Digital signal processing plays a central role in the development of modern communication and information processing systems. The theory and application of signal processing is concerned with the identification, modelling and utilisation of patterns and structures in a signal process. The observation signals are often distorted, incomplete and noisy and therefore noise reduction, the removal of channel distortion, and replacement of lost samples are important parts of a signal processing system. The fourth edition of Advanced Digital Signal Processing and Noise Reduction updates and extends the chapters in the previous edition and includes two new chapters on MIMO systems, Correlation and Eigen analysis and independent component analysis. The wide range of topics covered in this book include Wiener filters, echo cancellation, channel equalisation, spectral estimation, detection and removal of impulsive and transient noise, interpolation of missing data segments, speech enhancement and noise/interference in mobile communication environments. This book provides a coherent and structured presentation of the theory and applications of statistical signal processing and noise reduction methods. Two new chapters on MIMO systems, correlation and Eigen analysis and independent component analysis Comprehensive coverage of advanced digital signal processing and noise reduction methods for communication and information processing systems Examples and applications in signal and information extraction from noisy data Comprehensive but accessible coverage of signal processing theory including probability models, Bayesian inference, hidden Markov models, adaptive filters and Linear prediction models Advanced Digital Signal Processing and Noise Reduction is an invaluable text for postgraduates, senior undergraduates and researchers in the fields of digital signal processing, telecommunications and statistical data analysis.

Anlagenplanung. Von der Anfrage bis zur Abnahme
Dieses Buch befasst sich mit der faszinierenden Vielfalt an Aktivitaten, chronologisch beschrieben, die bei der Planung, Errichtung und Inbetriebsetzung verfahrenstechnischer Anlagen anfallen und verdeutlicht die prinzipiellen Vorgehensweisen und Zusammenhange. Verfahrensingenieuren wird heute neben fachlicher Kompetenz ein immer hoheres Ma? an 'Soft Skills' (Teamfahigkeit, Kommunikationsfahigkeit und Sprachkenntnisse) abverlangt. Vor dem Hintergrund des stark interdisziplinaren Charakters verfahrenstechnischer Projekte kommt der Kommunikationsfahigkeit zwischen den am Projekt beteiligten Disziplinen (Verfahrenstechnikern, Chemikern, Physikern, Bauingenieuren, Architekten, Elektrotechnikern, Leittechnikern, Kaufleuten und Juristen) eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Zur Vermittlung des spezifischen Fachvokabulars sind hierin viele wichtige Begriffe auch in englischer Sprache angegeben. Um dem durch den internationalen Wettbewerb im Anlagenbau hervorgerufenen enormen Preisdruck Rechnung zu tragen, wurden neben den technischen Aspekten auch die kaufmannischen Belange aus Sicht des Projektingenieurs ('Claims Management' und Vertragsgestaltung) behandelt. Aufgrund der ungeheuren Komplexitat der Aktivitaten lassen sich Fehler trotz sorgfaltigster Planung und unter Zuhilfenahme modernster rechnergestutzter Planungsinstrumente, wie CAD-Systeme etc., nie ganz vermeiden. Viele mogliche Fehler sind anhand von Beispielen aus der Praxis beschrieben. – eine nutzliche Hilfe fur ALLE in der Anlagenplanung beschaftigten Fachdisziplinen –
The Learning Self. Understanding the Potential for Transformation
Praise for The Learning Self «In this age of self-help, the 'self' is a term thrown around with abandon. For educators, the notion of self-directed learning is a key concept. Yet the notion of self is deeply problematic, even contentious. The world has needed a book that deftly and accessibly takes the idea of the self and looks at it in a sympathetic but critical way. Mark Tennant has written that book. It is a highly readable and fascinating deconstruction of this key idea that will be appreciated by all helping professionals.»—Stephen Brookfield, Distinguished University Professor, University of St. Thomas, Minneapolis-St. Paul «An excellent contribution to the field! This is a clearly written text that takes the reader far beyond much contemporary work in psychology and learning. It opens up new ways of thinking about the learning self and provides a significant contribution to transformative learning theory. This is a book that should be read by every student of psychology, learning, and the self.»—Peter Jarvis, professor emeritus of continuing education, University of Surrey, United Kingdom
Multifrequency Electron Paramagnetic Resonance. Theory and Applications
Filling the gap for a systematic, authoritative, and up-to-date review of this cutting-edge technique, this book covers both low and high frequency EPR, emphasizing the importance of adopting the multifrequency approach to study paramagnetic systems in full detail by using the EPR method. In so doing, it discusses not only the underlying theory and applications, but also all recent advances – with a final section devoted to future perspectives.
