many resources in the field of piano pedagogy have been accumulated and translated in iran. however, the concept of piano pedaling has been neglected to some extent. in this research, pedaling pedagogy in iranian tertiary level education is examined and practical solutions to enhance the quality of piano pedagogy are suggested in accordance to the cited research. according to music scholars in ...

Inadequate spillway capacity is one of the major reasons for dam failure in embankment dams. New Swedish guidelines for the design flood, adopted in 1990, have led to an extensive work with upgrading of the discharge capacity in a number of dams. A large number of dams have such a spillway design that they do not easily allow for accurate theoretical calculations of the discharge capacity due t...

Many of the quality recreational fishing opportunities in Illinois occur in reservoirs. Fish emigration from reservoirs during periods of overflow is termed “dam” or “spillway escapement.” Escapement can detract from recreational fishing opportunities in the reservoir and can disturb downstream ecosystems by creating an influx of unwanted and/or non-native fish. Previous research on spillway es...

The grand piano action is modeled as a set of four rigid bodies using Kane’s method. Computerized symbol manipulation is utilized to streamline the formulation of the equations of motion so that several models can be considered, each of increasing detail. Various methods for checking the dynamical model thus derived are explored. A computer animation driven by simulation of the equations of mot...

The sky-jump spillway is an economical solution to return water rivers, but unsuitable flip bucket design might jeopardize the spillway, dam, or other appurtenant works. Characterizing in advance, during phase, position, size, and shape of erosion basin would be useful ensure that flow returned river a safe way. Also, it for safety assessment throughout exploitation phase when has not yet reach...

The onset of the piano tone shows interesting characteristics due to several efSects. At the very beginning of a note, a variety of transients are mixed, some of which are propagated via the strings, and others via the structure of the instrument. The details of the structure-born transients in a grand piano were studied by removing the strings for a note in the mid range and letting the hammer...
