This paper proposes a semi-supervised approach of speech and music separation in monaural speech recordings based on non-negative matrix factorization (NMF). Considering the scenario that the genre of background music is known, music basis vectors are randomly picked from the magnitude of short time...

The Small Area Estimation (SAE) is useful for estimating subpopulation parameters with small sample size. Various methods have been developed to estimate the area parameters, especially model-based methods. The Empirical Bayes is a method that can be used to estimate small area parameters. A small area...

This study aimed to investigate whether a single bout of Self-myofascial Release (SMR) has a beneficial effect on peripheral and central Blood Pressure (BP) and different parameters of arterial stiffness. Twenty nine healthy male recreational athletes (26.1 ± 2.9 years, BMI 23.4 ± 1.5 kg/m2) completed...

This study aims to classify risk and derive the best estimate mortality rate for life insurance company PT ABC by using a Poisson regression model. With the Poisson regression model, this study modeled the number of deaths with policy duration, underwriting treatment, extra mortality enactment, and the...

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are increasingly recognized as safer and more flexible alternatives to conventional nuclear power plants in today’s industry. Their safety and flexibility, coupled with their lower time and capital investment requirements, make SMRs an ideal choice for clean energy in Canada’s...

Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is used in this paper to study the brain signals of patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in the EEGLAB toolbox. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals are recorded in unipolar mode, wherein the Cz electrode is selected as the reference electrode. Therefore,...

Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is a reaction of methane and carbon dioxide to produce synthesis gas (syngas), a hydrogen and carbon monoxide (H2/CO) mixture, which can have applications in the petrochemicals sector. While DRM is topical at face value, it does produce a syngas with a low H2/CO ratio not...
