Genetic algorithm (GA) has been successfully applied to codebook design for vector quantization (VQ). However, most conventional GA-based codebook design methods need long runtime because candidate solutions must be "ne tuned by LBG. In this paper, a partition-based GA is applied to codebook design, which is referred to as genetic vector quantization (GVQ). In addition, simulated annealing (SA)...

Abstract Background and Objectives Strengthening effects of sodium alginate (AG, anionic gum) locust bean gum (LBG, neutral on dough's network structures were investigated. Findings Among all samples, dough containing 0.6% AG showed the longest development stability time, which was longer than that LBG by 7.8% 15.5%, respectively. The relative elastic part maximum creep compliance (36.26%–59.13...

Locust bean gum (LBG) is an industrially important polysaccharide used widely in food, cosmetics, textiles, and biopharmaceutical applications, where understanding its solution behaviour for formulation design. To address this, we investigate the structure dynamics of LBG aqueous using steady state shear rheology, static light scattering (SLS), ultra-small-angle (USALS), dynamic (DLS). We find ...

This paper presents an unsupervised approach to Automatic Language Identification (ALI) based on vowel system modeling. Each language vowel system is modeled by a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) trained with automatically detected vowels. Since this detection is unsupervised and language independent, no labeled data are required. GMMs are initialized using an efficient data-driven variant of the L...

We present here a proof-of-concept of a novel, efficient method for modeling of liquid/gas interface dynamics. Our approach consists in coupling the lattice Boltzmann gas (LBG) and the level set (LS) methods. The inherent parallel character of LBG accelerated by level sets is the principal advantage of our approach over similar particle based solvers. Consequently, this property allows for effi...

We present a 6-step didactic planning framework for the integration of location-based games (LBGs) into practical teaching, aiming at a conceptual approach to the dissemination of LBGs for scientific and educational users. We combine approaches from location-based mobile learning with didactic concepts and determine different procedures for the design of a LBG for four learning paradigms. Our f...

In this paper a stochastic generalisation of the standard Linde-Buzo-Gray (LBG) approach to vector quantiser (VQ) design is presented, in which the encoder is implemented as the sampling of a vector of code indices from a probability distribution derived from the input vector, and the decoder is implemented as a superposition of reconstruction vectors. This stochastic VQ (SVQ) is optimised usin...

Location-based games (LBGs) are an effective tool to enhance engagement in cultural heritage experiences. Especially for digital natives (i.e., Generation Z), LBGs a new way experience heritage. However, combining the heterogeneous experiences of and gaming without losing control game is challenge LBG development. This qualitative study proposes model based on Z. Fifteen research participants w...
