UV–Optical Disk Reverberation Lags despite a Faint X-Ray Corona in the Active Galactic Nucleus Mrk 335

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
 We present the first results from a 100-day Swift, NICER, and ground-based X-ray–UV–optical reverberation mapping campaign of the Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Mrk 335, when it was in an unprecedented low X-ray flux state.

A channel-selection criterion for suppressing reverberation in cochlear implants [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011
Little is known about the extent to which reverberation affects speech intelligibility by cochlear implant (CI) listeners. Experiment 1 assessed CI users’ performance using Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) sentences corrupted with varying degrees of reverberation.

Speech improvement in noisy reverberant environments using virtual microphones along with proposed array geometry

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2022
This paper proposes a novel approach for improving the speech of a single speaker in noisy reverberant environments. The proposed approach is based on using a beamformer with a large number of virtual microphones with the suggested arrangement on an open

Linear frequency modulation reverberation suppression using difference of singular values [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008
This letter proposes a reverberation suppression method to improve the target detection probability in reverberation environment induced by a linear frequency modulation signal. Using the singular value decomposition and an assumption of local spatial stationarity, the proposed algorithm suppresses reverberation utilizing the difference of singular ...

Self-shadowing Effects of Slim Accretion Disks in Active Galactic Nuclei: Diverse Appearance of the Broad-line Region

open access: yes, 2014
Supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) undergo a wide range of accretion rates, which lead to diversity of appearance. We consider the effects of anisotropic radiation from accretion disks on the broad-line region (BLR), from the ...

Channel and temporal-frequency attention UNet for monaural speech enhancement

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing, 2023
The presence of noise and reverberation significantly impedes speech clarity and intelligibility. To mitigate these effects, numerous deep learning-based network models have been proposed for speech enhancement tasks aimed at improving speech quality. In

A Low-Cost Robust Distributed Linearly Constrained Beamformer for Wireless Acoustic Sensor Networks with Arbitrary Topology

open access: yes, 2018
We propose a new robust distributed linearly constrained beamformer which utilizes a set of linear equality constraints to reduce the cross power spectral density matrix to a block-diagonal form.

Ultrasonic Reverberation Clutter Suppression Using Multiphase Apodization With Cross Correlation [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control, 2016
Despite numerous recent advances in medical ultrasound imaging, reverberation clutter from near-field anatomical structures, such as the abdominal wall, ribs, and tissue layers, is one of the major sources of ultrasound image quality degradation. Reverberation clutter signals are undesirable echoes, which arise as a result of multiple reflections of ...
