A method and a system for dottization of an Arabic Rasm utilizes natural language processing to add dots to Arabic Rasm. Initially, an input sequence of Arabic Rasms i.e., Arabic words without dots, is converted into a machine-readable input sequence. Further, components such as URLs, symbols, punctuation marks, white spaces, diacritics, and Kashida characters are removed, producing a normalized sequence. This sequence is then further refined by consolidating characters that appear in varied forms into single form of character. The consolidated sequence undergoes tokenization, generating multiple tokens. Each token is then padded at both its ends and fed into a trained recurrent neural network for processing, generating Arabic Rasms with dots. The output sequence from the network are the Arabic words with dots (Arabic word representing the Arabic Rasm with their respective dots), the output sequence is also mapped to input sequence as training set.

Abrégé
A sign language recognition system is described. The system includes a motion sensor, a processing circuitry and a display device. The motion sensor captures and records a dynamic sign language gesture as a sign video stream. The processing circuitry is configured with a key postures extractor, an accumulative video motion (AVM), and a sign recognition network (SRN). The key postures extractor captures main postures of the dynamic sign language gesture by extracting key frames in the sign video stream. The AVM captures motion of the sign video stream frames and transforms the motion in an AVM frame into a single AVM image. The SRN is configured as a convolutional network. The main postures and AVM image are fed into a two-stream network. The features from the two stream network are concatenated and fed into the SRN for learning fused features and performing classification of the sign language gesture.

A method for coordinating deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) within a designated region involves obtaining constraint data that specifies the operational limitations under which the UAVs are allowed to operate. A cost function is defined, having a set of cost terms corresponding to these constraints, including a term for the energy consumption of each UAV. This energy consumption is the power required by each UAV to travel from a source to a destination along a prescribed flight path. The method includes executing a UAV-capacity maximization function that generates flight paths for the UAVs based on the cost function, which adjusts the flight paths to minimize the total energy consumed while ensuring that the UAVs do not breach the operational constraints.

Carbon nanofiber doped alumina (Al-CNF) supported MoCo catalysts in hydrodesulfurization (HDS), and/or boron doping, e.g., up to 5 wt % of total catalyst weight, can improve catalytic efficiency. Al-CNF-supported MoCo catalysts, (Al-CNF-MoCo), can reduce the sulfur concentration in fuel, esp. liquid fuel, to below the required limit in a 6 h reaction time. Thus, Al-CNF-MoCo has a higher catalytic activity than Al—MoCo, which may be explained by higher mesoporous surface area and better dispersion of MoCo metals on the AlCNF support relative to alumina support. The BET surface area of Al—MoCo may be 75% less than Al-CNF-MoCo, e.g., 166 vs. 200 m2/g. SEM images indicate that the catalyst nanoparticles can be evenly distributed on the surface of the CNF. The surface area of the AlMoCoB5% may be 206 m2/g, which is higher than AlMoCoB0% and AlMoCoB2%, and AlMoCoB5% has the highest HDS activity, removing more than 98% sulfur and below allowed levels.
