Filter Design for Signal Processing Using MATLAB and Mathematica

By: Miroslav D. Lutovac,Dejan V. Tošić,Brian Lawrence Evans

A complete up-to-date reference for advanced analog and digital IIR filter design rooted in elliptic functions. "Revolutionary" in approach, this book opens up completely new vistas in basic analog and digital IIR filter design--regardless of the technology. By introducing exceptionally elegant and creative mathematical stratagems (e.g., accurate replacement of Jacobi elliptic functions by functions comprising polynomials, square roots, and logarithms), optimization routines carried out with symbolic analysis by "Mathematica," and the advance filter design software of MATLAB, it shows readers how to design many types of filters that cannot be designed using conventional techniques. The filter design algorithms can be directly programed in any language or environment such as Visual BASIC, Visual C, Maple, DERIVE, or MathCAD. Signals; Systems; Transforms; Classical Analog Filter Design; Advanced Analog Filter Design Case Studies; Advanced Analog Filter Design Algorithms; Multi-criteria Optimization of Analog Filter Designs; Classical Digital Filter Design; Advanced Digital Filter Design Case Studies; Advanced Digital Filter Design Algorithms; Multi-criteria Optimization of Digital Filter Designs; Elliptic Functions; Elliptic Rational Function.

The Remarkable Chester Ronning

Proud Son of China

By: Brian L. Evans

Scholar and diplomat Brian L. Evans gives us the first English-language biography of Chester A. Ronning (1894-1984): diplomat, politician, educator, and one of Canada's major public figures. This fascinating story depicts Ronning, the man who received many honours, and deepens readers' knowledge of Canada's post-World War II diplomacy and Canada-China relations. Ronning was an extraordinary Canadian who combined Chinese sensibility with Norwegian calm practicality and American drive. His life journey was entwined with the history of China over many decades. Based on written materials, historical documents, and many hours of interviews with Ronning, his friends, and fellow politicians, The Remarkable Chester Ronning offers both a thorough and entertaining biography and a lens through which to view international politics.

Blood in the Machine

The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech

By: Brian Merchant

The most important book to read about the AI boom" (Wired): The "gripping" (New Yorker) true story of the first time machines came for human jobs—and how the Luddite uprising explains the power, threat, and toll of big tech and AI today Named one of the best books of the year by The New Yorker, Wired, and the Financial Times • A Next Big Idea Book Club "Must-Read" The most urgent story in modern tech begins not in Silicon Valley but two hundred years ago in rural England, when workers known as the Luddites rose up rather than starve at the hands of factory owners who were using automated machines to erase their livelihoods. The Luddites organized guerrilla raids to smash those machines—on punishment of death—and won the support of Lord Byron, enraged the Prince Regent, and inspired the birth of science fiction. This all-but-forgotten class struggle brought nineteenth-century England to its knees. Today, technology imperils millions of jobs, robots are crowding factory floors, and artificial intelligence will soon pervade every aspect of our economy. How will this change the way we live? And what can we do about it? The answers lie in Blood in the Machine. Brian Merchant intertwines a lucid examination of our current age with the story of the Luddites, showing how automation changed our world—and is shaping our future.

Paul Mellon's Legacy

A Passion for British Art : Masterpieces from the Yale Center for British Art

By: John Baskett,Jules David Prown,Duncan Robinson,Brian Allen,William S. Reese,William J. Reese,Yale Center for British Art,Royal Academy of Arts (Great Britain)

Paul Mellon (1907--1999) was an unparalleled collector of British art. His collection, now at Yale in the museum and study center he founded to house it, rivals those in Britain’s national museums and is unquestionably the most comprehensive representation of British art held outside of the United Kingdom. This book and the exhibition that it accompanies celebrate the centenary of his birth. Five introductory essays examine Mellon’s extraordinary collecting activity, as well as his role in creating both the Yale Center for British Art and the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art in London as gifts to his alma mater (Yale 1929). A lavishly illustrated catalogue section showcases 148 of the most exquisite and important paintings, watercolors, drawings, prints, sculpture, rare books, and manuscript material in the Yale Center’s collection, including major works by Thomas Gainsborough, Joshua Reynolds, George Stubbs, John Constable, and J. M. W. Turner.

Independence County Arkansas

By: Brian K. Robertson,Nancy Britton

The scenic White River flows through Independence County where the Ozark Mountains meet the flat lands of the Delta. This volume choronicles the development of the county from its early pioneer days through the 20th century. In addition to Batesville-the second oldest town in Arkansas and the county seat-Independence County, Arkansas documents the history of Cord, Cushman, Hickory Valley, Jamestown, Newark, Oil Trough, Pleasant Plains, and other communities in nearly 200 vintage images. Independence County was created by the Arkansas Territorial Legislature on October 20, 1820. Settled long before then, the region had been claimed by both Spain and France. In 1819, an early traveler described Polk Bayou as being "pleasant and advantageous as a commercial and agricultural depot." The photographs in this book, many never before published, date back to the earliest days of the county, including some of the earliest homes in the area.

Helping Students Make Sense of the World Using Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices

By: Christina V. Schwarz,Cynthia Passmore,Brian J. Reiser

When it’s time for a game change, you need a guide to the new rules. Helping Students Make Sense of the World Using Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices provides a play-by-play understanding of the practices strand of A Framework for K–12 Science Education (Framework) and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Written in clear, nontechnical language, this book provides a wealth of real-world examples to show you what’s different about practice-centered teaching and learning at all grade levels. The book addresses three important questions: 1. How will engaging students in science and engineering practices help improve science education? 2. What do the eight practices look like in the classroom? 3. How can educators engage students in practices to bring the NGSS to life? Helping Students Make Sense of the World Using Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices was developed for K–12 science teachers, curriculum developers, teacher educators, and administrators. Many of its authors contributed to the Framework’s initial vision and tested their ideas in actual science classrooms. If you want a fresh game plan to help students work together to generate and revise knowledge—not just receive and repeat information—this book is for you.

The S.P.E.A.R. Paradigm

Encountering God

By: Brian L. Evans

There has been a paradigm shift in the world of Christianity. Only those who are sensitive to the heart of God can perceive this shift. In this shift a new breed of Christians has evolved. Many of these worshipping warriors were once wounded and left to die on the battlefield of ministry, but God, never leaving or forsaking them, searched and rescued them, and is now restoring them to their rightful position in Him. These once battlefield-ridden soldiers are armed with new knowledge and wisdom from the Holy Spirit to impact and influence their generation. They are poised to do great exploits, because they "know their God" (Daniel 11:32). In the S.P.E.A.R. Paradigm, Author Brian Evans, presents a pattern for assuming the posture of the worshipping warrior, thereby, preparing the mature God-Seekers for an authentic experience with God. The result is knowing God how he originally intended to be known. The S.P.E.A.R. Paradigm teaches one how to recover from a "faith collapse" by employing the "Three C's" (content, continuity, and condition) of promise interpretation, how to enter into the presence of God through the "Five Porticos" of prayer, and finally, how to maintain a daily attitude of worship by embracing the "God Paradox." Prepare for a paradigm shift...prepare to experience God! S.---Spend Time With God P.---Ponder The Scriptures E.--Expect An Encounter A.--Align With God's Will R.--Release The Love Of God
