Basic Medical Science for Speech and Language Therapy Students (PDF)
by Martin Atkinson Stephen McHanwellBasic Medical Science for Speech and Language Therapy Students, 2nd edition, covers anatomy, physiology and neuroscience relevant to the practice of speech and language therapy in sufficient detail to equip students with an understanding of the relevance of basic medical sciences to the clinical components of their course and continuing professional development. It is the only book published in the UK that specifically targets basic medical science for the study and practice of speech and language therapy and is unique in its breadth of coverage. An overview of the major body systems is followed by more detailed descriptions of the structure and function of the nervous system, respiratory system, the phonatory and articulatory apparatus and the ear and hearing. Their role in normal and abnormal speech and language is illustrated by clinical examples likely to be met in practice. The book has also proved a useful source of reference for experienced practitioners who wish to refresh or extend their knowledge of those medical sciences relevant to their specialities or as a prelude to undertaking in-service study courses. With full colour illustrations, clinical case studies and 'look-up' tables, this completely revised textbook will be an essential resource for students and practitioners alike.

Basic Prediction Techniques in Modern Video Coding Standards (SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering)
by Byung-Gyu Kim Kalyan GoswamiThis book discusses in detail the basic algorithms of video compression that are widely used in modern video codec. The authors dissect complicated specifications and present material in a way that gets readers quickly up to speed by describing video compression algorithms succinctly, without going to the mathematical details and technical specifications. For accelerated learning, hybrid codec structure, inter- and intra- prediction techniques in MPEG-4, H.264/AVC, and HEVC are discussed together. In addition, the latest research in the fast encoder design for the HEVC and H.264/AVC is also included.

Basic Simulation Models of Phase Tracking Devices Using MATLAB (Synthesis Lectures on Communications)
by William Tranter Ratchaneekorn Thamvichai Tamal BoseThe Phase-Locked Loop (PLL), and many of the devices used for frequency and phase tracking, carrier and symbol synchronization, demodulation, and frequency synthesis, are fundamental building blocks in today's complex communications systems. It is therefore essential for both students and practicing communications engineers interested in the design and implementation of modern communication systems to understand and have insight into the behavior of these important and ubiquitous devices. Since the PLL behaves as a nonlinear device (at least during acquisition), computer simulation can be used to great advantage in gaining insight into the behavior of the PLL and the devices derived from the PLL. The purpose of this Synthesis Lecture is to provide basic theoretical analyses of the PLL and devices derived from the PLL and simulation models suitable for supplementing undergraduate and graduate courses in communications. The Synthesis Lecture is also suitable for self study by practicing engineers. A significant component of this book is a set of basic MATLAB-based simulations that illustrate the operating characteristics of PLL-based devices and enable the reader to investigate the impact of varying system parameters. Rather than providing a comprehensive treatment of the underlying theory of phase-locked loops, theoretical analyses are provided in sufficient detail in order to explain how simulations are developed. The references point to sources currently available that treat this subject in considerable technical depth and are suitable for additional study.
