The workshop goal was to equip new faculty members to become what Robert Boice calls "quick starters", who meet or exceed their institution's expectations for both research productivity and teaching effectiveness in their first one to two years. Two days were devoted to research program startup and management, two to effective teaching, and the final morning to managing time, integrating into campus culture, and earning tenure and promotion. The participants were unanimously and overwhelmingly positive in their responses following the workshop, and their enthusiasm has continued at gatherings and in surveys in the months that followed. This paper describes the workshop content and activities, summarizes follow-up support and assessment plans, and offers suggestions for planning and implementing similar programs.}, number={2001 October}, booktitle={2001 Frontiers in Education Conference Proceedings, Reno, NV, October 2001}, author={Brent, R. and Felder, R.

Results are presented which show LMS may provide almost 2 bits per symbol reduction in transmitted bit rate compared to DPCM when distortion levels are approximately the same for both methods. Alternatively, LMS can be used in fixed bit-rate environments to decrease the reconstructed image distortion. When compared with fixed coefficient DPCM, reconstructed image distortion is reduced by as much as 6-7 dB using LMS. Last, pictorial results representative of LMS processing are presented.}, number={3}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ACOUSTICS SPEECH AND SIGNAL PROCESSING}, author={ALEXANDER, ST and RAJALA, SA}, year={1985}, pages={712–714} }
