We apply methods from extreme value theory to identify extreme events in high (termed EHOs) and low (termed ELOs) total ozone and to describe the distribution tails (i.e. very high and very low values) of five long-term European ground-based total ozone ti ...
The ability of human auditory systems to focus on one signal and ignore other signals in an auditory scene where several auditory events are taking place, often referred to as cocktail-party effect, is a key to localization of sound sources. This ability i ...
We address the problem of keyword spotting in continuous speech streams when training and testing conditions can be different. We propose a keyword spotting algorithm based on sparse representation of speech signals in a time-frequency feature space. The t ...
We present the characterization of a parametric RF channelized receiver with 1GHz resolution. Instantaneous analysis is demonstrated and operating margins are studied from simultaneous monitoring of five sub-channels using real-time oscilloscope. ...
In the absence of a full analytical treatment of nonlinear structure formation in the universe, numerical simulations provide the critical link between the properties of the underlying model and the features of the observed structures. Currently N-body sim ...
The authors present photon echo peak shift and femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion studies of nonpolar solvation dynamics of a simple nonpolar dye p-terphenyl in EtOH and cyclohexane, using excitation in the UV range at 290 nm. The UV fluorescence up-co ...
The paper presents a method to identify defects from fringe patterns. In the proposed method, the phase derivatives are computed from a fringe pattern using the two-dimensional Pseudo-Wigner–Ville distribution. Since the phase derivative varies rapidly in ...
This paper presents a pseudo Wigner–Ville-distribution-based method in fringe projection for analyzing temporal behavior of the displacement derivative for a continuously deformed object. In the proposed method, a computer generated fringe pattern is proje ...
In this study ideas from extreme value theory are for the first time applied in the field of stratospheric ozone research, because statistical analysis showed that previously used concepts assuming a Gaussian distribution (e.g. fixed deviations from mean v ...
It is well-known that the Gaussian functions and, more generally, their modulations-translations (the Gabor functions) have the unique property of being optimally localized in space and frequency in the sense of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. In this ...
