Segment-based melody matching approaches are proposed to solve the problems of pitch instability, tempo inconsistency, and puff noise of singing/humming in Query By Singing/Humming system.Instead of comparing frame by frame from the beginning and trying different scaling ratio, our segment-based approaches reduce the computation complexity by jumpi
Operation mode is widely used in a refinery production process, bringing great convenience to its daily operations.However, the refinery scheduling model with operation mode makes the scheduling model become large and thus difficult to solve.In this article, we present a new refinery scheduling model based on Variable Driven Modelling (VDM) approac
The purpose of this research is to analyse the thermal behaviour of South Holland provincial parks during heat waves, in order to provide design adaptation guidelines to increase their cooling capacity over the hotspots present carving set in their urban surroundings.This research analyses the thermal behaviour of different land use patches (forest
In impulse radio ultra-wideband carving set (IR-UWB) systems where the channel lengths are on the order of a few hundred taps, conventional use of frequency-domain (FD) processing for channel estimation and equalization may not be feasible because the need to add a cyclic prefix (CP) to each block causes a significant reduction in the spectral effi
