Here we propose a novel musical controller which acquires imaging data of the tongue with a two-dimensional medical ultrasound scanner. A computer vision algorithm extracts from the image a discrete tongue shape to control, in realtime, a musical synthesizer and musical effects. We evaluate the mapping space between tongue shape and controller parameters and its expressive characteristics.

Intracranial schwannoma not related to cranial nerves are unusual and rarely found in the subfrontal region. We report a case of cystic olfactory groove schwannoma in a 55-year- old male, who presented with late onset seizure without raised intracranial pressure. The tumor was excised completely.

ruthenium complexes and DNA. Jacqueline Barton and co-workers2 co-crystallized Δ-[Ru(bpy)2(dppz)] with the 12-mer DNA sequence d(CGGAAATTACCG) — a self-complementary double helix with two adenine:adenine (A:A) mismatches. An atomic-resolution structure analysis of the resulting co-crystal revealed a complex pattern of interactions between the ruthenium compound and the DNA. Five individual ruth...

Electromagnetic forming is a high energy rate forming process. In this process, an electromagnetic Lorentz body force is used for deformation of products. In this article, Electromagnetic forming process was simulated for assembly of parts as an innovative method. In this research work, the effect of important parameters of process such as discharge energy, radius and width of rectangular groov...

Upon interaction with calf thymus DNA the ∆,∆-enantiomer of the semirigid binuclear ruthenium complex [μ-(11,11’-bidppz)(phen)4Ru2] has previously been shown to reorganize, from an initial groove bound geometry, into an intercalative binding mode, threading one of its bulky Ru(phen)2 moieties through the core of the DNA. We have now found that all three stereoisomers, ∆,∆, Λ,Λ, and ∆,Λ (meso), ...

Due to its good cutting performance in titanium alloy machining, integral end mills are more and used machining aero-engine impeller blades. The tool spiral groove plays the role of chip acceptor removal, accuracy parameters has an important effect on performance. In grinding process groove, wheel’s external is mainly involved task. wear degree related time times wheel, wheel will lead change g...

The Simultaneous Multiple Surface design method in two dimensions (SMS2D) is applied to the design of aspheric V-groove reflectors. The general design problem is to achieve perfect coupling of two wavefronts after two reflections at the groove, no matter which side of the groove the rays hit first. Two types of configurations are identified, and several symmetric and asymmetric design examples ...

This paper presents a (partial) solution to the case study on Program Comprehension, proposed in the GraBaTs’09 contest. Our tool of choice is GROOVE, a graph transformation tool initially designed as a model checker for graph grammars. GROOVE has been under development for several years and new features are being implemented. One of our current interests is on program analysis and model transf...

Acral fibrokeratoma is a rare benign fibrous tumor of an unknown etiology, typically found at the distal end of the toes. A detailed clinical examination is necessary in order to investigate signs of tuberous sclerosis. It presents the only clinically obvious anomaly. We report a patient with a typical presentation of fibrokeratoma.
