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

North Atlantic octocorals: Distribution, Ecology and Phylogenetics
No full textMost studies of deep-sea benthic fauna have concentrated on soft sediments with little sampling in rocky areas and even less on non-vent mid-ocean ridges and within submarine canyons, mainly as a result of difficulty accessing them. To assess the distribution and abundance of cold-water corals along an Axial Volcanic Ridges along the Mid-Atlantic ridge at 45oN 27oW, and within the Whittard Canyon along the Irish Margin video footage from the ROV Isis taken during a three scientific cruises was analysed. Samples were also taken to allow taxonomic and phylogentic work to be completed. Abundance of octocorals per 100 m transect were calculated and mapped using Arc GIS, with a maximum of 59 in the AVR compared to 855 within the Whittard Canyon. Thirty-one putative species were identified within the Whittard Canyon including some scleractinians, Eleven more than were found in along the AVR. Both locations indicated differences in coral assemblages dependent on substratum type with sedimented areas having increased occurrence of Pennatulidae and Chrysogorgiidae within the AVR and an increased abundance of Acanella and Radicipes upon sediment in comparison to rock within the Whittard Canyon. It is suggested that these differences in abundance and assemblage structure, both within and between the AVR and Whittard Canyon sites, reflects higher food availability as well as differences in substratum type on which coral larvae settle.Taxononomic investigations identified 4 new species from samples taken along the AVR, and are described within the thesis. Phylogenetic analysis of novel sequences obtained throughout this study, as well as published sequences, showed the presence of 3 clades A) Calcaxonia and some Alcyoniidae B) Holoaxonia and Pennatulacea C) some Alcyoniidae, Corallium and Paragorgia. When individual MSH1 and ND2 genes were combined the Pennatulacea separated out as a fourth clade. This was attributed to an increase in resolution when two or more genes are used for analysis. Results indicate that morphological taxonomy and molecular analysis are not in agreement and there is a requirement for some taxonomic revisions using molecular data to confirm species boundaries and help guide taxonomic decisions

Set-up under a natural wave
No full textField measurements from a cross shore array of two pressure sensors to measure waves and eight manometer tubes to measure mean water elevation are used to examine set-down/up across the surf zone. The manometer tubes are connected to differential pressure transducers onshore allowing continuous set- down/up measurements. Flume measurements of set-down/up are also examined. Measured values are compared with numeric set-up values incorporating roller theory describing wave breaking. The model has two free parameters, B representing the vertical fraction of the wave covered by the roller and psi a scaling parameter for wave steepness. Optimal values of both are chosen by model fitting. Inclusion of the surface roller improves the set-up model fit to both beach and flume measurementsApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited.Lieutenant , United States Navyhttp://archive.org/details/setupundernatura10945895
