One challenge relating to the creation of adaptive music involves generating transitions between musical ideas. This paper proposes a solution to this problem based on a modification of the Q-Learning framework described by Reese, Yampolskiy and Elmaghraby. The proposed solution represents chords as states in a domain and generates a transition between any two major or minor chords by finding a...

Objective: To define the entity of tricuspid regurgitation caused by tethering of the tricuspid valve leaflets by aberrant tendinous chords. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Tertiary care centre (university teaching hospital). Patients: 10 patients with unexplained severe tricuspid regurgitation. Methods: The last 13 500 echocardiographic studies from our facility were reviewed to identify...

Chords are a declarative synchronisation construct based on the Join calculus, available in the programming language Cω. Compared with synchronisation constructs in most imperative languages, chords promise development of programs that are more succinct, easier to read, and easier to reason about. However, to our knowledge, chords have no formal model in an object-oriented setting. In this pape...

We survey the all-interval chords of small order and the interval systems in which they are situated. We begin with an examination of traditional all-interval chords in chromatic pitch-class spaces, and extend the notion of their structure to their counterparts in David Lewin’s Generalized Interval Systems. Mathematically, we observe that these chords belong to three categories of difference se...

Trotignon and Vušković completely characterized graphs that do not contain cycles with exactly one chord. In particular, they show that such a graph G has chromatic number at most max(3, ω(G)). We generalize this result to the class of graphs that do not contain cycles with exactly two chords and the class of graphs that do not contain cycles with exactly three chords. More precisely we prove t...
