background and aim : the hearing loss and acoustic feedback signal in the binaural hearing aids may annoy users, make speech reorganization difficult, and affect the sound quality. this paper presents a new method for acoustic feedback suppression in binaural hearing aids, based on the combination of binaural information and blind source separation. this method can enhance sound from the specif...

introduction: it has been reported that cardiovascular effects are among the possible health effects of being exposed to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (elf emss). material and methods: this study has been conducted to evaluate the long term effects of exposure to magnetic and electric fields on electrocardiogram signal changes. nine power transmission posts having different vol...

Analog-to-digital (A/D) converters are the common interface between analog signals and the domain of digital discrete-time signal processing. In essence, this domain simultaneously incorporates quantization both in amplitude and time, i.e. amplitude quantization and uniform time sampling. Thus, we view A/D conversion as a sampling process in both the time and amplitude domains based on the obse...

The effect of measurement errors on adaptive and non-adaptive control charts has been occasionally considered by researchers throughout the years. However, that effect on the variable sample size and sampling interval (VSSI) control charts has not so far been investigated. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of measurement errors on the VSSI control charts. After a model development, the effe...

high‑intensity focused ultrasound (hifu) is a novel treatment modality used by scientists and clinicians in the recent decades. this modality has had a great and significant success as a noninvasive surgery technique applicable in tissue ablation therapy and cancer treatment. in this study, radio frequency (rf) ultrasound signals were acquired and registered in three stages of before, during, a...

Logic programs are known to be amenable to parallelization. Our work is an attempt to quantify the magnitude of speed-up one can expect from parallel execution of a logic program. To make average case analysis tractable we look separately at two aspects of logic program execution: the \subgoaling" aspect, which involves trying to prove a goal by using matching to reduce it to other goals and na...
