Initial transients in free reed instruments: A survey of experimental results

For free reeds in steady oscillation, the fundamental transverse beam mode dominates, but transverse modes and some torsional modes are also typically present. The motion of the free-reed tongue in early stages of the initial transient has been studied experimentally with the aim of determining the presence of higher modes and their possible role in the attack transient. These transients have been studied for free reeds mounted on a wind chamber with several methods used to initiate the attack transients. The resulting displacement and velocity waveforms have been studied using laser vibrometry, variable impedance transducer proximity sensors, and high speed video with the tracking software. The most realistic procedure used a pallet valve mechanism simulating the attack transient in a key-operated instrument. Short-term spectra derived from the waveforms have been analyzed, showing that both higher transverse modes and some torsional modes are observed in the initial transient, with the second transverse mode and the torsional mode especially prominent in the earlier stages of oscillation. Comparisons of reed tongues of different designs have been made to explore the role of these modes in the initial excitation.
Monzo + IFTTT: Everyday Automation through Programmable Money

We summarise recent work performed by the authors, where we conducted a qualitative study of the recent integration of a UK-based, digital-first mobile banking app - Monzo - with the web automation service IFTTT. Through analysis of 113 unique IFTTT ‘recipes’ shared by Monzo users, we illustrate the potentially diverse functions of these recipes. Beyond achieving more convenient and efficient financial management, we note many playful and expressive applications of conditionality and automation that far extend traditional functions of banking applications and infrastructure. We highlight the different aspects of automation created by these non-expert users to achieve, often novel, financial automation.
Nonlinear generation of sum frequencies in Sitka spruce

It has been known for several decades that there are anomalous frequency components in the sound of a piano. These occur at the sum and difference frequencies of the overtones attributable to string motion, and are commonly referred to as phantom partials. Recent work has shown that, contrary to the generally accepted theory, the majority of power in these frequency components originates in the wooden parts of the piano and not the string. However, the etiology of the nonlinearity is not clear. To determine if the source of the nonlinearity is the stress caused by the pressure of the strings on the soundboard, experiments were performed on isolated pieces of Sitka spruce. The results indicate that stress can significantly increase the nonlinear response of the wood. [Work supported by NSF Grant #PHY-160749.]
Signal detection theory and psychoacoustics

This talk will trace the early history of signal detection theory (SDT) with a particular emphasis on its applications in psychoacoustics. SDT, as developed at the University of Michigan (U-M) in the mid-1950s, revolutionized psychophysics by introducing a core assumption: all sensory judgements are limited by “noise” of one sort or another and, as such, are reflective of underlying decision processes. To test and flesh-out this new theory, early empirical work in vision quickly turned to audition and a remarkably fruitful 12-year period followed, from roughly 1954 to 1966. This talk will focus on that 12-year period, bracketed, on the one end, by the establishment of an auditory research laboratory at U-M by Wilson P. “Spike” Tanner and, on the other, by the publication of Green and Swets’ (1966) seminal text. The principle documents and publications of that period—particularly those that appeared in this society’s Journal—will be reviewed, with a discussion of their intellectual and historical context. Emphasis will be given to the investigations of the Electronic Defense Group at U-M and those of other legendary psychoacousticians. In particular, the work of Tanner, the key instigator in the transition from “statistical decision theory” to SDT in psychoacoustics, will be discussed.
KGVis: An Interactive Visual Query Language for Knowledge Graphs

With the rise of artificial intelligence, knowledge graphs have been widely recognized as a cornerstone of AI. In recent years, more and more domains have been publishing knowledge graphs in different scales. However, it is difficult for end-users to query and understand those knowledge graphs consisting of hundreds of millions of nodes and edges. To improve the availability, accessibility, and usability of knowledge graphs, we have developed an interactive visual query language, called KGVis, which can guide end-users to gradually transform query patterns into query results. Furthermore, KGVis has realized the novel capability of flexible bidirectional transformations between query patterns and query results, which can significantly assist end-users to query large-scale knowledge graphs that they are not familiar with. In this paper, we present the syntax and semantics of KGVis, discuss our design rationale behind this interactive visual query language, and demonstrate various use cases of KGVis.
MAKANAN TRADISIONAL, BAHASA, DAN REVOLUSI INDUSTRI 4.0

