In this paper a signal denoising scheme based a multiresolution approach referred to as Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) [1] is presented. The denoising method is a fully data driven approach. Noisy signal is decomposed adaptively into intrinsic oscillatory components called Intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) using a decomposition algorithm algorithm called sifting process. The basic principle o...

Three species have been recognized in the genus Geoparnus Besuchet, 1978, all collected by sifting ground debris from tropical rainforests of Malaysia. The new species Geoparnus loebli sp. nov. is described; morphological similarities to known species G setifer Besuchet, 1978 and G rhinoceros Kodada, Jach, Ciampor Jr & (Camporova-Zat'ovicova, 2007 are discussed.

Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a world-renowned framework for software process improvement, which specifies “What-To-Do” in terms of requirements. However, it leaves the “How-To-Do” part regarding implementation to implementers. The industry especially SMEs (SSMEs) faces difficulties implementing Specific Practices (SPs) Various Process Areas (PAs). Configuration Management Are...
