This paper presents a method for using a runner’s pace for real-time control of the time-scaling functionality of a phase vocoder, resulting in the automated synchronization of an audio track tempo to the generated control signal. The increase in usage of portable music players during exercise has given rise to the development of new personal exercise aids, most notably the Nike+iPod system, wh...

Introductions to Philosophy There are many good introductions to philosophy: [21], [51] and [1] have the advantage of being short and cheap. There are a few books [42, 10, 33] that introduce philosophical ideas by analysing films which raise philosophical issues. One of the advantages of these books is that they allow you to say that you are doing valuable research for this module while watchin...

The emotional state of the user is a new dimension in human-computer interaction, that can be used to improve the user experience. This is the domain of affective computing. In our work we focus on the applications of affective techniques in the design of video games. We assume that a change in the affective condition of a player can be detected based on the monitoring of physiological signals ...

Fiber ferrule is a crucial part for manufacturing fiber connectors. It is fairly difficult to produce fiber ferrule because that it requires high dimension accuracy. Currently, YTZ ceramic powder is the main material used to produce fiber ferrule and Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM) is a new fabricating method capable of producing ZrO2 fiber ferrule (Fig. 1(a), Fig. 1(b)) with complex geometry a...

SYNOPSIS. Selective breeding of house mice has been used to study the evolution of locomotor behavior. Our model consists of 4 replicate lines selectively bred for high voluntary wheel running (High-Runner) and 4 bred randomly (Control). The major changes in High-Runner lines appear to have taken place in the brain rather than in capacities for exercise. Their neurobiological profile resembles ...

The objective of this work was to test a closed soilless growing system for producing bare root transplants and runner tips of two strawberry clones, using two categories of substrates. The system used corrugated roofing panels of fiber‐cement, over which a substrate layer was used as a growing bed. The nutrient solution was pumped from a reservoir toward the upper end of the roofing panels and...
