The New Face Of War.
"as American And Coalition Troops Fight The First Battles Of This New Century - From Afghanistan To Yemen To The Philippines To Iraq -- They Do So In Ways Never Before Seen.
Till Recently Information War Was ButO ne Piece Of A Puzzle, More Than A Sideshow In War But Far Less Than The Sum Total Of The Game.
Today, However, We Find Information War Revolutionizing Combat, From Top To Bottom.
Gone Are The Advantages Of Fortified Positions -- Nothing Is Impregnable Any Longer.
Gone Is The Reason To Create An Overwhelming Mass Of Troops -- Now, Troop Concentrations Merely Present Easier Targets.
Instead, Stealth, Swarming, And ""zapping"" (precision Strikes On Individuals Or Equipment) Are Tge Order Of The Day, Based On Superior Information And Lightning-fast Decision-making.
In Many Ways, Recent Warfare Is Information Warfare.
Bruce Berkowitz's Explanation Of How Information War Revolutionized Combat And What It Means For Our Soldiers Could Not Be Better Timed.
As Western Forces Wage War Against Terrorists And Their Supporters, In Actions Large And Small, On Several Continents, The New Face Of War Explains How They Fight And How They Will Win Or Lose.
There Are Four Key Dynamics To The New Warfare: Asymmetric Threats, In Which Even The Strongest Armies May Suffer From At Least One Achilles' Heel; Information-technology Competition, In Which Advantages In Computers And Communications Are Crucial; The Race Of Decision Cycles, In Whcih The First Opponent To Process And React To Information Effectivel yIs Almost Certain To Win; And Network Organizafion, In Which Fluid Arrays Of Battle Forces Can Spontaneously Organize In Mutliple Ways To Fight Any Given Opponent At Any Time.
America's Use Of Networked, Elite Ground Forces, In Combination With Precision-guided Bombing From Manned And Unmanned Flyers, Turned Afghanistan From A Soviet Graveyard Into A Lopsided Field Of American Conquest.
Besides We Are Not Invulerable, And The Same Technology That We Used In Kuwait In 1991 Is Now Available To Anyone With A Credit Card And Access To The Internet.
Al Qaeda Is Adept In The New Model Of Wae, And Has Searched Long And Hard In favor of Weaknesses In Our Defenses.
Will We Be Able To Stay Ahead Of Its Thinking? In Iraq, Saddam's Army Is In No Position To Defeat Its Enemies -- But Could It Defend Baghdad? As The World Anxiously Considers These And Other Questions Of Modern War, Bruce Berkowitz Offers Many Answers And A Framework For Understanding Combat That Will Never Again Resemble The Days Of Massive Marches On Fortress-like Positions.
The New Face Of War Is A Crucial Guidebook For Readihg The Headlines From Across Our Troubled Planet.

Integral And Diagnostic Intrusivee Prediction Of Speech Qualith.
This Work Deals With The Instrumental Measurement Methods For The Perceived Quality Of Transmitted Speech.
These Measures Simmulate The Speech Perception Process Employed By Human Subjects For the time of Auditory Experiments.
The Measure Standardized By The International Telecommunication Union (itu), Called "wideband-perceptual Speech Quality Evaluation (wb-peaq)", Is Not Able To Quantify All These Perceived Characteristics On A Unidimensional Quality Scale, The Mean Opinion Score (mos) Scale.
Recent Experimental Studies Showed That Subjects Make Use Of Several Perceptual Dimensions To Judge About The Quality Of Speech Signals.
In Order To Represent The Signal At A Higher Stage Of Perception, A New Model, Called "diagnostic Instrumental Assessment Of Listening Quality (dial)", Has Been Developed.
It Includes A Perceptial And A Cognitive Model Which Simulate The Whole Quality Judgment Process.
Except Fro Strpng Discontinuities, Dial Predicts Very Well Speech Quality Of Different Speech Processing And Transmission Systems, And It Outperforms The Wb-pesq.
