Knowledge transfer – acquiring implicit knowledge
Many organisations have recognised the problem of experts taking home a huge amount of specific knowledge, which they have gathered in their department, when they leave. The successor is capable only of acquiring explicit expertise because implicit experiences are not documented and therefore no more available. That is why we have started this pilot study in order to try to conserve the above ...

Recurrent Neural Network and Bionic Wavelet Transform for speech enhancement
This paper deals with speech enhancement using Bionic Wavelet Transform (BWT) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). Indeed, it describes a new technique, which removes additive background noise from noisy speech. This technique can be divided into two stages: the application of BWT to the speech signals and the application of an Elman neural network to find an optimal thresholding set to remove ...

Aroclor Analysis by GC on the SLB-5ms
Application Report 402 Aroclors are commercial mixtures of PCB congeners. Due to their stability, they have been used in many different industrial and commercial applications. Because of their toxicity and ability to bioaccumulate, production of these materials ceased in 1977. This application demonstrates the separation of two common Aroclor mixtures, Aroclor 1016 and Aroclor 1260 on the ...
