Rat-a-tat-tat : phonics workbook : reception.

Para ofrecer una progresiva enseñanza de la fonética, basándose en los libros de imágenes utilizados en la serie de Canal Cuatro. En la página izquierda se presenta una parte de un libro de imágenes que aparecen en la serie de televisión, para que el profesor, en la página de la derecha, proponga ejercicios de fonética según el texto, avanzando en dificultad a través de los tres años de la etapa para cinco a siete años. La enseñanza fónica coincide exactamente con la secuencia de la Estrategia Nacional de Lectura. También puede utilizarse de forma independiente. Para reconocer las consonantes iniciales, S, L, T, J, B, M, E, Z, H, P. Reconocer digrafías iniciales, SH, CH, TH. Tener en cuenta el orden alfabético de:los nombres, los animales. Discriminar los sonidos finales, -AI, -IG, -UG, -AM, -IM, -AT, -ESS.

The development of a computerized version of a revised W-1 word list for obtaining speech reception thresholds

This paper discusses the creation of a condensed list SRT application of the W-1 for the Macintosh computer.

Auditory and audio-visual reception of words in noise by observers with normal and impaired hearing

This dissertation examines auditory perception and audio-visual reception in noise for both hearing-impaired and normal hearing persons, with a goal of determining some of the noise conditions under which amplified acoustic cues for speech can be beneficial to hearing-impaired persons.

Reception of acoustic speech signals as a function of sensation levels by hearing-impaired children

This paper is a review of a study to determine the sensation level at which the best discrimination and recognition occurs for severely and profoundly deaf children and the effect of distortion (peak clipping) has on the child's ability to recognize speech.

A semi-blind reception scheme based on ICA for multiuser MIMO-STBC system

When the orthogonal space-time block code (STBC), or the Alamouti code, is applied on a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications system, the optimum reception can be achieved by a simple signal decoupling at the receiver. The performance, however, deteriorates significantly in presence of co-channel interference (CCI) from other users. In this paper, such CCI problem is overcome by applying the independent component analysis (ICA), a blind source separation algorithm. This is based on the fact that, if the transmission data from every transmit antenna are mutually independent, they can be effectively separated at the receiver with the principle of the blind source separation. Then equivalently, the CCI is suppressed. Although they are not required by the ICA algorithm itself, a small number of training data are necessary to eliminate the phase and order ambiguities at the ICA outputs, leading to a semi-blind approach. Numerical simulation is also shown to verify the proposed ICA approach in the multiuser MIMO system.
