The Improvement of Polyvinyl Chloride Synthesis Using Different Approaches
Abstract: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is produced by the polymerization of the vinyl chloride monomer either by direct chlorination of olefins or by addition of hydrogen chloride to acetylene. The polymerization conditions are: heat, peroxides or oxidizing agents with basic structure as -CH2CHCl.CHCl-CH2.CHCl-. Polyvinyl chloride is a thermoplastic and its plasticity can be increased by incorporating ‘plasticizers’ of relatively low molecular weight organic materials during molding or extrusion. PVC has high hardness …

Vani-Adapt: A Zero-Shot Accent Trans-Adaptation Framework for Robust Indic Speech Recognition
Abstract: In countries like India with multilingual and accent-rich dialects, speech-based human–computer interaction is important to expand digital services for better accessibility. Even with recent advancements in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), existing systems are still very reactive to regional accents and non-standard speech patterns which is not suitable for seamless experience. Traditional perspectives rely on accent-specific fine-tuning, which is unrealistic for real-world deployment and requires a lot of labeled data, which …
