BACKGROUND It is unclear to what extent spinal pain varies between genders and in relation to age. It was the purpose of this study to describe the self-reported prevalence of 1) pain ever and pain in the past year in each of the three spinal regions, 2) the duration of such pain over the past year, 3) pain radiating from these areas, and 4) pain in one, two or three areas. In addition, 5) to i...

Acoustic Quanta

This paper presents a novel approach to sound analysis and resynthesis based on Gabor wavelets. These wavelets are mathematically simple and computationally modest, and are well suited to musical applications. This paper outlines the principles and equations behind quanta. It then gives examples of their applications in analysis and synthesis, and presents results from implementation on the PC.
