Analytical expressions for the Green’s function of an annular elliptical ring microstrip
antenna (AERMA) are developed and reported. The modal, radiation and input impedance
characteristics of the TM, modes are determined from these expressions. The resonant frequencies of
odd modes are greater than that of the even modes for all TMnl modes (n = 1, 2, 3, ...) udke
elliptical microstrip structures. The radiation pattern and input imedance curves of TMI2 mode on
comparison with available experimental result shows good agreement whch provides an independent
validation to this technique. The performance of the AERMA is then investigated as a function of
thickness and substrate dielectric permittivity.

In a leading service economy like India, services lie at
the very center of economic activity. Competitive organizations
now look not only at the skills and knowledge, but also at the
behavior required by an employee to be successful on the job.
Emotionally competent employees can effectively deal with
occupational stress and maintain psychological well-being. This
study explores the scope of the first two formants and jitter to
assess seven common emotional states present in the natural
speech in English. The k-means method was used to classify
emotional speech as neutral, happy, surprised, angry, disgusted
and sad. The accuracy of classification obtained using raw jitter
was more than 65 percent for happy and sad but less accurate for
the others. The overall classification accuracy was 72% in the
case of preprocessed jitter. The experimental study was done on
1664 English utterances of 6 females. This is a simple, interesting
and more proactive method for employees from varied
backgrounds to become aware of their own communication styles
as well as that of their colleagues' and customers and is therefore
socially beneficial. It is a cheap method also as it requires only a
computer. Since knowledge of sophisticated software or signal
processing is not necessary, it is easy to analyze

This paper explains the Genetic Algorithm (GA)
evolution of optimized wavelet that surpass the cdf9/7
wavelet for fingerprint compression and reconstruction.
Optimized wavelets have already been evolved in previous
works in the literature, but they are highly computationally
complex and time consuming. Therefore, in this work, a simple
approach is made to reduce the computational complexity of
the evolution algorithm. A training image set comprised of
three 32x32 size cropped images performed much better than
the reported coefficients in literature. An average
improvement of 1.0059 dB in PSNR above the classical cdf9/7
wavelet over the 80 fingerprint images was achieved. In
addition, the computational speed was increased by 90.18 %.
The evolved coefficients for compression ratio (CR) 16:1
yielded better average PSNR for other CRs also. Improvement
in average PSNR was experienced for degraded and noisy
images as well

This paper describes certain findings of intonation and intensity study of emotive speech with the minimal use of
signal processing algorithms. This study was based on six basic emotions and the neutral, elicited from 1660 English
utterances obtained from the speech recordings of six Indian women. The correctness of the emotional content was
verified through perceptual listening tests. Marked similarity was noted among pitch contours of like-worded,
positive valence emotions, though no such similarity was observed among the four negative valence emotional
expressions. The intensity patterns were also studied. The results of the study were validated using arbitrary
television recordings for four emotions. The findings are useful to technical researchers, social psychologists and to
the common man interested in the dynamics of vocal expression of emotions

Abstract:
This paper presents a new approach to the design of
combinational digital circuits with multiplexers using
Evolutionary techniques. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used as the
optimization tool. Several circuits are synthesized with this
method and compared with two design techniques such as
standard implementation of logic functions using multiplexers
and implementation using Shannon’s decomposition technique
using GA. With the proposed method complexity of the circuit
and the associated delay can be reduced significantly
