Simulating Conversations for the Prediction of Speech Quality
This book discusses the simulation of conversations through a novel approach of predicting speech quality based on the interactions of two simulated interlocutors. The author describes the setup of a simulation environment that is capable of simulating human dialogue on the speech level. The impact of delay and bursty packet loss on VoIP conversations is investigated and modeled for the use in the simulation. Based on parameters extracted from simulated conversations, the author proposes extensions to the E-model, a parametric model standardized by the International Telecommunications Union, in order to predict the quality of the simulated conversations. The author shows that predictions based on the simulated conversations outperform models that rely on the transmission parameters alone.

Avidly Reads Screen Time
What happens when screen time is all the time? In the early 1990s, the phrase "screen time" emerged to scare parents about the dangers of too much TV for kids. Screen time was something to fret over, police, and judge in a low-grade moral panic. Now, "screen time" has become a metric not only for good parenting, but for our adult lives as well. There's even an app for it! In the streaming era-and with streaming made nearly ubiquitous during COVID-19-almost every aspect of our day is mediated by these bright surfaces. Whether it was ever the real villain in the first place, or merely a convenient proxy for unaddressed familial, social, and institutional failures, screen time is now all the time. Avidly Reads Screen Time is a funny, insightful work of cultural criticism and history about how we define screens, and how they now define us. From Mad Men to iCarly, Vine to FaceTime, binge-watching to doom-scrolling, Phillip Maciak leads us on a sometimes heartwarming, sometimes harrowing tour of the media that brings us together and tears us apart.

HMI Instrumentation in Electronic Engineering
The project starts with the assembly of the Hall effect sensors, which will allow the sensing of the electrical variables of interest in the electrical machines under test. Once the sensors are working, computational tools will be programmed through LabVIEW programming to perform computer monitoring using a data acquisition card.

There is also a 9 kVA three-phase power supply, which is programmable (it can handle 1 or 2 phases) and allows the injection of harmonic currents and voltages to the loads connected to it. On the other hand, there are single-phase and three-phase rotating electrical machines, as well as a three-phase transformer.
Fractional Behaviours Modelling
This book is dedicated to the analysis and modelling of fractional behaviours that mainly result from physical stochastic phenomena (diffusion, adsorption or aggregation, etc.) of a population (ions, molecules, people, etc.) in a constrained environment and that can be found in numerous areas.

This book is dedicated to postgraduated students and to researchers in the field or those who wish to learn with a fresh perspective. After a review of fractional models and their limitations, it proposes and demonstrates the interest of four other modelling tools to capture fractional behaviours: new kernels in integral operators, Volterra equations, nonlinear models and partial differential equations with spatially variable coefficients. Several applications on real data and devices illustrate their efficiency.

Artificial Intelligence (HAARP)
We present results from the ionospheric heating experiment conducted at the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facility, Alaska. During the experiment, HAARP transmitted in the direction of the magnetic zenith X-mode 4.57-MHz wave. The transmitted power was modulated with the frequency of 0.9 mHz, and it was pointed on a 20-km spot at the altitude of 120 km. The heating (1) generates disturbances in the magnetic field detected with the fluxgate magnetometer on the ground and (2) produces bright luminous spots in the ionosphere, observed with the HAARP telescope. Numerical simulations of the 3-D reduced magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model reveal that these effects can be related to the magnetic field-aligned currents, excited in the ionosphere by changing the conductivity in the E region when the large-scale electric field exists in the heating region.Sudden changes of the solar wind dynamic pressure have significant impacts on the dynamics of the magnetosphere‐ionosphere system, a sudden decrease in solar wind dynamic pressure was observed by the Wind satellite, which drove the entire magnetosphere‐ionosphere system as recorded in many ground‐based and space‐based.

Principles of Village Design in Architecture
A look at the stages of historical development of many cities in our country leads us to the fact that although urban development in them was accompanied by quantitative development of the city and an increase in construction along with an increase in urban incomes, but in terms of environmental quality, this development has been associated with many challenges.

Topological Obstructions to Stability and Stabilization
This open access book provides a unified overview of topological obstructions to the stability and stabilization of dynamical systems defined on manifolds and an overview that is self-contained and accessible to the control-oriented graduate student. The authors review the interplay between the topology of an attractor, its domain of attraction, and the underlying manifold that is supposed to contain these sets. They present some proofs of known results in order to highlight assumptions and to develop extensions, and they provide new results showcasing the most effective methods to cope with these obstructions to stability and stabilization. Moreover, the book shows how Borsuk's retraction theory and the index-theoretic methodology of Krasnosel'skii and Zabreiko underlie a large fraction of currently known results. This point of view reveals important open problems, and for that reason, this book is of interest to any researcher in control, dynamical systems, topology, or relatedfields.
