This article provides an approach to determine synthesis parameters to be used to synthesize khlui-phiang-aw sound. An alternative excitation signal, namely the asymmetrical triangle waveform was proposed. The subtractive filter was designed in the warped frequency domain and was dewarped before use. The warping factors used were depended on the pitch frequencies. Subtractive filters for different pitches requires different warping factors. An amount of wind noise was added to the filtered signal. The synthesis process ended with a lowpass filter that removed the high frequency content from the synthesis signal. The tasks described were implemented using Python and is available on a public repository.

Brake squeal noise of disc and pad brake interaction has been investigated such that the mode coupling is shown as the root cause of the problem. Normal mode analysis of the disc-pad Finite Element (FE) model, is used to study the mode coupling mechanism. The models of the disc and pad have been updated with the modal testing results where the pad lining material treated as orthotropic material and other materials as isotropic. The updated FE models have been assembled and analyzed for their adjacent modes of the shape coupling. The normal mode results have shown well agreed with the dynamometer test results. Two pad designs have been compared to provide the relevant verification of the technique for further use as the investigation tool of mode coupling.

A Global Positioning System (GPS) tracker installed in a vehicle is commonly used to improve logistics management processes and transportation safety. All GPS trackers must send data including locations, timestamps, and speeds to a server all the time. In case of a device failure, it can be checked by incomplete data; however, a device's sensor inaccuracy, which can create negative consequences to many parties, becomes a challenging issue to detect. With this reason, this paper aims to adopt data visualization to find out the defect of GPS trackers. It has been found that some defects noticed by a visualization were reported, and providers got advantage of this result to maintain their devices.

This research studied the quantities of harmonics cause from the inverter applications, which were used widely in the residential, and farm. Harmonics were considered as non-pure sine waveform that could be affected to the other near by electrical equipment such as additional heating and higher dielectric stress on the capacitors, interruption capability of circuit breakers, the skin effect of the conductors, measurement errors, pulsating torque and noise on rotating machines. Therefore, this paper proposed a process for the harmonic monitoring from the inverter by detecting the signal of current waveform and voltage waveform; The sensors and microprocessor is used to detect the harmonic components, then the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is calculated and estimated the harmonic of the spectrum of the order 3, 5, 7, and 9. As the results, the accuracy of measurement is normally related to the percent of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the signal. Which can be concluded that, the average error of THDi is approximately 9.41% when compare to the reference digital meter UNI-T UA28T.

Heat transfer rate(HTR) is one of the critical issues in controlling the brain tissue temperature under laser irradiation for tumor ablation. To map heat transfer rate in the brain, in this research, cerebral blood flow (CBF) maps were obtained using tissue residue curves of dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) with gadolinium (Gd) contrast agent. Once CBF maps were obtained the heat transfer rate of the tissue was mapped at various tissue temperature. The DSC-MRI measurements were performed for patients with glioblastoma ($mathrm{N} = 2$), meningioma ($mathrm{N}=2$). The perfusion rates in the brain normal parenchyma obtained from CBF maps for the subjects agreed well with the values shown in the database. In the glioblastoma cases, CBF values in the tumor region was relatively low and diffused compared with those in the meningioma cases, in which rich vascular beds are contained in the tumor. The HTR maps were then calculated for 40 to 45 °C for all the subjects. The resultant maps clearly showed the degree of HTR in the unit of watt per cubic meter. From the maps, it was suggested that the heating effect is higher in glioblastoma than in meningioma, and that the HTR data here may be applicable to simulate the temperature distribution in the tissue based on the bio-heat transfer equation.

Recently, Ad-hoc Network is a decentralized network which is used to commute information with each other node without a centralized system such as IoT, wireless sensor devices. The mechanism of the Ad-hoc network is a routing protocol which is used to find the best routing path. However, the traditional approaches probably are taken the high energy consumption. For this purpose, this research addresses the problem of routing protocol when a source sends information to a destination with high energy consumption. The idea of this proposal is improving routing method based on greedy forwarding protocol with three-hop. In detail, the proposed approach defines the appropriate path by setting switching nodes to get the routing path and relay information with low energy consumption. To show more details, in this paper will demonstrate the performance of proposed approach compared with other methods such as Nearest with Forwarding Selection, Random Forwarding Selection and Most Forward with Radius and greedy forwarding base on two-hop by using simulation.

Due to the diversity of human behavior, scene noise, camera view angle and other characteristics, the difficulty of recognizing human behavior has increased. Nowadays, there are more and more problems, such as low learning efficiency or excessive mental pressure. To a large extent, these problems are caused by an unreasonable distribution of work and rest. Therefore, this paper proposes a learning behavior recognition method based on the structure of 3D convolutional neural networks (CNN). This involves taking several continuous frames of video as a group, through effective training, after the convolution and pooling operation to extract the action information in the features. Finally, the recognition and classification results are obtained through the full connection layer and the classifier. The experimental results show that this method is accurate and fast. Taking the KTH dataset as an example, the methods of improving test accuracy under different parameters were compared and discussed, which provided a theoretical basis for learning behavior dataset recognition.

Musical note similarities are usually verified by subjective tests and timbre comparisons. However, for one with no background in frequency analysis and without spectral clue in spectral comparison, it might not be easy for one to see how similar two sounds are. This work proposed a simple index for similarity measurement of musical notes, based on psychoacoustics of pitch and loudness perception, called musical note similarity index (MNSI). It was intended to use as a clue for spectral comparison and defined as a subtraction inverse of normalized summation of penalty weights for each harmonic amplitude and frequency exceeding the just noticeable differences (JNDs). Experiments were done and results were statistically analyzed. The correlation and t-test analysis showed that the MNSIs were well correlated with the subjective evaluations of sound similarity. Statistically, the Pearson correlation coefficient of the test was 0.9396 with 99% confidence.
