Attempts to improve similarity measurement can be made by manipulating formulae and reducing the testing data set used but less effort are attempted to propose algorithm. Hence, the purpose of this study is to propose a new algorithm for a better method in shape recognition. To do so, Mahalanobis and Jaccard distance measures were combined to improve the similarity measure. The pre-processing involved feature analysis, shape normalization and shape perfection and data conversion into a binary. In the new algorithm, each edge of the geometric shape was separated and measured using Jaccard distance. Shapes that passed the threshold value were measured by Mahalanobis distance. The results showed that the similarity percentage had increased from 61% to 84%, thus accrued an improved average of 21.6% difference. Having this difference, the three outcomes of this study were a combined algorithm, a new technique of separating the strokes in Jaccard, and lastly, the use of extreme vertices in Mahalanobis similarity measurement to reduce computation time.","PeriodicalId":161995,"journal":{"name":"2011 UkSim 13th International Conference on Computer Modelling and Simulation","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115923956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stroke is therefore a major cause of mortality world-wide. The majority of strokes are caused by a blood clot that occludes an artery in the brain, and although thrombolytic agents such as Alteplase are used to dissolve clots that arise in the arteries of the brain, there are limitations on the use of these thrombolytic agents. However over the past decade, other methods of treatment have been developed which include Thrombectomy Devices e.g. the 'GP' Thrombus Aspiration Device ('GP' TAD). Such devices may be used as an alternative to thrombolytics or in conjunction with them to extract blood clots in arteries such as the middle cerebral artery of the midbrain brain, and the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) of the posterior aspect of the brain. In this paper, we mathematically model the removal of blood clots using the 'GP' TAD from selected arteries of the brain where blood clots may arise taking into account factors such as the resistances, compliances and inertances effects. Such mathematical modelling may have potential uses in predicting the pressures necessary to extract blood clots of given lengths, and masses from arteries in the Circle of Willis - posterior circulation of the brain.","PeriodicalId":161995,"journal":{"name":"2011 UkSim 13th International Conference on Computer Modelling and Simulation","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116029808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays the investigated systems are decreasingly only software or only hardware but a complex system architecture of hard- and software interlinked with each other. Therefore the interfaces of hard- and software can not always be simpilfied to a simple mathematical function as an initial precondition for isolated simulation of hard- and software. Due to the absent ability of simplifying the interfaces, a Co-simulation of hard- and software has to be performed.

The nonlinear model parameters are determined by an incremental tree construction algorithm in a heuristic manner in order to avoid the application of nonlinear optimization techniques. The results show that the LOLIMOT gives best fitting on the train and test data.

A new radix-4 DIT algorithm for computing the DHT is proposed, which introduces multiplying structures in addition to the stage structures in the signal flow diagram that perform the multiplications with the stage independent cosine coefficients and their related additions leading to simplification of the stage structures. This leads to a reduction in the number of multiplications and additions.

Aiming to address this need, in this paper we have considered some significant viewpoints of Spoken Language Processing (SLP) on the phonetic transcription of each word for the preprocessing of text-to-speech synthesis. On the other hand, lack of researches on automatic language detection for text transcription in different languages by considering the phonology of that language, motivated us to make a text language identifier system for commonly-used contexts. It therefore encouraged us to conduct a novel research into semi-English texts that people from different nations often use in their conversational transcripts such as email or chat via the Internet or cell phone text messaging services. In this research, we have investigated the language of text sequences by employing phonotactics rules, chiefly on Finglish (a portmanteau term combining Farsi and English) which is an alternative writing format for the Farsi Language, which has its own orthographic system, by means of English letters. As this is the first paper regarding Finglish texts, it can be tremendously exciting to enhance the text-to-speech synthesis systems created by advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms to specifying the language of each sentence in the first place. Finally, we have also proposed highly recommended writing rules for Finglish for it to be easily understood, translated to English and converted to natural speech.","PeriodicalId":161995,"journal":{"name":"2011 UkSim 13th International Conference on Computer Modelling and Simulation","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132432664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
