An Interface for Sequencing with Concatenative Sound Synthesis
Creators: name: Kuzma, Lukasz
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2008

description: Although there has been a good deal of research in concatenative synthesis, most existing approaches tend to focus on offline composition. The realtime systems that have been developed place emphasis on source pruning and on exploration rather than composition. This paper presents an interface for sequencing with concatenative synthesis with particular emphasis on realtime performance. The interface is designed to address some weaknesses of previous realtime sequencing systems, by allowing the user to seamlessly work at the local level of individual beats as well as the global level of musical passages. The interface deals mostly with the target side of concatenative synthesis by using sound classes, numerical descriptions of sound that group source sound units. The interface exploits the fact that sound classes are purely numerical and provides mechanisms for interpolation, modulation, and stochastic variation to aid in creating and modifying compositions in a performance context.

description: We study the dramatic decrease in iron absorption strength in the iron low-ionization broad absorption line quasar SDSS J084133.15+200525.8. We report on the continued weakening of absorption in the prototype of this class of variable broad absorption line quasar, FBQS J140806.2+305448. We also report a third example of this class, SDSS J123103.70+392903.6; unlike the other two examples, it has undergone an increase in observed continuum brightness (at 3000~Å rest-frame) as well as a decrease in iron absorption strength. These changes could be caused by absorber transverse motion or by ionization variability. We note that the \mgii\ and UV \feii\ lines in several FeLoBAL quasars are blueshifted by thousands of \kms\ relative to the \Hb\ emission line peak. We suggest that such emission arises in the outflowing winds normally seen only in absorption.

description: Given a square matrix $A$, Brauer's theorem [Duke Math. J. 19 (1952), 75--91] shows how to modify one single eigenvalue of $A$ via a rank-one perturbation, without changing any of the remaining eigenvalues. We reformulate Brauer's theorem in functional form and provide extensions to matrix polynomials and to matrix Laurent series $A(z)$ together with generalizations to shifting a set of eigenvalues. We provide conditions under which the modified function $\widetilde A(z)$ has a canonical factorization $\widetilde A(z)=\widetilde U(z)\widetilde L(z^{-1})$ and we provide explicit expressions of the factors $\widetilde U(z)$ and $\widetilde L(z)$. Similar conditions and expressions are given for the factorization of $\widetilde A(z^{-1})$. Some applications are discussed.

description: AI Phe is a double-lined, detached binary, in which a K-type sub-giant star totally eclipses its main-sequence companion every 24.6 days. This configuration makes AI Phe ideal for testing stellar evolutionary models. Difficulties in obtaining a complete lightcurve mean the precision of existing radii measurements could be improved. Our aim is to improve the precision of the radius measurements for the stars in AI Phe using high-precision photometry from WASP, and use these improved radius measurements together with estimates of the masses, temperatures and composition of the stars to place constraints on the mixing length, helium abundance and age of the system. A best-fit ebop model is used to obtain lightcurve parameters, with their standard errors calculated using a prayer-bead algorithm. These were combined with previously published spectroscopic orbit results, to obtain masses and radii. A Bayesian method is used to estimate the age of the system for model grids with different mixing lengths and helium abundances. The radii are found to be $R_1=1.835\pm0.014$ R$_{\odot}$, $R_2=2.912\pm0.014$ R$_{\odot}$ and the masses $M_1=1.1973\pm0.0037$ M$_{\odot}$, $M_2=1.2473\pm0.0039$ M$_{\odot}$. From the best-fit stellar models we infer a mixing length of 1.78, a helium abundance of $Y_{AI}=0.26^{+0.02}_{-0.01}$ and an age of $4.39\pm0.32$ Gyr. Times of primary minimum show the period of AI Phe is not constant. Currently, there are insufficient data to determine the cause of this variation. Improved precision in the masses and radii have improved the age estimate, and allowed the mixing length and helium abundance to be constrained. The eccentricity is now the largest source of uncertainty in calculating the masses. More binaries with parameters measured to a similar level of precision would allow us to test for relationships between helium abundance and mixing length.

