Abstract: Stochastic calculus methods are used to estimate the Nonstationary components of a linear mixture. Each component in the mixture is assumed to follow a stochastic differential equation with some unknown parameters. The estimation of the stochastic process parameters and the estimation of the unknown amplitudes of the mixture matrix, through Girsanov theory, will generate a stochastic equation for each unknown process. Several examples are given, and a comparison to existing …

Mechanism of Intensive Gas and Fluid Mixture in the Process of Vibroturbulization and Its Technological Applications
Abstract: Previously conducted experimental studies have established that in a certain narrow frequency range and upon reaching a certain value of the amplitude of water oscillations in a sealed vessel with above-water air shell, subjected to vertical vibration, a resonant phenomenon occurs, called “vibroturbulization”, leading to intensive mixing of media of different density. The studies carried out were purely experimental in nature and could not reveal the physicochemical mechanism of occurrence, …

Localization Based Beamforming Approach to Audio Source Separation from Binaural Mixtures
Abstract: This paper presents an approach of localization on the basis of audio source separation from binaural mixtures with adaptive beamforming. A new source localization technique is proposed to spatially localize the sources with two degrees of freedom (azimuth and elevation). We used a head related transfer function to synthesize the binaural mixture that introduces the interaural differences to the source signals. The interaural cues are technically employed to estimate the …

Predictability of Equation of State (EoS)-based Gas Hydrate Models for Single and Binary Gas Mixtures
Abstract: The better models are necessary to design and understand the phase behavior of produced trapped natural gas from natural gas hydrates from subsea environments. Most of the models available in an open literature are primarily applicable at relatively low pressure condition thus making their use very limited for gas hydrate reservoir modeling. In order to produce methane from these gas hydrates, it is important to understand the phase behavior through …

Enhancing Compressive Strength and Durability through Optimization of Concrete Mixtures
Abstract: This research investigates how varying cement-aggregate ratio, water-cement ratio, and slump height affect the compressive strength of concrete mixtures. Through an analysis of 36 samples, each representing different combinations of these parameters, significant insights are gained into the optimization of concrete mix designs for construction applications. The study reveals that higher water-cement ratios tend to decrease compressive strength due to increased porosity in cured concrete. Conversely, higher cement-aggregate ratios generally …
