background and aim: digits are suitable materials for hearing assessment of wide range of patients including children and adults with various language abilities. single monosyllabic 1-10 digits in triplet formant have been used for measuring speech recognition threshold in signal-to-noise ratio. the purpose of this study was to determine signal-to-noise ratio (snr) needed for 50 percent correct...

background: speech perception ability depends on auditory and extra-auditory elements. the signal-to-noise ratio (snr) is an extra-auditory element that has an effect on the ability to normally follow speech and maintain a conversation. speech in noise perception difficulty is a common complaint of the elderly. in this study, the importance of snr magnitude as an extra-auditory effect on speech...

background and aim: with regard to the shortage of proper materials in persian for the evaluation of speech perception in children, this study aimed to develop the persian version of the bkb sentence test, and determine its content validity in normal persian speaking children aged 6-12 years. methods: this study was an applied research. the study procedure comprised sentence construction, deter...

background: the microarray technology is in needed of cost-effective, low background noise and stable substrates for successful hybridization and analysis. methods: in this research, we developed a three-dimentional stable and mechanically reliable microarray substrates by coating of two polymeric layers on standard microscope glass slides. for fabrication of these substrates, a thin film of ox...

We carried out a comparative analysis of the algorithms for detecting a rectangular impulse against Gaussian white noise under either authorized or unauthorized access to the transmitted data. We presupposed that for data transmission the binary communication system is used and that the useful information in the data is whether the signal is present or absent. The case is that unauthorized acce...

introduction radiofrequency planar microcoils are used to increase the resolution of magnetic resonance images of small samples. in this study, we aimed to design and fabricate a spiral planar microcoil constructed on a double-sided printed circuit board (pcb). it has four rings with an internal diameter of 241 microns tuned and matched at 63.8 mhz. materials and methods to achieve the maximum ...

We have developed the effective algorithm for detecting digital binary phase-shift keyed signals. This algorithm requires a small number of arithmetic operations over the signal period. It can be relatively easy implemented based on the modern programmable logic devices. It also provides high interference immunity by identifying signal presence when signal-to-noise ratio is much less that its w...
