Pinpointing the Beat: Tappi Performanc

In this study we report on an experiment in which listeners were asked to tap in time with expressively performed music, and compare the results to two other experiments using the same stimuli which investigated beat and tempo perception through other modalities. Many computational models of beat tracking assume that beats correspond with the onset of musical notes; we consider the hypothesis t...

Filler and Coating Pigments for Papermakers

Historians attribute the Egyptians in the Nile Delta with preparing the first type of paper, from a marsh grass called Cyperus papyrus. They cut the plant’s stem into thin strips, softened them in the river, and then pounded them into thin sheets that were then left to dry in the sun. The resulting sheets were ideal for writing on, and Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans used them for record keeping,...

Conference Report: FORTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL GASEOUS ELECTRONICS CONFERENCE Gaithersburg, MD October 18–21, 1994

Investigation of the physical aspects of beta imaging probes using scintillating fibers and visible - Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference, 1994., 1994 IEEE Conference Record

II. PROTOTYPE IMAGING PROBE SYSTEM We are developing a hand held imaging probe intended for intra-operative use. This pmbe is to be used after the bulk of tumor has been removed. It will locate residual malignant tissue labeled by a pre-operative injection of a tumor seeking radiopharmaceutical. The device presented here is a prototype system that consists of a 4 x 8 array of 925pm diameter pla...
