ホームズ物語言及作曲家に見るドイルの宗教観
Arthur Conan Doyle abandoned Catholicism early on and later devoted himself to spiritualism. Looking at the composers mentioned in the Sherlock Holmes stories, many are Protestants, four of whom, Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, Offenbach, and Wagner, wrote music using Martin Luther’s Ein’ feste Burg ist unser Gott. He also portrays the Huguenots who, after being chased out of France, resettled in the United States in The Refugees: A Tale of Two Continents. Doyle had a favorable view of Protestantism, especially the Lutheran and Huguenot varieties
Post-Hartree-Fock method in Quantum Chemistry for Quantum Computer
Quantum computational chemistry is a potential application of quantum
computers that is expected to effectively solve several quantum-chemistry
problems, particularly the electronic structure problem. Quantum computational
chemistry can be compared to the conventional computational devices. This
review comprehensively investigates the applications and overview of quantum
computational chemistry, including a review of the Hartree-Fock method for
quantum information scientists. Quantum algorithms, quantum phase estimation,
and variational quantum eigensolver, have been applied to the post-Hartree-Fock
method.Comment: 31 pages, 6 figure
Single-Channel Speech Enhancement Based on Frequency Domain ALE
In the present paper, a new single-channel speech enhancement system is proposed. The proposed system is based on frequency domain adaptive line enhancer; therefore, it is advantageous to non-stationary environments. Also, frequency domain decorrelation parameters are introduced and then adjusted independently. The performance of the proposed system is examined through computer simulations. The effectiveness of the proposed system is confirmed through computer simulations
Optimal User Weighting Fusion in DWT Domain On-line Signature Verification
The on-line signature verification method in DWT domain has been proposed. Time-varying pen-position signal of the on-line signature is decomposed into sub-band signals by using the DWT. Individual features are extracted as high frequency signals in sub-band. By using the extracted feature, verification is achieved at each sub-band and then total decision is done by combining such verification results. In this paper, we introduce a user weighting fusion into the total decision. Through verification experiments, it is confirmed that there is an optimal weight combination for each user and verifiaction rate can be improved when the optimal weight combination is applied
DWT Domain Multi-matcher On-line Signature Verification System
This paper presents a multi-matcher on-line signature verification system which fuses the verification scores in pen-position parameter and pen-movement angle parameter at decision level. Features of pen-position and pen-movement angle are extracted by the sub-band decomposition using the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). In the pen-position, high frequency sub-band signals are considered as individual features to enhance the difference between a genuine signature and its forgery. On the other hand, low frequency sub-band signals are utilized as the features for suppressing the intra-class variation in the penmovement angle. Verification is achieved by the adaptive signal processing using the extracted features. Verification scores in the pen-position and the pen-movement angle are integrated by using a weighted sum rule to make total decision. Experimental results show that fusion of pen-position and pen-movement angle can improve verification performance
Threshold Equalization for On-Line Signature Verification
In on-line signature verification, complexity of signature shape can influence the value of the optimal threshold for individual signatures. Writer-dependent threshold selection has been proposed but it requires forgery data. It is not easy to collect such forgery data in practical applications. Therefore, some threshold equalization method using only genuine data is needed. In this letter, we propose three different threshold equalization methods based on the complexity of signature. Their effectiveness is confirmed in experiments using a multi-matcher DWT on-line signature verification system
