Overview: Describes the newest developments of this exciting field.Includes supplementary material: .We live in a noisy world! In all applications (telecommunications, hands-free communications, recording, human-machine interfaces, etc.) that require at least one microphone, the signal of interest is usually contaminated by noise and reverberation. As a result, the microphone signal has to be "cleaned" with digital signal processing tools before it is played out, transmitted, or stored...This book is about speech enhancement. Different well-known and state-of-the-art methods for noise reductio

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-642-98512-6978-3-642-99326-8

Overview: One of the first books on Spring Framework 3..First book to cover Spring Persistence technologies found in Spring 3..Covers other hot and/or popular Java Persistence solutions like Hibernate (over 4 m.Persistence is an important set of techniques and technologies for accessing and transacting data, and ensuring that data is mobile regardless of specific applications and contexts. In Java development, persistence is a key factor in enterprise, e-commerce, and other transaction-oriented applications. ..Today, the Spring framework is the leading out-of-the-box solution for enterprise Ja

Overview: Explosive growth in the size of spatial databases has highlighted the need for spatial data mining techniques to mine the interesting but implicit spatial patterns within these large databases.This book explores computational structure of the exact and approximate spatialautoregression (SAR) model solutions. Estimation of the parameters of the SAR model using Maximum Likelihood (ML) theory is computationally very expensive because of the need to compute the logarithm of the determinant (log-det) of a large matrix in the log-likelihood function.The second part of the book introduces t

Overview: Statistik-dieses Wort weckt unangenehme Erinnerungen an Tabellen, unüber­ schaubares Zahlenmaterial und lästige Fragebogen. Auch die Erinnerung an die Geschichte von der Steigerungsform der Lüge, nach der es drei Arten der Lüge gibt: einfache Lüge, gemeine Lüge, Statistik, wird geweckt. Und dennoch kann man sich der Qualität der Argumentation nicht entziehen, wenn Zahlen, mit dem Anschein des unumstößlich Faktischen verbunden, in die Dis~ussion geworfen werden. Allgemein wird anerkannt, daß exakte Kenntnis des Wirtschafts-und Gesellschaftslel;>ens weitgehend auf statistischen Erhebun

Overview: Dieser Band, der Leopold von Wiese zu seinem 75. Geburtstage auf den Gabentisch gelegt wird, möchte an eine alte Tradition anknüpfen, nämlich eine "Festschrift" zu einem Sammelwerke zu gestalten, dem eine bestimmte Thematik zugrunde liegt; er möchte nicht den heute oft beschrittenen Weg gehen, einzelne Beiträge zu einem Werk zu vereinigen, deren innerer Zusammenhang meistens nur ein sehr lockerer ist. Gewiß: ein solches Vorgehen wäre in unserem Falle mehr als gerechtfertigt gewesen; denn die Forschungsarbeit wie auch die Lehrtätigkeit Leopold von Wieses erstrecken sich über eine Viel

Overview: The simple and logical content provides a comprehensive yet readable resource for the surgical intensivistWe are honored to present the second edition of Surgical Intensive Care Medicine. Our first edition was considered to be an important contribution to the critical care literature and received excellent reviews from Critical Care Medicine, Chest, and Anesthesiology. In the second edition, the basic organization of the book remains unchanged, being composed of 60 carefully selected chapters divided into 11 sections. The book begins with general topics in primary intensive care, suc

Overview: This book gives a comprehensive overview of activities currently under way to produce, collect and compile radiation data as needed for the various types of solar energy applications in Europe. Contributions have been made by all contractors of the Commission of the European Communities, in par­ ticular the Meteorological Offices of the EC member countries. They all re­ ported on their work at a meeting which was held in October 1982 in Brussels and of which these are the proceedings. The Commission‘ work in this area follows a detailed strategy which was published earlier as part of

Overview: Provides a comprehensive framework for smart service innovation in multi-actor settings.Covers latest research results based on insights from real-world projects.Introduces new approach for design-int.This book aims to improve the understanding of smart service innovations. It contributes to evidence-based knowledge about service systems engineering and its embedding in service ecosystems, in particular how existing reference process models can be extended by considering actors, roles, activities and methods. At the same time, it aims to stimulate discussions on how methods from diff

Overview: 204 Pure app!. geophys. , P. Reasenberg demonstrated that in Cascadia earthquakes are four times more likely to be foreshocks than in California. Many speakers emphasized the regional differences in all earthquake parameters, and it was generally understood that basic models of the earthquake occurrence must be modified for regional application. The idea that the focal mechanisms of foreshocks may differ from that of background activity was advocated by Y. Chen and identified by M. Ohtake as possibly the thus far most neglected property of foreshocks, in efforts to identify them. S.

Overview: A group of geoscientists from a number of NATO countries met under NATO sponsorship in Copenhagen on February 27 and 28, 1978, and formulated a proposal entitled "EVOLUTION OF THE GREENLAND­ ICELAND-FAEROE-SCOTLAND RIDGE, A KEY AREA IN MARINE GEOSCIENCE". This part of the North Atlantic Ocean is of particular interest because of its anomalously shallow bathymetry which has profoundly influenced many aspects of the evolution of the North Atlantic. The proposed investigations therefore aim to study the deep crustal structure including relationship of continental and oceanic crust, hist
