Influence Of Noise

Generalized synchronization between two different nonlinear systems under influence of noise is studied with the help of an electronic circuit and numerical experiment. In the present case, we have studied the phenomena of generalized synchronization between the Lorenz system and another nonlinear system (modified Lorenz) proposed in Ray et al. (2011, “On the Study of Chaotic Systems With Non-Horseshoe Template,” Frontier in the Study of Chaotic Dynamical Systems With Open Problems, Vol. 16, E. Zeraoulia and J. C. Sprott, eds., World Scientific, Singapore, pp. 85–103) from the perspective of electronic circuits and corresponding data collected digitally. Variations of the synchronization threshold with coupling (between driver and driven system) and noise intensity have been studied in detail. Later, experimental results are also proved numerically. It is shown that in certain cases, noise enhances generalized synchronization, and in another it destroys generalized synchronization. Numerical studies in the latter part have also proved results obtained experimentally.

Influence Of Noise

This paper deals with the influence of noise and vibration sources from which vibrations propagate through subsoil into building structures. Structural noise is usually then emitted by building structures into interiors. Especially within city centers and urban areas the approach of building construction towards sources such as road and rail transport differ in particular, whether the objects are located directly above the metro or railway tunnel, or objects close to roads or railways.

Measured Response

Single microphone noise reduction (NR) in hearing aids can provide a subjective benefit even when there is no objective improvement in speech intelligibility. A possible explanation lies in a reduction of listening effort. Previously, we showed that response times (a proxy for listening effort) to an auditory-only dual-task were reduced by NR in normal-hearing (NH) listeners. In this study, we investigate if the results from NH listeners extend to the hearing-impaired (HI), the target group for hearing aids. In addition, we assess the relevance of the outcome measure for studying and understanding listening effort. Twelve HI subjects were asked to sum two digits of a digit triplet in noise. We measured response times to this task, as well as subjective listening effort and speech intelligibility. Stimuli were presented at three signal-to-noise ratios (SNR; –5, 0, +5 dB) and in quiet. Stimuli were processed with ideal or nonideal NR, or unprocessed. The effect of NR on response times in HI listeners was significant only in conditions where speech intelligibility was also affected (–5 dB SNR). This is in contrast to the previous results with NH listeners. There was a significant effect of SNR on response times for HI listeners. The response time measure was reasonably correlated ( R142 = 0.54) to subjective listening effort and showed a sufficient test–retest reliability. This study thus presents an objective, valid, and reliable measure for evaluating an aspect of listening effort of HI listeners.

Influence Of Noise

Positioning is considered one of the key features in various novel industry verticals in future radio systems. Since path loss (PL) or received signal strength-based measurements are widely available in the majority of wireless standards, PL-based positioning has an important role among positioning technologies. Conventionally, PL-based positioning has two phases—fitting a PL model to training data and positioning based on the link distance estimates. However, in both phases, the maximum measurable PL is limited by measurement noise. Such immeasurable samples are called censored PL data and such noisy data are commonly neglected in both the model fitting and in the positioning phase. In the case of censored PL, the loss is known to be above a known threshold level and that information can be used in model fitting and in the positioning phase. In this paper, we examine and propose how to use censored PL data in PL model-based positioning. Additionally, we demonstrate with several simulations the potential of the proposed approach for considerable improvements in positioning accuracy (23–57%) and improved robustness against PL model fitting errors.

Abstract Despite great progress in understanding the functions and structures of the central nervous system (CNS) the brain stem remains one of the least understood systems. We know that the brain stem acts as a decision station preparing the organism to act in a specific way, but such functions are rather difficult to model with sufficient precision to replicate experimental data due to the scarcity of data and complexity of large-scale simulations of brain stem structures. The approach proposed in this article retains some ideas of previous models, and provides more precise computational realization that enables qualitative interpretation of the functions played by different network states. Simulations are aimed primarily at the investigation of general switching mechanisms which may be executed in brain stem neural networks, as far as studying how the aforementioned mechanisms depend on basic neural network features: basic ionic channels, accommodation, and the influence of noise.
