However, the last twenty years of ANC rule has been criticized for the failure to bring higher living standards for the formerly oppressed. READ MORE

  4. 2. Linear Quadratic Gaussian Controllers for Feedforward Active Noise Control : Pushing Performance and Moving Towards Adaptive Control

    Author : Annea Barkefors; Mikael Sternad; Anders Ahlén; Lars-Johan Brännmark; Bengt Carlsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; active noise control; ANC; LQG; feedforward control; sound field control; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot reglerteknik; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Automatic Control;

    Abstract : Active noise control is a research area focused on using destructive interference of sound fields to attenuate undesired noise. Methods for active noise control are best suited for low frequency noise, as the complexity of the problem grows rapidly with frequency. READ MORE

  5. 3. Active Control of Propeller-Induced Noise in Aircraft : Algorithms & Methods

    Author : Sven Johansson; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; active control of sound; active noise control; anc; actuator individual normalized filtered-x lms; filtered-x lms algorithm; newton algorithm; complex lms; multireference algorithm; leaky lms; control effort weighting; feedforward control; feedback contro;

    Abstract : In the last decade acoustic noise has become more and more regarded as a problem. In cars, boats, trains and aircraft, low-frequency noise reduces comfort. Lightweight materials and more powerful engines are used in high-speed vehicles, resulting in a general increase in interior noise levels. READ MORE

  6. 4. Creating spaces for action. ANC-women politicians' views on bridewealth and gender-related power
