Volume 4, Issue 3, May – June 2015 Page 106 ABESTRACT In recent years, various researchers have come up with different ways and means to integrate CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing). The selection of machining parameters is an important process planning function for manufacturing processes.Typically, machining parameter selection is done manually. The user still ...

This paper describes the use of a rule based system for generation of pronunciation variants as a component of a speech-enabled computer aided pronunciation learning (CAPL) system. This CAPL system is a part of a computer aided recitation of the holy Qur an training system. It generates the most probable pronunciation error hypotheses that are fed to a hidden Markov model (HMM)-based speech rec...

objectives : the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the marginal adaptation and fracture resistance of a zirconia-based all-ceramic restoration with two preparation designs. materials and methods: twenty-four mandibular premolars were randomly divided into two groups (n=12); the conventional group received a peripheral shoulder preparation and the modified group received a buccal sho...

Argument mapping software abounds, 1 and one of the reasons is that using the software has been shown to teach/promote/improve critical thinking skills. These positive results are very encouraging, but they also raise the question of whether the computer tutorial environment is producing these results, or whether learning argument mapping, even with just paper and pencil, is sufficient. Based o...

This paper will discuss the development of the SUM tool, a user library with a graphical user interface within the computer-aided composition environment of PWGL, aimed at the integration of image and sound. We will discuss its internal structure, consisting of image layers, mappers, and paths. We will explain the mapping process, from the retrieval of graphic data to its translation into audio...

modeling and simulation of processing plants are widely used in industry. construction of a mathematical model for a plant is a time-consuming and error-prone task. in light of extensive advancements in computer science (both hardware and software), computers are becoming a necessary instrument in industrial activities. many software tools for modeling, simulation and optimization of processing...

These supplemental notes for the course CAAM 335 Matrix Analysis are, as the name suggests, meant to be used in combination with the lectures and with the CAAM 335 course notes. They contain write-ups of some of the material discussed in class as well as several additional examples. You get the most out of these notes if you look through the relevant sections before each class (to recognize wha...
