Low-intensity magnetic separators are widely used in the research works and the industry. Advancement in the magnetic separation techniques has led to an expansion in the application of this method in different fields such as enrichment of magnetic mineral, wastewater treatment, and medicine transfer in the human body. In the mineral processing industry, the main application of wet magnetic sep...

Drum–Buffer–Rope is a theory of constraints production planning methodology that operates by developing a schedule for the system’s first bottleneck. The first bottleneck is the bottleneck with the highest utilization. In the theory of constraints, any job that is not processed at the first bottleneck is referred to as a free good. Free goods do not use capacity at the first bottleneck, so very...

Drum Boilers are an important component of many modern industrial facilities. Generally, the simulation of tailormade Drum Boilers starts up at each steady-state condition inside each operation region. The problem of such systems is the control of parameters, as level and pressure, around a reference value. The design of control algorithms can be accomplished using intelligent techniques such a...

This thesis investigates issues surrounding the design and implementation of a digital drum tutor. People have been developing digital tutors in all fields of study in an attempt to replace or complement human instructors. This drum tutor aims to replace a human instructor in some cases, but mostly to guide a student’s practice sessions, which is where the most improvement occurs. While using t...

This paper describes drum sound identification for polyphonic musical audio signals. It is difficult to identify drum sounds in such signals because acoustic features of those sounds vary with each musical piece and precise templates for them cannot be prepared in advance. To solve this problem, we propose new template-adaptation and templatematching methods. The former method adapts a single s...

One of the main bottlenecks in the progress of the Music Information Retrieval (MIR) research field is the limited access to common, large and annotated audio databases that could serve for technology development and/or evaluation. The aim of this paper is to present in detail the ENST-Drums database, emphasizing on both the content and the recording process. This audiovisual database of drum p...

Design issues in developing an interactive performance system are discussed. The development of Drum-Boy, an interactive percussion system for non-experts, is documented, along with discussions of features that make such a real-time creative environment effective. Concrete examples of problems encountered during the design and development phase of Drum-Boy are investigated. Specific issues incl...

since threshing is one of the most sensitive rice post-harvest processing operations, this study was conducted to evaluate the threshing performance in axial - flow paddy thresher. independent variables consisted of: drum speed at five levels (550, 650, 750 and 850 rpm), equivalent to peripheral velocities of: 14.67, 17.35, 20.01 and 22.37 m/s, respectively, paddy moisture content at two levels...
