A Corpus-Based Concatenative Speech Synthesis System For Turkish, Haşi̇m Sak, Tunga Güngör, Yaşar Safkan Jan 2006

A Corpus-Based Concatenative Speech Synthesis System For Turkish, Haşi̇m Sak, Tunga Güngör, Yaşar Safkan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Speech synthesis is the process of converting written text into machine-generated synthetic speech. Concatenative speech synthesis systems form utterances by concatenating pre-recorded speech units. Corpus-based methods use a large inventory to select the units to be concatenated. In this paper, we design and develop an intelligible and natural sounding corpus-based concatenative speech synthesis system for the Turkish language. The implemented system contains a front-end comprised of text analysis, phonetic analysis, and optional use of transplanted prosody. The unit selection algorithm is based on commonly used Viterbi decoding algorithm of the best-path in the network of the speech units using spectral …

In this approach, an ANN has been included in the protection algorithm as an extension of the existing methods, which improves the reliability of the protection operation. The design procedure of the proposed relay is presented in detail. Simulation studies are performed and the influence of changing system parameters, such as fault resistance and source impedance, is studied. Performance studies show that the proposed …


Sturm-Liouville Equation: The Bridge Between Eigenvalue And Green's Function Problems, Levent Sevgi̇ Jan 2006

Sturm-Liouville Equation: The Bridge Between Eigenvalue And Green's Function Problems, Levent Sevgi̇

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This article is intended as an educational aid and discusses guided wave propagation problems that are modeled via the Sturm-Liouville equation in electromagnetics. The bridge between source-free (eigenvalue) and source-driven (Green's function) problems that are represented by the same Sturm-Liouville equation is emphasized. The presentation focuses on representation of an arbitrary source from the features (eigenfunctions) of the problem geometry and extraction of the eigenvalues of a problem from propagation characteristics (Green's function) on a canonical problem; a homogeneously filled parallel plate waveguide with non-penetrable boundaries

In order to validate the effectiveness of GSPI controller, simulation studies for a single-machine infinite bus power system are used .The results verify improved performance of GSPI controller comparing to conventional AVR under various operating conditions.


State-Space Synthesis Of Current-Mode First-Order Log-Domain Filters, Ali̇ Kirçay, Uğur Çam Jan 2006

State-Space Synthesis Of Current-Mode First-Order Log-Domain Filters, Ali̇ Kirçay, Uğur Çam

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper proposes current-mode first-order log-domain filters, which are systematically derived using the state-space synthesis procedure. First-order low-pass, high-pass, and all-pass responses are obtained with different circuit types. The filter circuits have very simple structures, since they use only bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and a grounded capacitor. They can be electronically tuned by changing an external current. The filters have a greater bandwidth due to inherently current-mode and log-domain operation. PSPICE simulations are given to confirm the theoretical analysis.

Some Random Fixed Point Theorems For Non-Self Nonexpansive Random Operators, Poom Kumam, Somyot Plubtieng Jan 2006

Some Random Fixed Point Theorems For Non-Self Nonexpansive Random Operators, Poom Kumam, Somyot Plubtieng

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let (\Omega, \Sigma) be a measurable space, with \sum a sigma-algebra of subsets of \Omega, and let E be a nonempty bounded closed convex and separable subset of a Banach space X, whose characteristic of noncompact convexity is less than 1. We prove that a multivalued nonexpansive, non-self operator T: \Omega \times E \rightarrow KC(X) satisfying an inwardness condition and itself being a 1-\chi-contractive nonexpansive mapping has a random fixed point. We also prove that a multivalued nonexpansive, non-self operator T:\Omega\times E\rightarrow KC(X) with a uniformly convex X satisfying an inwardness condition has a random fixed point.


Remarks About Some Weierstrass Type Results, Mihai Turinici Jan 2006

Remarks About Some Weierstrass Type Results, Mihai Turinici

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The Weierstrass type results of Gajek and Zagrodny [7] are not in general retainable in the precise context. Our first aim in this exposition is to show that a completion of the imposed conditions may be offered so that these results be true. As a second aim, alternate proofs of the statements in question are performed, via ordering principles comparable with the one in Brezis and Browder [3].

