Noise power spectral density (PSD) estimation is a crucial part of speech enhancement system due to its contributory effect on the quality of the noise reduced speech. A novel estimation method for color noise PSD on the basis of an assumption of generalized Gamma distribution and maximum a posteriori (MAP) criterion is proposed. In the experiment, generalized Gamma PDF which is a natural exten...

The aim of this study was to quantify the morphological changes in the arterial wall resulting from poststenotic dilatation (PSD). PSD was produced by placing a split nylon ring around the thoracic aorta of the rabbits at a level of T6-7 during a sterile thoracotomy done under pentobarbital anesthesia. After period of PSD ranging from 1-51 months these rabbits were anesthetized, as were the con...

Abstract This paper presents a neural-based model for estimating the particle size distribution (PSD) of a polymer latex, which is an important physical characteristic that determines some end-use properties of the material (e.g., when it is used as an adhesive, a coating, or an ink). The PSD of a dilute latex is estimated from combined DLS (dynamic light scattering) and ELS (elastic light scat...

Atmospheric microplasma electrochemistry was utilized to synthesize Au nanoparticles (NPs). The synthesized Au NPs were investigated as a function of reduction current, solution temperature, and stirring (or not) by using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorbance and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was illustrated that high current promoted the growth of Au NPs with small size, and mor...

Our understanding of the organization of postsynaptic signaling systems at excitatory synapses has been aided by the identification of proteins in the postsynaptic density (PSD) fraction, a subcellular fraction enriched in structures with the morphology of PSDs. In this study, we have completed the identification of most major proteins in the PSD fraction with the use of an analytical method ba...

A detailed model was developed for the emulsion copolymerization of styrene and MMA to predict the evolution of the particle size distribution (PSD) and molecular weight distribution (MWD) over the entire range of monomer conversion. A system exhibiting zero-one kinetics was employed. The model was used to optimise the emulsion copolymerization process in order to maximize particle size polydis...

This paper suggests a method to control the particle size distribution in semi-batch emulsion homopolymerizations under structural plant-model mismatch. In this approach, firstly a nominal monomer feed input trajectory is applied to the plant up to a predefined time instant after the start of the batch (mid-course). By means of a calorimetric observer, all states of the system except the partic...

The glutamate receptor subunit delta2 has a unique distribution at the parallel fiber-Purkinje cell synapse of the cerebellum, which is developmentally regulated such that delta2 occurs at both parallel fiber synapses and climbing fiber synapses early in development but is restricted to parallel fiber synapses in adult animals. To identify proteins that might be involved in the trafficking or d...

One of the most important steps in environmental studies is to get an accurate distribution of the pollutants in terms of its quantity and qualities. Some environmental studies are acquiring a good classification of the particle size including the average mean of the particle. Many researchers use the median size (x50) or until the size passing 80% cumulative undersize (x80) as a measure for ev...

Abstract One of the key aspects laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process is quality raw since it affects final properties manufactured parts. In this study, 13 batches Inconel® 718 were analysed, all them being specially designed for L-PBF technology and meeting similar requirements but coming from different suppliers. Therefore, these have certain differences in their characteristics, including...
