Speech denoising is a field of engineering that studies techniques used to recover the original signal from the noisy signal corrupted with different types of noise, such as broadband noise and narrowband noise, and other types present in environment, but the spectral subtraction technique consider the most prominent in this area . In this search we will discuss the parameters impact of the modified spectral subtraction algorithm and the time window length in the enhancement of speech that corrupted with broadband noise. We done the study and determine the ideal parameters values and the ideal window length with different values for the signal -to-noise ratio SNR for noisy speech and we discuss 18 case for each value. We done the simulation using MATLAB software and the results were compared based on improving the value of SNR for each case .

Critical review
تعتبر هذه الدراسة خطوة مهمة في مجال تحسين الإشارات الصوتية الملوثة بالضجيج، إلا أن هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، كان من الأفضل توسيع نطاق القيم المدروسة لمعاملات الخوارزمية وطول النافذة الزمنية لتشمل نطاقات أوسع. ثانياً، يمكن تحسين دقة الكاشف الفعال للصوت المستخدم في الخوارزمية، مما قد يؤدي إلى تحسين الأداء بشكل أكبر. ثالثاً، لم تتناول الدراسة تأثير أنواع أخرى من الضجيج غير عريض الحزمة، مما يحد من تطبيقات الخوارزمية في بيئات متنوعة. أخيراً، كان من الممكن تضمين معايير أخرى غير SNR لمقارنة الأداء، مثل مقارنة النتائج سماعياً أو رسم المخططات الطيفية.

The masking-based speech enhancement method pursues a multiplicative mask that applies to the spectrogram of input noise-corrupted utterance, and a deep neural network (DNN) is often used to learn the mask. In particular, the features commonly used f or automatic speech recognition can serve as the input of the DNN to learn the well-behaved mask that significantly reduce the noise distortion of processed utterances. This study proposes to preprocess the input speech features for the ideal ratio mask (IRM)-based DNN by lowpass filtering in order to alleviate the noise components. In particular, we employ the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to decompose the temporal speech feature sequence and scale down the detail coefficients, which correspond to the high-pass portion of the sequence. Preliminary experiments conducted on a subset of TIMIT corpus reveal that the proposed method can make the resulting IRM achieve higher speech quality and intelligibility for the babble noise-corrupted signals compared with the original IRM, indicating that the lowpass filtered temporal feature sequence can learn a superior IRM network for speech enhancement.
In this paper, we propose spectral modification by sharpening formants and by reducing the spectral tilt to recognize children's speech by automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems developed using adult speech. In this type of mismatched condition, the ASR performance is degraded due to the acoustic and linguistic mismatch in the attributes between children and adult speakers. The proposed method is used to improve the speech intelligibility to enhance the children's speech recognition using an acoustic model trained on adult speech. In the experiments, WSJCAM0 and PFSTAR are used as databases for adults' and children's speech, respectively. The proposed technique gives a significant improvement in the context of the DNN-HMM-based ASR. Furthermore, we validate the robustness of the technique by showing that it performs well also in mismatched noise conditions.
The main aim of this study is to analyze all cases of pericardial effusions - except post cardiac procedures - who were admitted to surgical department in Al-Assad and Tichreen University Hospital in the period between 2007-2016. (63) cases of Per icardial effusions were analyzed, (38) male and (25) female, their ages were ranging between (17-67) years. The most important two causes of pericardial effusions were renal failure (50.7%) and Malignancies (34.9%). lung cancer was the leading cause of Malignancies accounting 17.4% of whole cases and 50% of Malignancies. Pericardial window via left mini thoracotomy was the preferred procedure in our study. 68.2% of the patients under went this procedure, recurrent rate was 4.6%, and the amount of recurrent pericardial effusion was minimal and didn’t need any management. Pericardiocentesis was performed in 39.6% of our patients, recurrent rate was very high 80%, therefore it was abondend as a method of treatment and its role was considered only in hemodynamically unstable patients or as a first step of preparation for pericardial window. Pericardial window via subxyhoid under local anesthesia was performed in 11.11%; recurrent rate was high 28.6%.We consider this approach only in patients who are not fit to undergo other approaches or when the expected survival is very limited. Pericardial window via thoracoscopic approach was performed in 15.8% of our patients; recurrent rate was 10% with encouraging results. During performance of pericardial window via minithoracotomy or thoracoscopically we were able to perform in (19) patients many other diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as pleurectomy, Biopsies from the lungs, mediastinal tumors, and mediastinal lymph nodes as well. The histopathological examination of the resected pericardial window and concurrent procedures played an important diagnostic role in 23.8% of idiopathic pericardial effusions.
Operational research science aims to find the optimal solution to many problems in various life domains. One of the most famous is the network analysis. Problem.
