In this paper a new speech compression method is presented. The traditional speech compression method is based on linear prediction. The compression method, proposed in this paper, is based on the use of an orthogonal transform, the discrete cosine packets transform. This method is well suited for the speech processing, taking into account the sine model of this kind of signals and because this transform converges asymptotically to the Karhunen-Lofleve transform. After the computation of the discrete cosine packets transform, the coefficients obtained are processed with a threshold detector, who keeps only the coefficients superior to a given threshold. This way the number of non zero coefficients is reduced doing the compression. The next block of the compression system is the quantization system. This is build following the speech psycho-acoustic model. The proposed compression method is transparent, the compression rate obtained is important and the operations number and the memory volume used are not very high.

Speaking Style

This study aims to determine the extent to which the teaching staff in the Semarang State Polytechnic Accounting Department applies a style of speech; i.e. either oratory, deliberative, consultative, relaxed, or intimate. The data collection is done by questionnaire and class observation. The population of this study consists of teaching staff at the Semarang State Polytechnic Accounting Department. The data is more qualitative, which is more in the form of a description of the characteristics of the respondents and not much related to the numbers. Sampling technique is done by population, namely all teaching staff of Semarang State Polytechnic Accounting Department. Data analysis is carried out by a Likert Scale of 5. The results indicate that Consultative Speech is the style most widely applied by the Teaching Staff of the Semarang State Polytechnic Accounting Department, while the oratoric speaking style is the least practiced style. Extemporan presentation method is the most widely applied method in the activities of the Teaching and Learning Process in the Semarang State Polytechnic Accounting Department, while the impromptu method is the least applied method. The most widely used body language is a smile, while eye flicker is the least applied body language. The distance between the Teaching Staff and Students in the Teaching and Learning Process activities that are most widely applied are groups (125-350 cm), while the least applied distance is intimate (50 cm). The results of this study support the previous research that the use of Body Language greatly affects the success of the Teaching and Learning process.
