B.A.Shenoi, "Introduction to Digital Signal Processing and Filter Design"
Wiley-Interscience | ISBN 0471464821 | 2005 Year | PDF | 2,38 Mb | 440 Pages
“ A practical and accessible guide to understanding digital signal processing
Introduction to Digital Signal Processing and Filter Design was developed and
fine-tuned from the author's twenty-five years of experience teaching classes in
digital signal processing. Following a step-by-step approach, students and
professionals quickly master the fundamental concepts and applications of
discrete-time signals and systems as well as the synthesis of these systems to
meet specifications in the time and frequency domains. Striking the right
balance between mathematical derivations and theory, the book features:
* Discrete-time signals and systems
* Linear difference equations
* Solutions by recursive algorithms
* Convolution
* Time and frequency domain analysis
* Discrete Fourier series
* Design of FIR and IIR filters
* Practical methods for hardware implementation
A unique feature of this book is a complete chapter on the use of a MATLAB(r)
tool, known as the FDA (Filter Design and Analysis) tool, to investigate the
effect of finite word length and different formats of quantization, different
realization structures, and different methods for filter design. This chapter
contains material of practical importance that is not found in many books used
in academic courses. It introduces students in digital signal processing to what
they need to know to design digital systems using DSP chips currently available
from industry.
With its unique, classroom-tested approach, Introduction to Digital Signal
Processing and Filter Design is the ideal text for students in electrical and
electronic engineering, computer science, and applied mathematics, and an
accessible introduction or refresher for engineers and scientists in the field.

Robert A. Baruch Bush, Joseph P. Folger, "The Promise of Mediation: The
Transformative Approach to Conflict"
Jossey-Bass | ISBN 0787974838 | 2004 Year | PDF | 1 Mb | 304 Pages
“ “The Promise of Mediation has been the single most significant influence on
the modern ADR movement. This brilliant work serves as a constant reminder that
mediation is about more than settling cases. Any serious student of the
mediation process would be enlightened by the imaginative approach taken by the
authors, and this new edition adds a wealth of new detail and substance about
the approach, drawn from a decade’s experience applying it in many different
contexts.”
--James Alfini, president and dean, South Texas College of Law, Houston, Texas
“The Promise of Mediation provides a road map for mediating workplace disputes
in corporate America. Rather than pushing parties to settle, transformative
mediation provides a process for employees to really work through their
differences?so they can move forward with a positive outlook and get back to
business productively. I saw firsthand how transformative mediation improved the
workplace culture at the United States Postal Service, and I have no doubt that
its potential for impact on corporate America is significant. A must-read for
human resource professionals, corporate counsel, and all managers committed to
improving the workplace through building greater understanding between
employees.”
--Cynthia J. Hallberlin, founder of REDRESS Mediation Program and former ADR
Counsel of the United States Postal Service
“Bush and Folger have once again provided the field with a book that inspires
and challenges us to reconnect with the reason many of us became involved with
mediation in the first place. In the ten years since Bush and Folger wrote The
Promise of Mediation, they have gained experience and grown in clarity regarding
transformative mediation, and they skillfully share this through the second
edition. It is clear that transformative mediation is here to stay and that it
will continue to have a profound and enriching impact on the field.”
--Sharon Press, director, Florida Dispute Resolution Center, and former
president, SPIDR
“In recent years, we have witnessed the erosion of the core values of mediation
in favor of service to the forces of professionalism and legalism. The first
edition of The Promise of Mediation served as a stunning reminder of the
potential of mediation to empower individuals and communities in conflict. I
credit Bush and Folger with reminding the field of its core values. Since the
first edition, they have worked tirelessly to support the development of a
practice congruent with these values. I believe that their efforts have produced
a new model of mediation, one that provides a unique role for the
mediator?especially the community ‘citizen mediator.’ When we use the
transformative model, we’re offering a form of help that no one else in society
is offering to our fellow citizens.”
--Thomas Wahlrab, member, board of directors, National Association for Community
Mediation, and coordinator, Dayton (Ohio) Mediation Center
"Being human is what human beings do. Yet our approaches to conflict analysis
and resolution often dehumanize conflicts, by marginalizing emotions and
avoiding discussion of painful histories. In this book, Bush and Folger help us
re-imagine mediation within a relational framework where emotions and painful
histories are essential features of the conflict transformation process. This
framework not only focuses on the connection between people, but alos favors
reflection on the parties' experiences, as human being. And by implication,
mediators, as human beings, are encouraged to trust the parties in terms of
their ability to move through the problems. Conflict is thus reframed as a
contribution to the development of interaction, reather than a feature of life
that needs 'management.' While this book contributes to our understanding of a
model of mediation, it also humainzes conflict, and in the process celebrates
what it means to be a human being."
--Sara Cobb, director, Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George
Mason University

Mark Tatham, Katherine Morton, "Developments in Speech Synthesis"
John Wiley & Sons | ISBN 047085538X | 2005 Year | PDF | 2 Mb | 356 Pages
“ With a growing need for understanding the process involved in producing and
perceiving spoken language, this timely publication answers these questions in
an accessible reference. Containing material resulting from many years’ teaching
and research, Speech Synthesis provides a complete account of the theory of
speech. By bringing together the common goals and methods of speech synthesis
into a single resource, the book will lead the way towards a comprehensive view
of the process involved in human speech. The book includes applications in
speech technology and speech synthesis.
It is ideal for intermediate students of linguistics and phonetics who wish to
proceed further, as well as researchers and engineers in telecommunications
working in speech technology and speech synthesis who need a comprehensive
overview of the field and who wish to gain an understanding of the objectives
and achievements of the study of speech production and perception.
