We have created a system that identifies musical keywords or themes. The system searches for all patterns composed of melodic (intervallic for our purposes) repetition in a piece. This process generally uncovers a large number of patterns, many of which are either uninteresting or only superficially important. Filters reduce the number or prevalence, or both, of such patterns. Patterns are then...

While still influential, the view that concepts are organized as a hierarchical taxonomy as proposed by Rosch (1973) has been challenged on several occasions. For example, some studies have attributed a larger role to thematic relations (Gentner and Kurtz, 2005; Lin and Murphy, 2001), whereas others have stressed the role of affect in structuring word meaning (Niedenthal et al., 1999). A compre...

abstract background: participation of woman in decision-making processes is one of the key indicators of an appropriate relationship between a woman and the health care professionals. this study aimed to recognize the factors facilitating respect for woman’s decision-making in spontaneous birth. materials and methods: this paper employed a meta-synthesis on articles published in four biomedical...

This text, which takes Cronbach and Gleser’s diagnostic decisions utility model as its major point of reference and the Thematic Apperception Test as its example, is devoted to the issue of the diagnostic value of projective techniques. The paper provides a brief discussion of the classification of projective techniques and shows how information on the category of tool can be used to select the...

This paper presents an automatic approach to planting areas extraction for mixed vegetation and hilly region, more cloud using moderate spatial resolution and high temporal resolution MODIS data around Guangxi province, south of China. According to banana growth lasting more 9 to 11 months, and the areas are reduced during crush season, the Maximum likelihood was used to extract the information...

This paper proposes a new methodology to improve territorial cohesion in clustering processes where many variables from different topics are considered. Clustering techniques provide added value identify typologies, but there still unsolved challenges when data contain an unbalanced number of topics. The feature selection method (TFSM) is presented as select the representative variable each top...

An advanced SAR interferometric analysis has been combined with a methodology for the automatic classification of radar reflectors phase histories to interpret slope-failure kinematics and trend of displacements of slow-moving landslides. To accomplish this goal, the large dataset of radar images, acquired in more than 20 years by the two European Space Agency (ESA) missions ERS-1/2 and ENVISAT...

In this letter, a technique for mapping the thermal infrared radiation variation within land cover using both a classification map and a thermal infrared image is proposed. Furthermore, a technique to effectively calculate the average thermal radiance for each land cover from Thematic Mapper (TM)-type sensors, which aquire high resolution of visible and near-infrared images and low resolution o...
