Relativistic electron degeneracy effects are dominant in ultra-dense plasmas (UDP), such as those found in white dwarfs. These effects can be treated systematically by obtaining an expansion of the screening length in inverse powers of ~. In general, our theory leads to an O(10) effect on the enhancement of fusion rates in white dwarfs. Further, it is shown analytically for these stellar condit...

Previous research has found that the musical intervals found in speech are associated with various emotions. Intervals can be classified by their level of consonance or dissonance-how pleasant or unpleasant the combined tones sound to the ear. Exploratory investigations have indicated that in an agreeable conversation, the pitches of the last word in an utterance and the first word of a convers...

OBJECTIVES Since 2006, general practitioners (GPs) in England, UK, have been incentivised to keep a register and monitor patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3-5. Despite tensions and debate around the merit of this activity, there has been little qualitative research exploring clinician perspectives on monitoring early-stage CKD in primary care. This study aimed to examine and und...

Cultural Heritage-Management (CHM) in Italy appears to chronically suffer from resources fragmentation. The aim of this chapter is to highlight the need for a value co-creation logic based on resource integration in CHM to improve awareness and involve citizens, organizations and other stakeholders in the cultural heritage preservation and enhancement activities. The methodological approach ado...

Our experience of pitch, timing, loudness, and timbre in music depends in complex ways on physical measurements of frequency, time, amplitude, spectral envelope, and temporal envelope. Psychoacousticians, who investigate these dependencies, can shed light on basic musical questions. Psychoacoustics can explain the central role of frequency and time in music theory and notation, variations in th...

About a half of the autochthonous people of the world with about 635 tribal groups and subgroups including 75 primitive tribes live in India. The state of Orissa occupies a unique position in the tribal map of India having 62 scheduled tribes including 13 primitive tribes with a population of over 8.15 million constituting 22.3% of the population of the state as per 2001 Census. There is a pauc...

Product classification based on sensory evaluations can play an important role in quality control or typicality assessment. Unfortunately its real world applications face the difficulties related to the cost of a proper sensory approach. To partially overcome these issues we propose to build discriminant models based on the evaluation of single assessors and develop an appropriate method to com...

Quality Education is the primary objective of School Based Management and its goal to help educators in managing their schools efficiently effectively. SBM requires all members school community partake decision-making processes concerning budget, curriculum personnel. Thus, role teachers starts with student learning as core extends up involvement member community. In consonance with, Level Perc...

In this paper, relations between musical acoustics and sound quality engineering are displayed. First, the concept of musical consonance proposed by Terhardt, based on the seminal classic work of Helmholtz is discussed. In particular, the view of Helmholtz on modern psychoacoustic magnitudes important in sound quality design like fluctuation strength and roughness is illustrated. The applicatio...
