H παρούσα διατριβή εξετάζει το πρόβλημα της διαρροής μικροφώνου, δηλαδή την αλληλεπίδραση και παρεμβολή μεταξύ ταυτόχρονα ενεργών ηχητικών πηγών σε πολυκαναλικές ηχητικές διατάξεις. Παρ' όλο που είναι ένα πολύ συχνό φαινόμενο με το οποίο οι μηχανικοί ήχου έρχονται αντιμέτωποι καθημερινά, δεν έχουν προταθεί μέθοδοι επεξεργασίας σήματος για την επίλυση του προβλήματος. Εδώ, το πρόβλημα διατυπώνεται για πρώτη φορά στο πλαίσιο της επεξεργασίας σήματος. Αρχικά, διατυπώνεται στο πλαίσιο του τυφλού διαχωρισμού πηγών (blind source separation) και αναλύονται οι περιορισμοί αυτής της προσέγγισης. Στην συνέχεια, το πρόβλημα επαναδιατυπώνεται σαν πρόβλημα σήματος υπό θόρυβο στα πλαίσια της καταστολής θορύβου. Ένα πρωτότυπο γενικευμένο πλαίσιο καταστολής διαρροής μικροφώνου εξάγεται βασιζόμενο σε ένα φίλτρο Wiener με πολυκαναλικό όρο θορύβο, καθώς και την ευρέως χρησιμοποιούμενη τεχνική «κοντινού μικροφώνου». Το ακουστικό σύστημα που μοντελοποιεί την διαδικασία μίξης και αλληλεπίδρασης των πηγών αναλύεται και γίνεται διαχωρισμός των σχετικών κρουστικών αποκρίσεων χώρου (room impulse responses) σε απ' ευθείας ακουστικά μονοπάτια και ακουστικά μονοπάτια διαρροής. Οι ιδιότητες του απ' ευθείας ακουστικού μονο- πατιού, δηλαδή της απόκρισης «κοντινού μικροφώνου» αναλύονται για πρώτη φορά από την προσέγγιση της επεξεργασίας σήματος και της ακουστικής κλειστών χώρων για πρώτη φορά. Οι ιδιότητες του ακουστικού μονοπατιού διαρροής αναλύονται επίσης για πρώτη φορά με την χρήση ακουστικών παραμέτρων. Έχοντας καθορίσει τις βασικές ιδιότητες του ακουστικού συστήματος, μια μέθοδος για την καταστολή διαρροής μικροφώνου αναπτύσσεται για μια διάταξη δύο καναλιών, βασισμένη σε ένα φίλτρο Wiener και μια άμεση εκτίμηση των σχετικών πυκνοτήτων φασματικής ενέργεiας (power spectral density). Η απόδοση της μεθόδου για ηχογραφήσεις σε πραγματικούς χώρους είναι πολύ ικανοποιητική και με βάση αυτά τα αποτελέσματα, η μέθοδος επεκτείνεται για περισσότερες από δύο πηγές και μικρόφωνα σε αυθαίρετες διατάξεις. Η ολοκληρωμένη μέθοδος είναι τυφλή και αυτόματη, καθώς δεν απαιτεί την επέμβαση του χρήση. Δεν κάνει χρήση πρότερης γνώσης ούτε απαιτεί εκπαίδευση και είναι υπολογιστικά απλή. Προτείνεται επίσης μια πρωτότυπη μέθοδος ανίχνευσης χρονικών διαστημάτων όπου μόνο μια πηγή είναι ενεργή (χρονικά διαστήματα «σόλο»), η οποία επιτρέπει την εκτίμηση συντελεστών στάθμισης οι οποίοι αντιστοιχούν στην σχετική μείωση της ηχητικής στάθμης που υφίσταται κάθε ηχητική πηγή καθώς το σήμα διαδίδεται προς τα μικρόφωνα. Αυτή η μέθοδος σε συνδυασμό με μια νεά, πρωτότυπη τεχνική εκτίμησης των πυκνοτήτων φασματικής ενέργεαις, η οποία βασίζεται στην αναγνώριση των κυρίαρχων διακριτών συχνοτήτων, επιτρέπει την εκτίμηση όλων των σχετικών ποσοτήτων σε μια πολυκαναλική ηχητική διάταξη. Από αυτές υπολογίζεται ένα πολυκαναλικό φίλτρο Wiener για κάθε σήμα μικροφώνου, το οποίο δίνει την εκτίμηση του αντίστοιχου σήματος πηγής. / This thesis examines the problem of microphone leakage, that is the interference between simultaneously active sound sources in multichannel audio applications. Despite being a common problem with which sound engineers are confronted every day, almost no signal processing methods have been proposed to address this issue. In this work, the problem is formulated for the first time in a signal processing framework. First, it formulated inside the blind source separation (BSS) context and the limitations of related methods are analysed and reported. Since, BSS methods seem to be inappropriate for this specific problem, it is reformulated as a signal in noise problem inside the well-known noise suppression framework. Based on the widely adopted close-microphone technique a novel, generalized framework for leakage suppression is derived based on a multichannel Wiener filter. The acoustic system that models the mixing process is analysed and the related room impulse responses are discerned in direct and leakage acoustic paths. The properties of the direct acoustic path, that is the close-microphone response are investigated for the first time, from a signal processing point of view as well as a room acoustics perspective. The properties of the leakage acoustic path are also analysed for the first time using room acoustic parameters. After key properties of the acoustic paths have been identified, a method for the suppression