description: We explore the gapped graphene structure in the two-dimensional plane in the presence of the Rosen-Morse potential and an external uniform magnetic field. In order to describe the corresponding structure, we consider the propagation of electrons in graphene as relativistic fermion quasi-particles, and analyze it by the wave functions of two-component spinors with pseudo-spin symmetry using the Dirac equation. Next, to solve and analyze the Dirac equation, we obtain the eigenvalues and eigenvectors using the Legendre differential equation. After that, we obtain the bounded states of energy depending on the coefficients of Rosen-Morse and magnetic potentials in terms of quantum numbers of principal \(n\) and spin-orbit \(k\). Then, the values of the energy spectrum for the ground state and the first excited state are calculated, and the wave functions and the corresponding probabilities are plotted in terms of coordinates $r$. In what follows, we explore the band structure of gapped graphene by the modified dispersion relation and write it in terms of the two-dimensional wave vectors $K_x$ and $K_y$. Finally, the energy bands are plotted in terms of the wave vectors $K_x$ and $K_y$ with and without the magnetic term.

title: Healthy Western Lands: a proposal for healthy rangelands, wildlife, and free-roaming horses and burros
Creators: name: Sedinger, James S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: The Coalition for Healthy Nevada Lands, Wildlife and Free-roaming Horses (CHNL) is dedicated to proper management of free-roaming horses (Equus caballus) and burros (E. asinus) so rangelands are healthy, which benefits wildlife and the horses and burros themselves. The CHNL proposes the rapid reduction of horses and burros on designated public lands to achieve appropriate management levels (AML). After these reductions, the use of fertility control, supplemented with some gathers and adoption of gathered horses, should allow the Bureau of Land Management to economically maintain horse and burro populations at AML. The CHNL believes this approach will be the most expeditious to restoring rangeland to health and cost-effective as it reduces handling of horses and burros. Herein, we describe CHNL’s rationale for this approach and our effort to have the Nevada Legislature pass a resolution supporting the proposal.
Pixel Color Magnitude Diagrams for Semi-Resolved Stellar Populations: The Star Formation History of Regions within the Disk and Bulge of M31

description: The analysis of stellar populations has, by and large, been developed for two limiting cases: spatially-resolved stellar populations in the color-magnitude diagram, and integrated light observations of distant systems. In between these two extremes lies the semi-resolved regime, which encompasses a rich and relatively unexplored realm of observational phenomena. Here we develop the concept of pixel color magnitude diagrams (pCMDs) as a powerful technique for analyzing stellar populations in the semi-resolved regime. pCMDs show the distribution of imaging data in the plane of pixel luminosity vs. pixel color. A key feature of pCMDs is that they are sensitive to all stars, including both the evolved giants and the unevolved main sequence stars. An important variable in this regime is the mean number of stars per pixel, $N_{\rm pix}$. Simulated pCMDs demonstrate a strong sensitivity to the star formation history (SFH) and allow one to break degeneracies between age, metallicity and dust based on two filter data for values of $N_{\rm pix}$ up to at least $10^4$. We extract pCMDs from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) optical imaging of M31 and derive non-parametric SFHs from $10^6$ yr to $10^{10}$ yr for both the crowded disk and bulge regions (where $N_{\rm pix}\approx30-10^3$). From analyzing a small region of the disk we find a non-parametric SFH that is smooth and consistent with an exponential decay timescale of 4 Gyr. The bulge SFH is also smooth and consistent with a 2 Gyr decay timescale. pCMDs will likely play an important role in maximizing the science returns from next generation ground and space-based facilities.

