O(s) Tempo(s)

Nonhuman primates prefer slow tempos but dislike music overall.

Human adults generally find fast tempos more arousing than slow tempos, with tempo frequently manipulated in music to alter tension and emotion. We used a previously published method [McDermott, J., & Hauser, M. (2004). Are consonant intervals music to their ears? Spontaneous acoustic preferences in a nonhuman primate. Cognition, 94(2), B11-B21] to test cotton-top tamarins and common marmosets,...

Tempos : a Temporal Database Model Seamlessly Extending Odmg Tempos : Un Mod Ele Pour Bases De Donn Ees Temporelles Compatible Odmg

This paper presents Tempos, a set of models and languages intended to seamlessly extend the ODMG object database standard with temporal functionalities. The proposed models exploit object-oriented technology to meet some important, yet traditionally neglected design criteria, related to legacy code migration and representation independence. Tempos has been fully formalized both at the syntactic...

The Influence of Body Morphology on Preferred Dance Tempos

Thirty participants tuned a drum machine to their preferred dance tempo. Measurements of height, shoulder width, leg length, and weight were taken for each participant, and their sex recorded. Using a multiple regression analysis, leg length was found to be the single best predictor of preferred dance tempo. The results are consistent with a biomechanical “resonance” model of dancing.

OS Kernel

The basic virtual memory-mapped communication (VMMC) model provides protected, direct communication between the sender's and receiver's virtual address spaces, but it does not support high-level connection-oriented communication APIs well. This paper presents VMMC-2, an extension to the basic VMMC. We describe the design, implementation , and evaluate the performance of three mechanisms in VMMC...
