High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Infanta was a 74-gun ship of the line of the Spanish Navy, launched in 1750. She was captured by the Royal Navy on 13 August 1762, and commissioned as the third rate HMS Infanta. She was sold out of the navy in 1775. In the British Royal Navy, a third rate was a ship of the line which from the 1720s mounted between 64 and 80 guns, typically built with two gun decks (thus the related term two-decker). Years of experience proved that the third rate ships embodied the best compromise between sailing ability (speed, handling), firepower, and cost. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Spanish Navy is the maritime arm of the Spanish Military, one of the oldest active naval forces in the world. The Armada is responsible for notable achievements in world history such as the discovery of America, the first world circumnavigation, and the discovery of a maritime path from the Far East to America across the Pacific Ocean (Urdaneta's route). For three centuries the Spanish Navy formed part of a vast trade network that sailed the Pacific from Asia to America and the Atlantic from America to Europe escorting the galleon convoys. The Spanish Navy was the most powerful maritime force in Europe from the early 16th to the mid-17th centuries, and one of the strongest in the world...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A sparkler, is a type of hand-held firework, that burns slowly while emitting colored flames, sparks, and other effects. In the United Kingdom, a sparkler is often used by children at bonfire and fireworks displays on Guy Fawkes Night, the fifth of November. Sparklers are responsible for the vast majority of legal firework-related injuries, primarily as a result of their widespread sale in areas where other forms of fireworks are banned. The most common situation for injuries occurs when lit sparklers are given to unsupervised children, many of whom may not understand the risks. The devices burn at a high temperature (as hot as 1800 to 3000° F, or 1000 to 1600° C), depending on the fuel and...

Optical MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) devices have been used in a variety of applications including fiber-optic communications, projection TVs and in biomedical imaging. MEMS-based spatial light modulators (SLM) provide a compact, large scale, and cost-effective solution to these and other applications. In this book, we introduce the design and fabrication of SLMs for three such applications; coherent communication, adaptive optics and maskless lithography. This book should help not only those engineers working on these applications but in other fields, such as biomedical imaging, to better understand SLMs and their capabilites. This should also help optical MEMS engineers and those new to the field to gain some knowledge on...

This book offers a discussion of three major statistical techniques for the detection of brain activity as displayed in human functional magnetic resonance images (fMRIs). Conventionally most detection techniques utilise separate spatial and temporal domain analyses, however, the research presented in this text provides a unique combination of the two domains. The three statistical techniques presented are statistical parameter maps, spatio-temporal decomposition and resting brain analysis. The spatio-temporal decomposition method introduced in this book is a major contribution to the field. It extends the principle component analysis to detect brain activities from experiments involving single-stimulus, multi-stimuli and the resting...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Specific impulse is a way to describe the efficiency of rocket and jet engines. It represents the impulse—change in momentum—per unit of propellant. When referring to the specific impulse it just means to divide the impulse by the unit mass or unit weight. The higher the specific impulse, the less propellant is needed to gain a given amount of momentum. Specific impulse is an useful value to compare engines, much like miles per gallon or litres per kilometre is used for cars. A propulsion method with a higher specific impulse is more propellant-efficient. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии...

Relaying is seen as an advanced technique to improve the throughput, to exploit the spatial diversity, and most importantly to increase the coverage area in wireless networks. This work proposes several signaling protocols in relay networks and analyzes the performance limits of these protocols. It is shown that compared to a non-cooperative mode of transmission, throughput and/or reliability are immensely enhanced. The reader of this work will get familiar with the principles of relay networks. A summary of the techniques used in relay networks is first provided. The relaying schemes of decode-and-forward and compress-and-forward are studied within a novel generalized relay channel model. Then, the idea of relay selection is highlighted...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In cryptography, Spectr-H64 is a block cipher designed in 2001 by N. D. Goots, A. A. Moldovyan and N. A. Moldovyan. It relies heavily on the permutation of individual bits, so is much better suited to implementation in hardware than in software. The algorithm has a block size of 64 bits and key size of 256 bits. It uses a 12 round structure in which half of the block determines the transformation of the other half in each round, similar to a Feistel cipher or RC5. This same basic design was repeated in its successor, CIKS-1. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии принт-он-деманд...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The radio frequency (RF) spectrum is a conceptual tool used to organize and map the physical phenomena of electromagnetic waves. These waves propagate through space at different frequencies, and the set of all possible frequencies is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The term radio spectrum typically refers to the full frequency range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz that may be used for wireless communication. Most countries consider RF spectrum as an exclusive property of the state. The RF spectrum is a national resource, much like water, land, gas and minerals. Unlike these, however, RF is reusable. The purpose of spectrum management is to mitigate radio spectrum pollution and maximize the benefit...

Limited availability of bandwidth for mobile telecommunication has been the main reason behind the research and study in speech compression algorithms. To effectively compress speech one must go beyond manipulating the binary digits used to represent the signal. Understanding the details of voice and speech production has helped us to find effective and better ways of speech compression. Most modern speech compression algorithms use Linear Prediction along with Code book Excitation to effectively compress and decompress speech signals. Even though we have several telecommunication standards for speech compression, all of the standards use the concept of Linear Prediction and Code book Excitation at their core implementation. This Book...

In this book, we have presented an automatic speed measurement method of spherical objects using a single image and a novel approach for depth recovery from a single motion and defocus images. For the speed measurement method, blur parameters of the motion blurred image are estimated and then used to calculate the speed of the object according to a pinhole camera model. Since our approach is an image- based method, it can be implemented with low cost, off-the-shelf digital cameras. Furthermore, the camera settings (such as shutter speed, image resolution, focal length) can be easily adjusted to improve the accuracy of the system. In contrast to the commercially available speed measurement devices, our approach has virtually no limitation...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Speenhamland system was an amendment to the old Poor Law or Elizabethan Poor Law, created as an indirect result of Britain's involvements in the French Wars (1793–1815). The system was named after a 1795 meeting at the Pelican Inn in Speenhamland, Berkshire where a number of local magistrates devised the system as a means to alleviate the distress caused by high grain prices. The increase in the price of grain most probably occurred as a result of a poor harvest in the years 1795–96, though at the time this was subject to great debate. Many blamed middlemen and hoarders as the ultimate architects of the shortage. The authorities in Speenhamland approved a means-tested sliding-scale of...

The protocol consists of little more than a Diffie-Hellman key exchange where the Diffie-Hellman generator g is created from a hash of the password. Unlike unauthenticated Diffie-Hellman, SPEKE prevents man in the middle attack by the incorporation of the password. An attacker who is able to read and modify all messages between Alice and Bob cannot learn the shared key K and cannot make more than one guess for the password in each interaction with a party that knows it.
