Machine translation (MT) is a sub-field of computational linguistics that investigates the use of computer software to translate text or speech from one language to another. It can help people to communicate with others with different natural languages. Machine Translation (MT) between Thai and English languages bas been an ongoing and challenging research topic. Most research has been done on English to Thai machine translation. but not the other way around. Developing a machine translation system which can correctly translate any sentence ...

Predictive coding has proven to be effective for lossless image compression. The predictive coding estimates true color of a pixel based on the true colors of its neighboring pixels. To enhance the accuracy of the estimation, we propose a new and simple predictive coding algorithm that uses the quantized colors of neighboring pixels to estimate the true color of a pixel. The estimation is based on the majority of quantized colors of the three neighboring pixels. Experiments, over a set of true color 24-bit images whose colors of pixels are quantized ...

The dramatic growth of wireless communication technology today makes wireless equipment affordable and widely used. In a situation where a temporary wireless network needs to be established but fixed-base station is not available, a mobile ad hoc network can be implemented. For implementing a mobile ad hoc network, I realize that there are some challenges. Firstly, most of mobile ad hoc network routings rely on establishment of minimum hops route. I argue in this case that there can be some other metrics, which can be used to establish a better ...

Among enterprise application integration solutions, Web Service is a promising technology to achieve the interoperability in heterogeneous environments. However, traditional Web Service invocation may lead to unnecessary network traffic, long response time, and bottleneck problems at service providers. While a publish/subscribe model provides an advantage of prompt notification which can eliminate unnecessary network traffic, its achievement in interoperability is still limited. By integrating Web Service technologies with a publish/subscribe ...

The study utilized field survey data conducted from January 1986 to March 1986. Married women aged 15 to 49 years with experience of at least one live birth were randomly interviewed in depth. Only live births during the period January 1, 1980 to December 31, 1984 were analysed. For a better understanding of the infant mortality situation in Thailand, the author begins with the estimate of regional probability of dying between live birth and selected age by applying the indirect technique developed by Brass, Trussell and Feeney. The data for ...

This study examines changes in the degree of urbanization in various types of a community and an individual's mobility in the three major occupational groups, agriculture, industry and service. Information was obtained from two levels, 1) a community level: a total of 503 communities was sampled from the 1970 and 1980 data tapes of Population and Housing Censuses, and 2) a personal level: a total of 720 households was sampled including 1,294 individuals of 35 years and over, selected for the survey and interviewed concerning their individual ...

The main objective of this research was to establish a prescriptive model for future resettlement design. The assessment methodology contains bivariate and multivariate analyses that include at least two groups of cross-sectional data; before and after resettlement. This data was obtained from household surveys of experimental groups at the Sirindhorn, Khao Laem, Bang Lang, and Rajjaprabha resettlements. Some villages located near to the resettlement projects were surveyed as control groups for comparison purposes. / Results of the assessment and ...
