    Abstract
    Scattered and little research in the field of Persian speech synthesis systems has been performed during the last ten years. Comprehensive framework that properly implements and adapts statistical speech synthesis methods for Persian has not been conducted yet. In this thesis, recent statistical parametric speech synthesis methods including CLUSTERGEN, traditional HMM-based speech synthesis and its STRAIGHT version, are implemented and adapted for Persian language. CCR test is carried out to compare these methods with each other and with unit selection method. Listeners Score samples based on CMOS. The methods were ranked by averaging the CCR scores. The results show that STRAIGHT-based...

    Abstract
    Summary Reliability of a satellite attitude control system depends on accurate detection of failures in its sensors. This paper presents an observer for robust detection and isolation of a class of failures in satellite attitude sensors. The proposed observer uses measurement of a three-axis gyro together with only one attitude sensor, and generates a residual signal which is sensitive to faults and is simultaneously robust against disturbance and noise. A nonlinear model of satellite kinematics is considered for design of the observer. The structure of the observer is in the form of a delayed continuous-time differential equation ensuring its robustness properties. A realistic simulation is...
