Números curiosos: o abominável 666
No full text[...] Este número, identificado no Apocalipse de São João com a Besta ou o Anticristo, foi ao longo dos tempos o preferido de muitos profetas e numerólogos para as suas interpretações. Seguem-se alguns dos argumentos utilizados para justificar essas leituras apocalípticas. [...] Contam-se vários casos curiosos ao longo da nossa história, em que se tentou identificar algumas personalidades com a figura da Besta, como foi o caso de Napoleão, Hitler e Saddam Hussein. O procedimento adotado baseia-se nos seguintes passos: atribuir valores numéricos às letras de um determinado alfabeto; considerar o nome da pessoa escrito nesse alfabeto; adicionar os valores numéricos correspondentes às letras que compõem esse nome; e verificar se o resultado obtido é igual a 666. Vejamos um exemplo muito simples: se utilizarmos o nosso alfabeto (de 26 letras) e a correspondência A=100; B=101; C=102; …, a soma dos números associados às letras da palavra HITLER é igual a 107+108+119+111+104+117=666. [...] Vejamos algumas curiosidades relacionadas com a aversão ao número 666, designada por Hexacosioihexecontahexafobia ou simplesmente Trihexafobia. Por exemplo, numa cidade do estado de Luisiana, nos Estados Unidos da América, chegou-se ao ponto de mudar o indicativo telefónico da zona, que era o 666, para que a cidade não ficasse associada à figura da Besta. Ainda nos Estados Unidos, durante muito tempo persistiu a polémica em torno da mudança de nome da auto-estada US 666, conhecida como “auto-estrada para o inferno”. A superstição numerológica aliada a uma elevada taxa de mortalidade causada por acidentes rodoviários convenceu algumas pessoas de que esta via estava amaldiçoada. Em 2003, a sua designação acabou mesmo por ser alterada para US 491. A verdade é que, desde então, o número de acidentados diminuiu de forma significativa… o que provavelmente se ficou a dever às obras de melhoria da estrada que foram implementadas desde a alteração do nome.

Voice Compression and Communications: Principles and Applications for Fixes and Wireless Channels
No full textUp-to-date, expert coverage of topics in wireless voice communications Voice communication is the most important facet of mobile radio service. Even when the predicted surge of wireless data and Internet services becomes a reality, voice will remain the most natural means of human communication. Voice Compression and Communications details issues in wireless voice communications and treats compression, channel coding, and wireless transmission as a joint subject. Part I covers background material, whereas Part II provides detailed information on both proprietary and standardized analysis-by-synthesis codecs, including the speech codecs of virtually all existing wireline-based and wireless systems. Parts III and IV discuss mainly research-based wideband, audio, as well as very low-rate schemes likely to find their way into future standards. Voice Compression and Communications describes fundamental concepts in a non-mathematical way early in the book for those with only a background knowledge of signal processing and communications. More advanced readers will find detailed discussions of theoretical principles, future concepts, and solutions to various specific wireless voice communications problems

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Tinjauan Terhadap Bilangan 666 Dalam Wahyu 13
No full textRoby Setiawan, Review of Numbers 666 In Revelation 13. The number 666 mentioned in Revelation 13 has been crowded into talks, but some interpretations of such numbers by some Christians are linked to certain trademark logos so that there is a tendency to impose the business of others by using these interpretations. The writer afraid that if the number 666 is interpreted literally, then Christianity would become superstitious religion, as some people are not happy with the number 4 or 13 because it is considered an unlucky number, in contrast they are very happy with the numbers 8 and 9, because it is considered to bring fortune which is durable. Therefore it is necessary to understand what is the number 666. To understand the meaning of the number 666, the writer makes a historical-theological review so as to obtain a background image related to the number 666 in Revelation 13. The results show that the number 666 is associated with gematria method, but for the writer, the interpretation of the number 666 using gematria method is not acceptable and still need to be tested more deeply so as not to lead to inaccurate allegations. While related to its context, the number 666 is closely related to the symbol as the Book of Revelation is full of symbols. The result of the contextual analysis of Revelation 13 then number 666 represents the human effort that seeks to equal God to achieve unlimited power, yet they fail. Roby Setiawan, Tinjauan Terhadap Bilangan 666 Dalam Wahyu 13. Bilangan 666 yang disebutkan dalam Wahyu 13 telah ramai menjadi pembicaraan, tetapi beberapa penafsiran terhadap bilangan tersebut oleh sebagain orang Kristen dikait-kaitkan dengan logo merek dagang tertentu sehingga ada kecenderungan menjatuhkan bisnis orang lain dengan menggunakan tafsiran tersebut. Penulis kuatir jika bilangan 666 ini ditafsirkan secara hurufiah, maka kekristenan akan menjadi agama tahyul, seperti yang dipercayai oleh sebagian orang yang tidak senang dengan angka 4 atau 13 karena dianggap angka sial, sebaliknya mereka sangat senang dengan angka 8 dan 9, karena dianggap membawa rejeki yang tahan lama. Oleh sebab itu perlu dipahami apa bilangan 666 tersebut. Untuk memahami makna bilangan 666, maka penulis melakukan tinjauan historis-teologis sehingga diperoleh gambaran latar belakang yang terkait dengan bilangan 666 dalam Wahyu 13. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa bilangan 666 dikaitkan dengan cara gematria, tetapi bagi penulis, penafsiran terhadap bilangan 666 dengan menggunakan gematria tidak dapat diterima dan masih perlu diuji dengan lebih dalam sehingga tidak menimbulkan dugaan-dugaan yang tidak tepat.Sementara berkaitan dengan konteksnya, bilangan 666 sangat berkaitan dengan simbol sebagai Kitab Wahyu penuh dengan simbol. Hasil dari analisis konteks Wahyu 13 maka bilangan 666 melambangkan usaha manusia yang berusaha menyamai Allah untuk mencapai kuasa yang tidak terbatas, namun mereka gagal
