This paper presents a method to attain very low bit-rate compression of speech spectral envelope. It is based on fixed-length segment coding. The method utilizes Temporal Decomposition (TD) technique for the compact representation of segments of Line Spectrum Frequencies (LSF) vector followed by split matrix quantization. The TD technique is modified to fit fixed-length segment coding. Computat...

the effect of organic loading rate (olr) provided by hydraulic retention time (hrt) and influent chemical oxygen demand (codin) on the performance of an up-flow anaerobic sludge fixed film (uasff) bioreactor treating palm oil mill effluent (pome) was studied. anaerobic digestion of pome was modeled and analyzed with two variables i.e. hrt and codin. experiments were conducted based on a general...

Redundancy is de ned as the excess of the code length over the optimal (ideal) code length. We study the average redundancy of an idealized arithmetic coding (for memoryless sources with unknown distributions) in which the Krichevsky and Tro mov estimator is followed by the Shannon{Fano code. We shall ignore here important practical implementation issues such as nite precisions and nite bu er s...

Effects of three selected variables viz. biomass concentration, initial chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration and initial bicarbonate alkalinity (BA) on biological hydrogen production from palm oil mill effluent (POME) using the granulated sludge in batch culture were investigated. The experimental results were analyzed and modeled using a central composite design (CCD) of response surface...

Anaerobic digestion (AD), the oldest technology used for treating waste, converts organic matter into biogas in absence of oxygen. The current efforts focuses on improving a local industrial wastewater to produce and treat water reuse. A lab-scale up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor operated at 37 °C was employed biodegradation wastewater. one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) approach study ...

a bench scale aerobic sequencing batch reactor (sbr) was evaluated in terms of its potential to treat synthetic dairy wastewater. the 2-l plexiglass bioreactor was supplied with oxygen via a fine bubble air diffuser, fed with synthetic dairy wastewater under various operational conditions. to analyze the process, three significant independent variables — influent chemical oxygen demand (cod), m...

BACKGROUND Diagnostic coding has several potential benefits, including improving the feasibility of data collection for research and clinical audits and providing a common language to improve interdisciplinary collaboration. The primary aim of this study was to determine the views and perspectives of chiropractors about diagnostic coding and explore the use of it in a chiropractic setting. A se...
