The principles of signal processing are fundamental to the operation of many everyday devices. This book introduces the basic theory of digital signal processing, with emphasis on real-world applications. Sampling, quantization, the Fourier transform, filters, Bayesian methods and numerical considerations are covered, then developed to illustrate how they are used in audio, image, and video processing and compression, and in communications. The book concludes with methods for the efficient implementation of algorithms in hardware and software. Intuitive arguments rather than mathematical ones are used wherever possible, and links between various signal processing techniques are stressed. The advantages and disadvantages of different approaches are presented in the context of real-world examples, enabling the reader to choose the best solution to a given problem. With over 200 illustrations and over 130 exercises (including solutions), this book will appeal to practitioners working in signal processing, and undergraduate students of electrical and computer engineering.

The companion volume to the multimillion-copy bestseller No Easy Day by former Navy SEAL Mark Owen reveals the evolution of a SEAL Team Six operator. Mark Owen’s instant #1 New York Times bestseller, No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission that Killed Osama bin Laden, focused on the high-profile targets and headline-grabbing chapters of the author’s thirteen years as a Navy SEAL. His follow-up, No Hero, is an account of Owen’s most personally meaningful missions, missions that never made headlines, including the moments in which he learned the most about himself and his teammates in both success and failure. Featuring stories from the training ground to the battlefield, No Hero offers readers a never-before-seen close-up view of the experiences and values that make Mark Owen and the SEALs he served with capable of executing the missions that make history.

The inaugural monthly e-book series about genealogy highlights about African Americans, Afro Caribbeans and Africans who survived harsh circumstances that allow us to breathe the air of today’s freedom from physical bondage. August First features the little-known accounts about “August 1st, Nicodemus and Red Summer.” You will learn about resilience, triumph and innovation from ancestors who turned a little into a lot.

A critical examination of an increasingly vital role in surgical practice Surgical first assistants (SFAs) are registered nurses or operating department practitioners (ODPs) who play a crucial role in the operating theatre during surgical procedures. Under the direct supervision of the operating surgeon, an SFA provides continuous skilled assistance, performing a range of established responsibilities to assist the surgeon predominantly in the intraoperative phase of the patient’s journey, but also in the pre- and post-operative phases. The role affords theatre nurses and ODPs the opportunity to expand their clinical responsibilities and provide assistance for patients undergoing surgery by undertaking post-qualifying education. More recently, an understanding of the knowledge and skills of the SFA role has been embedded into the undergraduate curricula for ODPs. Surgical First Assistant: The Essentials of Practice provides a comprehensive and critical examination of the knowledge, skills and behaviours that are required by SFAs to ensure patient safety and quality care. Beginning with a historical overview of the SFA role, it proceeds to outline the legal, ethical and professional aspects of the role which allows the practitioner to critically reflect on SFA practice. It also offers an in-depth analysis of the SFA’s responsibilities as defined by the Perioperative Care Collaborative through each phase of the patient’s perioperative journey from pre-operative assessment to post-operative pain management. Surgical First Assistant readers will also find: A text aligned with UK national standards and best practiceDetailed discussion of topics including pre-operative preparation with the operating theatre, assisting with haemostasis, and many moreAn approach which explores both the technical and non-technical skills required by the SFASurgical First Assistant is ideal for registered nurses, ODPs, student and apprentice operating department practitioners.

Den 1 maj 2011 stormar en amerikansk styrka in i huset där Usama bin Ladin befinner sig. Ett ögonblick senare är han död. För första gången ger nu en av de soldater som var med sin bild av hur det gick till. I Ingen lätt dag får läsaren följa Mark Owen och de övriga tjugotre SEAL-soldaterna i den handplockade gruppen när de tränar inför det största uppdraget av alla. Berättelsen som slutar med bin Ladins död är en viktig del av vår moderna historia. Den börjar med en helikopterkrasch som Owen med nöd och näppe överlever och beskriver detaljerat skeendet fram till anropet som meddelar världen att terroristledaren är död. Dessutom låter Owen läsaren ta del av livet på slagfältet och redogör för hur elitsoldaterna väljs ut och tränas inför sina uppdrag. Han berättar också om sin uppväxt i Alaska och om hur han som medlem i SEAL förväntas prestera på toppen av sin fysiska och mentala förmåga. Med sinne för detaljer beskriver han elitstyrkans många uppdrag och ger en levande bild av hur gruppen växt fram efter den 11 september 2001.

Mark Bisonette var gruppchef för specialstyrkan som dödade Usama bin Ladin. Med detta uppdrag som utgångspunkt skrev han boken Ingen lätt dag under pseudonymen Mark Owen. Det blev en minst sagt explosiv bok och en bästsäljare såväl i Sverige som hela världen. I Ingen hjälte fortsätter Mark Owen berättelsen om sitt liv i Navy Seals. Ingen hjälte handlar inte om de mest kända insatserna som Mark Owen deltagit i. Här är han mer personlig och berättar om de uppdrag som på olika sätt betytt mest för honom. De som han tyckt varit mest meningsfulla och som haft störst påverkan på honom. Boken tar med sig läsaren till träningsläger och krigshärdar över hela världen. Mark Owen ger ett närbild av tuffa krigssituationer och delar med sig av erfarenheter och insikter han samlat på sig längs vägen.
