Several binaural audio signal enhancement algorithms were evaluated with respect to their potential to improve speech intelligibility in noise for users of bilateral cochlear implants (CIs).50% speech reception thresholds (SRT 50 ) were assessed using an adaptive procedure in three distinct, realistic noise scenarios.All scenarios were highly nonst
The quantum approximate optimization algorithm Dressings / Seasonings (QAOA) is widely seen as a possible usage of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices.We analyze the algorithm as a bang-bang protocol with fixed total time and a randomized greedy optimization scheme.We investigate the performance of bang-bang QAOA on MAX-2-SAT, finding t
Abstract Two approaches are presented to improve the capabilities of machine learning models in multiscale modeling for microstructure homogenization (graphical abstract in Fig.1).The first approach features a Bayesian data mining scheme with a human in the loop, halving the prediction error Side Step Bar compared to [1] using four novel and effici
Members of the genus Defluviicoccus occur often at high abundances in activated sludge wastewater treatment plants designed to remove phosphorus, where biomass is subjected to alternating anaerobic feed/aerobic famine conditions, believed to favor the proliferation of organisms like Ca.Accumulibacter and other phosphate-accumulating organisms (PAO)
Dodol is a type of food made from coconut milk, sticky rice flour, and sugar.Its main characteristic is stickiness, which becomes a difficulty during the stirring and packaging process.The need for mechanization results in the instability of production capacity.For 25 years, the core problem solving is a stainless steel material mixer with a pitch
