 Free Download Sequence Detection for High-Density Storage Channels by Jaekyun Moon , L. Richard Carley English | PDF | 1992 | 170 Pages | ISBN : 0792392647 | 9.6 MB Magnetic data storage can be viewed as a data communication system. This is not a sUlprising view, considering that data storage is essentially the transfer of data between different times. The past decade has indeed seen rapidly growing interest in applying improved coding and detection techniques to magnetic data storage, a traditional approach to enhance performance of communication channels. Since its inception in the 1930's, the magnetic recording industry has achieved impressive progress in data capacity. This has been made possible mainly by innovations and advances in heads and media design. However, as the demand for higher storage capacity continues in the modem information era, a need arises to explore other possibilities to help meet the ever-growing demand. Advanced coding and detection are one such possibility, providing an efficient, cost-effective means to increase data capacity. In fact, with the advent of modem Ie technology which has enabled real-time implementation of increasingly complex signal processing algorithms, advanced coding and detection are rapidly becoming a major issue in the development of improved data storage products. While there have been remarkable advances in recent years in the areas of both coding and detection for data storage, this book focuses only on data detection, or the processing of readback waveforms to reproduce stored data, in conjunction with the traditional modulation coding method called run length-limited or (d,k) coding.  Free Download Reliability Evaluation of Engineering Systems: Concepts and Techniques, Second Edition by Roy Billinton , Ronald N. Allan English | PDF | 1992 | 469 Pages | ISBN : 0306440636 | 35.1 MB In response to new developments in the field, practical teaching experience, and readers' suggestions, the authors of the warmly received Reliablity Evaluation of Engineering Systems have updated and extended the work-providing extended coverage of fault trees and a more complete examination of probability distribution, among other things-without disturbing the original's concept, structure, or style.  Free Download Patricia Yancey Martin, "Rape Work: Victims, Gender, and Emotions in Organization and Community Context" English | 2005 | ISBN: 0415927757, 0415927749 | EPUB | pages: 300 | 5.0 mb Despite the proliferation of rape crisis centers and other improvements in the treatment of rape victims over the past 20 years, many victims still find themselves the victims of what has been called a "second rape" by doctors, lawyers, judges, police, and administrators that process them. This book takes a critical look at the organizations and officials that process rape victims to see how the structure of their respective organizations often prevent them from providing responsive care.  Free Download Quantitative Equity Portfolio Management, Second Edition: An Active Approach to Portfolio Construction and Management by Ludwig Chincarini, Daehwan Kim English | November 1, 2022 | ISBN: 1264268920 | 854 pages | PDF | 41 Mb Construct and manage a high-performance equity portfolio using today's most powerful quantitative methods  Free Download Princeton Review AP English Language & Composition Prep, 2023: 5 Practice Tests + Complete Content Review + Strategies & Techniques (College Test Preparation) by The Princeton Review English | August 16, 2022 | ISBN: 0593450760 | 336 pages | PDF (Converted) | 42 Mb EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO SCORE A PERFECT 5!Ace the2023 AP English Language & Composition Exam with this comprehensive study guide-including 5full-length practicetests with complete explanations, thoroughcontent reviews, targeted strategies for every section of the exam, and access to online extras.  Free Download Pricing with Confidence: 10 Ways to Stop Leaving Money on the Table by Mark R. Burton, Reed K. Holden English | February 25, 2008 | ISBN: 0470197579 | 197 pages | PDF | 2.90 Mb Bad pricing is a great way to destroy your company's value, revenue, and profits. With ten simple rules, this book shows you how to deliver both healthy profit margins and robust revenue growth while kicking the dreaded discounting habit. The authors destroy the conventional wisdom that you have to trade margins for revenues and show you how to fully exploit the value your company offers customers. This is a proven plan for increasing sales without sacrificing profits.  Free Download Philosophy@Work: Reflections from the world's leading business thinkers by Anders Indset English | 2022 | ISBN: 1800181280 | 239 pages | PDF | 1.56 Mb For decades business management teams have learned lessons and absorbed wisdom from an array of disciplines - psychology, sociology, biology and more - but philosophy, and the wisdom it embodies, has long been overlooked. World-renowned business philosopher Anders Indset wants to correct this oversight through his mission to introduce practical philosophy into every organisation.  Free Download New Economic Statecraft: China, the United States and the European Union English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032397918 | 149 Pages | PDF (True) | 2 MB This book provides insights on the art of governing a state and managing its external relations from a wealth-power logic. It looks at "economic statecraft", which consists of wealth production, wealth mobilization, and wealth-power conversion by a state.  Free Download Multidimensional Processing of Video Signals by Giovanni L. Sicuranza, Sanjit K. Mitra English | PDF | 1992 | 191 Pages | ISBN : 0792392280 | 22.4 MB A color time-varying image can be described as a three-dimensional vector (representing the colors in an appropriate color space) defined on a three-dimensional spatiotemporal space. In conventional analog television a one-dimensional signal suitable for transmission over a communication channel is obtained by sampling the scene in the vertical and tem poral directions and by frequency-multiplexing the luminance and chrominance informa tion. In digital processing and transmission systems, sampling is applied in the horizontal direction, too, on a signal which has been already scanned in the vertical and temporal directions or directly in three dimensions when using some solid-state sensor. As a conse quence, in recent years it has been considered quite natural to assess the potential advan tages arising from an entire multidimensional approach to the processing of video signals. As a simple but significant example, a composite color video signal, such as the conven tional PAL or NTSC signal, possesses a three-dimensional spectrum which, by using suitable three-dimensional filters, permits horizontal sampling at a rate which is less than that re quired for correctly sampling the equivalent one-dimensional signal. More recently it has been widely recognized that the improvement of the picture quality in current and advanced television systems requires well-chosen signal processing algorithms which are multidimen sional in nature within the demanding constraints of a real-time implementation.  Free Download Motion Analysis and Image Sequence Processing by M. Ibrahim Sezan, Reginald L. Lagendijk English | PDF | 1993 | 499 Pages | ISBN : 0792393295 | 47.5 MB An image or video sequence is a series of two-dimensional (2-D) images sequen tially ordered in time. Image sequences can be acquired, for instance, by video, motion picture, X-ray, or acoustic cameras, or they can be synthetically gen erated by sequentially ordering 2-D still images as in computer graphics and animation. The use of image sequences in areas such as entertainment, visual communications, multimedia, education, medicine, surveillance, remote control, and scientific research is constantly growing as the use of television and video systems are becoming more and more common. The boosted interest in digital video for both consumer and professional products, along with the availability of fast processors and memory at reasonable costs, has been a major driving force behind this growth. Before we elaborate on the two major terms that appear in the title of this book, namely motion analysis and image sequence processing, we like to place them in their proper contexts within the range of possible operations that involve image sequences. In this book, we choose to classify these operations into three major categories, namely (i) image sequence processing, (ii) image sequence analysis, and (iii) visualization. The interrelationship among these three categories is pictorially described in Figure 1 below in the form of an "image sequence triangle". |
