INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Music is a universal, cross-cultural phenomenon. Perception and enjoyment of music are still not solved with current technological objectives of cochlear implants. The objective of this article was to advance the development and validation of a method of programming of cochlear implants that implements a frequency allocation strategy. We compared standard programming ...

Football (soccer) performance requires a diversity of physical attributes and biomotor abilities, such as strength, power, jump mechanics, repeat sprint ability, change direction on-ball skills. In-season training focus is often based on metabolic conditioning activities small sided games, tactical technical football drills traditional running in order to further develop maintain aerobic anaero...

Strasheela provides a means for the composer to create a symbolic score by formally describing it in a rule-based way. The environment defines a rich music representation for complex polyphonic scores. Strasheela enables the user to define expressive compositional rules and then to apply them to the score. Compositional rules can restrict many aspects of the music – including the rhythmic struc...

Orthodontic miniscrews are widely used as temporary anchorage devices to facilitate orthodontic movements. Miniscrew loosening is a common problem, which usually occurs during the first two weeks of treatment. Macrodesign can affect the stability of a miniscrew by changing its diameter, length, thread pitch, thread shape, tapering angle and so on. In this study, a 3-D finite element analysis wa...

To many, music and language are hallmarks of humanity. Moreover, they seem to share formal properties: musical and linguistic expressions appear to be complex and rule governed, and their meaning seems compositionally determined. These apparent commonalities are among the reasons that have led some to wonder whether the abilities to produce and perceptually analyze linguistic and musical expres...

This paper investigates the inspection-of-pipe topic in a new framework, by rotation around pipe, peculiar to industrial sites and refineries. The evolution of ultimate system requires prototype design preliminary tests. A benchmark has been designed built mimic with main purpose assessing different types rotors control systems. presents mechatronics package including mechanical machining, elec...
