Alias
A naming convention has been applied to Web Servers at Murdoch University This convention uses the assignment of aliases in a preferred format For organisation units or resource areas the format is www orgunitname murdoch edu au The name of the organisation unit or resource area therefore appears to be a sub-domain of the murdoch edu au domain For functions, services, application systems and publications, aliases assigned use a preferred format of title murdoch edu au The Web Server aliases associated with computer hosts have been entered into the Domain Name Server (DNS) Aliases using the previous naming convention of wwworgunitname murdoch edu au and wwwtitle murdoch edu au are still used

Alias
A feature of UNIX shells that enables users to define program names (and parameters) and commands with abbreviations When an alias is used in a command line, the system substitutes the alias definition for the abbreviation (the alias) For example, the following command creates an alias called ls: % alias ls `ls -l` Whenever you use the ls command, the operating system interprets the command as ls -l, That is, instead of just listing the files in a directory, it lists the files with additional attributes such as owner, date, and protections For more information, see "Using Aliases" in the "For Advanced Users" section of Chapter 3, Using Programs

aliasing
Unwanted visual effects caused by insufficient sampling resolution or inadequate filtering to completely define an object; most commonly seen as a jagged or stepped edge along object boundaries or along lines
aliasing
- A phenomenon, which can occur whenever a signal is not sampled at greater than twice the maximum bandwidth of the signal Causes high frequency signals to appear at low frequencies Filtering the signal to a bandwidth less than ½ the sample rate minimizes Aliasing When the signal starts at 0 Hz (baseband signals), bandwidth can be exchanged to maximum frequency in the definition above
aliasing
Aliasing is what happens when a signal is sampled (converted to digital form) too slowly Specifically, if a signal contains frequencies above half the sampling rate, the sampled version of the signal will have frequencies (aliases) that aren't in the original signal This limit of half the sampling rate is known as the Nyquist limit For example, the CDP samples at 12288 Hz, so if the input signal contains frequencies higher than 6144 Hz the digital signal will not accurately represent the actual signal That is a rather incomplete description of aliasing If you'd like to learn more, the University of California at Santa Cruz has a general discussion of converting a signal to digital form
aliasing
A phenomenon caused by sampling analogue data at too-low a frequency It results in a digital reconstruction of the original signal at a false, lower frequency This causes higher frequency signals to appear in a spectrum at lower frequencies (Aliasing terms) When analogue signals are digitised, the analogue input must be sampled at a rate at least twice the bandwidth of the signal to avoid loss of data (Nyquist Theorem)
aliasing
(1) (n ) The jagged artifact in a line or in the silhouette of a curve that results from drawing on a raster grid It is especially noticeable in low-resolution monitors Also called jaggies See also antialiasing (2) (n ) See command aliasing
aliasing
{i} (Computers) process through which curved lines appear to have a jagged edge due to low-end graphics capabilities; creation of a false frequency when sampling audio data (caused by a low sampling rate)
aliasing
A set of problematic effects resulting from the usual method of displaying *scalable images on low-resolution screens When converting these images to *bitmaps for display, samples are taken from the theoretical mathematical image, usually at the pixel centres The influence of what is happening at these more or less arbitrary points is thereby greatly exaggerated, causing jagged edges, "pimples" and other undesirable effects (We should really be considering what is happening over the complete area covered by each pixel ) The approach to the problem that takes the generic term, *anti-aliasing, normally denotes careful shading of border pixels Another approach (distinct but complementary) is *hinting, a set of techniques that can in principle regularize features of any graphic, but in practice is confined to font technology
aliasing
The erroneous interpretation of high-frequency signals as lower-frequency signals Such misinterpretations are an expected result of making discrete measurements with sampling devices such as analog-to-digital (A/D) converters See also anti-aliasing filters
aliasing
In graphic design, aliasing occurs when a computer monitor, printer, or graphics file does not have a high enough resolution to represent a graphic image or text An aliased image is often said to have the "jaggies "
aliasing
In audio sampling, a distortion-producing reflection caused by the fact that all frequency components higher than half the sampling frequency are reflected in the lower range Aliasing creates artifacts It can be avoided by processing the waveform to be sampled with a low-pass filter at half the sample rate before digitizing
aliasing
present participle of alias
aliasing
The jagged edges (or staircasing) that result from drawing an image on a raster device such as a computer screen Compare antialiasing
aliasing
1 In spectral analysis, error which is due to undersampling One may wish to sample a signal that is known to be band-limited, but whose bandwidth is not known a priori The Fourier transform of Shannon's series is periodic; aliasing is of the form of an overlapping, or superposition of these "replicated" spectra See also Nyquist sampling rate and aliased response 2 In computer graphics, the jagged artifact in a line or curve that results from drawing on a raster grid 3 In computer programming languages, giving access to a region of memory through more than one language entity (e g , pointers in C or C++) Aliasing makes it harder for compilers to optimize code, as they may not understand all the ways in which a given memory location might be modified
aliasing
Visibly jagged steps along angled lines, or object edges due to sharp tonal contrast between pixels
aliasing
Defects or distortion in a television picture or audio Defects are typically seen as jagged edges on diagonal lines and twinkling or brightening In digital video, aliasing is caused by insufficient sampling or poor filtering of the digital video
aliasing
A phenomenon which can occur whenever a signal is not sampled at greater than twice the maximum frequency component Causes high frequency signals to appear at low frequencies Aliasing is avoided by filtering out signals greater than 1/2 the sample rate
aliasing
Undesired frequencies that are produced when harmonic components within the audio signal being sampled by a digital recording device or generated within a digital sound source lie above the Nyquist frequency Aliasing differs from some other types of noise in that its pitch changes radically when the pitch of the intended sound changes See Nyquist frequency
aliasing
In sampling theory, when an input signal frequency component exceeds the Nyquist limit, the signal is "aliased" or "folded back" or replicated at other frequencies in the frequency spectrum above and below Nyquist Normally, aliasing is due to unwanted signals beyond the Nyquist limit To prevent aliasing, all undesired signals must be filtered adequately so that they are not digitized by the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) Aliasing can be used advantageously when undersampling See also Nyquist and undersampling
aliasing
A type of signal distortion that occurs during A/D conversion if the sampling frequency is less than twice that of the highest audio frequency A/D converters employ aliasing filters to filter out audio frequencies higher than half the sampling frequency See also Nyquist Sampling Theorem
aliasing
A type of distortion caused by sampling at too low a sample rate To avoid aliasing, the sample rate must be at least twice the highest frequency in the sound
aliasing
The misrepresentation of high frequencies from the original signal as low frequencies in the sampled result, due to undersampling Aliasing distorts the letterforms and letter spacing
aliasing
In computer graphics, the jagged appearance of curves or diagonal lines on a display screen This appearance is caused by low screen resolution
aliasing
In a sampled data system, the analog input must be sampled at a rate of at least twice the bandwidth of the signal in order to avoid loss of data (Nyquist Theorem) Adhering to the Nyquist Theorem prevents in-band "alias" signals, which are beat frequencies between the analog signal and the sampling clock that inherently occur
aliasing
A spectrum analysis problem resulting from sampling data at too low a frequency It causes high-frequency signals to appear in a spectrum at low frequencies In a sampled data system, the analog input must be sampled at a rate at least twice the bandwidth of the signal to avoid loss of data (Nyquist Theorem)
