Audio Signal Compression Using Wavelet Transform: A Matlab Implementation, Rigon Pira, Argjend Azizi, Gentrit Halimi, Zhilbert Tafa

UBT International Conference

In modern signal processing, the need to efficiently analyze and store non- stationary signals has become increasingly important, particularly for audio applications where both time and frequency localization are essential. Traditional Fourier-based methods provide global frequency information but fail to indicate when these frequencies occur, making them suboptimal for real-world, time-var- ying signals. This paper investigates the use of wavelet transforms, specifically the Daubechies wavelet for audio signal compression. A practical implementa- tion is developed in MATLAB, where the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is applied to decompose audio signals into approximation and detail coefficients. Thresholding techniques are employed to remove …

Review Of Soa Transition To Microservices And Beyond, Arbnesha Berisha Qerimaj, Merita Kasa Halili, Festim Halili Oct 2025

Review Of Soa Transition To Microservices And Beyond, Arbnesha Berisha Qerimaj, Merita Kasa Halili, Festim Halili

UBT International Conference

Oriented Architectures ( SOA ) emerged as a paradigm for distributed com-putting, e-business processing and enterprise integration. The benefits of SOA are multifaceted. It provides dynamism, as new in-stances of the same service can be launched to split the load on the system. Although microservices can be seen as an evolution of SOA, they are inherently different regarding sharing and reuse. SOA is built on the idea of fostering reuse: “a share as much as possible” architecture style, whereas microservice architectures seconds the idea of a “share as little as possible” architecture style: the goal became how to build systems …

Online Cyber-Physical Neural Network Model For Real-Time Hybrid Simulation, Faisal Nissar Malik, Liang Cao, James Ricles, Austin Downey

Faculty Publications

Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) is an experimental testing methodology that divides a structural system into an analyticaland an experimental substructure. The analytical substructure is modeled numerically, and the experimental substructure ismodeled physically in the laboratory. The two substructures are kinematically linked together at their interface degrees of freedom,and the coupled equations of motion are solved in real-time to obtain the response of the complete system. A key challenge inapplying RTHS to large or complex structures is the limited availability of physical devices, which makes it difficult to representall required experimental components simultaneously. The present study addresses this challenge by introducing …