of microphone leakage in a two channel audio setup is developed based on aWiener filter and a crude approximation of the related power spectral densities (PSDs). The performance of this method for actual recordings in real reverberant environments is more than adequate and based on these results, the method is extended for more than two sources and microphones in arbitrary arrangements. The complete method is blind and automatic, since it does not require any user input. It does not assume any prior knowledge or require training and is computationally efficient. A novel solo detection method has been developed that allows the estimation of weighting coefficients that correspond to the relative attenuation experienced by sound sources as they travel to each microphone. Combined with a new and advanced PSD estimation method based on the identification of dominant frequency bins, the related PSDs in a multichannel audio application can be identified. From these an appropriate multichannel Wiener filter for each microphone signal can be calculated, which will provide the estimated source signal at its output.

Esta tese de doutorado apresenta uma nova abordagem para a teoria fonte-filtro de geração de voz, mais precisamente sons sonoros, que realiza a modelagem da voz por meio de três subsistemas independentes: fonte de excitação, trato vocal e radiação dos lábios e narinas. Trata-se de um modelo em que a geração da voz é feita por meio de filtros lineares e invariantes ao deslocamento no tempo e que leva em consideração a física da fonação, a partir da característica cicloestacionária do sinal de voz, proveniente do comportamento de vibração das cordas vocais. É sugerido que a frequência de oscilação das cordas vocais é dada em função da massa e comprimento delas, e que seu valor é alterado principalmente pela tensão longitudinal aplicada a elas. No modelo proposto para geração da voz, o movimento vibratório das cordas vocais é modelado por meio de um de gerador de trem de impulsos cicloestacionário, controlado por um sinal de tensão obtido a partir da forma de onda do sinal de voz. É realizada toda a análise matemática que abrange o novo modelo para a excitação glotal, apresentando-se uma expressão matemática da densidade espectral de potência do sinal que excita a glote, bem como para o sinal de voz, cujos parâmetros podem ser ajustados para emular patologias na glote. Além disso, apresenta-se a análise no domínio da frequência do pulso glotal usado. Para analisar o desempenho do modelo proposto, testes com locução foram realizados e os resultados indicam que o modelo proposto se ajusta bem a geração da voz. / The search for new models that represent the biophysics of voice phonation is important for applications that include voice signal processing because it represents a tool for getting to know the characteristics of the speakers. This doctoral thesis presents a new proposal for the source-filter theory of voice production, more precisely related to voiced sounds, that performs the voice modelling using three independent subsystems: the excitation source, the vocal tract, the lip and nostrils radiation system. It is a proposal for a model to generate voice using linear and time-invariant systems, and takes into account the phonation physics and the cyclestationarity characteristics of the voice signal, related to the vibrational behavior of the vocal cords. The model suggests that the frequency oscillation of the vocal folds is a function of the mass and length, but controlled by the longitudinal tension applied to them. In the proposed voice generation model, the vibratory movement of the vocal cords is modeled by a cyclestationary train of impulses, controlled by a tension signal obtained from the voice signal waveform. A mathematical analysis encompassing the new model for glottal excitation is accomplished by presenting a mathematical expression of the signal power spectral density which excites the glottis, as well as the voice signal, whose parameters can be adjusted to emulate pathologies in the glottis. Moreover, the analysis of the utilized glottal pulse in the frequency domain is presented. To analyze the performance of the proposed model, tests with locutions were done and the results indicate that the proposed model adjusts well to voice generation.

