Use of dolphin-like pulses to enhance target discrimination and reduce clutter
No full textBuilding on the earlier success of using twin inverted pulses to supress bubble scatter and so reduce clutter when detecting targets in bubbly water (proven in ship wakes in field trials), the same nonlinear processing scheme is generalized to make use of dolphin-like pulses. Their performance in reducing clutter and enhancing target discrimination is demonstrated in the laboratory, and the opportunities for using the same scheme to improve the detection of hidden electronic devices or semiconductor devices by radar are discussed
Re-sounding images: sound and image in an audiovisual age
No full textThis dissertation examines the evolving articulation of sound and image in contemporary culture, with particular reference to film. It argues that sound and image have undergone a historical machined separation, followed by a machined fusion or recombination. The machined fusion of sound and image has enabled the creation of soundful images, which are more than simply the sum of their parts. Through the infusion of sound, images are now routinely reinforced with a performed sense of presence, where they are made to sound more real, more powerful, more authentic. Through association with the image, sounds are reinforced to the extent of becoming 'realer than real'. By tracing the history of sound and image from their initial machined separation to their subsequent machined fusion, it will be argued that a new relationship has been created that has shaped an influential new mode of communication and perception

Zero-Hopf bifurcation in a Chua system
No full textAgraïments: The first author is supported by the FAPESP-BRAZIL grants 2010/18015-6, 2012/05635-1, and 2013/25828-1. The second author is partially supported by FEDER-UNAB-10-4E-378, and a CAPES grant 88881. 030454/2013-01 do Programa CSF-PVE.A zero-Hopf equilibrium is an isolated equilibrium point whose eigenvalues are ±ωi ̸= 0 and 0. In general for a such equilibrium there is no theory for knowing when it bifurcates some small-amplitude limit cycles moving the parameters of the system. Here we study the zero-Hopf bifurcation using the averaging theory. We apply this theory to a Chua system depending on 6 parameters, but the way followed for studying the zero-Hopf bifurcation can be applied to any other di erential system in dimension 3 or higher. In this paper rst we show that there are three 4-parameter families of Chua systems exhibiting a zero-Hopf equilibrium. After, by using the averaging theory, we provide su cient conditions for the bifurcation of limit cycles from these families of zero-Hopf equilibria. From one family we can prove that 1 limit cycle bifurcates, and from the other two families we can prove that 1, 2 or 3 limit cycles bifurcate simultaneously
Chinese education in the novel by A. Chua Battle hymn of the tiger mother
No full textChinese culture and tradition stand in direct opposition to American and European cultures. Chinese children must live according to the principles of metaconfucianism from an early age. Failure to do so threatens social ostracism.
Amy Chua in her autobiographical novel Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother describes the education of her two daughters living in America according to the principles present in China. The educational methods used by Chua are considered controversial by western parents. The author made an attempt to explain the motives of Asian mothers.

A Tribute to the Life and Work of Jess Chua
No full textJess Chua was a leading scholar in the field of family business and a major contributor to Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice both as an author and editor. His significant contributions to the field were acknowledged by the Web of Science, which listed him among the world\u27s most highly cited researchers in Economics and Business in 2017, 2019, and 2020. In this memorial editorial, we pay tribute to him by discussing his influence on the field through his academic work, mentoring, long-term collaborations with other scholars, and the kindness he and his wife, Eva Kan, showed to his colleagues and students