The era of Industrial Revolution 4.0 was a further era of the Third Industrial Revolution that stimulated the advancement of science and technology with Internet of Things (IoT) and its supporting technology to become the backbone of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and advanced machines were used as promoters to optimize the circuit production. Such progress crosses organizational and territorial boundaries, which consist of agility, intelligence, and also networking. Traditional South Sumatra food as a decent product to be introduced to the public and compete in the industrial world (especially culinary). As a local product, you need language support tools as intermediaries. Local languages need to be accommodated in the national language (Indonesian), so that it will be easier to make understanding in foreign languages (for example, English).
A church space that could be a library, media room, meeting room, performance space, or dining room—or with proper room acoustic modifications—An effective sound reinforcement system including audio recording, and suitable video recording and projection it could function as all of the above noted spaces

In a nearby church that was recently visited a space was viewed that is nicely appointed from an aesthetic viewpoint but primarily due to room acoustics, noise issues, and lack of proper sound and video systems, it did not seem to adequately serve any of the functions noted by the title of this presentation. The church is considering a renovation of this space. This presentation will describe how the space can serve all of the noted functions with relatively simple and easy to operate acoustic, sound system, and video modifications without significantly disturbing its current and desirable appearance.

Comprehensive vulnerability assessment and optimisation method of power communication network

Vulnerability assessment and optimisation for power communication network can enhance the robustness and sustainability of network. However, current vulnerability assessment method lacks service and availability indicator considerations, and corresponding optimisation method ignores dynamic process for temporal factors as well. Aiming at above problems, a novel and comprehensive vulnerability assessment and optimisation method is proposed. Firstly, for vulnerability assessment, the influence factors are analysed from static and dynamic aspects respectively. Integrating these factors, a comprehensive vulnerability indicator is designed to assess the vulnerability of nodes and edges. And then, to relieve unbalanced vulnerability distribution in the network, a routing optimisation method is proposed through reconfiguration for service routes on the edge with high vulnerability. Finally, the simulation is taken under a real network. Vulnerability assessment with the defined indicator is executed, and the network vulnerability can be balanced with the optimisation method, which has effective theoretical and practical significance.
Integrating migration, human development and remittances: an analysis of SAARC countries

This study explores the influence of migration on human development and remittances which eventually leads to international migration. In order to achieve this objective data were collected from 2000 to 2014 for remittances, human development, migration, political openness, population, political stability, corruption, trade and foreign direct investment for SAARC countries. Results of the study revealed that migration, trade, population, political openness, and corruption were significant and have an impact on human development and remittances. The inclusive outcome of this study by testing penal techniques: majority panel statistics reject the null hypothesis. We may conclude that migration is co-integrated with human development and remittances. The rationale of this study is supportive of policymakers, investors, traders, and economic researchers.
CNN Based Touch Interaction Detection for Infant Speech Development

In this paper, we investigate the detection of interaction in videos between two people, namely, a caregiver and an infant. We are interested in a particular type of human interaction known as touch, as touch is a key social and emotional signal used by caregivers when interacting with their children. We propose an automatic touch event recognition method to determine the potential time interval when the caregiver touches the infant. In addition to label the touch events, we also classify them into six touch types based on which body part of infant has been touched. CNN based human pose estimation and person segmentation are used to analyze the spatial relationship between the caregivers hands and the infants. We demonstrate promising results for touch detection and show great potential of reducing human effort in manually generating precise touch annotations.
Transients in wind instruments modeled with the Navier-Stokes equations

Transient components make an important contribution to the “color” of a musical tone. While such transients can be observed in experiments, realistic modeling can be very challenging. We describe a modeling study of initial transients in the tone produced by a recorder using Navier-Stokes-based simulations. We have studied how the harmonic content of a recorder tone during the attack portion of the tone depends on a variety of factors including the labium position, the presence of chamfers at the exit of the windway, and the initial dynamics of the blowing pressure. While our results are obtained for a realistic model of the recorder, they should also be applicable to similar instruments such as flue organ pipes. [Work supported by NSF Grant PHY1513273.]
Getting into Object Oriented Programming

