the speech enhancement techniques are often employed to improve the quality and intelligibility of the noisy speech signals. this paper discusses a novel technique for speech enhancement which is based on singular value decomposition. this implementation utilizes a genetic algorithm based optimization method for reducing the effects of environmental noises from the singular vectors as well as t...

All organizations have structure. Researchers emphasized the importance of the organizational structure to achieve the goals and mission of an organization. Thus Performance assessment of organizing is essential for managers and decision makers to find weaknesses and eliminate them. Organizations are designed by different methods and process, based on same principles and theories. In this study...

Abstract Background: Photocatalytic process is used as a suitable method for o-chlorophenol removal. In this study, the efficiency of a mixture of modified fly ash and TiO2 nanoparticles in photocatalytic removal of o-chlorophenol was evaluated. Methods: After acid washing of fly ash, the absorbent was oxidized with potassium permanganate. ...

In this paper, an efficient and unconditionally stable rectangular domain decomposition algorithm is proposed. The order of accuracy of the prediction scheme of the new algorithm is second. Numerical experiments support efficiency, accuracy, and unconditional stability of the method.

In this study, an ultrasound-aided hydrothermal-impregnation method was used to synthesize three-dimensional (3D) urchin-like CdS-TiO2 nanostructures (UCTs) with variable CdS content. The photocatalytic efficiencies (for degrading limonene and toluene vapor) of UCTs synthesized using the ultrasound-aided process were greater than those of UCTs fabricated without ultrasound treatment. In additio...

Suppose that A ∈ RN×N is symmetric positive semidefinite with rank K ≤ N . Our goal is to decompose A into K rank-one matrices ∑K k=1 gkg T k where the modes {gk} K k=1 are required to be as sparse as possible. In contrast to eigen decomposition, these sparse modes are not required to be orthogonal. Such a problem arises in random field parametrization where A is the covariance function and is ...

In this paper, we apply modified decomposition method (MDM) to solve systems of partial differential equations. Several examples are given to verify the reliability and efficiency of the method. Numerical results clearly reveal the complete reliability of the proposed algorithm.

We propose an alternative solution to the problems solved in [1]. Our aim is to advocate the efficiency of algebraic methods for the solution of the Boolean equations which occur in the decomposition of Boolean functions.

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric approach for performance analysis of decision making units (DMUs) which uses a set of inputs to produce a set of outputs without the need to consider internal operations of each unit. In recent years, there have been various studies dealt with two-stage production systems, i.e. systems which consume some inputs in their first stage to produce ...
