The effect of ventilation aperture location of input airflow rates on the stratified flow
Awad, A.; Badran, O.; Hold, A.; Calay, R.K. (2008)The distribution of the stratified flow along and across the flow direction was investigated. The effect of input airflow rates on the stratified flow was conducted. Also both effects of hot and cold airflow rate variations ... -
Effective speaker verification via dynamic mismatch compensation
Pillay, Surosh; Ariyaeeinia, A.; Sivakumaran, P.; Pawlewski, M. (2012-06)This paper presents a new approach to Condition-adjusted T-Norm (CT-Norm) for speaker verification under significant mismatched noise conditions. The study is motivated by the fact that, whilst the standard CT-Norm method ... -
Effectiveness in Open-Set Speaker Identification
Karadaghi, Rawande; Hertlein, Heinz; Ariyaeeinia, A. (2014-10)This paper presents investigations into the relative effectiveness of two alternative approaches to open-set text-independent speaker identification (OSTI-SI). The methods considered are the recently introduced i-vector ... -
Effectiveness in the Realisation of Speaker Authentication
Hertlein, Heinz; Ariyaeeinia, Aladdin; Jeffrey, Zoe; Ramalingam, Soodamani (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-10-31)An important consideration for the deployment of speaker recognition in authentication applications is the approach to the formation of training and testing utterances . Whilst defining this for a specific scenario is ... -
Effectiveness of orthogonal instantaneous and transitional feature parameters for speaker verification
Ariyaeeinia, A.; Sivakumaran, P. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1995)The effectiveness, for text-dependent speaker verification, of orthogonal instantaneous and transitional feature parameters of speech is investigated. Instantaneous spectral features are represented by cepstral coefficients ... -
Effectiveness of speaker-dependent feature score pruning in speaker verification

The Effectiveness of the Land-Drainage Consent System
Day, R.; Fenner, R.A. (1996)This paper presents the results of a study into the effectiveness of the land-drainage consents system. The investigation studied eighteen main river reaches, each 2 km in length, in the north-east Thames region. All works ... -
An effectiveness study of enhanced heat transfer in phase change materials (PCMs)
Han, X.X.; Tian, Yuan; Zhao, C.Y. (2013-05)A phase field model is for the first time employed to solve the phase change problem in a metal foam-embedded Latent Thermal Energy Storage (LTES) system. A phase field model deals with free boundary problems without tracing ... -
