In Korean, each digit is monosyllable and some pairs are known to have high confusability, causing performance degradation of connected digit recognition systems. To improve the performance, in this paper, we employ various discriminant analyses (DA) including Linear DA (LDA), Weighted Pairwise Scatter LDA WPS-LDA), Heteroscedastic Discriminant Analysis (HDA), and Maximum Likelihood Linear Transformation (MLLT). We also examine several combinations of various DA for additional performance improvement. Experimental results show that applying any DA mentioned above improves the string accuracy, but the amount of improvement of each DA method varies according to the model complexity or number of mixtures per state. Especially, more than 20% of string error reduction is achieved by applying MLLT after WPS-LDA, compared with the baseline system, when class level of DA is defined as a tied state and 1 mixture per state is used.

In this study electrical impedance plethysmograph was developed and each ten digital blood flow was measured for eight nomal males and a patient tvith digital arterial reconstruction surgery. Blood flow of the digit with surgery was approximately fourty percent compared to that of the other normal digit. For the normal subjects, right - handed subjects generally have larger blood flow in right fingers than that in left fingers while it was reverse for the left - handed subjects. The relative average magnitude of the digltal blood flow Is the third, first, second, fourth, and fifth digit in descending order for the left and rich hand, respectively. Blood flow of the fifth digit for all subjec!s except one was the smallest among the five digits.

Communication between human and machine is having been researched from last few decades and still it's a challenging task because human behavior is unpredictable. When it comes on handwritten digits almost each human has their own writing style. Handwritten digit recognition plays an important role, especially in the courtesy amounts on bank checks, postal code on mail address etc. In our study, we proposed an efficient feature extraction system for recognizing single digit number drawn by mouse or by a finger on a screen. Our proposed method combines basic image processing and reading the strokes of a line drawn. It is very simple and easy to implement in various platform as compare to the system which required high system configuration. This system has been designed, implemented, and tested successfully.

In this Paper, 3 digit-Serial multilier With 3 digit size of 32 is proposed, which has more advantages than the 193bit serial LFSR architecture. We give a design example for the irreducible trinomials $x^{193}$＋ $x^{15＋1}$. In hardware implementations, it is often desirable to use the irreducible trinomial equations. The proposed multiplier is verified with a VHDL description using an elliptic curve addition. The measured results show that the proposed multiplier is 0.3 times smaller than the bit-serial LFSR multiplier..

Most of speech recognition systems are using Hidden Markov Model based on statistical modelling frequently. In Korean isolated telephone digit speech recognition, high recognition rate is gained by using HMM if many training data are given. But in Korean continuous telephone digit speech recognition, HMM has some limitations for similar telephone digits. In this paper we suggest a way to overcome some limitations of HMM by using discriminant learning based on minimal classification error criterion in Korean continuous telephone digit speech recognition. The experimental results show our method has high recognition rate for similar telephone digits.

Utterance verification aims at rejecting both out-of-vocabulary (OOV) utterances and low-confidence-scored in-vocabulary (IV) utterances. For utterance verification on Korean connected digit recognition task, we investigate several methods to construct filler and anti-digit models. In particular, we propose a substitution error correction method based on 2-best decoding results. In this method, when 1st candidate is rejected, 2nd candidate is selected if it is accepted by a specific hypothesis test, instead of simply rejecting the 1st one. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional log likelihood ratio (LLR) test method.

In this paper we study the sequences defined by the last and the last non-zero digits of $n^n$ in base b. For the sequence given by the last digits of $n^n$ in base b, we prove its periodicity using different techniques than those used by W. Sierpinski and R. Hampel. In the case of the sequence given by the last non-zero digits of $n^n$ in base b (which had been studied only for b = 10) we show the non-periodicity of the sequence when b is an odd prime power and when it is even and square-free. We also show that if $b=2^2{^s}$ the sequence is periodic and conjecture that this is the only such case.

Varix of the digit is generally defined as an enlarged, tortuous palmar digital vein with or without thrombus within it. It usually presents as a firm, blue mass on the volar aspect of the finger. Mechanical compression or chronic trauma to veins on the volar surface of a digit appears central to the pathogenesis of this lesion. Aging phlebectasia has also been considered as a cause of this lesion in the elderly. A tourniquet test may be useful in demonstrating the presence of a digital varix, but it is confirmed by postoperative microscopic examination. Excision of a symptomatic lesion has proven to be curative. We report two cases of symptomatic digital varix which developed in the fourth finger with a review of literatures.

Recently, mathematics education have been emphasized on developing students' mathematical thinking and problem solving abilities. Accordance with this emphasis, dramatical changes are needed in learning mathematics not merely let alone students solve real-made mathematics problems. The project learning to explore a counterweight activity will have an effects on positive mathematical attitude(to pose problem, to have curiosity) and mathematical thinking(power 10-digit representation, 2-digit number, two representation of 3-digit number, connect exponential number and log situation) which could develop understanding problems and critical thinking.

In this paper, a new approach for continuous digits recognition using the Spatio-Temporal Neural Network (STNN) is reported. The continuous seven digits are gargeted to recognize, and our initial recognition rate was 28%. In this paper, to increase the recognition rate, two methods are proposed. In the first method, to compensated the STNN's own defect as well as to emphasize the Korean digits' phonic characteristics, the starting point ofeach digit is detected using the energy and zero-crossing rate, but the ending point is detectedonly using the energy value. In this case, the seven digits recognition reate increased to 61%. Furthermore, in the second method, considering the fact that a same digit could be pronounced differently in continuously spoken environment, the number of STNNs used to represent each digit is increased from one to five. Consequently, the same digit but pronounced differently could be handled well in the new system. As a result of that, the continuously spoken seven digits recognition rate increased to 89%.
