geosmin and mib are the common factors causing odor in the water. water treatment plants usually employ the conventional processes such as aeration, coagulation, flocculation, chlorination or ozonation and adsorption as preventive measures to reduce water odor. but each of these processes alone cannot completely remove the smell. the smell of fish, grass and mud greatly depends on the excessive...

in this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to enhance the noisy speech in the framework of dual-channel speech enhancement. the new method is a hybrid optimization algorithm, which employs the  combination of  the  conventional θ-pso and the shuffled sub-swarms particle optimization (sspso) technique. it is known that the θ-pso algorithm has better optimization performance than standard pso al...

This paper proposes optimal Boolean, stack, and FIR-Boolean hybrid filters for realizing the prediction stage in lossless grey-level image compression. New optimal design procedures for Boolean filters are introduced, where the optimality criterion is the Error Entropy (EE). The use of the EE-optimal and MAE-optimal Boolean and stack filters in the sequential prediction structure is considered,...

The digital filters play an important role in the field of science and technology. Due to phase linearity and stability digital FIR filters are used in number of applications. The various design technology are developed for the designing of the digital filters using evolutionary techniques like particle swarm optimization(PSO), genetic algorithm(GA), differential evolution(DE) etc. and the modi...

Target tracking is very important field of research as it has wider applications in defense as well as civilian applications. Kalman filter is generally used for such applications. When the process and measurements are non linear extensions of Kalman filters like Extended Kalman Filter, Unscented Kalman Filters are widely used. UKF can give estimations up to second order characteristics of rand...

A description of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) combined Gas Turbine (GT) hybrid system is given. Modeling of all the components of the hybrid system is briefly presented. A decentralized control structure using PI controllers is designed and is considered as a part of the system. An Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is applied to estimate the state vector and the simulation results are presented. ...

-Blind source separation is an advanced statistical tool that has found widespread use in many signal processing applications. However, the crux topic based on one channel audio source separation has not fully developed to enable its way to laboratory implementation. The main idea approach to single channel blind source separation is based on exploiting the inherent time structure of sources kn...

We analyze a variety of optical filtering technologies and find that fiber and rod waveguides provide some thermal distribution advantages as well as useful filtering capabilities for solar energy applications. We define photovoltaic and hybrid improvement factors which characterize the utility of optical filters for solar energy applications. Comparison of two types of optical fiber filtered c...
