OBJECTIVE The rate of weight gain in preterm infants who are exposed to music seems to improve. A potential mechanism could be increased metabolic efficiency; therefore, we conducted this study to test the hypothesis that music by Mozart reduces resting energy expenditure (REE) in growing healthy preterm infants. DESIGN. A prospective, randomized clinical trial with crossover was conducted in 2...

A variety of tools exist in hardware and software for mixing dance music. These work by estimating the “beats-perminute” count of music with heavy beats. These tools aid a DJ in finding the appropriate speed change and time shift to smoothly combine or transition between two pieces of music. In this work, we present a method for finding these alignments and combining a wider class of songs with...

We present a study on using a Mnemonic Self-Organizing Map for clustering a very homogeneous collection of music. In particular, we create a map containing the complete works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. We study and analyze the clustering capabilities of the SOM on this very focused collection. We furthermore present a web-based application for exploring the map and accessing the music it repre...

This thesis presents constraint propagation in Mozart which is based on computational agents called propagators. The thesis designs, implements, and evaluates propagator-based propagation engines. A propagation engine is split up in generic propagation services and domain specific domain solvers which are connected by a constraint programming interface. Propagators use filters to perform constr...

PURPOSE To evaluate the performance of automated perimetry of elderly subjects naïve to AP after listening to a Mozart sonata. INTRODUCTION Automated perimetry (AP) is a psychophysical test used to assess visual fields in patients with neurological disorders and glaucoma. In a previous study, Fiorelli et al. showed that young subjects who listened to a Mozart sonata prior to undergoing AP per...

This paper discuss the design, implementation and evaluation of a new network layer for Mozart. Mozart is one of the distributed programming platform which is based on the multi paradigm language namely Mozart supplies a factual network transparent implementation by maintaining network awareness, openness, and also fault tolerance. Its network layer provides message passing service to its highe...