description: Magnetic-field and microwave-frequency modulated DNP experiments have been shown to yield improved enhancements over conventional DNP techniques, and even to shorten polarization build-up times. The resulting increase in signal-to-noise ratios can lead to significantly shorter acquisition times in signal-limited multi-dimensional NMR experiments and pave the way to the study of even smaller sample volumes. In this paper we describe the design and performance of a broadband system for microwave frequency- and amplitude-modulated DNP that has been engineered to minimize both microwave and thermal losses during operation at liquid helium temperatures. The system incorporates a flexible source that can generate arbitrary waveforms at 94 GHz with a bandwidth greater than 1 GHz, as well as a probe that efficiently transmits the millimeter waves from room temperature outside the magnet to a cryogenic environment inside the magnet. Using a thin-walled brass tube as an overmoded waveguide to transmit a hybrid HE11 mode, it is possible to limit the losses to 1 dB across a 2 GHz bandwidth. The loss is dominated by the presence of a quartz window used to isolate the waveguide pipe. This performance is comparable to systems with corrugated waveguide or quasi-optical components. The overall excitation bandwidth of the probe is seen to be primarily determined by the final antenna or resonator used to excite the sample and its coupling to the NMR RF coil. Understanding the instrumental limitations imposed on any modulation scheme is key to understanding the observed DNP results and potentially identifying the underlying mechanisms. We demonstrate the utility of our design with a set of triangular frequency-modulated DNP experiments.

Issues on Retrieval of Sound Effects in Large Collaborative Databases
Creators: name: Martínez, Elena
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2008

description: New ways of producing information, knowledge, and culture through social, rather than proprietary relations, are probably reponsible for the recent proliferation of online communities. Many of these communities aim to collaboratively create large multimedia databases. The context in which these sites are growing and many of their important aspects are presented and discussed in this work. From all of them, the retrieval issues of sound effects have been selected as main focus of the thesis. Specifically, aspects concerning the annotation of such large databases by means of collaborative tagging, and others dealing with the study of alternative ways to retrieve audio content, such as sound search by phonetic similarity. The collaborative sound database Freesound.org has been chosen for the experiments. First of all, an study about issues such as how users annotate the sounds in the database, have been conducted, detecting some well– known problems in collaborative tagging, such as polysemy, synonymy, and the scarcity of the existing annotations. Then, a subset of sounds rarely or scarcely tagged were selected for the experiments, where a content–based audio similarity system aiming at automatically enhancing these annotations have been proposed. The reported results show that 77% of the test collection were enhanced using the recommended tags, with a high agreement among the subjects. We have also studied alternative interfaces that allow different criteria when browsing and retrieving these databases, with the motivation that such large repositories may have different levels of descriptions, and thus different ways of browsing may be allowed. The proposed system attempts on extracting automatically timbre information at the phoneme level, by means of phonetic similarity. Hence, the keyword-based search can be complemented, allowing at the same time a more natural retrieval, since given that onomatopoeic representation of sounds are very common ways to describe them. Promising results are reported, and even still further improvements have to be considered in order to extend it to more sound categories with successful performance.

Rich Kozai-Lidov Dynamics in an Initially Thin and Eccentric Stellar Disc Around a Supermassive Black Hole

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: There is growing evidence of star formation in the vicinity of supermassive black holes (SMBH) in galactic nuclei. A viable scenario for this process assumes infall of a massive gas cloud towards the SMBH and subsequent formation of a dense accretion disc which gives birth to the young stars. Numerical hydrodynamical models indicate that this star formation process is rather fast and it precedes full circularization of the accretion flow, i.e. the new stars are born on elliptic orbits. By means of direct numerical N-body modeling, we show in this paper that the non-zero eccentricity of the stellar discs around the SMBH leads to an onset of various types of the Kozai-Lidov oscillations of a non-negligible subset of individual orbits in the disc, showing a remarkable robustness of this classical mechanism. Among others, we demonstrate that under certain circumstances, presence of an additional spherical cluster (which is generally known to damp Kozai-Lidov oscillations) may trigger such oscillations due to affecting the internal flow of the angular momentum through the disc. We conclude that the Kozai-Lidov oscillations are capable to substantially modify the initial structure of the disc (its thickness and distribution of eccentricities, in particular).

