Abstract Fragments transmitting 14th-century polyphony were discovered in Oxford 2018. These fragments from a large book of motets, copied and used England the 14th century. A reconstruction original source is provided notation analysed. hypothesis that was or offered.

Semi-active control devices have been shown to be more energy efficient than active devices and more effective in reducing seismic structural vibration than passive devices. A new type of semi-active control device, the piezoelectric friction damper has been made in this paper. Piezoelectric actuators used in the dampers can quickly and accurately respond to a voltage signal. They are also effe...

The ability to monitor the health of an instrumented structure, detect damage as it occurs, and issue an early warning during or soon after the earthquake (or some other natural or man made disaster), and before physical inspection is possible, has significant potential benefits in reducing loss of life and injuries, in emergency response, and in recovery following the disaster. The timeliness ...

Rapid passive device modeling is discussed in this work based on test structures fabricated in a 65 nm CMOS process with M1–M9 copper metal layers and one aluminum metal layer AP. Capacitance extraction for overlapping microstrips and shielded microstrip structures is investigated. Individual capacitances are modeled in terms of area and fringe components, either between microstrips or between ...

Wireless Network-on-Chip (WiNoC) has emerged as an enabling technology to design low power and high bandwidth massive multi-core chips. The performance advantages mainly stem from using the wireless links as long-range shortcuts between far apart cores. This performance gain can be enhanced further if the characteristics of the wireline links and the processing cores of the WiNoC are optimized ...