Mediated Cosmopolitanism. The World of Television News
Media power in the global era has to do with how people understand the world, their place in it, and their relation to the others who populate it. Making connections with distant places and people is the work of cosmopolitan imagination, which involves seeing the world through the eyes of others. In this book, Robertson engages with the growing literature on cosmopolitanism to address these issues, combining theoretical debates with an innovative empirical portal. Based on the analysis of over 2000 news reports broadcast on national and global channels and interviews with journalists and audience members, Mediated Cosmopolitanism illustrates that the same everyday stories about the world can take on different meanings in different cultures. It argues that if we are to understand how media actors may help people to make the connections that underpin a cosmopolitan outlook, attention must be paid to evidence that some actors may not, and that national broadcasters could be more active agents of cosmopolitanism than global channels. Accessibly written, the book will be essential reading for advanced undergraduate and masters students, particularly of media studies, but also of sociology, politics and international relations.
Numerical Analysis in Electromagnetics. The TLM Method
The aim of this book is to give a broad overview of the TLM (Transmission Line Matrix) method, which is one of the “time-domain numerical methods”. These methods are reputed for their significant reliance on computer resources. However, they have the advantage of being highly general. The TLM method has acquired a reputation for being a powerful and effective tool by numerous teams and still benefits today from significant theoretical developments. In particular, in recent years, its ability to simulate various situations with excellent precision, including complex materials, has been demonstrated. Application examples are included in the last two chapters of the book, enabling the reader to draw conclusions regarding the performance of the implemented techniques and, at the same time, to validate them. Contents 1. Basis of the TLM Method: the 2D TLM Method. 2. 3D Nodes. 3. Introduction of Discrete Elements and Thin Wires in the TLM Method. 4. The TLM Method in Matrix Form and the Z Transform. Appendix A. Development of Maxwell’s Equations using the Z Transform with a Variable Mesh. Appendix B. Treatment of Plasma using the Z Transform for the TLM Method.

As a result, chemists learn how to understand and predict molecular structures and reactivity. Authored by a renowned expert with numerous publications and an excellent track record in research and teaching, this is a useful source for graduate students and researchers working in the field of organic synthesis, physical chemistry, biochemistry, and crystallography, while equally serving as supplementary reading for courses on stereochemistry, organic synthesis, or crystallography.
Wenn das Gelbe vom Ei blau macht. Spruche mit versteckter Chemie
Wer war nicht schon mal «Feuer und Flamme» fur eine neue Idee? Und musste sich sagen lassen: «Das ist doch alles kalter Kaffee!» Dann ist meistens «Hopfen und Malz verloren», und es nutzt auch nichts, dem Gesprachspartner «Honig ums Maul zu schmieren», denn er wird immer wieder ein «Haar in der Suppe» finden. Solche Spruche kennt jeder und benutzt sie, ohne zu wissen, was eigentlich dahintersteckt. Das ergibt ganz klar einen neuen Fall fur Georg Schwedt, den chemischen Detektiv, der immer wieder aufs Neue enthullt, wieviel Chemie in unserem Alltag steckt – und eben auch in unserer Alltagssprache. Seine Ermittlungsergebnisse stellt er uns exklusiv zur Verfugung: Von A wie «In den sauren Apfel bei?en» bis Z wie «Nicht aus Zucker sein» erfahren wir mehr uber Geschichte und Verwendung solcher Redensarten und lernen nebenbei eine Menge uber die darin versteckte Chemie.
