Abstract: This paper presents different hardware implementations of a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient (MFCC) for speech recognition. Speech processing is emerged as one of the important application area of digital signal processing. Various fields for research in speech pro...     Read More

Abstract: This research work aims at estimating the water balance regime as an aspect of the integrated management of surface and groundwater resources in Argolis in Greece, while the region’s economy is strictly connected with the availability of fresh water. The analysis concerning the water supply estima...     Read More

Abstract: By applying the equivalent inclusion method and utilizing ellipsoidal harmonic functions, the stress fields of an infinite body which contains an ellipsoidal inhomogeneity were solved and given in closed form. Since ellipsoidal coordinates are used, the stresses along the principal axes and on the s...     Read More

Abstract: The demand for the renewable energy sources is very high and this is mainly due to the fact that fossil fuels are finishing and they may not be environmental friendly. While it is highly important that the remaining amount of non-renewable energy resources are preserved for the future generations, o...     Read More

Abstract: Capitalization of tires waste is a priority problem determinate by the large quantities of these waste and environmental impact generated. In this paper we recommended capitalization with obtaining of new material with improved proprieties. The durability of a new polymer concrete with tires waste p...     Read More

Abstract: Economic diversification is a key policy goal for the Government of South Africa. SMEs offer a feasible option towards the actualization of this goal. The expansion of construction SMEs in South Africa, however is constrained by lack of access to bank credit. This constrained access to credit is arg...     Read More

Abstract: With increasing numbers of vehicles using low level automation and higher level automation expected in the future, significant effects are expected on traffic flow. Despite much simulation and driving simulator research on SAE level 1 vehicles, there remain many questions in regard to the effects of...     Read More

Abstract: A total of five soil samples were collected from melange weathered material in order to analysis the engineering properties and mineralogical identification of the soils. The soil samples were collected along the main road in Sandakan, Sabah. The result of analysis shows that the soil moisture conte...     Read More

Abstract: This paper studies a flow regulation device, whose operation does not fully comply with the theoretical simplifications underlying the usual design standards for this type of structure. In particular, a flow regulation device consisting of two side weirs with a discharge rate very close to the maxim...     Read More

Abstract: In this study, a well-known dynamic modulus prediction method, the Al-khateeb model, is evaluated to see how it performs to estimate dynamic modulus of asphalt mixtures designed and made based on Western Australian asphalt specifications and materials. The parameters needed for this model are obtain...     Read More
