this analysis is able to help identifying the key indicators that may affect the students' final grade. In this paper, we present the initial work...
This paper presents the structure of a flexible discrete event simulation model for analyzing production systems. Based on BOM and routing information a simulation model is generated to analyze a shop floor structure. Different modules are used for generating customer orders and production orders and handling the material flow until the customer is satisfied. The basic idea is that the modules are...
