Text-to-speech (TTS) is the generation ofsynthesized speech from text.Language is the ability to express one’sthoughts by means of a set of signs (text), gestures,and sounds. It is a distinctive feature of humanbeings, who are the only creatures to use such asystem. Speech is the oldest means of communicationbetween people and it is also the most widely used.‘Speech synthesis’ also called ‘Text to speechsynthesis’ is the artificial production ofhuman speech. A computer system used for thispurpose is called a speech synthesizer and can beimplemented in software. A text-to-speech(TTS) system converts text to speech.The proposed Enhanced Transcriptions Method is developed using Microsoft Visual Studio in VB.Net Language. Firstly word indexing is performed for the predefined words then corresponding speech signal is detected and errors in words are calculated using Euclidean distance. The results of the proposed work shows that Enhanced Transcriptions Method has more accuracy 89% as compared to previous Transcriptions Method 79%. The value of specificity for proposed method is 0.89 and for previous method is 0.79.

Summary1. Plasma thromboplastin has been formed from a mixture of pigs’ plasma, serum and platelets using a modification of the thromboplastin generation system of Biggs and Douglas (1953). The thromboplastic activity in the modified system was more stable than in the original system.2. A sediment with considerable thromboplastic activity has been obtained by centrifugation. This sediment was free of platelets and contained very little thrombin.3. The sediment when resuspended in buffer was fully active only in the presence of calcium and between pH 6.6 and 7.0. The activity slowly decreased at 0—4° C and rapidly at 65° C.4. The sediment rapidly converted prothrombin to thrombin in the absence of factor V.5. The activity of the sediment was unaffected when it was incubated with thrombin.

In this study a new multi-generation system which generates power (electricity), thermal energy (heating and cooling) and ash for agricultural needs has been developed and analysed. The system consists of a Biomass Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (BIGCC) and an absorption chiller system. The system generates about 3.4 MW electricity, 4.9 MW of heat, 88 kW of cooling and 90 kg/h of ash. The multi-generation system has been modelled using Cycle Tempo and EES. Energy, exergy and exergoeconomic analysis of this system had been conducted and exergy costs have been calculated. The exergoeconomic study shows that gasifier, combustor, and Heat Recovery Steam Generator are the main components where the total cost rates are the highest. Exergoeconomic variables such as relative cost difference (r) and exergoeconomic factor (f) have also been calculated. Exergoeconomic factor of evaporator, combustor and condenser are 1.3%, 0.7% and 0.9%, respectively, which is considered very low, indicates that the capital cost rates are much lower than the exergy destruction cost rates. It implies that the improvement of these components could be achieved by increasing the capital investment. The exergy cost of electricity produced in the gas turbine and steam turbine is 0.1050 £/kWh and 0.1627 £/kWh, respectively. The cost of ash is 0.0031 £/kg. In some Asian countries, such as Indonesia, ash could be used as fertilizer for agriculture. Heat exergy cost is 0.0619 £/kWh for gasifier and 0.3972 £/kWh for condenser in the BIGCC system. In the AC system, the exergy cost of the heat in the condenser and absorber is about 0.2956 £/kWh and 0.5636 £/kWh, respectively. The exergy cost of cooling in the AC system is 0.4706 £/kWh. This study shows that exergoeconomic analysis is powerful tool for assessing the costs of products.
