The goal of teaching is ultimately the learning achieved by the student. Active learning has proven to be extremely effective in inciting students to learn. Techniques to engage students in their learning and utilizing technologies that are inherently more natural to learning synergistically combine to enhance the learning experience. The workshop leaders share their own successes, as well as not...
This talk will outline how image processing and analysis (IPA) can be applied in the automated analysis of computed tomography (CT) colonography data sets for the detection of colorectal cancer using standard and low-dose radiation CT acquisition [CAD-CTC]. By focusing on this specific task we will illustrate a range of issues facing the application of digital IPA in the medical domain. The talk will...
Electronic techniques for voice spectral synthesis and analysis have seen huge advances during the 20th century, most notably during its last quarter. The ubiquity of PC machines in the home and office that are more than capable of running spectral analysis algorithms has made it possible for many to make use of these techniques; indeed, there is much software available as freeware. This paper explores...
Digital radio communication systems today typically operate well short of the theoretical capacity of the channel. This paper discusses how far greater bandwidth efficiency can be obtained on wireless channels through the use of adaptive procedures in the transmitter. These procedures require knowledge of the channel which is acquired at the receiver and fed back to the transmitter via a high integrity...
This paper examines the challenges of efficiently harnessing wave energy. A variety of energy conversion device types is reviewed and a generic heaving buoy device selected for detailed examination. A number of modelling and control challenges are detailed and a hierarchical control structure is indicated. Both potable water production and electricity generation are included as possible uses of such...
