Digital Signal Processing: Fundamentals, Applications, and Deep Learning, Fourth Edition introduces students to the fundamental principles of digital signal processing (DSP) while also providing a working knowledge that they take with them into their engineering careers. Many instructive, worked examples are used to illustrate the material, and the use of mathematics is minimized for an easier grasp of concepts. As such, this title is also useful as a reference for non-engineering students and practicing engineers.This book goes beyond DSP theory, showing the implementation of algorithms in hardware and software. Additional topics covered include DSP for artificial intelligence, adaptive filtering with noise reduction and echo cancellations, speech compression, signal sampling, digital filter realizations, filter design, multimedia applications, over-sampling, etc. More advanced topics are also covered, such as adaptive filters, speech compression such as pulse-code modulation, µ-law, adaptive differential pulse-code modulation, multi-rate DSP, oversampling analog-to-digital conversion, sub-band coding, wavelet transform, and neural networks.

Worked Examples in Engineering Field Theory documents a lecture course given by the author to first-year students in the Department of Engineering in the University of Leicester. This book mainly focuses on the concepts of flux and potential. This text is divided in two parts; the first of which is devoted to explaining the concept of flux, whereas the second part encompasses the concept of potential. In discussing the concepts of flux and potential, this book explains the related theories, and then provides examples, related problems, and solutions to the problems. Some of the specific topics included are electric flux, flux function, electrical materials, electric potential, and conductive heat transfer. This publication will be invaluable to mathematics, engineering, and chemistry students and practitioners interested in studying the concepts of flux and potential.

Prestressed Members with External Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Tendons: Design, Assessment and Modelling provides an overview of using FRPs, including how to predict the short-term and long-term behavior of externally prestressed concrete or steel-concrete composite members, their second-order effects, and how to examine the effectiveness of using FRP tendons instead of steel tendons for external prestressing. As external prestressing is considered to be one of the most powerful techniques in strengthening of existing structures, this book provides a comprehensive resource on the topics covered.The conventional use of prestressing steel is, however, naturally prone to corrosion. The best strategy to solve completely the corrosion problem is the use of nonmetal materials instead of prestressing steel. Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are ideal materials used for external tendons for their excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and low weight.
