چکیده

We present an application—XronoMorph—for the algorithmic generation of rhythms in the context of creative composition and performance, and of musical analysis and education. XronoMorph makes use of visual and geometrical conceptualizations of rhythms, and allows the user to smoothly morph between rhythms. Sonification of the user generated geometrical constructs is possible using a built-in sampler, VST and AU plugins, or standalone synthesizers via MIDI. The algorithms are based on two underlying mathematical principles: perfect balance and well-formedness, both of which can be derived from coefficients of the discrete Fourier transform of the rhythm. The mathematical background, musical implications, and their implementation in the software are discussed.

Comparison of logistic regression and neural network models in predicting the outcome of biopsy in breast cancer from MRI findings

Background: We designed an algorithmic model based on the logistic regression analysis and a non-algorithmic model based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Materials and methods: The ability of these models was compared together in clinical application to differentiate malignant from benign breast tumors in a study group of 161 patients' records. Each patient’s record consisted of 6 subjec...

On Perfectly Balanced Boolean Functions

Perfectly balanced functions were introduced by Sumarokov in [1]. A well known class of such functions are those linear either in the first or in the last variable. We present a novel technique to construct perfectly balanced functions not in the above class.

Balanced Hashing, Color Coding and Approximate Counting

Color Coding is an algorithmic technique for deciding efficiently if a given input graph contains a path of a given length (or another small subgraph of constant tree-width). Applications of the method in computational biology motivate the study of similar algorithms for counting the number of copies of a given subgraph. While it is unlikely that exact counting of this type can be performed eff...

In conventional power systems, frequency and voltage deviations are chosen as indexes for characterizing conventional power system security. While  in an autonomous micro grid with Electronically Interfaced Distributed Generation (EIDG), frequency and voltage deviations  against power and loads disturbances perfectly controlled by f-P and V-Q controller. Unlike conventional power syst...

Interactive Form-Generation in High-Performance Architecture Theory

Architecture as a designerly way of thinking and knowing is to interact with its environment. The manuscript is to speculate “interactive form-generation” based on high-performance architecture theory, and discuss the precursors and the potentials. The research aims to explore and determine the roots, aspects of interactive architecture as a part of performance-based design in contemporary arch...