Este estudo pressupõe a ocorrência de uma banda impureza com baixas concentrações de Mn, que merge na banda valência no caso de concentrações mais elevadas. A abordagem teórica, baseada em um formalismo de espalhamento múltiplo auto-consistente, através do cálculo da função de Green para buracos determina-se a função densidade espectral no nível de Fermi. A escolha de uma figura de mérito, com base na largura e sobre a posição do máximo da função densidade espectral no espaço recíproco, leva a um diagrama de fase que determina o caráter metálicos ou não metálicos da amostra. Também é possível identificar a mobility edge, e como consequência, a densidade efetiva de portadores livre. Uma amostra é definida pelo par de parâmetros independentes, a concentração de Mn e a densidade buraco. As melhores amostras, aquelas com os maiores valores de mérito, tem uma relação entre a densidade de buracos estendidos e a concentração de Mn aproximadamente de 0.3, muito próximo do raio de 10-25% observada entre as amostras reais produzidos com a mais alta temperatura de transição. Além disso, a relação entre essas concentrações de Mn correspondente as transições metal-não-metal e não-metal-metal que é de aproximadamente 2.4, muito próximo do valor 2.1 da amostras reais. Uma interpretação da ocorrência de ferromagnetismo com alta temperatura de transição em GaMnAs é dada como uma consequência da interação entre o mecanismo de interação assistido por estados localizados e interações indiretas assistida pelo estdos buraco estendidos. Portadores mediando magnetismo em semicondutores mostram diferenças importantes e potencialmente úteis a diferenças de magnetismo em metais tais como o luz- ou voltagem elétrica -controlando ferromagnetismo. Motivado por experiências reportadas em poços quânticos de GaAs com uma dopagem delta de Mn com altas temperaturas Currier (temperatura de transição) mais elevadas do que em bulk de (Ga, Mn)As, nós exploramos teoricamente a viabilidade do campo elétrico controlar ferromagnetismo em poços quânticos. Nós calculamos auto-consistentemente a interação de troca indireta em Mn-Mn íons e aplicamos a simulação Monte Carlo para encontrar transição temperatura Tc. A nossa abordagem permite-nos estudar sistematicamente os efeitos de confinamento quântico e da posição da camada magnética de Mn e Tc, que vai além da aproximação do campo médio.

