This tool thus has made research process much more efficient, accurate,and productive.IntroductionThe primary objective of presented work was to develop a speech recognition engine - analysisand testing environment in MATLAB. The problem encountered when working with speechrecognition projects is the fact that the processed data comes in the form of a large collection ofvectors (e.g., matrix) that typically represent energies of a speech sounds at various frequencybands [1]. Developed testing utility is extremely useful because it provides visual representationof various complex parameters represented as patters, vectors or scalars extracted from time-dependent speech signal.

Conversation?IntroductionOver the course of the past decade, the academic community has increasingly recognized themental health challenges faced by graduate students as a pivotal area of concern (Evans, et al.,2018; Nature, 2019). This recognition is in response to findings that suggest graduate students,especially those in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines, are at ahigher risk for mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress (Bork & Mondisa, 2022;Diezel, et al., 2013; Nagy, et al., (2019) Saravanan & Wilks, 2014). Findings from Bork andMondisa's (2022) recent scoping literature review attribute this heightened risk, in part, to theunique pressures and stressors inherent to the academic and research

Introduction When a semiconductor device operates, it consumes energy and generates heat. The powerconsumption is a key issue in today’s digital system design. In a CMOS transistor, the dynamicpower is related to the charging and discharging of the load capacitance at the gate output and isproportional to the switching frequency.
