Why use Anti-seepage geomembrane in salt production?
Solar salting involves evaporating water from brine to extract salt. This process requires placing saltwater in shallow pans, allowing the sun to evaporate the water and leaving the salt behind. Yet, if the soil lacks impermeability, water might seep through, diluting the brine and diminishing the salt concentration, thereby impacting both yield and quality. To solve this problem, Salt Field ...

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 ...