This study assumes the occurrence of an impurity band which merges into the valence band at higher concentrations. The theoretical approach, based on a self-consistent multiple scattering formalism, determines the spectral density function at the Fermi level from the calculation of the hole's Green's functions. A choice of a figure of merit, based on the width and on the position of the maximum of the spectral density function in the reciprocal space, leads to a phase diagram determining the metallic or non-metallic character of the sample. It is also possible to identify mobility edges and, in consequence, the density of effectively free carriers. A model sample is defined by the pair of independent parameters, Mn concentration and hole density. The best samples, those with the highest figures of merit, have a ratio between the extended hole density and the Mn concentration near 0.3, very close to ratio of 10-30% observed among the real samples produced with the highest transition temperatures. Also, the ratio between those Mn concentrations corresponding to the metal-to-non-metal and non-metal-to-metal transitions is approximately 2.4, very close to the value 2.1 inferred from the real samples. An interpretation of the occurrence of high transition temperature ferromagnetism in GaM-nAs is given as a consequence of the interplay between interaction mechanism assisted by localized states and indirect interactions assisted by extended hole states. Carrier mediated magnetism in semiconductors show important and potentially useful differences from magnetism in metals,such as light- or bias-controlled ferromagnetism. Motivated by experiments reporting higher Currier temperatures in GaAs quantum wells with Mn-delta doping than the ones observed in bulk (Ga,Mn)As, we explore theoretically the feasibility of bias-controlled ferromagnetism these systems. We calculate self-consistently indirect Mn-Mn exchange interaction, and apply Monte Carlo approach to find transition temperature Tc. Our approach allows us to systematically study the eects of quantum confinement and the position of Mn layer on magnetic ordering and Tc, beyond mean field approximation. We compare our findings with the experimental results and suggest paths toward improving the control of ferromagnetism.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This dissertation aims to make a study and processing of two types of signs of neuronal electrical activity. The first was recorded from multielectrode arrays (MEA), in reference to spontaneous activity of neuronal groups grown in cultures. We analyzed two cultures considered inactive, meaning, cultures that after a few days in vitro, there was not a connection between neurons. It was applied two mathematical tools, autocorrelation and power spectral density, allowing an analysis of the signal in time domain and frequency, respectively, trying to verify whether the data recorded from these inactive cultures could be considered as noise from instrumentation. In fact, the results indicate that these signals have similar characteristics to white noise, which disturbs any computer analysis usually performed by researchers in computational neuroscience. Another source of signals used for this study were records of electroencephalography (EEG), collected on 20 patients from the Clinical Hospital of Uberlândia under prior consent. After a clinical examination by qualified professional, an analysis was performed using computational Fourier transform and power spectral density. Through amplitude graphics (Fourier transform) and spectral density, we have realized that the signal energy is concentrated around the frequencies more representative and, in some cases, there was presence of noise from power network. With the phase spectrum, it was possible to conclude that signals with similar frequencies have spectra of similar phase. / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo fazer um estudo e processamento de dois tipos de sinais de atividade elétrica neuronal. O primeiro foi registrado a partir de matrizes multieletrodos (MEA), referentes a atividade espontânea de grupos neuronais em cultura. Foram analisadas duas culturas consideradas como inativas, ou seja, culturas que após alguns dias in vitro, não se verificou a conexão entre os neurônios. Foram aplicadas duas ferramentas matemáticas, autocorrelação e densidade espectral de potência, permitindo uma análise do sinal no domínio do tempo e freqüência, respectivamente, procurando verificar se os dados registrados destas culturas inativas poderiam ser considerados como ruído de instrumentação. De fato, os resultados apontam que estes sinais apresentam características semelhantes ao ruído branco, o qual perturba qualquer análise informática normalmente realizada por pesquisadores em neurociência computacional. Outra fonte de sinais utilizados para este estudo foram registros de eletroencefalografia (EEG), coletados em 20 pacientes do Hospital de Clínicas de Uberlândia sob prévio consentimento destes. Após uma análise clínica por profissional qualificado, foi realizada uma análise computacional utilizando transformada de Fourier e densidade espectral de potência. Através dos gráficos de amplitude (transformada de Fourier) e densidade espectral, percebeu-se que a energia do sinal está concentrada em torno das freqüências mais representativas e, em alguns casos, observou-se presença de ruído de rede elétrica. Com o espectro de fase, foi possível concluir que sinais com freqüências semelhantes apresentam espectros de fase semelhantes. / Mestre em Ciências

