the present paper investigates the potential application of graphene sheets with attached nanoparticles as resonant sensors by introducing a nonlocal shear deformation plate model. to take into account an elastic connection between the nanoplate and the attached nanoparticle, the nanoparticle is considered as a mass-spring system. then, a combination of pseudo-spectral and integral quadrature m...

in this paper, a numerical efficient method is proposed for the solution of time fractionalmobile/immobile equation. the fractional derivative of equation is described in the caputosense. the proposed method is based on a finite difference scheme in time and legendrespectral method in space. in this approach the time fractional derivative of mentioned equationis approximated by a scheme of order o...

in this paper, a new spectral-iterative method is employed to give approximate solutions of fractional logistic differential equation. this approach is based on combination of two different methods, i.e. the iterative method cite{35} and the spectral method. the method reduces the differential equation to systems of linear algebraic equations and then the resulting systems are solved by a numer...

Spectral subtraction (SS) is derived using maximum likelihood estimation assuming both noise and speech follow Gaussian distributions and are independent from each other. Under this assumption, noisy speech, speech contaminated by noise, also follows a Gaussian distribution. However, it is well known that noisy speech observed in real situations often follows a heavytailed distribution, not a G...

the purpose of this study is to implement a new modification of the variational iteration method (h-s-vim), which is a combination of spectral method and variational iteration method for heat transfer problems with high nonlinearity order. the merit of this method is that it does not require the solution of any linear or nonlinear system of equations unlike spectral method. furthermore the prop...

The method of spectral distribution only requires simple structural data of graph and allows us to avoid a heavy combinational argument often necessary to obtain full description of spectrum of the adjacency matrix. The idea of calculation of the probability amplitudes for continuous-time quantum walk, in terms of the spectral distribution associated with the adjacency matrix of graphs was firs...

A linear pseudo-inverse method for unsupervised illuminant recovery from natural scenes is presented. The algorithm, which uses a digital RGB camera, selects the naturally occurring bright areas (not necessarily the white ones) in natural images and converts the RGB digital counts directly into the spectral power distribution of the illuminants using a learning-based spectral procedure. Computa...

Nonlinear estimation method of spectral reflectance from camera responses is proposed. The proposed method minimizes the mean square error of spectral reflectance when the reflectance can be regarded as a random sequence of Gaussian mixture distribution. In computer simulations, 168 samples of spectral reflectance from a color chart are estimated from their image signals obtained by three- and ...

The problem of color constancy for discounting illumination color to obtain the apparent color of the object has been the topic of much research in computer vision. By assuming the neutral interface reeection and dichromatic reeection with highlights (i.e. highlights have the same color as the illuminant) various methods have been proposed aiming at recovering the illuminant color from color hi...
