In this paper we describe the most important concepts of the belief revision system DRUM and show its use in model-based diagnosis. DRUM works directly on (logical) models and uses neither connicts nor justi-cations. The system description plus observations are seen as integrity constraints, while the inferred facts as well as assumptions about behavioral modes are revised whenever they connict...

abstracta novel floatation-spectrophotometric extraction method was developed for the recovery of tin (ii) from aqueous samples prior to determination by uv spectrophotometric detection. the method is based on the formation of a complex between tin (ii) and kalmagyte in ph=8. the complex is floated in the interface of n-hexane and aqueous phases. after removing the aqueous phase, the floated pa...

Previous observation of spontaneous speech has shown consistent use of pitch accent by speakers to mark the contrastive status of words. To investigate how listeners process accentual prominence marking a contrast, eyemovements were monitored while participants listened to spoken directions and searched for ornaments to decorate holiday trees. Eye movement latencies to the target ornament cells...

The voice is a rich and powerful means of expressing acoustic concepts such as musical sounds. Recent research on vocal imitations has demonstrated the viability of using the voice to search for sounds, using query by vocalisation. Here we present the methods used to develop a dataset for evaluating the performance of query by vocalisation systems for drum sounds. The dataset consists of imitat...

The analysis and separation of audio signals into their original components is an important prerequisite to automatic transcription of music, extraction of metadata from audio data, and speaker separation in video conferencing. In this paper, a method for the separation of drum tracks from polyphonic music is proposed. It consists of an Independent Component Analysis and a subsequent partitioni...

We present an analysis of the bass drum circuit from the classic Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer, based on physical models of the device’s many sub-circuits. A digital model based on this analysis (implemented in Cycling 74’s Gen ̃) retains the salient features of the original and allows accurate emulation of circuit-bent modifications—complicated behavior that is impossible to capture through bla...

An analysis is made of the deflected forms assumed by an elastic strip when it is bent and stretched around a rigid drum. A summary is first given of the method of analysis used and the results obtained in a previous study where the drum width is equal to or greater than that of the strip. This work is then extended to the case where the strip width exceeds that of the drum. Defiected forms and...

Presented is a method of generating a full drum kit part for a provided kick-drum sequence. A sequence to sequence neural network model used in natural language translation was adopted to encode multiple musical styles and an online survey was developed to test different techniques for sampling the output of the softmax function. The strongest results were found using a sampling technique that ...
