Unicode Sinhala and Phonetic English Bi-directional Conversion for Sinhala Speech Recognizer

Punchimudiyanse, M.; Meegama, R.G.N. (IEEE, 2015)

An automated speech recognizer (ASR) having a large vocabulary is yet to be developed for the Sinhala language because of the time consuming nature of gathering the training data to build a language model. The dictionary ...
3D Animation Framework for Sign Language

Punchimudiyanse, M.; Meegama, R.G.N. (2015)

A critical part of animating a sign language using virtual avatar is to display a sign gesture having multiple rotational arm poses to identify a word instead of a single static arm pose. Sequencing a group of gestures ...
3D Signing Avatar for Sinhala Sign Language

Punchimudiyanse, M.; Meegama, R.G.N. (IEEE, 2015-08-24)

Animating signs of a sign language requires on demand bone movement of a signing avatar based on single posture, multi posture signs for the words with a known sign, and fingerprinting signs for representing unknown words ...
Construction of Allometric Relationships to Predict Growth Parameters, Stem Biomass and Carbon of Eucalyptus grandis Growing in Sri Lanka

Subasinghe, S.M.C.U.P. (University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Nugegoda, 2015)

Enhancement of carbon storage through the establishment of man-made forests has been considered as a mitigation option to reduce increasing atmospheric CO2 levels. Therefore the present study was carried out to estimate ...

Subasinghe, S.M.C.U.P. (National Science Foundation, Colombo 07, 2015-04)

According to the United Nations Environment Programme, green economy is the one that results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. In ...
Estimation of Carbon Storage of Different Forest Plantations Established by Sadaharitha Plantations Limited

Subasinghe, S.M.C.U.P.; Nawarathne, B.S.; Gunasekara, U.N. (Central Environmental Authority, Battaramulla, 2015-02-23)

In order to mitigate the global warming resultant due to the rapid industrialization, the "Green Economy Concept" has been introduced to the world which is defined by the United Nations Environmental Programme as one that ...
Investigation of the Potential for Eucalyptus Leaf Oil Extraction Industry in Sri Lanka

Medhavi, S.A.Y.; Subasinghe, S.M.C.U.P.; Hettiarachchi, D.S. (University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Nugegoda, 2015-10-16)

Eucalyptus oil is a product of secondary metabolism of trees which is extracted mostly by its leaves. It holds a long history of use against respiratory infections due to its antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral ...
Characterisation of Agarwood Type Resin of Gyrinops walla Gaertn Growing in Selected Populations in Sri Lanka

Subasinghe, S.M.C.U.P.; Hettiarachchi, D.S. (Elsevier, 2015)

Gyrinops walla is the only agarwood producing tree growing in Sri Lanka which is believed to be endemic. Agarwood is valuable resinous heartwood of Thymalaeaceae family. Present study is aimed to identify the characteristics ...
Floral Diversity of Six Mangrove Forests along the Northwestern Coastline of Wet, Intermediate and Dry Climate Zones of Sri Lanka

Nigamuni, S.S.; Subasinghe, S.M.C.U.P. (Department of Wildlife Conservation, Battaramulla, 2015)

Although the primary role of mangrove vegetations as photosynthetic primary producers, they are the basis of a complex and productive ecosystem. The mangrove forests in the tropics are threatened due to the immense human ...
