In software architecting process, architects use architectural patterns as reusable architectural knowledge for architectural synthesis. However, it has been observed that the resulting architecture does not always conform to the initial architectural patterns employed. Architectural synthesis using architectural patterns is also recognized as a challenging task, especially for novice architect...

This paper introduces a recent development of a Romanian Speech corpus to include prosodic annotations of the speech data in the form of ToBI labels. We describe the methodology of determining the required pitch patterns that are common for the Romanian language, annotate the speech resource, and then provide a comparison of two text-to-speech synthesis systems to establish the benefits of usin...

zeolite zsm-5 presents a great source of interest in catalysis because of its shape selective properties. the absence of a relationship between the template size and shape of the structure generated during the synthesis of zeolites is illustrated by the case of zsm-5. in this study, we have investigated the role of ethanol, methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (mtpbr) and cetyltrimethylammonium b...

Micro-arrays technology has marked a substantial improvement in making available a huge amount of data about gene expression in pathophysiological conditions; among the many papers and books recently devoted to the topic, see, for instance, Hardimann (2003) for a discussion on such a tool. The availability of so many data attracted the attention of the scientific community much on how to extrac...

Parametric methods first choose the form of the model or hypotheses and estimates the necessary parameters from the given dataset. The form, which is chosen, based on experience or domain knowledge, often, need not be the same thing as that which actually exists (Duda, Hart & Stork, 2000). Further, apart from being highly error-prone, this type of methods shows very poor adaptability for dynami...
