Evaluation of the separation algorithm performance employing ANNs
PublikacjaCelem niniejszego rozdziału jest przedstawienie metodyki separacji dźwięków muzycznych bez informacji a priori o dźwiękach zawartych w muzycznym miksie. W pracy pokazano, że prawidłowo wytrenowana sztuczna sieć neuronowa (SNN)jest w stanie w sposób automatyczny poprawnie sklasyfikować dźwięki zawarte w zmiksowanym sygnale. Skuteczność klasyfikacji SNN jest porównywalna z oceną subiektywną ekspertów.

Application of ionic liquids for gas separation processes
PublikacjaNowym kierunkiem w procesach separacji dwutlenku węgla stało się w ostatnich latach zastosowanie cieczy jonowych. Niemierzalna prężność par i możliwość dostosowania ich właściwości czyni je idealnymi mediami zastępującymi lotne, korozyjne i toksyczne rozpuszczalniki. Ponadto ciecze jonowe wykazują niską współabsorpcję innych gazów. Dlatego też, możliwe jest selektywne odseparowanie dwutlenku węgla z mieszanin gazowych
