This computational fluid dynamic analysis attempts to simulate the incompressible steady fluid flow and heat transfer in a solar air channel with wall-mounted baffles. Two ꞌSꞌ-shaped baffles, having different orientations, i.e., ꞌSꞌ-upstream and ꞌSꞌ-downstream, were inserted into the channel and fixed to the top and bottom walls of the channel in a periodically staggered manner to develop vorti...

Cell migration is a central biological process that requires fine coordination of molecular events in time and space. A deregulation of the migratory phenotype is also associated with pathological conditions including cancer where cell motility has a causal role in tumor spreading and metastasis formation. Thus cell migration is of critical and strategic importance across the complex disease sp...

We present a new method for fitting peculiar velocity models to complete flux limited magnitude-redshifts catalogues, using the luminosity function of the sources as a distance indicator. The method is characterised by its robustness. In particular, no assumptions are made concerning the spatial distribution of sources and their luminosity function. Moreover, selection effects in redshift are a...

The viscoelastic behaviour of a biological material is central to its functioning and is an indicator of its health. The Fung quasi-linear viscoelastic (QLV) model, a standard tool for characterizing biological materials, provides excellent fits to most stress-relaxation data by imposing a simple form upon a material's temporal relaxation spectrum. However, model identification is challenging b...

In this paper, we propose a new blind spatial subtraction array (BSSA) which contains an accurate noise estimator based on independent component analysis (ICA) to realize a noise-robust hands-free speech recognition. First, a preliminary experiment suggests that the conventional ICA is proficient in the noise estimation rather than the direct speech estimation in real environments, where the ta...

The Mel Frequency cepstral coefficients are the most widely used feature in speech recognition but they are very sensitive to noise. In this paper to achieve a satisfactorily performance in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) applications we introduce a noise robust new set of MFCC vector estimated through following steps. First, spectral mean normalization is a pre-processing which applies to t...

The fundamental nature of turbulent density fluctuations in standard Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator discharges is investigated experimentally via phase contrast imaging (PCI) combination with gyrokinetic simulations the code GENE. We find that are ion-temperature-gradient-driven and radially localised outer half plasma. It shown line-integrated PCI measurements cover right range wavenumbers...

In real applications the velocity field of a flow is not available in analytical but in discrete form. One goal of this paper is to analyze particle integration methods for discretized data defined on meshes with regard to numerical efficiency and accuracy. Careful error analysis of the particle tracing process relates the error of velocity interpolation in space and time to the error of the nu...
