This paper presents a noise reduction method for speech communication where the input signal is divided into a number of subbands that are individually weighted in time domain according to the short time Signal-to-Noise Ratio estimate (SNR) in each subband at every time instant. Instead of focusing on suppression the noise, the method is focusing on speech enhancement. The method has proven to ...

We have implemented and evaluated a coarse-grained distributive method for finite-difference Poisson-Boltzmann (FDPB) calculations of large biomolecular systems. This method is based on the electrostatic focusing principle of decomposing a large fine-grid FDPB calculation into multiple independent FDPB calculations, each of which focuses on only a small and a specific portion (block) of the lar...

microfluidic flow focusing devices have been utilized for droplet generation on account of its superior control over droplet size. droplet based microfluidics addressed many scientific issues by providing a novel technological platform for applications such as biology, pharmaceutical industry, biomedical studies and drug delivery. this study numerically investigated the droplet generation proce...

The focusing resolution is very important performance for ultra wideband (UWB) imaging system. In this paper, the accuracy of focusing resolution with time-reversal (TR) electromagnetic (EM) pulse propagation is analyzed. The TR EM pulse propagation is done via the numerical simulation of finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The modulated Gaussian pulse is used as the UWB EM pulse. The ...

Sheathless particle focusing which utilises the secondary flow with a high throughput has great potential for use in microfluidic applications. In this work, an innovative particle focusing method was proposed. This method makes use of a mechanism that takes advantage of secondary flow and inertial migration. The device was a straight channel with arrays of arc-shaped grooves on the top surface...

say, the center frequency of the spectrum of the signals, and transform the subspace at each frequency bin into the subspace created by the span of the location vectors at the focusing frequency. Then, they use a high-resolmion algorithm such as MUSIC [SI to estimate the DOA's of the sources. They show that focusing reduces the resolution threshold signal-to-noise ratio (SMZ), which is defined ...
