The enormous advances in digital signal processing (DSP) technology have contributed to the wide dissemination and success of speech communication devices – be it GSM and UMTS mobile telephones, digital hearing aids, or human-machine interfaces. Digital speech transmission techniques play an important role in these applications, all the more because high quality speech transmission remains essential in all current and next generation communication networks.

Enhancement, coding and error concealment techniques improve the transmitted speech signal at all stages of the transmission chain, from the acoustic front-end to the sound reproduction at the receiver. Advanced speech processing algorithms help to mitigate a number of physical and technological limitations such as background noise, bandwidth restrictions, shortage of radio frequencies, and transmission errors.

Digital Speech Transmission provides a single-source, comprehensive guide to the fundamental issues, algorithms, standards, and trends in speech signal processing and speech communication technology. The authors give a solid, accessible overview of
fundamentals of speech signal processing
speech coding, including new speech coders for GSM and UMTS
error concealment by soft decoding
artificial bandwidth extension of speech signals
single and multi-channel noise reduction
acoustic echo cancellation

What do Ford Financial, IBM, and Victoria’s Secret have in common? Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB). As the industry standard for platform-independent reusable business components, EJB has just become Sun Microsystem’s latest developer certification. Whether you want to be certifiable or just want to learn the technology inside and out, Head First EJB will get you there in the least painful way. And with the greatest understanding. You’ll learn not just what the technology *is*, but more importantly, *why* it is, and what it is and isn’t good for. You’ll learn tricks and tips for EJB development, along with tricks and tips for passing this latest, very challenging Sun Certified Business Component Developer (SCBCD) exam. You’ll learn how to think like a server. You’ll learn how to think like a bean. And because this is a Head First book, you’ll learn how to think about thinking. Co-author Kathy Sierra was one of Sun’s first employees to teach brave, early adopter customers how to use EJB. She has the scars. But besides dragging you deep into EJB technology, Kathy and Bert will see you through your certification exam, if you decide to go for it. And nobody knows the certification like they do - they’re co-developers of Sun’s actual exam! As the second book in the Head First series, Head First EJB follows up the number one best-selling Java book in the US, Head First Java. Find out why reviewers are calling it a revolution in learning tough technical topics, and why Sun Chairman and CEO Scott McNealy says, “Java technology is everywhere…if you develop software and haven’t learned Java, it’s definitely time to dive in “Head First.” And with Head First book, you don’t even have to feel guilty about having fun while you’re learning; it’s all part of the learning theory. If the latest research in cognitive science, education, and neurobiology suggested that boring, dry, and excruciatingly painful was the best way to learn, we’d have done it. Thankfully, it’s been shown that your brain has a sense of style, a sense of humour, and a darn good sense of what it likes and dislikes.

This volume provides an informed view of how information technology is shaping the contemporary humanities. It specifically reflects five ideals:
*humanities scholars with all levels of access are doing important work with technology;
*humanities scholars’ projects with technology reflect significant diversity, both across and within disciplinary bounds;
*using information technology in the humanities is a continuous conversation;
*information technology offers new options for humanities education; and
*just as collaboration changes the nature of any project, so does information technology change the nature of collaboration–its speed, character, methods, and possible implementations.
