Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeech Enhancement Based on Adaptive Noise Cancellation and Particle Swarm OptimizationTayseer M.F. Taha, Summrina Kanwal Wajid, Amir HussainSpeech enhancement is used in almost all modern communication systems. This is due to the quality of speech being degraded by environmental interference factors, such as: Acoustic additive noise, acoustic reverberation or white Gaussian noise. This paper, explores the potential of different benchmark optimization techniques for enhancing the speech signal. This is accomplished by fine tuning filter coefficients using a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 5 · 28 May 2019 · 7,729 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractFreeze Drying of Grape Raw Materials in Red WinemakingGennadiy Vyacheslavovich Semenov, Gennadiy Ivanovich Kasyanov, Ivan Ivanovich Petkov, Irina Stanislavovna KrasnovaThe aim of this research was the development of technology, which is based on the winemaking from freeze dried grape raw materials. Results of research on the drying of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were shown. The regimes of preparation of grape raw materials and its subsequent freeze-drying are offered, providing the possibility of successful use in the dried state in the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 3 Aug 2017 · 7,410 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Steam Conditioning and Extrusion Temperature on Some Anti-nutritional Factors of Soyabean (Glycine max) for Pet Food ApplicationsB. Purushotham, P.M. Radhakrishna, B.S. SherigaraExtrusion processing of vegetable ingredients such as soyabean (Glycine max) characteristically depends on associating process conditions that influence the product qualities. The process parameters were optimized for extrusion of steam-conditioned material in order to obtain the maximum nutritive value by inactivating the anti-nutritional factors such as urease, trypsin inhibitors and lipase. The processing conditions such as moisture content, temperature and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jul 2007 · 9,021 accessesView PDFCite
