Toward Speaking Excellence
Author: Dean Papajohn
Publisher: University of Michigan Press ELT
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
The new edition of Toward Speaking Excellence addresses the recent changes to the Test of Spoken English (TSE(R)). The text introduces readers to the format of the new TSE(R), typical questions, and scoring criteria. The second edition of Toward Speaking Excellence includes actual student responses that are used or modified to highlight specific characteristics of effective communication. Two complete sample TSE(R)-like tests are included for further practice. Also provided are practice with some of the skills that, while no longer tested on the TSE(R), are key to sounding more native-like and fluent. Toward Speaking Excellence may be used as an individual study tool or as a course text. While the material is directed toward the TSE(R) and SPEAK(R) tests, the communication strategies presented will prepare students for other types of oral exams (including the TAST(R), interviews, and performance tests. Toward Speaking Excellence is a course book but may also be used for individual test-preparation/self-study. Dean Papajohn is a Specialist in Education at the Center for Teaching Excellence, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign..

Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
Author: Nicolas Gillis
Publisher: SIAM
ISBN: 1611976413
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) in its modern form has become a standard tool in the analysis of high-dimensional data sets. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the most important aspects of the NMF problem and is the first to detail its theoretical aspects, including geometric interpretation, nonnegative rank, complexity, and uniqueness. It explains why understanding these theoretical insights is key to using this computational tool effectively and meaningfully. Nonnegative Matrix Factorization is accessible to a wide audience and is ideal for anyone interested in the workings of NMF. It discusses some new results on the nonnegative rank and the identifiability of NMF and makes available MATLAB codes for readers to run the numerical examples presented in the book. Graduate students starting to work on NMF and researchers interested in better understanding the NMF problem and how they can use it will find this book useful. It can be used in advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses on numerical linear algebra and on advanced topics in numerical linear algebra and requires only a basic knowledge of linear algebra and optimization.

Distributed Optical Fiber Sensing
Author: Luc Thevenaz
Publisher: Wiley
ISBN: 9781118331507
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Serving as a unique, efficient solution to modern demands for security and safety sensing, distributed optical fiber sensing are critical components in areas such as natural disaster prevention and civil engineering. The unique book provides detailed explanations on how to install early warning systems for the prevention of natural disasters, flaws in civil engineering structures (dams, bridges, tunnels), and issues in the oil industry (pipeline leakage detection, off-shore platform anchoring.) Addressing the principles and specificities of distributed fiber sensing, this resource shows different possible implementations, their potential, and their limitations.
