This paper presents and discusses the application of blind source separation to astrophysical data obtained with the WMAP satellite.

toluidine blue o (tbo) is a cationic dye which is extensively used in the industries. in the present paper a simple and efficient wet chemical method was introduced for removal of tbo from waste aqueous solution. magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes were synthesized using commercially available multi-wall carbon nanotubes and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles which were examined for removal o...

In this paper, we investigate the importance of the high frequencies in the problem of convolutive blind source separation (BSS) of speech signals. In particular, we focus on frequency domain blind source separation (FD-BSS), and show that when separation is performed in the low frequency bins only, the recovered signals are similar in quality to those extracted when all frequencies are taken i...

Two dimensional thin layer chromatography on polyamide sheets is a useful method for identification of PTH-amino acids which have very close Rf-values. The solvent systems described here are particularly effective and have an edge over other solvent systems used for the separation of PTH-amino acids. The solvent systems provide a clear separation of all PTH-amono acids except lle / Leu in a...

o bjectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the displacement and stress distri- bution during surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion under different surgical conditions with tooth- and bone-borne devices. materials and methods: three-dimensional (3d) finite element model of a maxilla was constructed and an expansion force of 100 n was applied to the left and right molars and pr...

separation of some biogenic amines via rp-hplc using mixed micellar mobile phase was investigated. the compounds were derivatized before hand by dansyl chloride as a chromophoric reagent. appropriate conditions for separation, were determined by studying factors such as temperature, type and percentage of organic modifier, concentration of surfactants (sds and brij-35) and the ph of the mobile ...

bacillus thuringiensis (bt) has been extensively used in biopesticidal formulations due to its safe environmental and human health records. the widespread use of bt is often challenged by production as well as formulation costs which are in direct contact with downstream processing, i.e. the separation/purification step. downstream separation/purification efficacy governs the marketability of a...
