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

History, Historians and the Many Earlier Wright College Shapers of New England's and of Australia's Self-perception
No full textBy a series of peculiarly fruitful juxtapositions of events, persons and much early and long-ongoing stimulus, the numerous Wright College-focussed historians and interpreters of Australian culture must be recognized as constituting one of the great forces in the rise of ‘New England’s University College’ from its impact in the later years of the twentieth century. ‘History’ as taught and studied at New England had, from 1938, had slowly moved from J.P. Belshaw’s impressive work in closely focused regional economic history, E/J. Tapp’s philosophical approaches and C.M. Williams’ studies of 17th century England to an array of European or Ancient World courses with but little recognition, - let alone exploration- as yet of the greater and emergent Australian experience or identity
Entrainment and detrainment rates from the piv measurements at the top of laboratory analogs of stratocumulus and cumulus clouds
No full textWe analyze mixing at the top of laboratory analogs of convective clouds: stratocumulus and cumulus to investigate entrainment of environmental air into the cloud. We retrieve two components of air velocity using Particle Image Velocimetry technique. Suitable image processing allows to determine cloud–clear air interface. Using velocity differences between cloudy and clear sides of the interface we calculate entrainment / detrainment rates
Vortex Dynamics in The Transitional and Turbulent Wake of 6:1 Prolate Spheroid at 45-deg incidence angle
No full textThe incompressible flow past a 6:1 prolate spheroid with an inclination angle of 45o at Re = 3,000 has been studied by means of direct numerical simulations (DNS). The Reynolds number is based on the inflow velocity and minor-axis length. The preliminary results presented here are focused mainly on vortex dynamics and vortical structures in the wake. The wake behind this configuration starts almost symmetric but is soon strongly deflected and bent as it evolves to the intermediate wake. A pair of unequal-strength vortices dominates the intermediate wake, of which one exhibits the shape of a long vortex tube while the other rapidly breaks down into turbulent-like vortical structures
Reimagining Subversive Masculinities in J.P. Donleavy's The Ginger Man and John Broderick's The Pilgrimage
No full textThis article investigates two banned novels, J.P. Donleavy’s The Ginger Man (1955) and John Broderick's The Pilgrimage (1961), to explore how the mid-century Irish novel explored themes of masculinity in opposition to official Church and State teachings on postcolonial Irish masculinity. In its analysis, the article focuses on each novel’s use of narrative and style to articulate thematic concerns over the rigidity of the expectations of mid-twentieth-century Irish manhood. Moreover, it demonstrates how both authors construct models of masculinity that reject contemporaneous teachings on an idealised masculinity and expose the contradictions that are inherent in such teachings. The article's examination of these works showcases how both novels sought to complicate these dogmatic images of masculinity, and were ultimately banned by the Censorship Board as a result
Experimental characterisation of large scale structures in a high Reynolds number turbulent boundary layer
No full textA very large field of view (4δ x 1δ) with a good spatial resolution owing to the use of four 2k x 2k pixel cameras was conducted in a flat plate boundary layer at two Reynolds numbers (Reθ ≈7,500 and 20,000). Comparing the flow statistics with previously obtained hot-wire data under similar flow conditions show good agreement. The goal of this experiment is to detect and characterise the large scale motions which develop in the log region of a high Reynolds number turbulent boundary layer
