tehran as the biggest metropolitan of iran is located in the areas that are at high-risk of earthquake. what increases tehran's vulnerability toward earthquake is the urban physical expansion in vaious dimensions. since the analysis of the mentioned expansion is a solution to many urban problems, the effects of tehran expansion in increasing vulnerability to earthquake has been surveyed in...

Expansion is commonly used to reduce microphone noise and low-level environmental noises that can be annoying to hearing aid users. It may also improve or reduce the perception of low-level speech. This study assessed the impact of two expansion algorithms, single and multiple channel, on speech reception thresholds (SRT) with 10 hearing impaired listeners wearing hearing aids with ADRO process...

A complete RF coil system, as has been previously defined, is capable of generating any steady-state RF field, at the MR frequency, that is compatible with Maxwell's equations. A coil system is complete if it is capable of generating all basis vector fields in the multipole expansion of the electromagnetic fields. A complete coil system has the potential to reach the ultimate intrinsic signal-t...

We study linear stochastic evolution partial differential equations driven by additive noise. We present a general and flexible framework for representing the infinite dimensional Wiener process which is driving the equation. Since the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the covariance operator of the process are usually not available for computations, we propose an expansion in an arbitrary fram...

A new noise reduction algorithm HeNLM-LA is proposed. It is a modi cation of the non-local means algorithm using Hermite functions expansion of pixel neighborhoods. The ltering strength parameter is automatically adjusted proportionally to the local noise level. An algorithm for local noise level estimation is based on edge modeling; it suppresses high-amplitude edges in the map of local image ...

Persistent activity observed during delayed-response tasks for spatial working memory (Funahashi et al., 1989) has commonly been modeled by recurrent networks whose dynamics is described as a bump attractor (Compte et al., 2000). We examine the effects of interareal architecture on the dynamics of bump attractors in stochastic neural fields. Lateral inhibitory synaptic structure in each area su...