In Chap. 1 , we considered why OO has become such a cornerstone of modern software development. It helps us to develop programs in a structured manner that mirrors some real-world problem. In this chapter we expand on this core idea and see how we can reflect the real world using OO design, and then go on to create some simple multi class programs in Java.
Campus Security and Safety Models: Statistical Empirical Analysis from a Ghanaian Tertiary Institution

All over the world security challenges faced by our traditional settlements is likewise in the university and college campuses.For this reason campus safety and security has become topical issue of research since parents are concerned about their wards and educational stakeholders risk losing loosing students because of crime and violence.With the influx of distance education students on the campus during the weekends and holidays, the issue of security becomes even more paramount.The current study model students' perception of campus security personnel's using procedural fairness, security effectiveness and trust in security response construct while fear of crime as well as security corruption are used as predictor construct.PLS-SEM is the quantitative approach used to investigate effect security corruption and students fear of crime on security procedural fairness, security effectiveness and students' trust in security.The study randomly selected 350 regular and distance students, however 327 returned questionnaires resulting to 93% response rate.The study revealed that students' fear of crime and security corruption predicts 71.8% of students' trust in security.Furthermore, security corruption and students fear of crime account for 31.2% of students' perceived security personnel's procedural fairness.Finally, the study found that security corruption and students fear of crime accounts for 39.5% of the variability in security personnel's effectiveness.The study concluded that students' fear of crime positively affect their trust in campus security, however, the corruption on the part of campus security negatively affect students' trust in campus security, security personnel's procedural fairness and effectiveness.The authors recommend that training programmes should be put in place regularly to sensitise personnel's on the effect of corruption on their integrity and profession.

What Is a Particle if It Is a Wave?

So far we have been talking about waves. We have also seen that typical particle aspects such as energy and momentum also can be carried by waves. We have claimed that all of us are waves in the vacuum. However, this does not yet give us an idea how a particle can ever be a wave. When we imagine a particle, we see a little ball, located at a particular position at a specific time and propagating at a particular velocity. If particles are to be represented by waves, then we must be able to get these properties from the waves. Only then can we understand how we can see (=measure) a particle while we are actually dealing with waves.
Automatic Tour Video Summarization Focusing on Scene Change for Advance Touristic Experience

In this paper, we propose a novel time-lapse based video summarization method without substantial loss of information important for viewers to plan a tour route. In the proposed method, we focus on scene changes in the video. We extract scenes with a certain level of changes compared to previous scenes as important (slowly played back) in the summarized video, while other scenes are fast forwarded. To evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed method, comparing the video summarized with our method and that summarized manually (by voting for necessary/unnecessary scenes), our method identified the important scenes with an F-measure of 62.22%.
Fields and Waves Making up Reality

When we think of a wave, we think for instance of waves in water. Or we consider a rope on the table that is excited by swiftly pulling it up and down, resulting in a wave that moves towards the other end of the rope. So to get a wave we need something that we call a medium: water or the rope. The medium carries the wave.
Partisipasi Masyarakat Dalam Pencegahan Dan Pengendalian Kebakaran Lahan Gambut Di Hutan Lindung Gambut (Hlg) Londerang Provinsi Jambi

