Most of the research in music information retrieval (MIR) is concentrating only on monophonic source signals. The stereo information has been ignored largely in the research many years. However, commercially available music recordings typically consist of a two-track stereo mix. The type of mixing process used in the recordings can be roughly categorizes into live recordings and studio recordings.

Many animals move so fast that there is no time for sensory feedback to correct possible errors. The biomechanics of the limbs participating in such movements appear to be configured to simplify neural control. To test this general principle, we analysed how froghopper insects control the azimuth direction of their rapid jumps, using high speed video of the natural movements and modelling to un...

primary assumption in most problems of elasticity theory in petroleum geophysics is that the elastic media is isotropic. laboratory experiments confirmed that most rocks are anisotropic. if in one medium, properties vary with directions, it is named as anisotropic. knowledge about anisotropy reduces risk and cost of hydrocarbon production. in the present study, anisotropy of a carbonate reservo...

Estimation of the fast polarization direction of shear seismic waves that deviate from horizontal axis is a valuable approach to investigate the characteristics of the lower crust and uppermost mantle structures. The lattice preferred orientation of crystals, which is generally parallel to the downward or upward flow of the mantle or crust, is an important reason for the occurrence of fast axis...