Synthesis And Characterization Of Metal Complexes Of Cu(Ii), Ni(Ii), Zn(Ii), Co(Ii), Mn(Ii) And Cd(Ii) With Tetradentate Schiff Bases, Jianning Liu, Bo-Wan Wu, Bing Zhang, Yongchun Liu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

4-(Benzeneazo)salicylaldehyde was synthesized with aniline, sodium nitrite and salicylaldehyde. Two tetradentate ligands, N,N'-bis[4-(benzeneazo) salicylaldehyde]-o-phenylenediamine (H_2L) and N,N'-bis[4-(benzeneazo) salicylaldehyde]ethylenediamine (H_2L') were formed by the 2:1 molar condensation of 4-(benzeneazo) salicylaldehyde with o-phenylenediamine or ethylenediamine. Their Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Mn(II) and Cd(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity measurements, and infrared and electronic spectral data. Two ligands and their Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes were further identified using ^1H NMR spectra. The results suggest that the metal is bonded to the ligand through the phenolic oxygen and the imino nitrogen.

The Impact Of Polyacrylamide Molecular Weight On Its Adsorption Behavior At The Gold/Acidic Solution Interface, Dragica B. Chamovska, Toma P. Grchev, Maja V. Cvetkovska Jan 2006

The Impact Of Polyacrylamide Molecular Weight On Its Adsorption Behavior At The Gold/Acidic Solution Interface, Dragica B. Chamovska, Toma P. Grchev, Maja V. Cvetkovska

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Adsorption isotherms for polyacrylamide (PAA) on polycrystalline gold, from sulfuric acid (potential range 0-2.0 V/she; 293 K), were obtained by means of cyclic voltammetry with simultaneous monitoring of the double-layer capacity. The Frumkin isotherm indicates that relatively strong attractive forces are present (a = 0.8-1.0), and the Gibbs energies range between 43 and 56 kJ mol^{-1}. The coverage (\theta) of the metal surface with polymer molecules depends on the molar concentration of PAA, as well as on its molecular weight, and the size of the statistical polymer coil in the solution (R_G = 7.49 \times 10^{-3} \times M_n^{0.64}/nm). The adsorption …

Profiling Of Lithium And Potassium Into Silicon, Ali M. Mousa Jan 2006

Profiling Of Lithium And Potassium Into Silicon, Ali M. Mousa

Turkish Journal of Physics

The profiling of Lithium and Potassium into Silicon doped by electro deposition from molten salts (LiBr, KI) has been studied for various time periods and deposition currents. For the samples studied, changes in the deposition time and current have significant effects on the conductivity type and sheet resistance variation. This has been attributed to the high value of solid solubility of Lithium and Potassium in Silicon. Additionally, surface concentration variation with depth is affected significantly by variation in deposition time, particular for samples with a deposition time of 7 minutes. A junction was found 156 microns from the surface. For …


Optical Pulse Distortion In Fibonacci-Class Multilayer Stacks, A Rostami, S. Matloub Jan 2006

Optical Pulse Distortion In Fibonacci-Class Multilayer Stacks, A Rostami, S. Matloub

Turkish Journal of Physics

Optical pulse distortion and propagation through quasi-periodic structures generally and especially for Fibonacci-class, is investigated analytically and simulated numerically. In this analysis, the transfer matrix method (TMM) for distortion evaluation is used. The simulated results for Fibonacci-class quasi-periodic structures and pure periodic multilayer stacks are compared. We show that the Fibonacci-class quasi-periodic structure has a large dispersion coefficient with respect to a similar case in the periodic structure. So, quasi-periodic structures will destroy the incident pulse shape for smaller stack length than a periodic case in a similar situation. Finally, using output power, the distortion limit can be estimated and …

Transient Photoconductivity In Amorphous Se-Ge-Ag System, R. S. Sharma, D. Kumar, A. Kumar Jan 2006

Transient Photoconductivity In Amorphous Se-Ge-Ag System, R. S. Sharma, D. Kumar, A. Kumar

Turkish Journal of Physics

Transient Photoconductivity measurements have been made in vacuum evaporated thin films of Se_{0.80 - x}Ge_{0.20}Ag_x at different intensities, temperatures and illumination times. The films exhibit long-lived residual photoconductivity, called persistent photoconductivity, with an extremely slow decay rate. The persistent photoconductivity (PPC) increases with an increase in intensity and illumination time. However, this quantity decreases with increase in temperature. These results indicate that the decay of photoconductivity is not only governed by the carrier trapped in the intrinsic defects but also gets affected by the light induced defect creation through structural changes The persistent photoconductivity effect is found to be suppressed …
