Four-band and single-band noise-excited vocoders were used in acoustic simulations to investigate spectral and temporal cues to melodic pitch in the output of a cochlear implant speech processor. Noise carriers were modulated by amplitude envelopes extracted by half-wave rectification and low-pass filtering at 32 or 400 Hz. The four-band, but not the single-band processors, may preserve spectra...

background and objectives: soil organic carbon is a main soil property and particularly important for development and sustainable management of agricultural systems. soil organic matter content, which is typically measured in the form of soil organic carbon soc content, is commonly regarded as a key indicator of soil quality and utilization (liu et al., 2015). the presence of som has been prove...

fe3o4-containing cotton-like mesoporous silica system (fe3o4@ncsm) was studied with regard to its performance towards the photodecolorization of bromothymol blue (btb) aqueous solution. the surface properties of the functionalized catalyst were analyzed by a series of characterization techniques like ftir, xrd, bet, sem and tem. the n2 adsorption–desorption analysis shows that the mesostructure...

This work aims to extract the mineralogical constituents of the Lahroud Hyperion scene situated in the NW of Iran. Like the other push-broom sensors, Hyperion images suffer from spectral distortions, namely the smile effect. The corresponding spectral curvature is defined as an across-track wavelength shift from the nominal central wavelength, and alters the pixel spectra. The common “column me...

Propagation of radio occultation (RO) signals through the lower troposphere results in high phase acceleration and low signal to noise ratio signal. The excess Doppler estimation accuracy in lower troposphere is very important in receiving RO signals which can be estimated by sliding window spectral analysis. To do this, various frequency estimation methods such as MUSIC and ESPRIT can be adopt...

This paper describes a novel real-time multi-spectral imaging capability for surveillance applications. The capability combines a new high-performance multi-spectral camera system with a distributed algorithm that computes a spectral-screening Principal Component Transform (PCT). The camera system uses a novel filter wheel design together with a high-bandwidth CCD camera to allow image cubes to...

let $p$ be a prime number greater than three. in this paper, we prove the existence of a new family of homotopy elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres $pi_{ast}(s)$ which is represented by $h_nh_mtilde{beta}_{s+2}in {rm ext}_a^{s+4, q[p^n+p^m+(s+2)p+(s+1)]+s}(mathbb{z}_p,mathbb{z}_p)$ up to nonzero scalar in the adams spectral sequence, where $ngeq m+2>5$, $0leq sext}_a^{s+2,q[(s+2)p...
