Harmonic Analysis

From Fourier to Wavelets

By: María Cristina Pereyra,Lesley A. Ward

Conveys the remarkable beauty and applicability of the ideas that have grown from Fourier theory. It presents for an advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate student audience the basics of harmonic analysis, from Fourier's study of the heat equation, and the decomposition of functions into sums of cosines and sines (frequency analysis), to dyadic harmonic analysis, and the decomposition of functions into a Haar basis (time localization).

Wavelets, Their Friends, and what They Can Do for You

By: Martin J. Mohlenkamp,María Cristina Pereyra

These notes introduce the central concepts surrounding wavelets and their applications. By focusing on the essential ideas and arguments, the authors enable readers to get to the heart of the matter as quickly as possible. A list of references guides readers interested in further study to the appropriate places in the literature for detailed proofs and real applications. The authors begin with the notion of time-frequency analysis, present the multiresolution analysis and basic wavelet construction, introduce the many friends, relatives, and mutations of wavelets, and finally give a selection of applications. This book is suitable for beginning graduate students and above. A preliminary chapter containing some of the prerequisite concepts and definitions is included for reference.

The Temple of Venus and Rome and Santa Francesca Romana at the Roman Forum

Preservation and Transformation

By: Cristina González-Longo

This book examines the influence of architectural design in the conservation of historic buildings by discussing in detail an important building complex in Rome: the Temple of Venus and Rome, the monastery of Santa Maria Nova and the church of Santa Francesca Romana. As the most complete site in the Roman Forum that has reached our times with a rich architectural stratification almost intact, it is a clear product of continuous preservation and transformation and it has not been studied in its complexity until now. The Temple of Venus and Rome and Santa Francesca Romana at the Roman Forum unravels the original designs and the subsequent interventions, including Giacomo Boni’s pioneering conservation of the monastery, carried out while excavating the Roman Forum in the early twentieth century. The projects are discussed in context to show their significance and the relationships between architects and patrons. Through its interdisciplinary focus on architectural design, conservation, archaeology, history and construction, this study is an ideal example for scholars, students and architects of how to carry out research in architectural conservation.

By: Carolyn Letts,Cristina Mckean,Helen Stringer

Primary language impairments have major consequences for a child’s educational and social development, including literacy, and were a key focus in the Bercow review of services to children with speech, language and communication needs. This evidence-based text focuses on how best to help children – from early years to adolescence – with these difficulties. Building on important recent developments in theory, assessment and intervention, the book incorporates cutting edge findings and formulates new approaches to primary language impairment. It offers an overview of approaches to aetiology, identification and intervention with children with primary language impairments before going on to: explore the relevant domains of language and language processing look at development trajectories in language impairment outline different approaches to assessment discuss models of service delivery and intervention. Primary Language Impairments in Childrenis designed for students of speech and language therapy and practitioners in the early stages of their careers. It will also be of use to teachers and educational psychologists working with children with language impairments.
