To extract speech from acoustic interference is a challenging problem. Previous systems based on auditory scene analysis principles deal with voiced speech, but cannot separate unvoiced speech. We propose a novel method to separate stop consonants, which contain significant unvoiced signals, based on their acoustic properties. The method employs onset as the major grouping cue; it first detects...

2014 The 03B3 decay of the first two positive parity states in 45Ti was reexamined using single 03B3-ray, 03B3-03B3 coincidence and n-03B3 coincidence techniques. E1 transition strengths down to 10-7 Weisskopf units were deduced from the experimental data, which is 30 times lower than the weakest E1 transition known in the other nuclei of the mass region 40 A 50. J. Physique 41 (1980) 239-241 M...

Several combinatorial problems of (quasi)crystallography are reviewed with special emphasis on a unified approach, valid for both crystals and quasicrystals. In particular, we consider planar sublattices, similarity sublattices, coincidence sublattices and their module counterparts. The corresponding counting functions are encapsulated in Dirichlet series generating functions, with worked out r...

2. If you found that two sets of chromosomes (one from species "X" and one from species "Y") showed a very close match (in the number of chromosomes and many identical banding patterns), it would be most reasonable to say that... A) one species evolved from the other B) both species evolved from a common ancestor relatively recently C) both species may be distantly related D) their chromosome s...

For those who think the statue and the piece of copper that compose it are distinct objects that coincide, there is a burden of explanation. After all, common sense says that different ordinary objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time. A common argument in favor of fourdimensionalism (or ‘perdurantism’ or ‘temporal parts theory’) is that it provides the resources for a superior exp...

Given two maps f1, f2 : M −→ N between manifolds of the indicated arbitrary dimensions, when can they be deformed away from one another? More generally: what is the minimum number MCC(f1, f2) of pathcomponents of the coincidence space of maps f ′ 1 , f ′ 2 where f ′ i is homotopic to fi, i = 1, 2 ? Approaching this question via normal bordism theory we define a lower bound N(f1, f2) which gener...

 In this paper, we prove some coupled coincidence point theorems for mappings satisfying generalized contractive conditions under a new invariant set in ordered cone metric spaces. In fact, we obtain sufficient conditions for existence of coupled coincidence points in the setting of cone metric spaces. Some examples are provided to verify the effectiveness and applicability of our results.

The purpose of this paper is to present some coincidence point and common  fixed point theorems for multivalued contraction maps in complete fuzzy  metric spaces endowed with a partial order. As an application, we give  an existence theorem of solution for general classes of integral  inclusions by the coincidence point theorem.
