equivalent representation in the frequency domain. The difference is that while the DFT takes a discrete signal in one spatial dimension and transforms it into a set of points in one frequency dimension and the Discrete Cosine Transform (for an 8x8 block of values) takes a 64-point discrete signal‚ which can be thought of as a function of two spatial dimensions x and y‚ and turns them into 64 DCT coefficients which are in terms of the 64 unique orthogonal 2D spectrum as shown in Fig. 1.19.

On our trip to Thorpe Park we experienced the thrills of the rides and were given a talk explaining the science behind them. This will hopefully explain more about the science behind the rides. Firstly the physics behind the rides. The acceleration is what makes rollercoasters so fun and enjoyable and I’ll now explain why they accelerate so quickly.

in the vessel’s sinking in Mobile Bay‚ Alabama‚ Hunley funded by himself a third submarine. The first submarine could supposedly reach 4 knots. In 1863‚ Horace Hunley financed and launched his own submarine at Charleston‚ which he vainly called the H. L. Hunley. Disaster hit during a night-time test run on August 29‚ 1863‚ when the H.L. Hunley suddenly sank even as she pushed off the Charleston wharf and before she could be sealed for dive. Not all crewmen could escape the vessel as it took on water
