This paper reports various aspects of the computer music realization of “Speakings” for live electronic and large orchestra by composer Jonathan Harvey, with the artistic aim of making an orchestra speak through computer music processes. The underlying project asks for various computer music techniques: whether through computer aided compositions as an aid for composer’s writing of instrumental...

Several application fields require finding Euclidean coordinates consistent with a set of distances. More precisely, given a simple undirected edge-weighted graph, we wish to find a realization in a Euclidean space so that adjacent vertices are placed at a distance which is equal to the corresponding edge weight. Realizations of a graph can be either flexible or rigid. In certain cases, rigidit...

We study the corrections to the determination of sin(2β) from the time dependent CP asymmetry of B → J/ΨKS which arise in the standard model. Although a precise prediction of these corrections is not possible we find that they are indeed extremely small, of the order of less than a per mil of the observed value. This means in turn that any deviation visible at the B factories will be a clear si...

Subspace identification techniques are reinterpreted via classical realization theory to formulate a wide class of subspace identification methods. Re-formulating subspace identification in terms of a low rank decomposition of a weighted Hankel matrix allows special cases such as impulse-based and step-based input signals, but also realization based on arbitrary input signals and correlation fu...

Several intersection graphs such as curves-in-the-plane graphs, circular-arc graphs, chordal graphs and interval graphs are reviewed, especially on their recognition algorithms. In this connection graph realization problem is mentioned.

Political evolutions and struggles of 19th century prepared the ground for realization of nationalities and emergence of nationalist movements. The realization of national identity in countries such as Iran, turkey and Egypt was partly due to the emphasis of governments on glorious history or ancient modernity of these nations. Emergence of nationalism in any country is affected by political, ...

There is growing agreement that the potential benefits of implementing business technologies will not be realised through the relatively simple act of going live with a new software application. Indeed, there is clear evidence that organisations must explicitly plan for, and proactively manage, the realisation of benefits, if a new technology is to deliver real value to its host organisation. I...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to give some theoretical suggestions and practical approaches in support of the implementation of “cluster supply chain” (CSC), which is a new management paradigm and enhances the competitiveness of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through integrating the advantages of supply chain and industrial cluster. Design/methodology/approach – A case study of cl...

We describe a graph-based generation system that participated in the TUNA attribute selection and realisation task of the REG 2008 Challenge. Using a stochastic cost function (with certain properties for free), and trying attributes from cheapest to more expensive, the system achieves overall .76 DICE and .54 MASI scores for attribute selection on the development set. For realisation, it turns ...
