Speech enhancement is a classical problem in signal processing, yet still largely unsolved. Two of the conventional approaches for solving this problem are linear filtering, like the classical Wiener filter, and subspace methods.  Meer

This book presents a comparative study on the static responses of the Euler-Bernoulli beam governed by nonlocal theories, including the Eringen’s stress-gradient beam theory, the Mindlin’s strain-gradient beam theory, the higher-order beam theory and the peridynamic beam theory.  Meer

This book explains the motivation for using microphone arrays as opposed to using a single sensor for sound acquisition. The book then goes on to summarize the most useful ideas, concepts, results, and new algorithms therein.  Meer

Noise is everywhere and in most applications that are related to audio and speech, such as human-machine interfaces, hands-free communications, voice over IP (VoIP), hearing aids, teleconferencing/telepresence/telecollaboration systems, and so many others, the signal of interest (usually speech) that is picked up by a microphone is generally contaminated by noise.  Meer

Chinas Aufstieg zu einer Großmacht spaltet die Welt in staunende Bewunderer, die sich fragen, wie dieser Erfolg in einem zentralistischen und autoritären System möglich ist, wofür es doch der Innovationskraft und des bürgerschaftlichen Engagements aller bedürfe und kritische Skeptiker, die argwöhnen, dass die vermeintlichen Erfolge allenfalls durch gravierende Defizite auf anderen Gebieten erkauft sein können.  Meer
