Gamification, application of game elements non-game contexts, has been gaining increasing scholarly attention field teaching and learning over past few years. It is considered an effective pedagogical approach applied diverse contexts but not ...

Structured-audio techniques are a recent development in audio coding that develop new connections between the existing practices of audio synthesis and audio compression. A theoretical basis for this coding model is presented, grounded in information theory and Kolmogorov complexity theory. It is demonstrated that algorithmic structured audio can provide higher compression ratios than other tec...
