Noise / by Kosko, Bart.(CARDINAL)361631;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 167-231) and index.THE WAR ON NOISE: Noise is an unwanted signal -- The noise-signal duality: one person's signal is another person's noise -- Information theory made a science out of the war on noise -- Channel noise randomly flips bits -- Noise limits channel capacity -- Noise can sometimes help -- NOISE IS A NUISANCE: Noise is a private nuisance if it substantially and unreasonably interferes with someone's use and enjoyment of land -- Noise is a public nuisance if it substantially interferes with a right common to the public -- E-mail spam counts as a cyber-noise nuisance -- THE NUISANCE THAT DEFERS: Noise-induced hearing loss is a common health hazard -- Noise can damage the inner ear's frequency detectors -- Noise increases stress -- Noise can harm simpler animals -- WHITE NOISE AIN'T SO WHITE: White noise is independent in time and has a flat spectrum, and so is physically impossible -- There are infinitely many types of white noise -- Most noise is impulsive -- Chaos and fuzz can produce white noise -- Real noise is colored noise because its frequency spectrum is not flat -- Thermal noise fills the universe -- Even black holes emit noise, and die -- FIGHTING NOISE WITH NOISE: The ideal low-pass filter resembles wideband noise in digital sampling -- Noise helps shape the spectrum of signals -- Noise cancellers learn noise patterns to annihilate them -- Delilah's secret: wireless signals can hide in noise -- THE ZEN OF NOISE: STOCHASTIC RESONANCE: many physical and biological systems display a stochastic resonance noise benefit because they are nonlinear systems -- The "forbidden interval" theorem: model neurons benefit from noise if the average noise lies outside the "forbidden interval" -- Noise can benefit nanosystems and the molecular motors of life.

True--amplitude processing techniques for marine, crustal-reflection seismic data / by Lee, Myung W.(CARDINAL)269815; Hutchinson, Deborah R.(CARDINAL)308209;
Includes bibliographical references (page 21).Preserving the relative true-amplitude of seismic traces provides significant advantages for deep crustal investigations, particularly for the identification and analysis of deep reflections originating near the crust-mantle boundary. Preserving lateraI variations along deep reflections is also important for resolving amplitude changes due to geologic causes rather than to artifacts from recording or source conditions. Three relative true-amplitude processing methods (automatic edit, single-trace equalization, and a common-depth-point gather equalization) were applied to the 20-second seismic data of the Great lakes Multidisciplinary Program on Crustal Evolution in order to evaluate the performance of the different techniques. Particular attention was paid to the improvement of signal-to-noise ratio and to the preservation of latera I continuity of the deep reflections. This study indicates that the automatic editing procedure based on the median amplitude of a common-depth-point gather provided substantial signal-to-noise ratio improvement of the seismic profiles. Post-stack amplitude balancing was commonly necessary to maintain the lateral continuity of the deep reflections and to reduce migration noise. The results from these processing strategies confirm the existence of large differences in crustal reflectivities and in the shape and geometry of crust-mantle transition beneath central and western lake Superior.

An implementation guide for minimum retroreflectivity requirements for traffic signs / by McGee, Hugh W.(CARDINAL)311202; Paniati, Jeffrey A.; United States.Federal Highway Administration.(CARDINAL)139839; Bellomo-McGee, Inc.(CARDINAL)311201; Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center.(CARDINAL)286897;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 50-51).Background -- Purpose of the guide -- Principles of retroreflectivity -- Types of retroreflective sheeting materials -- Minimum retroreflectivity requirements -- Sign management system -- Sign inventory -- Sign inspection -- Sign maintenance -- Sign replacement options for meeting minimum retroreflectivity levels -- Minimum retroreflectivity implementation guidelines -- Appendix A: FHWA sign management system (SMS) summary description -- References.Final report;To assist agencies in developing a cost-effective program for timely replacement of ineffective signs, this document was prepared. Initially the report describes the principles of retroreflectivity, the types of retroreflective materials, and the proposed minimum retroreflectivity guidelines. Then, the report presents the concept of a sign management system, and provides guidance for developing a sign inventory, conducting sign inspections, and maintaining signs. The report concludes with discussing options that State and local agencies can follow for replacing their ineffective signs and offers a minimum and desirable program.Performed by Bellomo-McGee, Inc. (BMI) and sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration Office of Safety and Traffic Operations R & D, under contract no.