Abstract: The thesis work is part of a project that aims to develop a reliable CFD model to investigate the fluid-dynamics of a fluidized bubbling bed during gasification of refuse derived fuel (RDF) from sorted municipal solid waste (MSW). Gasification is a thermochemical process that converts carbon-containing materials into syngas. In this specific context scaling up is challenging because it implies dealing with a complex chemistry combined to heat and mass transfer phenomena in a multi-phase fluid environment. CFD modeling could represent a potential tool to predict the impact of the reactor configuration and operating conditions on gas yield, composition and potential contaminants. Validation of CFD simulations for such systems has been so far possible using different sophisticated experimental tools, allowing to link the model with experimental data. However, such high tech equipment may not always be available, especially at industrial scale. Hence, this work focuses on investigating the accuracy and numerical sensitivity of two different CFD models employed in the characterization of dense solid-particle flows in bubbling fluidized beds. The key parameter adopted to describe and quantify the dynamic behavior of this multiphase system is the power spectral density (PSD) distribution of pressure fluctuations. This PSD function was used to assess the accuracy of CFD models using one set of operating condition. The same type of analysis, extended to a wider range of operating conditions, may lead to a robust validation of the numerical models presented in this work. In spite of his measurement simplicity, pressure drop data present a strong connection with the bed fluid-dynamics and its interpretation could help to improve the fluidized bed technologies very fast, pushing CFD models closer to applications. / Résumé : Le but de ce projet est de développer un modèle CFD fiable pour étudier la dynamique des fluides d'un lit fluidisé en régime bullant pendant la gazéification de combustibles solides de récupération (CSR) triés à partir de déchets solides municipaux (DSM). La gazéification est un processus thermochimique qui convertit les matériaux contenant du carbone en gaz de synthèse. La mise à l'échelle est difficile dans ce cas car elle implique une chimie complexe combinée aux phénomènes de transfert de chaleur et de masse dans un environnement fluide multiphasique. La modélisation CFD représente un outil potentiel pour prédire l'impact de la configuration du réacteur et des conditions de fonctionnement sur le rendement, la composition et les contaminants potentiels du gaz. La validation des simulations CFD pour de tels systèmes a été jusqu'à présent possible grâce à l’utilisation de différents outils expérimentaux sophistiqués, permettant de lier le modèle aux données expérimentales. Toutefois, un tel équipement de pointe n’est pas toujours disponible, en particulier à l'échelle industrielle. Par conséquent, ce travail se concentre sur l'étude de la précision et de la sensibilité numérique de deux modèles CFD différents, utilisés dans la caractérisation des flux de particules solides denses dans les lits fluidisés bouillonnants. Le paramètre clé adopté pour décrire et quantifier le comportement dynamique de ce système multiphase est la distribution de la densité spectrale de puissance (DSP) des fluctuations de pression. La fonction DSP a été utilisée pour évaluer la précision des modèles CFD en utilisant un ensemble de conditions de fonctionnement. Le même type d'analyse, étendu à une plus large gamme de conditions de fonctionnement, peut conduire à une validation robuste des modèles numériques présentés dans ce travail. En dépit de sa simplicité de mesure, les données de chute de pression présentent une importante corrélation avec les lits fluidisés, de plus, leur interprétation pourrait aider à améliorer ces technologies très rapidement, poussant les modèles CFD plus près des applications.

This master thesis deals with classification of sleep stages on the base of polysomnographic signals. On several signals was performed analysis and feature extraxtion in time domain and in frequency domain as well. For feature extraxtion was used EEG, EOG and EMG signals. For classification was selected classification models K-NN, SVM and artifical neural network. Accuracy of classifation is different depending on used method and spleep stages split. The best results achieved classification among stages Wake, REM, and N3, with neural network usage. In this case the succes was 93,1 %.

The current persistent drought and changes in the climate system have raised water managers expert questions about how to manage water resources in the future. The manifestation of climate change in hydrological series and their influence on the magnitude of threats to the storage functions of reservoirs are more often investigated. Already today, long-term shortages of storage capacity in reservoirs lead to the introduction of special manipulations on water structures. The aim of the thesis is to perform the analysis of time series, respectively decomposition of hydrological series average annual and monthly discharges. Create extended hydrological bases using synthetic discharge series generators and develop a comprehensive analysis of storage volume without considering losses even with the introduction of losses from the water surface vapor in the UNCE RESERVOIR program. The created discharge series are compared and evaluated on the basis of statistical characteristics and reservoir storages results with the real discharge series. The practical app is conducted on the Vranov reservoir in the Dyje River Basin.
