This article discusses how cyberinstruments created with digital waveguides—a technique for physical modelling synthesis, enable the augmentation of musical reality. These facilitate efficient replication of musical instruments and allow the extension of the properties of the replicas beyond the limitations of the physical world. The article examines how different composers have manipulated cyb...

The biogenic synthesis of metal nanomaterial offers an environmentally benign alternative to the traditional chemical synthesis routes. In the present study, the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from aqueous solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) by using Nigella arvensis L. seed powder extract (NSPE) has been reported. AgNPs were characterized by UV–vis absorption spectroscopy with ...

CONTEXT The transition to retirement has been recognized as a turning point in determining physical activity and may present a critical "window" for promoting physical activity. This systematic review examined changes in physical activity across the retirement transition, whether these changes vary by SES, and what is known about predictors of these changes. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Peer-reviewed...

Many researchers stressed the importance of physical effects in the synthesis and analysis of artefacts. Murakoshi and Taura [1998] feel that synthesising artefacts directly from physical effects is hard since effects have been created and described by scientists primarily for explanation of phenomena rather than for synthesising artefacts that embody these phenomena – and synthesis using them ...

The SLUGens pack for SuperCollider 3 is a collection of novel algorithmic sound synthesis and processing UGens. This paper describes various non-linear dynamic oscillators, buffer data processors, breakpoint set synthesisers, and miscellaneous filters. Non-standard sound synthesis has been neglected in modern research programmes concentrated on spectral and physical modelling synthesis. Its goa...

Plant-mediated synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles is a promising alternative to the traditional method of physical and chemical synthesis. In this paper, we report the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) by a biological method. During the study, Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by Allium sativum skin (garlic skin) extract. Formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles has ...

nanobiotechnology appears to be an emerging science which leads to new developments in the field of medicine. importance of the magnetic nanomaterials in biomedical science cannot be overlooked. the most commonly used chemical methods to synthesize drugable magnetic nanobeads are co-precipitation, thermal decomposition and microemulsion. however monodispersion, selection of an appropriate coati...

In this paper we propose a system based on a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) as a physical modeling synthesis engine and a hardware description language (VHDL) to implement the physical modeling synthesis algorithms. An evaluation of VHDL and CPLD technologies for this application was performed. As an example we have programmed the Karplus-Strong plucked string algorithm using VHDL on ...
