Flame Atomic Absorption

Theoretical equations and experimental evaluation procedures for the determination of the precision of flame atomic absorption, emission, and fluorescence measurements are presented. These procedures and noise power spectra are used to evaluate the precision and noise characteristics of atomic copper measurements with all three techniques under the same experimental conditions in an H2-air flame. At the detection limit, emission and fluorescence measurements are limited by background emission shot and flicker noise whereas absorption measurements are limited by flame transmission lamp flicker noise. Analyte flicker noise limits precision at higher analyte concentrations for all three techniques. Fluctutations in self-absorption and the inner filter effect are shown to contribute to the noise in atomic emission and fluorescence measurements.

Mask Estimation

In computational auditory scene analysis, the accurate estimation of binary mask or ratio mask plays a key role in noise masking. An inaccurate estimation often leads to some artifacts and temporal discontinuity in the synthesized speech. To overcome this problem, we propose a new ratio mask estimation method in terms of Wiener filtering in each Gammatone channel. In the reconstruction of Wiener filter, we utilize the relationship of the speech and noise power spectra in each Gammatone channel to build the objective function for the convex optimization of speech power. To improve the accuracy of estimation, the estimated ratio mask is further modified based on its adjacent time–frequency units, and then smoothed by interpolating with the estimated binary masks. The objective tests including the signal-to-noise ratio improvement, spectral distortion and intelligibility, and subjective listening test demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method compared with the reference methods.

ABSTRACTThermopower, conductivity and 1/f noise measurements have been performed on a series of n-type doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbon films that are prepared with varying gas phase concentrations of CH4. The increased disorder at the mobility edge associated with alloying is characterized by the Q-function, which is obtained by combining thermopower and conductivity measurements, and is also reflected in the noise power spectra and noise statistics.

Frequency of noise can affect human beings in different ways. The sound of firecrackers is a type of intensive impulsive noise, which is hazardous. In this paper, the noise produced by firecrackers during celebration festivals in Aurangabad (M.S.), India is measured. The noise is analyzed from the study of power spectra for different types of firecrackers. Noise measurements of firecrackers show that they produce high sound pressure peak levels at their characteristics frequencies. Plots of noise power versus frequency for different crackers are presented and the inferences are discussed. Typical firecracker peak noise levels are given.

Nanopore Sensors

The solid-state nanopore sensor offers a versatile platform for the rapid, label-free electrical detection and analysis of single molecules, especially on DNA sequencing. However, the overall signal-to-noise ratio (SNA) is a major challenge in sequencing applications. In our work, two different fluid systems made by metal and plexiglass have been designed to improve the signal to noise ratio of the solid-state nanopore sensor. From the measurements on the noise power spectra with a variety of conditions, it is found that plexiglass fluid system coupled with shielding box produces a good quality of electric signals on nanopore sensors.
