Efficient syllabic hypothesization in continuous speech has been so far an unsolved problem. A novel solution based on the extraction of acoustic cues is proposed in this paper. This extraction is performed by parallel processes implementing an expert system represented by a grammar of frames.

water stress is one of the main factors affecting the quantity and quality properties of sugar beet. the objective of this experiment was to study the effect of irrigation management on quality and quantity of sugar beet. the present research was conducted in motahary station of sugar beet seed institute,karajin two years, 2005 and 2006. the experiment was based on split plot design, in which e...

A single-cavity microwave heating system has been designed and fabricated for microwave-assisted extraction of carrageenans from seaweed. The system comprises a single mode (TE101) waveguide fitted with power and temperature controls, together with a continuous-flow-recycle reactor operating at atmospheric pressure. The system has been tested by extraction of E. cottonii and E. spinosum in aque...

Supercritical carbon dioxide with ethanol as modifier was employed in the extraction of functional food ingredients from Cystoseira abies-marine algae. Three different types of pre-treatment were employed to prepare the vegetal raw material producing an important effect on extraction yield. The experimental assays were carried out in a semi-continuous extraction cell at 290 bar, 40 °C and using...

For large-scale data mining utilizing data from ubiquitous and mixed-structured data sources, the appropriate extraction and integration into a comprehensive data-warehouse is of prime importance. Then, appropriate methods for validation and potential refinement are essential. This paper presents an approach applying data mining and information extraction methods for data validation: We apply s...

We show a fast algorithm for region extraction based on belief propagation with loopy networks. The solution to this region segmentation problem, which includes the region extraction problem, is of significant computational cost if a conventional iterative approach or statistical sampling methods are applied. In the proposed approach, Gaussian loopy belief propagation is applied to a continuous...
