A Sound Field Separation and Reconstruction Technique Based on Reciprocity Theorem and Fourier Transform

We show a method to separate the sound field radiated by a signal source from the sound field radiated by noise sources and to reconstruct the sound field radiated by the signal source. The proposed method is based on reciprocity theorem and the Fourier transform. Both the sound field and its gradient on a measurement surface are needed in the method. Evanescent waves are considered in the method, which ensures a high resolution reconstruction in the near field region of the signal source when evanescent waves can be measured. A simulation is given to verify the method and the influence of measurement noise on the method is discussed.

基于危险值分布流模型的飞机时间间隔计算方法

前后两架飞机的间隔是影响进近航路容量的关键因素,为了在飞机进近阶段前后两架飞机之间既能保持安全,又能最大程度地缩小两机之间的尾流间隔,提升进近阶段的到达容量,使用一种改进的Lighthill-Whitham-Richards(LWR)的交通流量模型,改进后的LWR模型将进场着陆的飞机发生碰撞冲突的概率视为与飞机数量相关的连续分布,称为危险值分布,通过危险值分布预测发生冲突的概率,使用速度平差法计算不同机型组合的安全间隔。基于危险值分布流模型对进近阶段上不满足间隔的飞机提出速度调整方法,使飞机之间保持所需的最小间隔时间,以便能够最佳利用进场着陆空域的容量。

Music/voice separation based on the multi-repeating structure of Mel cepstrum coefficient

For the poor adaptability of the original repeating pattern, an improved music separation method of multi-repeating structure of Mel cepstrum coefficient （MFCC） is proposed. Firstly, the MFCC coefficient matrix （39-dimensional data） of the music signal was extracted. Then the cosine characteristic was applied to the count of similarity matrix of MFCC, and the fragments with consistent similarity are putted together. Next different repeating patterns are built for different groups. Thereby the spectrums of the background music and vocal were separated combined with ideal binary masking （IBM）, and the corresponding time domain signals were obtained by inverse Fourier transform. Fnally, the improved method was tested on the music database of different types and length, and the separation results were compared with repeating method of Rafii and the non-negative matrix factorization based on flexible framework method of Ozerov. The experimental results showed that the separation performance of improved method was improved about 3 dB, and the performance of music with melody changed larger was significantly improved. Experiments verified that the improved method was an effective music separation algorithm and more stability.

Groundwater Contribution to Surface Water Contamination in a North German Low Land Catchment with Intensive Agricultural Land Use

The contribution of groundwater (GW) to the nitrate loads in surface waters (SW) was exemplarily studied for the river Augraben with a catchment area of 89.9 km2, located in north eastern Germany. The study uses available GW and SW quality data in order to develop a relationship between SW and GW in the Augraben catchment. The calculated ratio of base flow varies from 40% to 80% using various filtering methods of hydrograph separation methods (without taking into account the drainage) in comparison to a calculated GW infiltration of 5% - 7% applying Darcy’s law (upper unconfined aquifer). Drainage was estimated as the difference in base flow obtained through filtering methods of hydrograph separation and the Darcy’s law. Results on the basis of monitoring data and hydrograph separation in quick flow and base flow showed that during winter periods, high concentration in SW has been found parallel to periods of higher GW flow with a strong correlation between SW and GW concentrations. These findings also coincided with the non-vegetation period, i.e. low nitrogen uptake by plants. Overall, nitrate-nitrogen loads at the SW monitoring point (Bei Lindenberg represents the 85% area of the catchment) were 193.5, 97.72, and 122 tons for the year 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively. Measured GW concentrations in the catchment differ strongly, depending on land use, with elevated concentrations in agricultural areas compared to monitoring points in grass land and in forest areas. In one GW monitoring station, NO3 concentrations exceed the maximum permissible limits (MPL) according to EU water quality standards (MPL = 50 mg/l NO3), up to factor two. High ammonia concentrations at another station may be due to excessive application of manure. The contribution of the different sub-catchments to nitrate load in SW can be ranked in decreasing order in Zone B, D, A and C. Drainage and interflow proved to be a major contributor with 55% - 65% of total load in SW. With the applied method a robust estimation of GW contribution to nitrate loads is feasible using typically available monitoring data of German environmental authorities.
