Le rehaussement de la parole est un domaine du traitement du signal qui prend de plus en plus d'ampleur. En effet, dans un monde où la télécommunication connaît un véritable essor, les technologies se doivent d'être de plus en plus performantes afin de satisfaire au plus grand nombre. Les applications qui nécessitent un rehaussement de la parole sont très nombreuses, la plus évidente étant sans doute celle de la téléphonie mobile, où de nombreux bruits environnants peuvent gêner la qualité et l'intelligibilité du signal de parole transmis. Il existe à ce jour de nombreuses techniques de rehaussement de la parole. Celles-ci peuvent d'ores et déjà se décliner en deux catégories distinctes. En effet, certaines techniques utilisent plusieurs microphones et sont qualifiées de multi-capteur, tandis que d'autres techniques n'en utilisent qu'un seul et sont alors qualifiées de mono-capteur.Le présent sujet de recherche se situe dans la catégorie des techniques mono-capteurs qui utilisent principalement les propriétés statistiques de la parole et du bruit afin de réduire au mieux le signal de bruit. La Décomposition Modale Empirique, ou EMD, est une méthode de transformée de signaux qui est apparue récemment et qui suscite de plus en plus l'intérêt des chercheurs en rehaussement de la parole. L'EMD s'avère être une méthode de décomposition de signal très efficace car, contrairement aux transformées plus classiques, l'EMD est une transformée non linéaire et non stationnaire. Ses propriétés statistiques, en réponse au bruit blanc gaussien, ont permis de conclure sur le comportement de cette approche similaire à un banc de filtres quasi-dyadique. Les méthodes existantes de rehaussement de la parole basée sur la modélisation par EMD s'appuient toutes sur ce comportement dans leur démarche de réduction de bruit, et leur efficacité n'est validée que dans le cas de signaux de parole corrompus par du bruit blanc gaussien. Cependant, un algorithme de réduction de bruit n'est intéressant que s'il est efficace sur des bruits environnants de tous les jours. Ces travaux de recherche visent ainsi à déterminer les caractéristiques de l'EMD face à des signaux de parole corrompus par des bruits"réels", avant de comparer ces caractéristiques à ceux issues de signaux de parole corrompus par du bruit blanc gaussien. Les conclusions de cette étude sont finalement mises en pratiques dans le développement d'un système de réduction de bruit qui vise à séparer au mieux le bruit du signal de parole, et ce quel que soit le type de bruit rencontré.

This introduction serves to provide a sketch of the circumstances that led to the prominence of "nativist," or xiangtu literature from the Republic of China (i.e. Taiwan) in the late twentieth century. Huang Chunming, the author of the stories featured in this thesis, has been a prolific writer from the east of the Taiwan Straits since 1962, and has contributed to the popularization of Taiwanese xiangtu literature in the decades of the island's industrialization experience. In Huang's world of fictional characters, readers have multifaceted records of the Taiwanese people's lives and the culture of their native soil.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historiography of Qin Shi Huang. I will focus my analysis on the perspectives of scholars from three periods: the Han Dynasty, late 19th century to early 20th century, and last the 30 to 40 years of Communist Party rule. Through analysis of sources from each of the three periods, I will trace the evolution of the shifting perspectives on Qin Shi Huang to explain why this controversial figure has remained relevant throughout the ages.

Parkinson’s disease is a clinical syndrome manifesting with slowness and instability. As it is a progressive disease with varying symptoms, repeated assessments are necessary to determine the outcome of treatment changes in the patient. In the recent past, a computer-based method was developed to rate impairment in spiral drawings. The downside of this method is that it cannot separate the bradykinetic and dyskinetic spiral drawings. This work intends to construct the computer method which can overcome this weakness by using the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) of tangential velocity. The work is done under supervised learning, so a target class is used which is acquired from a neurologist using a web interface. After reducing the dimension of HHT features by using PCA, classification is performed. C4.5 classifier is used to perform the classification. Results of the classification are close to random guessing which shows that the computer method is unsuccessful in assessing the cause of drawing impairment in spirals when evaluated against human ratings. One promising reason is that there is no difference between the two classes of spiral drawings. Displaying patients self ratings along with the spirals in the web application is another possible reason for this, as the neurologist may have relied too much on this in his own ratings.
