V&R unipress GmbH Akademisches Lesen: Medien, Praktiken,
Book SynopsisReading is fundamental for higher education and scientific research, and it is primarily organized by academic libraries. Academic reading at the same time is characterized by specific requirements and benefits, which are addressed by available reading options, practices, and media. Although socialized literacies, routinized reading practices and established reading media are changing by digitization, consequences of these changes have been rarely analyzed for the academia. This interdisciplinary collection of papers therefore is asking what we actually know about academic reading competencies, reading practices and libraries in a quickly expanding digital academic environment.

Transcript Verlag Machines as Agency – Artistic Perspectives
Book SynopsisThis book supports and deepens the existing interfaces between art, science, and technology - transgressing traditional principles and styles of research, and selectively overcoming the side-by-side coexistence in favour of an integrated "laboratory of the future". Instead of relying on traditional dualisms like nature-culture, subject-object, as well as man and machine, heterogeneous networks with humans and non-humans (Latour) are opened in shared contexts of agency. New momentary propositions are developed, meeting the complexity of discovering, exploring, and inventing - things: things which do not exist just as given beings. The artists and theoreticians can pursue using the tools and techniques of science actively - not only to comment them but also to fathom their possibilities, and employ them in their artistic and scientific projects. Machines as Agency is an artistic perspective.

Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften Heimat Und Fremde: Selbst-, Fremd- Und Leitbilder
Book SynopsisDie Auseinandersetzung mit Heimat und Fremde wird im Prozess der zunehmenden privaten und gesellschaftlichen Abgrenzung gegenüber dem oder den Anderen immer bedeutsamer. Welche Leitbilder vermitteln Medien von Heimat und Fremde und von Fremden? Welche Rolle spielen Medien generell bei Prozessen der Identitätsbildung von Menschen? Solchen und ähnlichen Fragen soll in diesem Band nachgegangen werden, in dessen Fokus der politisch-gesellschaftliche Diskurs über die komplexe Thematik Heimat und Fremde in Film und Fernsehen steht. Bewusst wird hier eine Brücke zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart geschlagen und der Blick auf beide deutsche Staaten, auf Ost und West gelenkt. Neben fiktionalen Formaten (Spielfilme, Serien) werden gleichermaßen non-fiktionale Formate (Reportagen, Dokumentationen und Shows) berücksichtigt, die sich Heimat und Fremde in verschiedener Art und Weise nähern. Der Band ist das Ergebnis einer Tagung zur medialen Darstellung von Heimat und Fremde, die vom Zentrum für Wissenschaft & Forschung Medien e. V. gemeinsam mit dem Institut für Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft der Universität Leipzig sowie der Medienstiftung Sparkasse im Januar 2008 in Leipzig veranstaltet wurde.

Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften Fernsehformate Und Formatfernsehen:
Book SynopsisFormate werden weltweit adaptiert und haben in den vergangenen Jahren das Unterhaltungsangebot und die Programmplanung im Fernsehen stark verändert. Ausserdem stehen diese TV-Angebote wie beispielsweise Big Brother' immer wieder im Mittelpunkt öffentlicher Diskussionen. Trotzdem war die Thematik bisher nur vereinzelt Gegenstand der kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Forschung. Die Arbeit untersucht daher erstmals in umfassender Form die Relevanz von Formaten auf dem deutschen Fernsehmarkt und die Entstehung des Formatfernsehens unter Berücksichtigung der sich verändernden Marktstrukturen des Rundfunksystems von den 50er Jahren bis 2002/2003. Die vorliegende Studie ist zwischen Mediengeschichte, Inhaltsforschung und Medienökonomie positioniert und verknüpft ergebnisorientiert verschiedenste Aspekte dieser kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Teildisziplinen.

Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften Medienkarrieren: Biografische Studien Ueber
Book Synopsis60 Jahre nach dem Aufbau einer demokratischen Presse in Deutschland schließt dieses Buch eine wichtige Forschungslücke. Am Beispiel der Medienhochburg Hamburg analysiert der Autor die Lebensläufe von 308 Nachkriegsjournalisten. Er beleuchtet den Vorgang der Entnazifizierung, die Vergabe von Zeitungslizenzen und die personelle Zusammensetzung der Redaktionen von Welt, Zeit, Hamburger Abendblatt sowie den vier Parteizeitungen. Auf der Basis bisher unbekannter Quellen kommt dabei ein einzigartiges Journalistenkollektiv zum Vorschein. Es setzte sich zusammen aus den bürgerlichen Journalisten der Reichshauptstadt, die nach dem Krieg aus Berlin nach Norddeutschland geflohen waren; aus Hamburger Journalisten der über die Stadtgrenzen hinaus renommierten großen liberalen Zeitungen; aus zurückgekehrten Emigranten, die in Hamburg ein Hort des guten Deutschland sahen, sowie aus vom NS-Regime Verfolgten und wenigen Neuanfängern. Unter ihnen waren überzeugte Demokraten wie Axel Springer oder Marion Gräfin Dönhoff, unverbesserliche Revanchisten wie Rolf Seutter von Loetzen oder Richard Tüngel, Ex-NSDAP-Mitglieder wie Hans-Georg von Studnitz oder Hans Steffen alias Hans ut Hamm sowie aus dem Exil zurückgekehrte Emigranten wie Ernst Friedländer oder Herbert Wehner.

Verlag G. Mainz Hybrid DigitalAnalog Transmission Systems Design
Book SynopsisDuring the last 25 years, most of the communication systems have been converted to purely digital technology, although the transmitted content mostly is analog by nature. The principal advantages of digital communication are compression by source encoding, bit error protection by channel coding and robust transmission over noisy channels by appropriate modulation. Digital systems are usually designed for worst case channel conditions. However, often the channel quality is much better, which is not reflected in an improved end-to-end transmission quality due to inevitable quantization noise produced by the source encoder.In this thesis, the focus is set on systems which: are not purely digital anymore benefit from increasing channel qualities and avoid the saturation effect using discrete-time, continuous-amplitude techniques.In the first part, purely analog, i.e., discrete-time and continuous-amplitude transmission systems are considered with line

Verlag G. Mainz Analysis of CSMA Based Broadcast Communication in
Book SynopsisThis thesis studies the congestion problem at the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer of the IEEE 802.11p system in highway scenarios using an analytical approach. Using the Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol, the IEEE 802.11p system suffers from the hidden station problem. This thesis provides formal definitions for the hidden station condition and the hidden station problem and develops an analytical methodology for CSMA protocols to investigate the interaction between stations in mutual channel sensing range and hidden to each other. Analytical models are developed for broadcast communication using the generic CSMA protocol and the IEEE 802.11p MAC protocol with a one-dimensional (1-D) homogeneous network topology. Simulation studies prove the accuracy of the models in analyzing the reliability performance and the efficiency performance of CSMA broadcast communication with hidden stations.The performance of Cooperative Awareness Message (CAM

Verlag G. Mainz Options for the Joint Evolution of Digital
Book SynopsisTerrestrial broadcast is traditionally realized over High Tower High Power (HTHP) networks which have been preserved in the transition from the analog PAL to the first generation of the digital DVB-T technology. The drawback of this traditional network design is its spectral inefficiency. The demand for providing more TV programs with HD quality as well as the increasing spectrum consumption of mobile internet services, with video streaming being one of the driving factors, necessitate a re-optimization of the current broadcast network and a more efficient allocation of frequencies.In this thesis, three options for a future frequency-efficient evolution and coexistence of terrestrial TV and mobile internet are specified and investigated: Transition from the current terrestrial broadcast with DVB-T to its successor DVB-T2 while retaining the HTHP network infrastructure Switch-over from DVB-T to DVB-T2 with transition to a Low Tower Low Power (LTLP) network infras

