Cloth. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. First Edition. vii, [1], 460 pages. 8vo. 9 x 6 inches. Margins trimmed (not affecting the text), bound in blue buckram with gilt titles (NOT exlibrary). Includes all four quarterly issues of the Bell System Technical Journal (Volume 23). Original issue covers were not bound into this example. The article by Rice found on pp 282-332 in the July 1944 issue. Bright, clean, and sound. Text block with red speckled ink. Cloth. Rice's most important paper among many contributions during his time at Bell Laboratories. The paper was concluded in the 1945, January, Vol. XXIV, No. 1 issue of the Bell System Technical Journal. "One could cite other contributions of similar unusual merit, but it is for the monumental paper "Mathematical Analysis of Random Noise," published in two parts in the Bell System Technical Journal, Vol. 23, July 1944, pp. 282-332, and Vol. 24, January 1945, pp. 46-156, that Steve will be best remembered. This long paper, really a treatise, laid the foundations of noise theory and at the same time solved many of its most interesting, important, and difficult problems. The paper has been of utmost importance in communication theory, ocean engineering, material engineering, aircraft design and analysis, and many other fields of technology where random phenomena play a significant role. That today, forty- six years later, this work is cited fifty times or more a year in papers from a dozen different fields is testimony to its enduring contribution."

New York, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1945. 8vo. Original full green cloth. Volume XXIV, 1945 of "The Bell System Technical Journal". Library stamp to free front end-paper and title-page. Minor bumping to extremities. A nice and clean copy. [Mentioned article:] Pp: 46-156. [Entire issue: V, (3), 467]. First publication of the Rice Distribution, or Rician distribution. Today the paper is widely recognized as a classic within the field of statistics and probability theory. The Rice distribution is an extension of the Rayleigh distribution that adds a coherent signal to the backscattered signal that underlies the Rayleigh distribution.The model is named after Stephen O. Rice who worked at Bell Labs for nearly forty years. His most famous and influential publication is the present article" in 1983 he was awarded the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal.

New York, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1944. 8vo. In the original printed blue wrappers. In "The Bell System Technical Journal", Volume XXIII, Number 3, January 1944. Entire issue offered. Light miscolouring to spine and previous owner's signature to front wrapper. Other wise a very fine and clean copy. Pp. 282-332. [Entire issue: Pp. 207-336.]. First printings of this seminal paper which constitute the beginning of the research with was to be known as Rice Distribution, or Rician distribution. it is considered a classic within the field of statistics and probability theory. The Rice distribution is an extension of the Rayleigh distribution that adds a coherent signal to the backscattered signal that underlies the Rayleigh distribution.The model is named after Stephen O. Rice who worked at Bell Labs for nearly forty years. His most famous and influential publication is the present article" in 1983 he was awarded the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal. "In 1944 and 1945, S. O. Rice published a monumental study of noise, generally regarded to be the single most useful source of information about Gaussian noise." (Millman, A History of Engineering & Science in the Bell System, 1984, p. 41).

New York, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1944, 1945 & 1948. 8vo. 3 issues of "The Bell System Technical Journal" offered. 1944, July, Vol. XXIII, No. 3" 1945, January, Vol. XXIV, No. 1 1948, January, Vol. XXVII, No. 1. All in the original printed blue wrappers. Some wear and sunning to spine, otherwise fine and clean copies. Pp. 282-332 46-156 109-157. First printings of all three papers that together describe the Rice Distribution, or Rician distribution. The present series of papers is considered a classic within the field of statistics and probability theory.
