4.1. Wavelet Transforms (WT) 4.1.1. Wavelet Definition A ‘wavelet’ is a small wave which has its energy concentrated in time. It has an oscillating wavelike characteristic but also has the ability to allow simultaneous time and frequency analysis and it is a suitable tool for transient, non-stationary or time-varying phenomena. (a) (b) Fig: 4.0.1 Representation of a wave (a) and a wavelet (b) 4.1.2. Wavelet Characteristics The difference between wave (sinusoids) and wavelet is shown in figure 3.1. Waves are smooth, predictable and everlasting, whereas wavelets are of limited duration, irregular and may be asymmetric. Waves are used as deterministic basis functions in Fourier analysis for the expansion of functions (signals), which are time-invariant, or stationary. The important characteristic of wavelets is that they can serve as deterministic or non-deterministic basis for generation and analysis of the most natural signals to provide better time-frequency representation, which is not possible with waves using conventional Fourier analysis. 4.1.3.

Temporal analysis is performed with a contracted, high frequency version of the prototype wavelet, while frequency analysis is performed with a dilated, low frequency version of the same wavelet. Mathematical formulation of signal expansion using wavelets gives Wavelet Transform pair, which is analogous to the Fourier Transform (FT) pair. Discrete-time and discrete-parameter version of WT is termed as Discrete Wavelet Transform. DWT can be viewed in a similar framework of Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) with its efficient implementation through fast filterbank algorithms similar to Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
I believe that Mr.Shiftlet, the character from the story “The Life You Save May Be Your Own” by Flannery O’Conner is an innocent, truthful, and honest man. Although there are many misconceptions towards Mr.Shiftlet, this is mainly due to his complex character. My first example is as Mr.Shiftlet enters the story. At first he appears to the reader as innocent and pitiful. He shows an emotion to the reader as him being portrayed as helpless, innocent, and as a cripple. Mr.Shiftlet later questions Mrs. Crater why she trusts him stating, “…you never have seen me before: how you know I ain’t lying?” again appealing to his innocent appearance. Mr.Shiftlet’s helpless and pitiful character shows those around him believing that he is trustworthy. Another example is that as he is first led off his religious course by the thought that the car would be his ultimate passage to spiritual freedom. He compares the spirit to a car starting “the spirit...is like an automobile: always on the move.” This supports Mr.Shiftlet complex character because all of Mr.Shiftlet’s actions were specifically put to help himself, or in other words, to obtain the vehicle, as another action of just simply using his resources. A complex character once again expressed in the text, yet this time through his guilt. In the story it relates that Mr.Shiftlet searches for one last chance of redemption. Mr.Shiftlet knew that a man with a car has his responsibilities, so that’s why he gave the boy a lift. This act of kindness was a chance for Mr.Shiftlet to feel better about his mistakes. Once again, I believe that there are many misconceptions towards Mr.Shiftlet actions due to his complex character.
An oscilloscope is a laboratory instrument that commonly used to display and analyze the waveform of electronic signals. This device draws a graph of signal voltage as a function of time. Oscilloscope usually have two-dimensional graph which electrical potential differences represent by Y-axis (vertical) and time represent by X-axis (horizontal). With positive values going upward and negative values going downward (Ask.com, 2014). In any oscilloscope, the horizontal sweep is measured in seconds per division (s/div), milliseconds per division (ms/div), microseconds per division (s/div), or nanoseconds per division (ns/div). The vertical deflection is measured in volts per division (V/div), millivolts per division (mV/div), or microvolts per division (µV/div).

The use of color imagery is used to represent Shiflet such as the color green which Shiftlet paints the car with. While being a symbol of hope and spring, it has also been considered sign of charity and the redemption of the soul through good works. However the color yellow which is the color of the band he paints over the green, and of the moon which appears in the branches of the fig tree, is frequently used to suggest a hellish light, betrayal, and treason. This is also shown through his name as Shiftlet or shifty suggests possible deviousness but can also represent the idea of a shift or a change. Shiftlet embodies the word "shifty." He likes to ask philosophical questions like, "What is a man?" and talk about how "rotten" the world is,
In seismology, there are several types of waves studied, each of these waves have characteristics that define them. Seismic waves can be split into two categories, and they are body waves and surface waves. Body waves travel and move within the earths subsurface and inner layers. There are two types of body waves, P-Waves also known as compressional waves or primary waves, and S-Waves also called secondary or shear waves. The S-Waves have a vertical (Sv) and horizontal (Sh) component. “In an infinite homogenous isotropic medium, only P and S waves exist” (Telford et. al, 1990). On the other hand, as indicated by the name, surface waves travel and move along the surface of the earth. In general, surface waves have a lower frequency than body waves, therefore, they can easily be distinguished from body waves on a seismogram. There are two types of surface waves, Love waves and Rayleigh Waves. Love waves is the fastest surface wave, its movement mainly consists of a side to side completely horizontal motion. Rayleigh (1885) waves are surface waves that “roll” along the ground; they are a consequence of interfering P and Sv-Waves. Our project
...ics, a manual computation of successive RR intervals is resorted to. This series of RR intervals is subjected to both time domain and frequency domain analyses.
Ultrasound is sound waves that have a frequency above human audible. (Ultrasound Physics and Instrument 111). With a shorter wavelength than audible sound, these waves can be directed into a narrow beam that is used in imaging soft tissues. As with audible sound waves, ultrasound waves must have a medium in which to travel and are subject to interference. In addition, much like light rays, they can be reflected, refracted, and focused.
About a month after Mr. Shiftlet married Lucynell the old woman began to wonder how they were doing. She assumed her daughter was happily married. She walked into town and went to the market. She saw the stringy brown hair on a woman’s head and it reminded her of Lucynell. Surely she thought it could not have been her daughter for she was not here, she was happily married to Mr.Shiftlet. The woman looked lost and the old woman watched her from afar. The woman turned around and looked extremely scared. The woman was Lucynell and Mr. Shiftlet was nowhere to be found.
The uses of Digital Signal Processing in communications has become so large scale that nearly any form of analog communication is considered obsolete. Today, nearly any form of communication used, aside from verbal communication, relates to Digital Signal Processing. Some of the more prominent uses for DSP in communications are; local area networks, cell pho...
Many things in nature wiggle in a periodic fashion through vibration. One such example is a simple pendulum. A simple pendulum may be described ideally as a point mass suspended by a massless string from some point about which it is allowed to swing back and forth in a place. When the mass is displaced a small angle from equilibrium and then released, the pendulum undergoes simple harmonic motion.
Because to solve a problem analytically can be very hard and spend a lot of time, global, polynomial and numerical methods can be very useful. However, in last decades, numerical methods have been used by many scientists. These numerical methods can be listed like The Taylor-series expansion method, the hybrid function method, Adomian decomposition method, The Legendre wavelets method, The Tau method, The finite difference method, The Haar function method, The...
Sound is essentially a wave produced by a vibrating source. This compression and rarefaction of matter will transfer to the surrounding particles, for instance air molecules. Rhythmic variations in air pressure are therefore created which are detected by the ear and perceived as sound. The frequency of a sound wave is the number of these oscillations that passes through a given point each second. It is the compression of the medium particles that actually constitute a sound wave, and which classifies it as longitudinal. As opposed to transverse waves (eg. light waves), in which case the particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave movement, the medium particles are moving in the same or opposite direction as the wave (Russell, D. A., 1998).
waves are further divided into two groups or bands such as very low frequency (