The $S={3 \over 2}$ magnetic ground state of Co$^{2+}$, measured with magnetization, implies an absence of spin-orbit coupling and orbital degeneracy. This contrasts with compounds based upon an octrahedral and even known tetrahedral Co$^{2+}$ based systems where a sizable spin-orbit coupling is measured. The compound is characterized with single crystal x-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, infrared, and ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy. Magnetic susceptibility measurements find no magnetic ordering above 2 K. The results are also compared with the previously known monoclinic hydrated analogue.

description: Global wildfire models play a crucial role in anticipating and responding to changing wildfire regimes. JULES-INFERNO is a global vegetation and fire model simulating wildfire emissions and area burnt on a global scale. However, because of the high data dimensionality and system complexity, JULES-INFERNO's computational costs make it challenging to apply to fire risk forecasting with unseen initial conditions. Typically, running JULES-INFERNO for 30 years of prediction will take several hours on High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters. To tackle this bottleneck, two data-driven models are built in this work based on Deep Learning techniques to surrogate the JULES-INFERNO model and speed up global wildfire forecasting. More precisely, these machine learning models take global temperature, vegetation density, soil moisture and previous forecasts as inputs to predict the subsequent global area burnt on an iterative basis. Average Error per Pixel (AEP) and Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) are used as metrics to evaluate the performance of the proposed surrogate models. A fine tuning strategy is also proposed in this work to improve the algorithm performance for unseen scenarios. Numerical results show a strong performance of the proposed models, in terms of both computational efficiency (less than 20 seconds for 30 years of prediction on a laptop CPU) and prediction accuracy (with AEP under 0.3\% and SSIM over 98\% compared to the outputs of JULES-INFERNO).

description: reacTIVision is an open source computer vision framework for recognition and tracking of fiducials. It finds its main application in development of table-based tangible user interfaces (TUI) and multi-touch interactive surfaces (tabletops). This Master Thesis aims to improve the current reacTIVision system. It reviews the state of the art of the algorithms that can be used for parameter extraction from generic objects, focusing in the algorithms that can be used for control and real-time interaction. Among all shape description techniques, three different and complementary techniques have been implemented: some simple global descriptors give us the position and orientation of the shape with a rough classification, the polygon simplification can be used for user feedback and polygon recognition, and finally a simplification of the Medial Axis Transform (skeleton) is better suited for deformable objects.

description: Alkalides possess enhanced nonlinear optical (NLO) responses due to localization of excess electrons on alkali metals. We have proposed a new class of alkalides by sandwiching alkali atoms (M) between two Li3O superalkali clusters at MP2/6-311++G(d,p) level. We notice a competition between alkalide characteristics and NLO properties in OLi3-M-Li3O (M=Li, Na and K) isomers. For instance, the atomic charge on M (qM) in D2h structure is -0.58e for M=Li and its first static mean hyperpolarizablity (\b{eta}o) is 1 a.u., but in C2v structure, qM=-0.12e and \b{eta}o= 3.4*103 a.u. More interestingly, the \b{eta}o value for M=K (C2v) increases to 1.9*104 a.u. in which qM=0.24e. These findings may provide new insights into the design of alkalides, an unusual class of salts and consequently, lead to further researches in this direction.

Singing Phoneme Class Detection In Polyphonic Music Recordings
Creators: name: Vagia, Ourania
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2008

description: Automatic singing detection and singing phoneme recognition are two MIR research topics that have gained a lot of attention the last years.
 The first approaches borrowed successful techniques widely used in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) as speech and singing share similar acoustical features since they are produced by the same apparatus. Moving from monophonic to polyphonic audio signals the problem becomes more complex as the background instrumental accompaniment is regarded as a noise source that has to be attenuated.
 This thesis presents research into the problem of singing phoneme detection in polyphonic audio, in which the lyrics are in English. Specifically, we are interested in building statistical classification models that are able to automatically distinguish sung consonants and vowels from pure instrumental music in polyphonic music recordings.
 The approach begins with a database creation to be used for training, testing and evaluating the models. Several sets of extracted low-level features are used in the classification process. Different classification functions are compared like SVM, MLP and logistic as well as different classification schemes (3-class classifiers, binary classifiers in series and in parallel). The best classification model found reaches an overall accuracy of 78% in distinguishing between the 3 different classes.

