Advanced Signal Processing for Communication Systems consists of 20 contributions from researchers and experts. The first group of chapters deals with the audio and video processing for communications applications, including topics ranging from multimedia content delivery over the Internet, through the speech processing and recognition to recognition of non-speech sounds that can be attributed to the surrounding environment. The book also includes sections on applications of error control coding...
The Joint Institute for Aeronautics and Acoustics at Stanford University was established in October 1973 to provide an academic environment for long-term cooperative research between Stanford and NASA Ames Research Center. Since its establishment, the Institute has conducted theoretical and experimental work in the areas of aerodynamics, acoustics, fluid mechanics, flight dynamics, guidance and control, and human factors. This research has involved Stanford faculty, research associates, graduate...
Oscillations of gas and/or liquid columns in a flow channel can lead to various phenomena such as Stirling cycle heat engines, pulse tube refrigerators, as well as thermally induced gas oscillations like Sondhauss tube and Rijke tube. Although those phenomena may look different from each other, they can be universally described by the concepts of work flow and heat flow. Work flow stands for the acoustic power used in acoustics. Heat flow is the energy flow associated with the hydrodynamic trans...
Why Can't I Hear That?: Pitch and Frequency (Exploring Sound)
by Louise Spilsbury and Richard Spilsbury
This engaging book explains the concepts of pitch and frequency, with easy-to-understand examples and fun, hands-on experiments.
Foundations of Engineering Acoustics takes the reader on a journey from a qualitative introduction to the physical nature of sound, explained in terms of common experience, to mathematical models and analytical results which underlie the techniques applied by the engineering industry to improve the acoustic performance of their products. The book is distinguished by extensive descriptions and explanations of audio-frequency acoustic phenomena and their relevance to engineering, supported by a we...
Guided-Wave Optoelectronics (Inorganic Chemistry Concepts, #26) (Springer Series in Electronics and Photonics, #26)
In 1945, Dr. Ernst Weber founded, and was the first Director of, the Microwave Research Institute (MRI) at Polytechnic University (at that time named the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn). MRI gained worldwide recognition in the 50s and 60s for its research in electromagnetic theory, antennas and radiation, network theory and microwave networks, microwave components, and devices. It was also known through its series of 24 topical symposia and the widely distributed hardbound MRI Symposium Proce...
I.C.A.S.S.P.
This is the 24th conference in a series of conferences presenting work in experimental and theoretical signal processing, speech and acoustics."

Praktische Maschinenakustik (VDI-Buch)
by Roland Angert, Franz G Kollmann, and Thomas F Schsser
Praktische Probleme der Maschinenakustik sind komplex. Aus diesem Grund wird im vorliegenden Buch vorrangig die indirekte Kette der Schallabstrahlung behandelt. Es werden Berechnungsgleichungen, akustische Messverfahren und konstruktive Massnahmen zur Reduzierung der indirekten Abstrahlung von Gerauschen vorgestellt. Ausgehend von den im Inneren einer Maschine wirkenden dynamischen Kraften werden die Anregung von Koerperschall und dessen Abstrahlung von der Oberflache der Maschine behandelt.
Adventures of Sound (Graphic Science) (Graphic Library: Science)
by Emily Sohn
You have never had a science teacher like this! Max Axiom is a super-cool super scientist. Using powers he acquired in a freak accident, Max demonstrates and explains science in ways never before seen in the classroom. Whether shrinking down to the size of an ant or riding on a sound wave, Max can do whatever it takes to make science exciting and accessible.
Analog and Digital Signal Analysis (Modern Acoustics and Signal Processing)
by Frederic Cohen Tenoudji
This book provides comprehensive, graduate-level treatment of analog and digital signal analysis suitable for course use and self-guided learning. This expert text guides the reader from the basics of signal theory through a range of application tools for use in acoustic analysis, geophysics, and data compression. Each concept is introduced and explained step by step, and the necessary mathematical formulae are integrated in an accessible and intuitive way. The first part of the book explores ho...
Melodic Similarity (Computing in Musicology S., v. 11)
This volume covers a wide range of approaches to fundamental questions about music, such as: What is similarity in music? How do we recognize it? How can we program computers to recognize it? Topics include concepts and procedures, tools and applications, human melodic judgments, and online tools for melodic searching. The contributors draw on theoretical approaches and practical results from computer science and network models, folk-music archives and bibliographical collaborations, algorithmic...
Il presente volume offre una trattazione chiara, agile ed essenziale del rumore elettrico, argomento considerato generalmente oscuro e specialistico, senza eccessivi approfondimenti, ben leggibile e di impiego pratico. Copre gli aspetti essenziali della matematica e della fisica del rumore, la sua rappresentazione nei circuiti e la progettazione a basso rumore. Affronta anche la problematica dell'estrazione del segnale dal rumore senza trascurare l'argomento dei suoi impieghi utili. L'attenzio...
Principles and Applications of Room Acoustics - Volume 2
by Lothar Cremer and Helmut A. Muller
This book presents all aspects of situational awareness using acoustic signals. It starts by presenting the science behind understanding and interpretation of sound signals. The book then goes on to provide various signal processing techniques used in acoustics to find the direction of sound source, localize gunfire, track vehicles and detect people. The necessary mathematical background and various classification and fusion techniques are presented. The book contains majority of the things one...
