Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bandwidth extension (BWE) refers to various methods that increase either the perceived or real frequency spectrum (bandwidth) of audio signals. Such frequency extension is desirable if at some point the frequency content of the audio signal has been reduced, as can happen for example during recording, transmission or reproduction. This volume, significant in dealing exclusively with BWE, discusses applications to music and speech and places particular emphasis on signal processing techniques. Presents an all-encompassing approach to BWE by covering theory, applications and algorithms Reviews important concepts in psychoacoustics, signal processing and loudspeaker theory Develops the theory and implementation of BWE applied to low-frequency sound reproduction, perceptually coded audio, speech and noise abatement Includes a BWE patent overview Audio Bandwidth Extension pulls together recent developments in to a single volume and presents a coherent framework to the reader. Such an approach will have instant appeal to engineers, specialists, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of audio, signal processing and speech.

Download or read book High-Power Piezoelectrics and Loss Mechanisms written by Kenji Uchino and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-09-09 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of the pioneers of "Piezoelectric Actuators", I have contributed to the commercialization of various products for over 45 years, including million-selling devices, micro-ultrasonic motors for smart-phone camera modules by Samsung Electromechanics, piezoelectric transformers for backlight inverters by Apple laptops, multilayer PZT actuators for diesel injection valves by Denso Corporation, and piezoelectric energy harvesting modules for Programable Air-Burst Munition by the US Army. During the development period for "piezoelectric actuators and transformers," I found that the bottleneck for device miniaturization was heat generation under a high-power drive condition. Thus, in parallel to the piezo-actuator developments, I have been developing various high-power density piezo-ceramic materials with the loss mechanism clarification. Hence, I considered that it was time to organize a textbook based on the previous studies, including my materials development philosophy to stimulate younger generations to reach to the energy density of up to 100 W/cm3 in the future. Increasing efficiency and saving energy and space (compactness) are one of the important approaches in this 21st-century "sustainable society." High-Power Piezoelectrics and Loss Mechanisims introduces the theoretical background of piezoelectrics, electromechanical phenomenology, loss mechanisms, practical materials, device designs, drive and characterization techniques, and typical applications, and looks forward to the future perspectives in this field. This book is NOT an overall review of this area, but it focuses on important and basic ideas under my development philosophy to understand how to design and develop high-power piezoelectric materials and devices. This textbook is designed for self-learning by the reader aided by the availability of: • Chapter Essentials – Summary for quick memory recovery • Check Points – Answers are provided in the Appendix • Example Problems – To enhance the reader’s understanding with full, detailed solutions • Chapter Problems – For the final exam or further consideration

Download or read book Policing & Firearms written by Clare Farmer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-31 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policing and firearms: it is a crucial relationship. Should police be routinely armed? If so, what restrictions should be imposed on the use of firearms? Where police are not routinely armed, there is still a need for specialist armed police: how do these units operate, and are they effective? This ground-breaking edited book explores the nexus between policing and firearms with a genuinely international focus. Contributors from Ireland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Mexico, the United States, Venezuela, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada explore the issues from a range of perspectives, including human rights, militarization, police legitimacy, and the risks police firearms pose to the community and to police themselves. This thought-provoking collection is an indispensable resource for law enforcement policymakers and students of policing and criminal justice.

This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002: A collection of criminal justice researchers select a number of books, documents, papers and such like, that they believe to be important and influential in the field of criminal justice research. Each author has written a description and critique of the selected item and have discussed the impact of each of them with regards to formulating or developing their own research. The authors also speculate onb the direction they believe the area in question might be expected to develop in the first 10-15 years of the 21st century. The definition of crimnal justice, in this book, is a broad one, and that is reflected in the combination of criminologists, psychologists, sociologists and experts on social and public administration. In all the book attempts to examine the inspirations, influences and thought processes which underpin criminal justice research efforts.

Book excerpt: This study focused on the level of force used by police officers relative to the amount of suspect resistance, referred to as the force factor. Data were obtained from police departments in Miami, Florida, and Eugene, Oregon. In the Miami data set, the level of suspect resistance was assessed according to four categories: no resistance, passive resistance, active resistance, and assault of police officer. The suspect being Hispanic was the strongest factor in the force factor model. Female suspects received less force relative to level of resistance than male suspects, while black suspects received the most force relative to level of resistance. The relationship between the force factor and the suspect being under the influence of alcohol or drugs during the encounter with the police was statistically significant. Female police officers used significantly less force for a given level of resistance than male police officers. Police officer injury was more likely to occur when less force was used relative to suspect resistance. In the Oregon data set, the level of suspect resistance was also assessed according to four categories: no resistance, slight resistance, moderate or high resistance, and violent or explosive resistance. The suspect's mental status at the time of the incident was the strongest factor in the force factor model. Suspects using minimal effort had the most force used against them relative to level of resistance. Violent incidents had the lowest levels of force relative to level of resistance, suspects with above average fitness received lower levels of force relative to level of resistance than suspects with average to poor physical fitness, and female suspects had less force used against them relative to level of resistance than male suspects. Further development of the force factor model is recommended.

Book excerpt: In Forces of Influence, Fred Ende and Meghan Everette contend that schoolwide success starts with relationships—not only between students and adults, but also among all adults up and down the education hierarchy. It's by leveraging these relationships that educators can influence outcomes and effect real change. But how can educators make sure they exert their influence astutely and sensitively, navigating education's priorities and pressures while keeping their work focused on the mission? This thought-provoking book helps readers navigate this tricky terrain, introducing four "forces," or levels, of influence and explaining how educators can use them to support one another's practice and push for positive outcomes for all learners. The authors * Explore each of the four forces—the pull, the push, the shove, and the nudge—and explain why they work and what research shows about their effectiveness. * Introduce the Forces of Influence Leadership Matrix (FILM), a framework that identifies how the four forces connect and helps readers determine when to use which force, with whom, and how. * Provide advice on how to course-correct by switching and layering the forces for positive results—and how to recover from setbacks. * Offer copious tools to support this work, including role-plays, self-assessments, templates, and questions to spur reflection and action taking. Everything educators do requires them to build, sustain, and leverage relationships. With this guide, they no longer have to wing it.
