Sleep spindles are the most interesting hallmark of stage 2 sleep EEG. Their accurate identification in a polysomnographic signal is essential for sleep professionals to help them mark Stage 2 sleep. Visual spindle scoring however is a tedious workload. In this paper two different approaches are used for the automatic detection of sleep spindles: Short Time Fourier Transform and Automatic Visua...

Disclaimer: These notes are intended to be an accessible introduction to the subject, with no pretense at completeness. In general, you can find more thorough discussions in Oppenheim's book. Please let me know if you find any typos. In this lecture, we discuss the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), which is a fourier representation for finite length signals. The main practical importance of thi...

it has been shown that geopolymerization can transform a wide range of waste aluminosilicate materials into building materials with excellent chemical and physical properties such as fire and acid resistance. in this research work, geopolymerization of construction waste materials with different alkali-activators based on combinations of na2sio3 and naoh has been investigated. a number of syste...

during the last two decades, maximum likelihood estimation (ml) has been used to determine direction of arrival (doa) and signals propagated by the sources, using narrowband array signals. the algorithm fails in the case of wideband signals. as an attempt by the present study to overcome the problem, the array outputs are transformed into narrowband frequency bins, using short time fourier tran...
