This paper empirically assesses the effect of liberalisation and competition on innovation in the postal sector. The analysis is restricted to end-to-end competition. The effect on the incentives to innovate of letter volume, public ownership and other con ...
In this paper, a two-dimensional nanometer scale tip-plate discharge model has been employed to study nanoscale electrical discharge in atmospheric conditions. The field strength distributions in a nanometer scale tip-to-plate electrode arrangement were ca ...
Standard hidden Markov model (HMM) based automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems use phonemes as subword units. Thus, development of ASR system for a new language or domain depends upon the availability of a phoneme lexicon in the target language. In th ...
