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 · 7,734 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Impact Assessment of Quarrying Plants: An IRF Kriging Solution to Noise and Airborne Dust MonitoringDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Mario PinzariA geostatistical approach is tested for the assessment of the environmental impact generated by industrial plants on the surrounding areas. To this end, a case study of a tuff quarry in the Italian region of Lazio is presented. The method utilised is Intrinsic Kriging with external drift which allows spatial maps of different hazardous agents like noise and airborne dust … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2019 · 7,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Rotation Effect on Shear Horizontal Surface Wave in a Piezoelectric Semi-Space Covered by a Semiconductor FilmFatimah AlshaikhIn this study, a mathematical model of the rotation effect on Shear Horizontally wave (SH-wave) propagation in a piezoelectric semi-space covered by a semiconductor film is investigated. The semiconducting layer is rotating with a constant angular velocity and the interface between the piezoelectric substrate and the semiconductor layer is imperfectly bonded. Furthermore, the surfaces of the bilayer system assumed free … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2017 · 7,214 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSubsidence Inferred from a Time Lapse Reservoir Study in a Niger Delta Field, NigeriaChukwuemeka Ngozi Ehirim, Tamunonengiyeofori DagogoProduction-induced subsidence due to compressibility and fluid property changes in a Niger delta field has been investigated using well log and 4D seismic data sets. The objective of the study is to evaluate changes in time lapse seismic attributes due to hydrocarbon production and infer to probable ground subsidence. Petrophysical modeling and analysis of well data revealed that Density (ρ), … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 25 Oct 2016 · 8,222 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Stochastic and Deterministic Methods for Mapping Environmental Noise from Opencast QuarriesDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Mario PinzariAn accurate mapping of the acoustic spatial variability generated by quarrying plants constitutes an important step in the assessment of the environmental compatibility of the extraction site with the surrounding area. This paper refers to the results of a study comparing performances obtained by stochastic and deterministic methods to determine the acoustic climate of the areas surrounding opencast quarries. To … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 28 Mar 2016 · 7,398 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the General Solution of First-Kind Hypersingular Integral EquationsSuzan J. Obaiys, Z. Abbas, N. M.A. Nik Long et al.A new algorithm is presented to provide a general solution for a first type Hyper singular Integral Equation (HSIE). The singular integral has been converted into a regular form by cancelling the singularity and then transforming it into a system of algebraic equation based orthogonal poly- nomials. We applied the convergence method presented by (Obaiys, 2013) to conform the numerical … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 28 Jan 2016 · 8,703 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSegmentation Methods of Echocardiography Images for Left Ventricle Boundary DetectionSamaneh Mazaheri, Rahmita Wirza, Puteri Suhaiza Sulaiman et al.Due to acoustic interferences and artifacts which are inherent in echocardiography images, automatic segmentation of anatomical structures in cardiac ultrasound images is a real challenge. This paper surveys state-of-the-art researches on echocardiography data segmentation methods, concentrating on methods techniques developed for clinical data. We present a classification of methodologies for echocardiography image segmentation. By choosing ten recent papers which have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 6 Dec 2015 · 7,062 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInsulating Properties of Low Density Polyethylene/Alumina NanocompositesSi-Jiao Wang, Jun-Wei Zha, Yun-Hui Wu et al.High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cable has become an important factor in the development of HVDC transmission. However, there are still difficulties such as space charge distribution in the development of HVDC cables. In this study, Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) nanocomposites filled with nano alumina (nano-Al2O3) particles with or without modification were prepared by employing melting blend method. The results show … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 4 Jul 2015 · 7,940 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioanalytical Method Validation and Quantification of Flupirtine in Canine Plasma by HPLC with Spectrofluorimetric DetectionVirginia De Vito, Alessandro Saba, Helen Owen, Mario GiorgiFlupirtine (FLU) is a non-opioid analgesic drug belongs to the class of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) antagonist without antipyretic or antiphlogistic properties. No analytical method to detect FLU in canine plasma samples through a fluorimetric detector has been published to date. The analytical method described in this work provides a selective and accurate quantification of FLU. The mobile phase consisted of ACN:AcONH4 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2015 · 7,986 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Combined Fenofibrate and Nicotinamide on Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Cytokines Involved in Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in RatsOmaima M. Abd Allah, Abeer A.I. Sharaf El-Din, Fouad El DebakeyCisplatin (Cis) is an anticancer drug, which is accompanied with major side effects including nephrotoxicity. The current study was performed to assess the possible prophylactic effects of fenofibrate (FEN), Nicotinamide (NAM) and their combination on oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines associated with cisplatin-induced renal damage. Rats were randomly divided into seven groups (8 each) as follows; control group; FEN group … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Jan 2015 · 7,131 accessesView PDFCite