description: O2 and O3 have been long considered the most robust individual biosignature gases in a planetary atmosphere, yet multiple mechanisms that may produce them in the absence of life have been described. However, these abiotic planetary mechanisms modify the environment in potentially identifiable ways. Here we briefly discuss two of the most detectable spectral discriminants for abiotic O2/O3: CO and O4. We produce the first explicit self-consistent simulations of these spectral discriminants as they may be seen by JWST. If JWST-NIRISS and/or NIRSpec observe CO (2.35, 4.6 um) in conjunction with CO2 (1.6, 2.0, 4.3 um) in the transmission spectrum of a terrestrial planet it could indicate robust CO2 photolysis and suggest that a future detection of O2 or O3 might not be biogenic. Strong O4 bands seen in transmission at 1.06 and 1.27 um could be diagnostic of a post-runaway O2-dominated atmosphere from massive H-escape. We find that for these false positive scenarios, CO at 2.35 um, CO2 at 2.0 and 4.3 um, and O4 at 1.27 um are all stronger features in transmission than O2/O3 and could be detected with SNRs $\gtrsim$ 3 for an Earth-size planet orbiting a nearby M dwarf star with as few as 10 transits, assuming photon-limited noise. O4 bands could also be sought in UV/VIS/NIR reflected light (at 0.345, 0.36, 0.38, 0.445, 0.475, 0.53, 0.57, 0.63, 1.06, and 1.27 um) by a next generation direct-imaging telescope such as LUVOIR/HDST or HabEx and would indicate an oxygen atmosphere too massive to be biologically produced.

Non-Abelian, supersymmetric black holes and strings in 5 dimensions

description: We construct and study the first supersymmetric black-hole and black-string solutions of non-Abelian-gauged N=1,d=5 supergravity (N=1,d=5 Super-Einstein-Yang-Mills theory) with non-trivial SU(2) gauge fields: BPST instantons for black holes and BPS monopoles of different kinds ('t~Hooft-Polyakov, Wu-Yang and Protogenov) for black strings and also for certain black holes that are well defined solutions only for very specific values of all the moduli. Instantons, as well as colored monopoles do not contribute to the masses and tensions but do contribute to the entropies. The construction is based on the characterization of the supersymmetric solutions of gauged N=1,d=5 supergravity coupled to vector multiplets achieved in Ref. Bellorin:2007yp which we elaborate upon by finding the rules to construct supersymmetric solutions with one additional isometry, both for the timelike and null classes. These rules automatically connect the timelike and null non-Abelian supersymmetric solutions of N=1,d=5 SEYM theory with the timelike ones of N=2,d=4 SEYM theory by dimensional reduction and oxidation. In the timelike-to-timelike case the singular Kronheimer reduction recently studied in Ref. Bueno:2015wva plays a crucial role.

description: This paper analyses the current state of postcolonial and decolonial science teaching, based on a systematic review of the literature, with a special focus on the European context. It shows that currently, a very narrow view on postcolonial science teaching prevails, limiting its scope to former colonies. A total of 227 articles published 2013–2022 were identified using meta-interpretation combined with systematic searches. 43 of these articles were selected for the sample and analysed. Included were only articles reporting on teaching practice in regular science classes in secondary school. The analysis identified as the main theme the question of how to coordinate Indigenous knowledge systems and Western science in the classroom. Further, translanguaging and pedagogy of justice are used as approaches toward decolonising science education. One striking finding in the analysis is the absence of de-/postcolonial approaches from European countries. This indicates that teaching practice in Europe might currently not undergo decolonisation. This contradicts Aimé Césaire’s observation that both the colonised and the colonisers were decivilised during colonialism and need decolonisation [Césaire, A. (1955). Discours sur le colonialisme [Discourse on colonialism] (6th ed.). Présence Africaine]. In this article, the different approaches toward decolonisation and an outline of decolonial science teaching for the European context are presented.
Voice Transformations for Extreme Vocal Effects
Creators: name: Nieto, Oriol
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2008

description: Extreme Vocal Effects in music are so recent that few studies have been carried out about how they are physiologically produced and whether they are harmful or not for the human voice. Voice Transformations in real-time are possible nowadays thanks to new technologies and voice processing algorithms. This Master's Thesis pretends to define and classify these new singing techniques and to create a mapping between the physiological aspect of each EVE to its relative spectrum variations. Voice Transformation Models based on these mappings are proposed and discussed for each one of these EVEs. We also discuss different transformation methods and strategies in order to obtain better results. A subjective evaluation of the results of the transformations is also presented and discussed along with further work, improvements, and working lines on this field.
