In this paper, we investigate the validity of the common assumption made in Wiener filtering that the clean speech and noise signals are uncorrelated under short-time analysis typically used for speech enhancement. In order to achieve this we have performed speech enhancement experiments, where speech corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise is enhanced by a Wiener filter designed in the time...

We describe and characterize a simple, low cost, low phase noise microwave source that operates near 6.800 GHz for agile, coherent manipulation of ensembles of (87)Rb. Low phase noise is achieved by directly multiplying a low phase noise 100 MHz crystal to 6.8 GHz using a nonlinear transmission line and filtering the output with custom band-pass filters. The fixed frequency signal is single sid...

We consider the problem of multiple fitting of linearly parametrized curves, that arises in many computer vision problems such as road scene analysis. Data extracted from images usually contain non-Gaussian noise and outliers, which makes classical estimation methods ineffective. In this paper, we first introduce a family of robust probability density functions which appears to be well-suited t...

background: noise is one of the most pervasive hazards in industrial settings. this retrospective study was carried out to assess the effects of noise exposure on hearing status, blood lipids and blood pressure of employees of a local fireclay mine. methods: two hundred and forty male workers were studied. data on audiometric measurements, blood lipids and blood pressure were derived from the w...

We address the problem of analytic continuation imaginary-frequency Green's functions, which is crucial in many-body physics, using machine learning based on a multi-level residual neural network. specifically potential biases that can be introduced due to use artificially created spectral functions are employed train also implement an uncertainty estimation predicted function, Monte Carlo drop...

This is an exploratory study of jet noise reduction using fan flow deflectors in a nozzle shaped like the exhaust of a separate-flow turbofan engine with bypass ratio 4.8. The deflectors directed the bypass plume downward and/or sideward relative to the core plume. Vaneand wedge-type deflectors were tested. The noise reduction achieved by the vane deflector was strong in the downward direction ...

Prestack depth migration of shot profiles by downward continuation is a practical imaging algorithm that is especially cost-effective for sparse-shot wide-azimuth geometries. The interpretation of offset as the displacement between the downward-propagating (shot) wavefield and upward-propagating (receiver) wavefield enables us to extract offset-domain common imagepoint (CIP) gathers during shot...

original article   introduction: a practical solution which is sometimes efficient for noise control in the receiver locations is to enclose workers in an acoustic cabin. accordingly, prediction of the noise insulation performance is regarded as an important aspect of the design a personnel cabin. this study empirically aims to design an acoustic cabin using sandwich panels in a typical metal i...
