In this paper we propose a new method of processing speech degraded by reverberation. The method is based on analysis of short (2 ms) segments of data to enhance the regions in the speech signal having high Signal to Reverberant component Ratio (SRR). The short segment analysis shows that SRR is different in different segments of speech. The processing method involves identifying and manipulati...

The parallel systems are special important types of coherent structures and have many applications in various areas.In this paper we consider a two-exchangeable-component parallel system for the Generalized Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (Generalized FGM) distribution. We study the reliability properties of the residual lifetime of the system under the condition that both components of the system ar...
