In this paper, we designed and implemented an internal multi-band folded monopole antenna for mobile handset. The proposed antenna covers Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM900: 880~960 MHz), Digital Communications System (DCS: 1710~1880 MHz), USPersonal Communications Service (US-PCS: 1850~1990 MHz), Bluetooth(2400~2484 MHz), WiMAX(3400~3600 MHz), and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN...

Automatic detection of real life negative emotions in speech has been evaluated using Linear Discriminant Analysis, LDA, with “classic” emotion features and a classifier based on Gaussian Mixture Models, GMMs. The latter uses Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients, MFCCs, from a filter bank covering the 300-3400 Hz region to capture spectral shape and formants, and another in the 20-600 Hz region ...

This work presents a method of objective quality assessment of telephony band codecs (300 – 3400 Hz) that assembles the main characteristics of the methods found in the literature, named “Medida Objetiva de Qualidade de Voz” (MOQV). An analysis of its performance is presented, based on a set of experiments available in a database of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Such performa...

A pseudo course is a course that has a unique name, different from the standard course definition. Courses at The University of Akron are defined numerically, with the dept. number for the first 4 digits, and the actual course number with the last 3 characters. Example: 3300:111------3300 designates the English Dept., and 111 defines the exact course, in this case English Composition I. History...

The Rio Bogotá (Bogota River) descends 370 km through the plain of Bogotá from an altitude of 3400 m above sea level in Villapinzón before it discharges into the Magdalena River at 280 m above sea level (Bravo et al., 1999). The upper river is relatively small and shallow with a limited gradient until, halfway along its route; it passes Bogotá, not only Colombia’s Capital City but also an impor...

Abstract GaN two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal nanocavities with a single embedded InGaN quantum well are undercut by photo-electrochemical (PEC) etching and optically characterized to investigate the fundamental mode. The PEC selectively removes an InGaN-based sacrificial layer form air-suspended cavity slabs. We investigated resonant modes of micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy measureme...

The Visible Integral-field Replicable Unit Spectrograph Prototype (VIRUS-P) has been in operation on the Harlan J Smith 2.7m Telescope at McDonald Observatory since October of 2006. The prototype was created to test the design and science capabilities of the full VIRUS instrument, wherein 150 copies of the spectrograph will be installed on the Hobby Eberly Telescope (HET). We here discuss the s...

Generalized Quasilinearization Method for Coincidences Adriana Buică and Radu Precup Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Babeş-Bolyai University 3400 Cluj, Romania [email protected], [email protected] Abstract An abstract unified theory of both monotone iterative and generalized quasilinearization methods is presented for operator equations of coincidence type in ordered Ban...
