  This project shows some selected signal techniques, including image and audio processing, using the Matlab digital signal processing and image processing toolboxes. The project is divided to 3 parts.Part I includes design and implementation of different types of filters for filtering signal that has different sinusoidal frequency components or noise. The comparison was made between FIR low pass flter, butterworth filter, Chebycheve Type I low pass filter and Chebycheve Type II low pass filter. Then different types of IIR Butterworth filters were designed and implemented to filter a signal that has many harmonics components, including low pass filter, high pass filter, stop band filter and band pass filter.Part II examined audio filtering in the sense of specific frequency suppression and extraction. There are many different types of filters available for the construction of filters. We will specifically use the Butterworth filter. An audio signal was read and different types of filters, including low pass filter, high pass filter, stop band filter and band pass filter, were designed and implemented in order to filter the audio signal from some frequency bands. Then the discrete cosine transform compression examined on the audio signal  at different compression rates: 50%, 75% , 87.5% Part III deals with image processing; the project shows examples in smoothing, sharpening, and edge detection. Other useful operations on the image were tested, including image cropping, image resizing, image, histogram equalization and altering image brightness

  Airstrikes rain down, Gatling guns pound, and snipers lurk in the distance—welcome to the combat aid station of a young doctor embedded with the heavily weaponized First Marines Division as the Battle of Fallujah boils over.On the night of April 4th, 2004, First Marine Expeditionary Forces launch a major assault on the city of Fallujah. US Navy Lieutenant Donnelly Wilkes's battalion leads the assault into Fallujah as he is positioned with Navy corpsmen and marines at the tactical highway intersection called "The Cloverleaf." Rarely have US military physicians been so close to combat in a major conflict as they were in the chaotic, embattled streets of Fallujah—Code Red Fallujah will take you there.Sharing the harrowing entries from his field diary, Wilkes becomes the first-ever Navy physician to recount the sights and sounds of one of the most violent events of the entire Iraq War. In heart-pounding detail, he divulges his struggles to save wounded warriors amidst rockets landing close enough to knock him off his feet. When Wilkes—fresh out of medical school—is suddenly thrust into this war zone, his skills, his faith, and his ability to endure are all put to the test. Code Red Fallujah is the firsthand narrative of Wilkes's role in the Battle of Fallujah, scintillating combat trauma, and the spiritual challenges that pierced his journey.

  How the Government Got in Your Backyard distills the science, the politics, and the unbiased, nonpartisan truth behind hot-button environmental issues from pesticides to global warming. By clearly representing what the left says, what the right says, what the science is, and what the facts are, Gillman and Heberlig don't set out to provide the answer - they light the path so concerned citizens can uncover their own true and informed opinion. In this season of political discontent, the unbiased truth about environmental policies - free of political agendas - is as refreshing as it is fascinating. How the Government Got in Your Backyard is not for Republicans or Democrats, liberals or conservatives. It's for anyone who is ready to get to the bottom line.
