This book treats the various aspects of noise from magnetic recording media and the impact on system performance. Several authors present discussions of: materials and processes used to fabricate media for computer data storage, theoretical aspects of noise and micromagnetic behavior, experimental methods and characterization, and system analysis. In the past decade thin film recording media have largely displaced particlate media in rigid disk recording systems. During the same period of time the field has evolved from the prevalent belief that thin film media were virtually noiseless to a detailed understanding of the origin and the manifestation of noise in these new media. This understanding has lead to the ability to make the very low noise media needed in present applications. The present state of understanding of both particulate and thin film media is summarized.

This volume contains 30 of David Brillinger's most influential papers. He is an eminent statistical scientist, having published broadly in time series and point process analysis, seismology, neurophysiology, and population biology. Each of these areas are well represented in the book. The volume has been divided into four parts, each with comments by one of Dr. Brillinger's former PhD students. His more theoretical papers have comments by Victor Panaretos from Switzerland. The area of time series has commentary by Pedro Morettin from Brazil. The biologically oriented papers are commented by Tore Schweder from Norway and Haiganoush Preisler from USA, while the point process papers have comments by Peter Guttorp from USA. In addition, the volume contains a Statistical Science interview with Dr. Brillinger, and his bibliography.

Spectral analysis requires subjective decisions which influence the final estimate and mean that different analysts can obtain different results from the same stationary stochastic observations. Statistical signal processing can overcome this difficulty, producing a unique solution for any set of observations but that is only acceptable if it is close to the best attainable accuracy for most types of stationary data. This book describes a method which fulfils the above near-optimal-solution criterion, taking advantage of greater computing power and robust algorithms to produce enough candidate models to be sure of providing a suitable candidate for given data.

Physical Techniques in Biological Research Volume VI: Electrophysiological Methods presents the analytical methods and experimental techniques in electrophysiological research. It discusses the handling and analysis of information by computer methods. It addresses the methods of analysis of waveforms, signal characterization and detection. Some of the topics covered in the book are the fundamentals of digital and analog computers; analysis of complex waveforms; operational amplifiers; signal processing and parameter estimation; the core conductor model; voltage clamp techniques; cable theory; automatic computation equipment; and electric accounting machinery. The wave shape generation are covered. The characterization of systematic functions is discussed. The text describes the nerve containing axial wire. A study of the internal thin and outer diffuse electrodes is presented. A chapter is devoted to the simple one dimensional model. Another section focuses on the cylindrical model with radial symmetry and accuracy of membrane potential measurement. The book can provide useful information to experimenters, students, and researchers.
