with a balance between theory and engineering practice. The book presents the architecture, design and testing of a variety of wireless positioning systems based on the time-of-arrival, signal strength, and angle-of-arrival measurements. These techniques are essential for developing accurate wireless positioning systems which can operate reliably in both indoor and outdoor environments where the Global Positioning System (GPS) proves to be inadequate. The book covers a wide range of issues including radio propagation, parameter identification, statistical signal processing, optimization, and localization in large and multi-hop networks. A comprehensive study on the state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies in wireless positioning and tracking is provided, including anchor-based and anchor-free localisation in wireless sensor networks (WSN). The authors address real world issues such as multipath, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation, accuracy limitations and measurement errors. Presenting the latest advances in the field, Ground Based Wireless Positioning is one of the first books to cover non-GPS based technologies for wireless positioning. It serves as an indispensable reference for researchers and engineers specialising in the fields of localization and tracking, and wireless sensor networks. . Provides a comprehensive treatment of methodologies and algorithms for positioning and tracking. Includes practical issues and case studies in designing real wireless positioning systems. Explains non-line-of-sight (NLOS) radio propagation and NLOS mitigation techniques. Balances solid theory with engineering practice of non-GPS wireless systems.IEEE Press series on digital & mobile communication.Location-based servicesRadio direction findersMobile geographic information systemsLocation-based services.Radio direction finders.Mobile geographic information systems.621.384Yu Kegen845916Sharp Ian845917Guo Y.

Famous for Being Famous: Persona, Performance, and the Case for Zsa Zsa Gabor --NOTES --INDEX --ABOUT THE AUTHORBathing beauty Esther Williams, bombshell Jane Russell, exotic Carmen Miranda, chanteuse Lena Horne, and talk-show fixture Zsa Zsa Gabor are rarely hailed as great actors or as naturalistic performers. Those terms of praise are given to male stars like Marlon Brando and James Dean, whose gritty dramas are seen as a departure from the glossy spectacles in which these stars appeared. Like a Natural Woman challenges those assumptions, revealing the skill and training that went into the work of these five actresses, who employed naturalistic performance techniques, both onscreen and off. Bringing a fresh perspective to film history through the lens of performance studies, Kirsten Pullen explores the ways in which these actresses, who always appeared to be "playing themselves," responded to the naturalist notion that actors should create authentic characters by drawing from their own lives. At the same time, she examines how Hollywood presented these female stars as sex objects, focusing on their spectacular bodies at the expense of believable characterization or narratives. Pullen not only helps us appreciate what talented actresses these five women actually were, but also reveals how they sought to express themselves and maintain agency, even while meeting the demands of their directors, studios, families, and fans to perform certain feminine roles. Drawing from a rich collection of classic films, publicity materials, and studio archives, Like a Natural Woman lets us take a new look at both Hollywood acting techniques and the performance of femininity itself.Women in motion picturesMotion picture actors and actressesCaliforniaLos AngelesEsther Williams, Jane Russell, Carmen Miranda, Lena Horne, Zsa Zsa Gabor.Women in motion pictures.Motion picture actors and actresses791.4302/809252AP 50300rvkPullen Kirsten1505717MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787169003321Like a natural woman3735471UNINA
