The nonlinear system becomes an area with numerous investigations over the past decades. The conventional modal analysis could not be  applied on nonlinear continuous system which makes it impossible to construct the reduced order models and obtain system response based on limited number of measurement points. Nonlinear normal modes provide a useful tool for extending modal analysis to nonlinea...

We document music programming in Gibber, a creative coding environment for the browser. We describe affordances for a sample-accurate and functional approach to scheduling, pattern creation and manipulation, audio synthesis, using rhythm and harmony, and score definition and playback.

A review of the literature found that most published studies in musical preference tended to focus on liking for specific or broad categories of musical styles. Various researchers have proposed that musical characteristics are significant in contributing to one's musical preference This article provides an overview of the research on the relationship between selected musical characteristics an...

Business transformations are large-scale organisational change projects that, evidence suggests, are often unsuccessful. This study aims to develop a conceptual model that explains how management services that are required for a business transformation are orchestrated during such a initiative. We classify management services such as (but not limited to) change management, risk management, IT m...

Propositional dynamic logic (PDL) is complete but not compact. As a consequence, strong completeness (the property Γ |= φ ⇒ Γ ` φ) requires an infinitary proof system. In this paper, we present a short proof for strong completeness of PDL relative an infinitary proof system containing the rule from [α;βn]φ for all n ∈ N, conclude [α;β∗]φ. The proof uses a universal canonical model, and it is ge...

In this paper we compare the effectiveness of rhythm based signal segmentation technique with the traditional fixed length segmentation for music contents representation. We consider vocal regions, instrumental regions and chords which represent the harmony as different class of music contents to be represented. The effectiveness of segmentation for music content representation is measured base...
