Spectrum Sensing Receivers for Cognitive Radio
(2018-02-16)Cognitive radios require spectral occupancy information in a given location, to avoid any interference with the existing licensed users. This is achieved by spectrum sensing. Existing narrowband, serial spectrum sensors ... -
Spectrum Sensing Techniques For Cognitive Radio Applications
(2017-07-25)Cognitive Radio (CR) has received tremendous research attention over the past decade, both in the academia and industry, as it is envisioned as a promising solution to the problem of spectrum scarcity. ACR is a device that ... -
Speech and noise analysis using sparse representation and acoustic-phonetics knowledge
This thesis addresses different aspects of machine listening using two different approaches, namely (1) A supervised and adaptive sparse representation based approach for identifying the type of background noise and the ... -
Speech Encryption Using Wavelet Packets
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-10-07)The aim of speech scrambling algorithms is to transform clear speech into an unintelligible signal so that it is difficult to decrypt it in the absence of the key. Most of the existing speech scrambling algorithms tend ... -
Speech enhancement using deep mixture of experts
Speech enhancement is at the heart of many applications such as speech com- munication, automatic speech recognition, hearing aids etc. In this work, we consider the speech enhancement under the framework of multiple ... -
Speech Signal Classification Using Support Vector Machines
(2011-03-16)Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are, undoubtedly, the most employed core technique for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). Nevertheless, we are still far from achieving high‐performance ASR systems. Some alternative approaches, ... -
Speech task-specific representation learning using acoustic-articulatory data
Human speech production involves modulation of the air stream by the vocal tract shape determined by the articulatory configuration. Articulatory gestures are often used to represent the speech units. It has been shown ... -
Spermatogenomics : Correlating Testicular Gene Expression to Human Male Infertility
(2018-06-13)Spermatogenesis is a complex and coordinated process of formation of sperms from the precursor spermatogonia, occurring inside the unique environment existing in the seminiferous epithelium. This process of development, ... -
Spherical Indentation Response of Bulk and Thin Film Shape Memory Alloys
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have the ability to recover large strains upon undergoing a thermomechanical cycle. In addition to being used as structural elements, they can be patterned as thin films which can be employed in ... -
Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity at Excitatory Synapses on the Rat Subicular Pyramidal Neurons
(2018-05-08)The subiculum is a structure that forms a bridge between the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex (EC) in the brain, and plays a major role in the memory consolidation process. It consists of different types of pyramidal ... -
Spill Code Minimization And Buffer And Code Size Aware Instruction Scheduling Techniques
(2009-05-19)Instruction scheduling and Software pipelining are important compilation techniques which reorder instructions in a program to exploit instruction level parallelism. They are essential for enhancing instruction level ... -
Spin Hall Effect Mediated Current Induced Magnetization Reversal in Perpendicularly Magnetized Pt/Co/Pt Based Systems
(2018-02-08)In the present thesis, magnetization reversal in both out-of-plane and in-plane magnetized thin lms and in devices fabricated out of those lms are explored. Pt/Co/Pt stacks with ultrathin Co layer were in-estimated initially ... -
Spiral- And Scroll- Wave Dynamics In Ironically And Anatomically Realistic Mathematical Models For Mammalian Ventricular Tissue
(2017-05-24)Cardiac arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF), are among the leading causes of death in the industrialized world. There is growing consensus that these arrhythmias are associated ... -
Spiral-Wave Dynamics in Ionically Realistic Mathematical Models for Human Ventricular Tissue
(2018-04-18)There is a growing consensus that life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias like ven- tricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) arise because of the formation of spiral waves of electrical activation in cardiac ... -
Spontaneous Crack Propagation In Functionally Graded Materials
(2009-10-28)Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are composites that have continuously varying material properties, which eliminate undesirable stress concentrations that might otherwise occur in layered composites. The concept of ... -
Spontaneous Light Emission from Molecular Junctions
Abstract: The study of light emission [1] from a molecular junction is recently gaining research interest. This has direct relevance to develop novel optoelectronic devices [2] and to understand light-matter interaction ... -
Spray Interaction with Supersonic Crossflow
The flow residence time in a scramjet combustor is of the order of a millisecond (10−3s). High energy density liquid fuels are the energy carriers of choice in scramjet engines, however liquid fuels must be atomized, ... -
Spray morphology and droplet characteristics in gas centered swirl coaxial (GCSC) atomizers
Studies on liquid atomization and spray formation in coaxial type atomizers are necessary to improve the performance of liquid propellant rocket engines. Recess ratio, expressed as the ratio of orifice recess length to ...
