We study existence and uniqueness of a mild solution in the space of continuous functions and existence of an invariant measure for a class of reaction-diffusion systems on bounded domains of R , perturbed by a multiplicative noise. The reaction term is assumed to have polynomial growth and to be locally Lipschitz-continuous and monotone. The noise is white in space and time if d = 1 and colour...

In this paper, we present an extension of a novel continuous residual-based vocoder for statistical parametric speech synthesis. Previous work has shown the advantages of adding envelope modulated noise to the voiced excitation, but this has not been investigated yet in the context of continuous vocoders, i.e. of which all parameters are continuous. The noise component is often not accurately m...

AIMS European standards specify that pacemakers (PM) should be resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI) up to an upper borderline voltage as a function of frequency. Electromagnetic interference fields should either remain below this upper borderline voltage level or be identified and isolated from the general population. Physicians caring for PM patients need to be aware of potential pr...

The European Regulation 2003/10/EC, voted by the European Parliament in 2003, is implemented in most of the countries of the European Community since 2006. This regulation defines different actions to be taken by the employer when the employees are submitted to continuous or impulse noise which exceeds the lower or upper exposure action value. It also defines maximum exposure levels to which em...

We report the first detection with INTEGRAL of persistent hard X–ray emission (20 to 100 keV) from the Rapid Burster (MXB 1730–335), and describe its full spectrum from 3 to 100 keV. The source was detected on February/March 2003 during one of its recurrent outbursts. The source was clearly detected with a high signal to noise ratio during the single pointings and is well distinguished from the...

a generalization of the known results in fusion frames and $g$-frames theory to continuous fusion frames which defined by m. h. faroughi and r. ahmadi, is presented in this study. continuous resolution of the identity (cri) is introduced, a new family of cri is constructed, and a number of reconstruction formulas are obtained. also, new results are given on the duality of continuous fusion fram...

Discrete-event simulation based optimization is the process of finding the optimum design of a stochastic system when the performance measure(s) could only be estimated via simulation. Randomness in simulation outputs often challenges the correct selection of the optimum. We propose an algorithm that merges Ranking and Selection procedures with a large class of random search methods for continu...

Light-rail systems are becoming more popular in cities and urban residential areas around the country. One of the main environmental impacts from light-rail systems is noise from the trains as they pass through residential areas. In response to increasing noise complaints, it is becoming more common to perform noise measurements in the residential areas and attempt to identify noise mitigation ...

Noise in an underground coal mine has dominant components generated mainly from 3 sources: (a) continuous mining machines, (b) roof bolters, and (c) cars/vehicles used to transport personnel and/or coal. Each of these 3 noise sources also has a number of well-defined sub-sources with their own noise characteristics. Sound level meters were used to collect noise data in the form of instantaneous...

Existing experimental implementations of continuous-variable quantum key distribution require shot-noise limited operation, achieved with shot-noise limited lasers. However, loosening this requirement on the laser source would allow for cheaper, potentially integrated systems. Here, we implement a theoretically proposed prepare-and-measure continuous-variable protocol and experimentally demonst...