Verlag G. Mainz Speech Signal Enhancement by Information
Book SynopsisMobile phones as well as tablets are omnipresent and belong to everyday life. Today audiovisual communication takes place at different locations and in a large variety of acoustic environments. In consequence, the intelligibility as well as the quality of speech may significantly be degraded by ambient background noise. In order to improve speech intelligibility and to ensure a convenient communication with high audio quality, speech enhancement techniques are required. In this thesis all critical components contributing to the enhancement of the up-link signal are addressed: signal capturing at the acoustic front-end with a new near field beamformer new codebook based speech and noise estimation procedure generating and exploiting reliability information, and actual noise reduction exploiting spectral dependencies of human speech.For the acoustic front-end of the digital processing chain a novel concept for the filter optimization of a near field beamfor

Verlag G. Mainz Digital Enhancement of Speech Perception in Noisy
Book SynopsisIn many everyday situations, people try to listen to speech from a loudspeaker, but the speech perception is affected by background noise. The location of a listener is called the near-end. Some applications in which this problem arises are mobile phones, public address systems, car entertainment systems, hearing aids, or head phones. Depending on the application, the speech may either be a recording, or, in case of communication systems, it may come live from a person speaking at the so-called far-end. Although it is usually not possible to cancel the near-end noise source, the speech perception can be enhanced nevertheless by adaptively pre-processing the loudspeaker signal. To find out in which way the speech should be pre-processed, it is beneficial to know the near-end noise characteristics and take them into account. The knowledge can be gained from a near-end microphone that is located close to the listener. This pre-processing technique is called Near-End Listening Enhanceme

Verlag G. Mainz ContinuousAmplitude Error Protection of
Book SynopsisTransmitting analog audio, video, or sensor data with a digital system requires sampling and quantization. While a sampled bandlimited signal can be reconstructed perfectly if the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem is met, quantization unavoidably adds irreversible errors. Given a certain bitrate for quantization (or source coding in general), the achievable signal quality is therefore limited. Transmission of the signal over a noisy channel causes additional errors. If some part of the bitrate is used for protecting the signal with a channel code, these additional errors can be reduced or even eliminated. However, this reduces the achievable maximum quality if the gross bitrate is fixed. Since this compromise between quantization and channel coding is often designed for the worst-case channel, the signal quality saturates early with increasing channel quality, and transmission over a better channel is far below optimum.Instead of conventional digital systems, this thesis cover

Verlag G. Mainz Construction of RateCompatible Codes from
Book SynopsisTransmitting information enables technical applications modern societies are built on. This thesis focuses on channel coding, a fundamental building block of communications systems that transmit information using noisy channels. In his seminal work presented in 1948, Shannon laid ground for the mathematical theory of information and its transmission. Formalizing the notion of a noisy channel as a statistical model, Shannon establishes the maximum rate at which information may be transmitted. This upper bound, referred to as the channel's capacity, is strict. At rates below the capacity of a given channel, information may be transmitted and recovered at the receiver, while there is no hope for doing so without a positive error probability at rates exceeding that capacity. To protect against transmission errors, channel codes add redundancy to the information, which supports a channel decoder located at the receiver in recovering the information. The field of channel coding is concern

Verlag G. Mainz Active Noise and Occlusion Effect Cancellation in
Book SynopsisThe perception of one's own voice is distorted when telephoning with headsets, or wearing hearing aids. The reason for this is the so-called occlusion effect, which occurs when ear canals are completely or partially closed by the headset or hearing aid. The occlusion causes amplification at low frequencies, and attenuation at high frequencies of one's own voice. The unnatural perception of one's own voice and of noise caused by chewing and swallowing are among the most common complaints of users. Furthermore, environmental noise might impair perception. In this thesis, both the unnatural perception of one's own voice and the disturbance by environmental noise are tackled by a novel signal processing approach. The proposed solution solves the problem of the occlusion effect by actively emitting a compensation signal through the integrated loudspeaker. The approach is called Occlusion Effect Cancellation (OEC) and significantly improves the perception of one's own voice and of the aco
