An immersed boundary method (IBM) is presented, that can be applied to inviscid compressible flows, described by the full-potential or Euler equations, to start with. Possible applications that we envisage are preliminary aircraft design and rotor-flow computations. Although Navier-Stokes methods have improved significantly in the last three decades, and although computations with the latter eq...

This study examined the informetric properties of intervallic n-grams as derived from a database of 9354 folksongs. The informetric properties of the melodies were compared and contrasted to those of traditional text. Understanding these similarities/dissimilarities can play a vital role in the creation of a successful Music Information Retrieval (MIR) system. Various styles of n-gram creation ...

A typical music clip consists of one or more segments with different moods and such mood information could be a crucial clue for determining the similarity between music clips. One representative mood has been selected for music clip for retrieval, recommendation or classification purposes, which often gives unsatisfactory result. In this paper, the authors propose a new music retrieval and rec...

The use of informetric analyses has had profound effects on the development of powerful information retrieval systems. The informetric properties of melodies represented as simple collections of intervallic n-grams exhibit some remarkable similarities to the well-known informetric properties of text. Understanding these similarities can play a vital role in the creation of a successful Music In...

extended abstract 1. introduction abbasid period can be regarded as an epoch in which poetry and eulogy in persia reached maturity, i.e., in which poetry has become a means of praise and admiration (dayf, 2006, p. 565). the kings of this dynasty gathered a group of flattered eulogists and used them for political announcements (alebadi, 2006, p. 13), by allocating precious gifts of war booty to ...