This study aims to analyze the level of community participation and the relationship of between community knowledge with participation in the fire prevention and suppression from peat in Londerang Peat Protection Forest (HLG), Jambi Province. Research uses a mixed method by combining quantitative and qualitative research. The qualitative data sampling uses purposive sampling by collecting data through in-depth interviews. The analytical method used is quantitative descriptive analysis method supported by qualitative and cross tabulation methods. For the analysis of the association relationship using the Spearman Rank correlation formula method with respondents (n) <30. To analyze the comparison of the level of knowledge and community participation, the t-test was performed using the independent t-test. Based on data analysis, it is known that the level of participation for the community of Rawasari Village is at the level of partnership, while the level of participation of Manis Mato villagers is at the level of informing. The level of knowledge and level of community participation in Rawasari Village is higher than the knowledge of the Manis Mato Village community. The relationship of knowledge to community participation in Rawasari and Manis Mato Villages has a very strong correlation coefficient, rsrawasari = 0,9877 and rsmanismato = 0,9895. Correlation value rs (Spearman Rank correlation coefficient) shows that there is a very significant effect (α = 0.01) between knowledge of the level of community participation in the prevention and control of peatland fires in Londerang Peat Protection Forest (HLG). The strategy to increase and strengthen knowledge and community participation in both villages can be done through assistance to increase knowledge through socialization and community participation through training and improvement of supporting facilities and technical knowledge on the use of various facilities needed in the form of community empowerment to increase knowledge and participation in prevention and control fire peat fires in Londerang Peat Protection Forest (HLG).
Deep Regression Counting: Customized Datasets and Inter-Architecture Transfer Learning

The problem of regression counting is revisited and analyzed by generating custom data and simplified Residual Network architectures. The results provide three key insights: A deeper understanding of the inherent challenges to this problem with regards to the data characteristics; the influence of architecture depth on the regression counting performance; and ideas for a transfer learning strategy between dissimilar architectures that allow training deeper networks with knowledge gained from shallower ones. In a striking example, a network with 30 convolution layers is successfully initialized with the weights from a trained architecture containing only 7 convolutions, whereas convergence was previously unattainable with random initialization. The two datasets consist of 20,000 images containing 3 and 5 classes of shapes to be counted, respectively. The network architectures are simplified Residual Networks with varying depths. The images are made to be inexpensive computationally to train, allowing for easy future comparisons with the baseline set by this work.
A Brief Review on Reversible Data Hiding in Encrypted Image

To provide the secure communication, data encryption is the best way. In this paper, very easy, quick and authenticate encryption scheme is proposed . The Data hiding in encrypted image plays a vital role for authentication purpose. In A-S algorithm using symmetric stream cipher data hiding is performed. Encryption key and data hiding key can be uses by the user. Image encryption is performed with the help of A-S algorithm. After the encryption is performed, in encrypted image, data hiding key helps to hide the data. Containing auxiliary data with an encrypted image, auxiliary data can extract if receiver has data hiding key, the received data can decrypt to get the image identical to the original image if receiver has encryption key, auxillary data can extract and recovered the original data without any distortion if receiver has both keys. With this techniques the retrived image achives a good PSNR value.
Exploration and Research on Industry English Teaching Model in Higher Vocational Colleges Based on “Internet +”

With the continuous deepening of the new curriculum reform, quality education has received much attention. In the teaching of higher vocational education, the cultivation of students’ comprehensive application ability is increasingly important. In the “Internet +” era, education informatization has become a new trend in its development, but at present, the industry English teaching in higher vocational colleges is still dominated by the traditional teaching model, and there is a widespread phenomenon of “taking emphasis on theory and ignoring practice.” In English teaching in higher vocational colleges, industry English teaching is very important, and it plays a very significant role in the cultivation of students’ professional English skills. Based on the overview of industry English, this paper puts forward the status quo and countermeasures of the industry English teaching in the “Internet +” era, and analyzes the feasibility of the reform of the industry English teaching model in higher vocational colleges, hopes to provide references for the development of China’s industry English teaching in higher vocational colleges.
Armerding center for music and the arts at Wheaton College

Wheaton College has long cultivated young musicians in a tight-knit community outside of Chicago. As the program has grown in recent decades, however, the community has burst at the seams in need of expanded space for faculty and students alike. The construction of a new science building on campus led to the availability of Armerding Hall to be redeveloped into a new home for the Conservatory on the central campus quad. Shallow floor-to-floor heights and limited structural capacities led to acoustic isolation strategies that provide “just enough” separation between faculty studios and relied on careful detailing for success. A steeply-raked Lecture Hall was reimagined to become a 100-seat recital hall with volume carved into adjacent spaces. Other spaces within the building include ensemble rehearsal rooms, a recording suite, and a room for multi-media composition. A second phase of the project will include new construction of a 650-seat concert hall and the college’s first dedicated rehearsal hall for their formidable choral program.
