Forty years ago, three physicists - Peter Higgs, Gerard 't Hooft, and James Bjorken - made the spectacular breakthroughs that led to the world's largest experiment, CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Against a backdrop of high politics and billion dollar budgets, this is the story of their work, the quest for the Higgs boson, and its eventual discovery.

This book covers random signals and random processes along with estimation of probability density function, estimation of energy spectral density and power spectral density. The properties of random processes and signal modelling are discussed with basic communication theory estimation and detection. MATLAB simulations are included for each concept with output of the program with case studies and project ideas. The chapters progressively introduce and explain the concepts of random signals and cover multiple applications for signal processing. The book is designed to cater to a wide audience starting from the undergraduates (electronics, electrical, instrumentation, computer, and telecommunication engineering) to the researchers working in the pertinent fields. Key Features: • Aimed at random signal processing with parametric signal processing-using appropriate segment size. • Covers speech, image, medical images, EEG and ECG signal processing. • Reviews optimal detection and estimation. • Discusses parametric modeling and signal processing in transform domain. • Includes MATLAB codes and relevant exercises, case studies and solved examples including multiple choice questions

For the first time in scholarship, this essay collection interprets modernity through the literary micro-genres of the aphorism, the epigram, the maxim, and the fragment. Situating Friedrich Nietzsche and Oscar Wilde as forerunners of modern aphoristic culture, the collection analyses the relationship between aphoristic consciousness and literary modernism in the expanded purview of the long twentieth century, through the work of a wide range of authors, including Samuel Beckett, Max Beerbohm, Jorge Luis Borges, Katherine Mansfield, and Stevie Smith. From the romantic fragment to the tweet, Aphoristic Modernity offers a compelling exploration of the short form's pervasive presence both as a standalone artefact and as part of a larger textual and cultural matrix.

The 1st edition of Tervo’s Practical Signals Theory with MATLAB Applications offers an organized presentation around applications that introduces the actual behavior of specific signals and uses them to motivate presentation of mathematical concepts. The text sequences the presentation of the major transforms by their complexity to help visualize phenomena from an equation to develop intuition and learn to analyze signals by inspection. Furthermore the text provides examples and problems designed to use MATLAB, making presentation more in line with modern engineering practice. Key features include: actual signal behavior presented first, from which mathematical theory is derived (most competitors do the opposite); an integrated CT/DT coverage; MATLAB integrated throughout; extensive use of innovative applications in examples and problems; and an emphasis on developing student intuition via analysis by inspection.
