Language Model plays a vital role in speech recognition systems. Restricting the search space, language models combine the result of words recognition phase with the assumptions gained from the rules and structure of words’ syntax (inflection and etc…), resulting into a more appropriate sequence of words as output. Since the language model for a specific language is not static and varies under the influence of different conditions, the problem of matching language model is being posed. In general, the aim of an adaptive language model is to offer a model capable of capturing all possible changes in the structure of words’ syntax, inflection and semantic structures. If the matching process... 

In recent years there has been an increasing attention and significance being devoted to promotion and implementation of policies and mechanisms which foster entrepreneurship in various countries. In such a setting, many researchers and policy advisers have recommended establishment of new institutions which cause the growth in the number of entrepreneurs as well as their success rate in establishing their enterprises. The introduction of "Accelerators" and their subsequent success, have attracted the attention of many entrepreneurship stakeholders, such as entrepreneurs, investors and policy makers. In spite of the establishment and growth of accelerators in many countries, so far there has... 

Since the classical continuum theory fails to deal with the problems associated with defects, stress concentrators, and relevant deformation phenomena in solids, alternative approaches that can detect the atomistic nature of materials' fracture are required. The deficiency of the capture the size effect which yields delusively high values for some components of the stress field right on the edge of the stress concentrators, and its weakness in describing the complex interaction between small inhomogeneities, cracks and the like when they are only a few nanometers apart, are among some of the disadvantages of the classical approach. In recent years, however, atomistic methods are emerging to... 

“Entrepreneurship ecosystem” is defined as the elements – individuals, organizations or institutions – apart from the individual entrepreneur that are conducive to, or inhibitive of, the choice of a person to become an entrepreneur, or the probabilities of his or her success following launch. Entrepreneurial businesses operate locally or regionally and are therefore subject to local or regional contextual influence. Moreover particularly in larger countries there can exist significant variation in industry structure and economic base across regions, emphasizing the importance of regional focus. Adopting appropriate policies at the regional level need to have a deep and accurate...
