We studied the power spectrum of the diaphragm electromyogram (EMG) at frequencies between 31 and 246 Hz in four young normal subjects and five patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD). Diaphragm EMGs were analyzed during spontaneous breathing and maximum inspiratory efforts to determine the effect of signal-to-noise ratio on the power spectrum and if treadmill exercise to dyspnea was associated with diaphragm fatigue. We found that the centroid frequencies of the power spectra (fc) were strongly correlated (r = 0.93) with ratios of power at high frequencies to power at low frequencies (H/L) for all subjects. Of the two indices, H/L had the largest standard deviation expressed as a percentage of the mean. The mean values of both of these decreased significantly after exercise, fc from 100.2 to 97.3 and H/L from 1.07 to 0.97. Signal-to-noise ratios were higher in maximal inspiratory efforts and after exercise in normal subjects and higher in COPD patients. The signal-to-noise ratio was correlated negatively with fc and H/L, indicating that these indices of the shape of the power spectrum are influenced by signal strength and noise levels as well as muscle function. We conclude that the fc and H/L index similar qualities of the power spectrum, that they are partially determined by the signal-to-noise ratio, and that, in some cases, exercise to dyspnea is associated with apparently mild diaphragm fatigue.

Photorefractive compound semiconductors are attractive for optical processing because of fast material response, compatibility with semiconductor lasers, and availability of cross polarization diffraction for enhancing signal-to-noise ratio. This paper presents a collection of recent experimental results on optical processing using photorefractive GaAs and InP. The results demonstrate the feasibility of using photorefractive compound semiconductors as dynamic holographic interaction media for optical processing applications.

The primary inspiration of our work is to discovering upgrades in the current Compressed Sensing procedure that utilizations Non Adaptive Projection Matrix rule. Normal Frame Signal-to-Noise Ratio (AFSNR) is intended to evaluate the show of the Frame-Based Adaptive Compressed Sensing with the Non-Adaptive Compressed Sensing (CS). It is a developing sign securing strategy and straight gathers the signs in a compacted shape on the off chance that they are meager on some specific premise. Proposed approach utilizes Adaptive Projection Matrix in light of edge examination which gives fundamentally enhanced discourse recreation quality and decreases the noise levels.

AbstractRecent theoretical studies of the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of photon limited speckle (image plane) interferometry are reviewed. The SNR of an estimate of the object power spectrum is evaluated for both the single and double aperture cases, for arbitrary light levels. The SNR for the auto-correlation function method of analysis is also given for the low light level case and applied to the special case of binary star observations. The SNRs for the power spectrum and autocorrelation function analyses are compared and a comparison is also made between speckle (image plane) and amplitude (pupil or aperture plane) interferometry. Limiting observable magnitudes are estimated for some relevant cases.

AbstractExperimental results from a dataset collected with a full-scale muon tomograph for the inspection of cargo containers were studied in a single scattering scenario with a multiparametric analysis based on the method of the Point Of Closest Approach (Poca). To search for high-Z materials, a 4 $$\hbox {dm}^3$$ dm 3 Pb block was positioned inside the volume to be inspected, in order to quantitatively investigate the appearance of the Poca signal. Signal-to-noise ratio and significance of the Poca signal were investigated by means of mono-dimensional spectra of the Poca components, for different values of the scattering angle between the incoming and outgoing muon tracks and with different angle-dependent weights. A systematic scan of two-dimensional maps was also carried out, as a strategy to search for possible enhancements to the Poca signal. A comparison was also done between the results obtained from the two half-volumes, one containing the Pb block and one left empty, to take into account the response of the detector and some aspects of the Poca strategy.

ABSTRACT We model the 21-cm signal and Lyman-α emitter (LAE) population evolution during the epoch of reionization in order to predict the 21-cm LAE cross-power spectrum. We employ high-dynamic-range simulations of the intergalactic medium to create models that are consistent with constraints from the cosmic microwave background, Lyman-α forest, and LAE population statistics. Using these models we consider the evolution of the cross-power spectrum for a selection of realistic reionization histories and predict the sensitivity of current and upcoming surveys to measuring this signal. We find that the imprint of a delayed end to reionization can be observed by future surveys, and that strong constraints can be placed on the progression of reionization as late as z = 5.7 using a Subaru–SKA survey. We make predictions for the signal-to-noise ratios achievable by combinations of Subaru/PFS (Prime Focus Spectrograph) with the MWA, LOFAR, HERA, and SKA interferometers for an integration time of 1000 h. We find that a Subaru–SKA survey could measure the cross-power spectrum for a late reionization at z = 6.6 with a total signal-to-noise ratio greater than 5, making it possible to constrain both the timing and bubble size at the end of reionization. Furthermore, we find that expanding the current Subaru/PFS survey area and depth by a factor of three would double the total signal-to-noise ratio.

A new reversible watermarking algorithm on stereo audio signals is proposed in this article. By utilizing correlations between two channels of audio signal, the authors segment one channel based on another one according to the smoothness. For each segmented sub-host sequence, they estimate its capacity and the corresponding embedding distortion firstly, and then select the optimal combinations of sub-host sequences for embedding. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm can improve SNR (signal to noise ratio) for various kinds of capacity.
