Simulation noise

To simulate noise of different levels The most unbiased noise was taken as white Gaussian distributed one. Its variance a was chosen as its main parameter, because its mean value equaled zero. The ratio of ct to the maximum level of intensity on the projections... 

Richard Kramer and Patrick Wiegand thought we should have added simulated noise to the data. 

Prior to deconvolution, the convolved spectrum was corrupted with additive noise to form rms signal-to-noise ratios of oo 1, 580 1,115 1, 60 1, and 30 1 for traces (c)-(g), respectively. The noise generated is similar to white noise (or detector noise) after passing through an amplification system with a negligible time constant. A typical spectrum would be recorded with the higher noise frequencies already attenuated, and thus our example may not represent a realistic situation. It should also be pointed out that the simulated noise differs from trace to trace in Fig. 3 only in amplitude and is thus not truly random. 

Seven simulated LC-UV/Vis DAS data matrices were constructed in MATLAB 5.0 (MathWorks Inc., Natick, MA). Each sample forms a 25 x 50 matrix. The simulated LC and spectral profiles are shown in Figure 12.3a and Figure 12.3b, respectively. Spectral and chromatographic profiles are constructed to have a complete overlap of the analyte profile by the interferents. Three of the samples represent pure standards of unit, twice-unit, and thrice-unit concentration. These standards are designated SI, S2, and S3, respectively. Three three-component mixtures of relative concentrations of interferent 1 analyte interferent 2 are 1 1.5 0.5, 2 0.5 2, and 2 2.5 1, and these are employed for all examples. These mixtures are designated Ml, M2, and M3, respectively. An additional two-component mixture, 2 2.5 0, is employed as an example for rank annihilation factor analysis. This sample is designated M4. In most applications, normally distributed random errors are added to each digitized channel of every matrix. These errors are chosen to have a mean of zero and a standard deviation of 0.14, which corresponds to 10% of the mean response of the middle standard. In the rank annihilation factor analysis (RAFA) examples, errors were chosen to simulate noise levels of 2.5 and 5% of the mean response of S2. In some PARAFAC examples, the noise level was chosen to be 30% of the mean response of the second standard. 

In studies where It was desired to simulate noise, two forms of noise addition could be used. These are uniform and Gaussian... 

Since the spreadsheet is eminently capable of doing tedious numerical work, exact mathematical expressions are used as much as possible in the examples involving chemical equilibria. Similarly, the treatment of titrations emphasizes the use of exact mathematical relations, which can then be fitted to experimental data. In some of the exercises, the student first computes, say, a make-believe titration curve, complete with simulated noise, and is then asked to extract from that curve the relevant parameters. The make-believe curve is clearly a stand-in for using experimental data, which can be subjected to the very same analysis. 

Once all the simulated noises are computed, they are added to the interferograms at the Add Noise Module to simulate more realistic measurements. The simulated interferograms are then sent to the Detector Module, where the interferograms are distorted according to the detector effects such as the time response. This interferograms are then sampled and readout at the Sampling and Readout Module, which also stores the data for the data reduction and processing.

To prepare simulated free-of-noise 3D images of a complex body For this target the image of an internal pore in the real welding joint with extracted noise was used. The ray tracer model was applied for the simulation of five projections of the selected image. 

Fig. 2 illustrates the spatial images of the simulated object with extracted noise. One of the simulated projections with varying level of noise is shown in fig.3.

To verify the modelling of the data eolleetion process, calculations of SAT 4, in the entrance window of the XRII was compared to measurements of RNR p oj in stored data as function of tube potential. The images object was a steel cylinder 5-mm) with a glass rod 1-mm) as defect. X-ray spectra were filtered with 0.6-mm copper. Tube current and exposure time were varied so that the signal beside the object. So, was kept constant for all tube potentials. Figure 8 shows measured and simulated SNR oproj, where both point out 100 kV as the tube potential that gives a maximum. Due to overestimation of the noise in calculations the maximum in the simulated values are normalised to the maximum in the measured values. Once the model was verified it was used to calculate optimal choice of filter materials and tube potentials, see figure 9. 

In fig. 2 an ideal profile across a pipe is simulated. The unsharpness of the exposure rounds the edges. To detect these edges normally a differentiation is used. Edges are extrema in the second derivative. But a twofold numerical differentiation reduces the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of experimental data considerably. To avoid this a special filter procedure is used as known from Computerised Tomography (CT) /4/. This filter based on Fast Fourier transforms (1 dimensional FFT s) calculates a function like a second derivative based on the first derivative of the profile P (r) ... 

In equations (3) and (4) the noise was simulated by sine function 6 = bs, (2nat), where a is the ratio of noise frequency to the carrier frequency of the reference signal.

The extent to which a ventilation noise is perceived as disturbing depends not only on its dB(A) level, but also on the spectral distribution and the presence of tones or intermittent components in the noise. From an experiment carried out on respondents exposed to ventilation noises with different characteristics in a simulated office room, it emerged that the highest acceptable level was about 7 dB higher for ventilation noise with a superimposed tone at 30 Fiz than for other types of noise. In another experiment, it was found that the tolerance level was much higher for a tone than for a noise at 100 Hz, whereas the opposite tendency applied at 1000 Hz. ... 

Path integral Monte Carlo simulations were performed [175] for the system with Hamiltonian (Eq. (25)) for uj = ujq/J = A (where / = 1) with N = 256 particles and a Trotter dimension P = 64 chosen to achieve good computer performance. It turned out that only data with noise of less than 0.1% led to statistically reliable results, which were only possible to obtain with about 10 MC steps. The whole study took approximately 5000 CPU hours on a CRAY YMP. 

MD runs for polymers typically exceed the stability Umits of a micro-canonical simulation, so using the fluctuation-dissipation theorem one can define a canonical ensemble and stabilize the runs. For the noise term one can use equally distributed random numbers which have the mean value and the second moment required by Eq. (13). In most cases the equations of motion are then solved using a third- or fifth-order predictor-corrector or Verlet s algorithms. 

The function / incorporates the screening effect of the surfactant, and is the surfactant density. The exponent x can be derived from the observation that the total interface area at late times should be proportional to p. In two dimensions, this implies R t) oc 1/ps and hence x = /n. The scaling form (20) was found to describe consistently data from Langevin simulations of systems with conserved order parameter (with n = 1/3) [217], systems which evolve according to hydrodynamic equations (with n = 1/2) [218], and also data from molecular dynamics of a microscopic off-lattice model (with n= 1/2) [155]. The data collapse has not been quite as good in Langevin simulations which include thermal noise [218]. 

Factor spaces are a mystery no more We now understand that eigenvectors simply provide us with an optimal way to reduce the dimensionality of our spectra without degrading them. We ve seen that, in the process, our data are unchanged except for the beneficial removal of some noise. Now, we are ready to use this technique on our realistic simulated data. PCA will serve as a pre-processing step prior to ILS. The combination of Principal Component Analysis with ILS is called Principal Component Regression, or PCR.

All three sources of noise combine to form the type of trace shown at the bottom of figure 3. In general, the sensitivity of the detector should never be set above the level where the combined noise exceeds 2% of the FSD (full scale deflection) of the recorder (if one is used) or appears as more than 2% FSD of the computer simulation of the chromatogram.
