Abstract:

La parole silencieuse ou murmurée est définie comme la production articulée de sons, avec très peu de vibration des cordes vocales dans le cas du chuchotement, et aucune vibration dans le cas du murmure, produite par les mouvements et les interactions des organes de la parole tels que la langue, le voile du palais, les lèvres, etc. , dans le but d'éviter d'être entendue par plusieurs personnes. La parole silencieuse ou murmurée est utilisée généralement pour la communication privée et confidentielle ou peut être employée par les personnes présentant un handicap laryngé et qui ne peuvent pas pa

Abstract:

The objective of this thesis is to investigate the apparent failure of the U.S. government to "win the hearts and minds" of Muslims in the post 9/11 world. Using critical discourse analysis of counter Muslim media and audience discourses (discourses criticizing and opposing U.S. policies in the Muslim world), four factors are identified as being central to this failure. They are: (1) The United States government's lack of historical, religious, social and cultural knowledge of Muslim people, (2) its foreign policies toward Muslim people, (3) U.S. media strategies, and (4) the proliferation of

Drawing from feminist, post-modern and performative theory this investigation sets out to determine whether fashion is empowering or constraining for women in a period of US political backlash. Incorporating anthropological, historical, philosophical and sociological approaches the application of fashion in Vogue Magazine is assessed through a macroscopic content analysis using a systematic random sample methodology. Data is assessed according to twenty-three quantitative variables. A qualitative analysis determines the presence of subculture style, menswear fashion influences, functional fash

The sample consisted of trailers representing the top ten blockbuster films from each year between 2008 and 2012. The sample was selected to represent the most popular films because they reach the largest audience. The risk behavior variables included violence, tobacco use, alcohol, sexual conduct and body modification.

Abstract:

<p> Over the years, local television news stations across the nation have seen a dramatic decrease in viewership. Much like newspapers, fewer people are relying on television news for several reasons. Two of the biggest culprits are the age of new technology and social media. These two factors alone have reprogrammed people's daily habits, changing the landscape of television news viewership and resulting in uncertain times at local television news stations. Few studies have been done on the future of local television news. Of the studies that have been conducted, it is clear to see that local

The limited applicability of Shannon’s separation theorem in practical speech/audio systems motivates the employment of joint source and channel coding techniques. Thus, considerable efforts have been invested in designing various types of joint source and channel coding schemes. This thesis discusses two different types of Joint Source and Channel Coding (JSCC) schemes, namely Unequal Error Protection (UEP) aided turbo transceivers as well as Iterative Source and Channel Decoding (ISCD) exploiting the residual redundancy inherent in the source encoded parameters.

HF communication continues to play an important role in long-distance communications throughout Australia and indeed, the world. Unfortunately, HF communication suffers from highly variable conditions and strong levels of interference noise. This thesis presents an investigation into the provision of possible solutions to the problems of HF communication. The solutions are in the form of DSP algorithms implemented on a real-time DSP system. The DSP system is employed to postprocess the speech after transmission over the HF channel and to provide a degree of quality and intelligiblity enh

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the status of intimacy in late modernity. It adresses two questions: how should we consider intimacy today? And how can intimacy help us understand social phenomena such as the Bouchard-Taylor Commission?To answer these questions, intimacy is conceptualized as a form of power that regulates the space of social differentiation that exists between individuals in modern societies. The analysis is inspired by philosophical hermeneutics, but also a series of transdisciplinary approaches enabling us to account for the various dimensions of the issue. The thesis provides a cl

I define such things as media environment design, branding, and data collection as soft control practices. I focus on television as a way to

Speech signal processing for voice communications can be characterised in terms of silence compression, noise reduction, and speech compression. The limit in the channel bandwidth of voice communication systems requires efficient compression of speech and silence signals while retaining the voice quality. Silence compression by means of both voice activity detection (VAD) and comfort noise generation could present transparent speech-quality while substantially lowering the transmission bit-rate, since pause regions between talk spurts do not include any voice information.
