The Ghetto Bastard: A Portable Noise Instrument
نویسنده
چکیده
Due to the accelerating development of ‘rapidly to become redundant’ technologies, there is a growing mountain of perfectly serviceable discarded electronic devices hiding quietly at the bottom of almost every domestic rubbish pile or at the back of nearly every second hand shop. If you add in to this scenario the accelerating nature of our society where people don’t have time or the motivation in their lives to sell or auction their redundant electronics, one can discover a plethora of discarded materials available for salvage. Using this as a starting point, I have produced a portable noise instrument from recycled materials, that is primarily an artistic led venture, built specifically for live performance.

An Experimental Investigation of Enclosure’s Effect on Noise Reduction in Portable Generators (Technical Note)
The portable generators are the main means of compensating the shortage of national electricity power as in Iraq. However, their noise causes a huge disturbance, uncomforting and loss of concentration of the nearby resident. This problem requires a solution because most shops and residential houses use generators. Covering method is a simple and relatively low cost one for reduction of generato...

متن کاملA Portable Automatic Digital Modulation Scanner
In this paper a portable automatic digital modulation scanner is described. This novel instrument has been designed including a pre-processor, able to divide the spectrum in sub-bands and to detect the incoming signals in each band, and a classifier, able in processing the detected signals and estimating their modulation types. The new instrument has been evaluated by several experimental tests...
متن کاملWhat Is a Ghetto?
Although the social sciences have made extensive use of the term “ghetto” as a descriptive term, they have failed to forge a robust analytical concept of the same, relying instead on the folk notions taken for granted at each epoch in the society under examination. This article constructs a relational concept of the ghetto as a Janus-faced instrument of ethnoracial closure and control by drawin...
متن کاملA Critical Study of the Well-known Opinion of Shiite Jurists on the Inheritance of a Bastard
According to the well-known opinion of Shiite jurists a child born out of wedlock is prohibited from inheriting from his/her own natural parents. This rule, however, is not among those consensual laws which accept no new rereading. The evidence supporting this law is, basically, some single hadiths (khabar wāhid) which suffer from weakness in terms of authenticity and indication and implication...
