the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends
flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
Effects of image compression on ear biometrics
An ear recognition system represents a powerful tool in forensic applications. Even in case the facial characteristic of a suspect is partly or fully covered an image of the outer ear may suffice to reveal a subject’s identity. In forensic scenarios imagery may stem from surveillance cameras of environments where image compression is common practice to overcome limitations of storage or transmi...
متن کاملThe effect of cue-enhancement on consonant intelligibility in noise: speaker and listener effects.
Our previous work (Hazan & Simpson, 1998) has shown that increasing the salience of perceptually important regions of nonsense word and sentence materials aids speech perception in noise. This study aimed to extend these findings by investigating the robustness of these enhancement techniques in improving consonant intelligibility for a range of different speakers and for groups of listeners wi...
متن کاملNonlinear frequency compression: Influence of start frequency and input bandwidth on consonant and vowel recognition.
By varying parameters that control nonlinear frequency compression (NFC), this study examined how different ways of compressing inaudible mid- and/or high-frequency information at lower frequencies influences perception of consonants and vowels. Twenty-eight listeners with mild to moderately severe hearing loss identified consonants and vowels from nonsense syllables in noise following amplific...
متن کاملEffects of Instantaneous Multiband Dynamic Compression on Speech Intelligibility
The recruitment phenomenon, that is, the reduced dynamic range between threshold and uncomfortable level, is attributed to the loss of instantaneous dynamic compression on the basilar membrane. Despite this, hearing aids commonly use slow-acting dynamic compression for its compensation, because this was found to be the most successful strategy in terms of speech quality and intelligibility reha...
