  • Tożsamość i przestrzeń. Wokół gdańskich retoryk tożsamościowych

    W długim procesie kształtowania tożsamości Gdańska ważną rolę odgrywają pamięć i przestrzeń. W nowym dyskursie tożsamościowym nie tracą one na znaczeniu, lecz obok stałych fundamentów narracji tożsamościowej (wielokulturowość, architektura, pamięć), pojawiają się nowe opowieści miejskie obejmujące różne wymiary refleksji wskazujące na złożoność: wielowymiarowość i wielowarstwowość gdańskich tożsamości. W pamięci zbiorowej gdańszczan...

  • A method for testing the wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering assumption fulfillment for an underwater acoustic channel

    Wide-sense stationary and uncorrelated scattering (WSSUS) assumptions are often applied for the statistical description of wireless communication channels. However, in the case of underwater acoustic channels the WSSUS model is of limited value. The degree of similarity of in-phase and quadrature components of the channel impulse response, measured with the use of bandpass modulated signals, can be used as an indicator of WSSUS...
