A central problem in the production of music by computer is how to generate sounds with similar but different timbres; that is, how to synthesize a'family" of instruments that are perceived as distinguishable but similar in timbre. This paper describes a method for synthesizing a family of string-like instruments that proceeds as follows: First, a few actual violin notes are analyzed using line...

In most popular music, the vocals sung by the lead singer are the focal point of the song. The unique qualities of a singer’s voice make it relatively easy for us to identify a song as belonging to that particular artist. With little training, if one i s familiar with a particular singer’s voice one can usually recognize that voice in other pieces, even when hearing a song for the first time. T...

We study the dynamics of a D3 brane in generic IIB warped compactifications, using the Hamiltonian formulation discussed in [1]. Taking into account of both closed and open string fluctuations, we derive the warped Kähler potential governing the motion of a probe D3 brane. By including the backreaction of D3, we also comment on how the problem of defining a holomorphic gauge coupling on wrapped...

We address the definitions and synthesis of stochastic processes which possess warped scaling laws that depart from power law behaviors in a controlled manner. We define warped infinitely divisible cascading (IDC) noise, motion and random walk. We provide a theoretical derivation of the scaling behavior of the moments of their increments. We provide numerical simulations of a warped log-Normal ...

Starting with a set of calibrated photographs taken of a scene, voxel coloring algorithms reconstruct three-dimensional surface models on a finite spatial domain. In this paper, we present a method that warps the voxel space, so that the domain of the reconstruction extends to an infinite or semi-infinite volume. Doing so enables the reconstruction of objects far away from the cameras, as well ...

B.Y. Chen [5] established a sharp inequality for the warping function of a warped product submanifold in a Riemannian space form in terms of the squared mean curvature. Later, in [4], he studied warped product submanifolds in complex hyperbolic spaces. In the present paper, we establish an inequality between the warping function f (intrinsic structure) and the squared mean curvature ‖H‖2 and th...

Title of dissertation: PHENOMENOLOGY OF WARPED EXTRA DIMENSIONS Lijun Zhu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Kaustubh Agashe Department of Physics Warped extra dimensions provide a very interesting and attractive framework that solves the hierarchy problem of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics through the curvature along an extra dimension. In this thesis I...

In [4] B. Y. Chen studied warped product CR-submanifolds in Kaehler manifolds. Afterward, I. Hasegawa and I. Mihai [5] obtained a sharp inequality for the squared norm of the second fundamental form for contact CR-warped products in Sasakian space form. Recently Alegre, Blair and Carriago [1] introduced generalized Sasakian space form. The aim of present paper is to study contact CR-warped prod...

Basically all conventional digital signal processing techniques can be warped by introducing a simple modification to the system. In this paper, the focus is in warped linear predictive coding techniques with application to speech and audio coding. The performance of warped LPC is compared with a conventional LPC in listening tests and in terms of technical measures. This is done at various sam...
