the excessive biological sludge production is one of the disadvantages of aerobic process such as sbr. so the problem of excess sludge production along with its treatment , and disposal in aerobic processes in municipal and industrial waste water can be seen in many parts of the world even in our country . to solve the problem of excess sludge production , reducing in by oxidizing some of the s...

In this paper, a new technique is presented for the design and optimization of digital FIR filters with coefficients that are presented in canonic signed-digit (CSD) format. Since such implementation requires no multipliers, it reduces the hardware cost and lowers the power consumption. The proposed technique considers three goals, the optimum number of coefficients, the optimum wordlength, and...

Coring is a well-known technique for removing noise from images. The mechanism of coring consists of transforming a noise-degraded image into a frequency-domain representation, followed by a reduction of the image transform coefficients by a (nonlinear) coring function. After inverse transforming the cored coefficients, the noise-reduced image is obtained. In this paper, we show that coring can...

The accuracy of a new method for measuring ultrasonic backscatter coefficients was tested, using narrow-band pulses and well-defined media having scatterers randomly distributed in space. Experimentally determined values agree very well with theoretical values for wide ranges of experimental parameters, these ranges being applicable in measurements made on human soft tissues. An important outco...
