This book was released on 2007 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A random or stochastic process is a mathematical model for a phenomenon that evolves in an unpredictable manner. If prior information on the signal structure or statistics is available, the accuracy of the statistical signal processing significantly increases by an appropriate exploitation of such prior. We investigate three kinds of prior: spectral, spatial, and statistical information. First, we investigate the structural representation of audio signals. The proposed model exploits both the sparsity and the time-frequency correlation of the audio signal. We have considered the application of our model to audio enhancement and separation. Simulations reveal that the proposed approach is suitable for the analysis of music and speech signals and outperforms the classic matching pursuit schemes in terms of separation accuracy and robustness. Then, we investigate blind dereverberation of audio signals. A multichannel linear prediction based equalizer is proposed, exploiting spatial, temporal, and spectral diversities. Simulations show that the proposed equalizer outperforms the classic beamformer. The last part of the thesis focuses on Bayesian parameter estimation. Classical Bayesian approaches lead to useful MSE reduction, but they also introduce a bias (often annoying for several applications). We introduce the concept of Component-Wise Conditionally Unbiased parameter estimation, in which unbiasedness is forced for one parameter at a time. The more general introduction of the CWCU concept is motivated by LMMSE channel estimation, for which the implications of the concept are illustrated in various ways. Application to mobile localization is investigated in more details.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to Tourism is the essential guide to the tourism industry. It provides a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to all facets of tourism including: the history of tourism; factors influencing the tourism industry; tourism in developing countries; sustainable tourism; forecasting future trends. Tourism has changed radically in recent years with the onset of many technological and economic changes and an ever increasing concern for the environment. This book provides a down-to-earth introduction to this complex and multi-faceted industry. This invaluable introduction is written for all students of tourism and all those involved in the industry who want to know more about the structure, component activities and environment within which they work.
Download or read book Treatise on Musical Objects written by Pierre Schaeffer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Treatise on Musical Objects is regarded as Pierre Schaeffer’s most important work on music and its relationship with technology. Schaeffer expands his earlier research in musique concrète to suggest a methodology of working with sounds based on his experiences in radio broadcasting and the recording studio. Drawing on acoustics, physics, and physiology, but also on philosophy and the relationship between subject and object, Schaeffer’s essay summarizes his theoretical and practical work in music composition. Translators Christine North and John Dack present an important book in the history of ideas in Europe that will resonate far beyond electroacoustic music.
Download or read book Watsuji Tetsuro s Rinrigaku written by Tetsur? Watsuji and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Watsuji Tetsuro's Rinrigaku (literally, the principles that allow us to live in friendly community) has been regarded as the definitive study of Japanese ethics for half a century. In Japan, ethics is the study of human being or ningen. As an ethical being, one negates individuality by abandoning one's independence from others. This selflessness is the true meaning of goodness.
Download or read book Fundamentals of Human Computer Interaction written by Andrew F. Monk and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Human-Computer Interaction aims to sensitize the systems designer to the problems faced by the user of an interactive system. The book grew out of a course entitled ""The User Interface: Human Factors for Computer-based Systems"" which has been run annually at the University of York since 1981. This course has been attended primarily by systems managers from the computer industry. The book is organized into three parts. Part One focuses on the user as processor of information with studies on visual perception; extracting information from printed and electronically presented text; and human memory. Part Two on the use of behavioral data includes studies on how and when to collect behavioral data; and statistical evaluation of behavioral data. Part Three deals with user interfaces. The chapters in this section cover topics such as work station design, user interface design, and speech communication. It is hoped that this book will be read by systems engineers and managers concerned with the design of interactive systems as well as graduate and undergraduate computer science students. The book is also suitable as a tutorial text for certain courses for students of Psychology and Ergonomics.

Download or read book Current Research in Bilingualism and Bilingual Education written by Piotr Romanowski and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers research topics in bilingual education, language policies, language contact, identity of bilingual speakers, early bilingualism, heritage languages, and more, and provides an overview of current theory, research and practice in the field of bilingualism. Each chapter is written by a specialist in the field. Part I focuses on the numerous and heterogeneous relations between languages as well as the implications arising from bilingual speech processing. In Part II, a series of contextualized studies on bilingual classrooms are presented, with diverse research designs applied in different educational settings being a key feature of these studies. Part III bridges theory and practice by offering an insight into mono- and multilingual school settings showcasing examples of educational institutions where bilingualism successfully soared and depicts the needs related to language education.
