The purpose of the study was to test whether aesthetic judgments of music are affected by expertise or harmonic violation of musical sequences. The participants were 14 musical experts and 13 laypersons; they were asked to judge the beauty and correctness of extracts from J. S. Bach's chorales. Experts and laypersons showed different late positive potential (LPP) responses to the appraisal of c...

This paper extends tools developed by Richard Crandall in [16] to provide robust, high-precision methods for computation of the incomplete Gamma function and the Lerch transcendent. We then apply these to the corresponding computation of the Hurwitz zeta function and so of Dirichlet L-series and character polylogarithms.

We study analytic properties of the Witten zeta function W(r, s, t), which is also named after Mordell and Tornheim. In particular, we evaluate the function W(s, s, τs) (τ > 0) at s = 0 and, as our main result, find the derivative of this function at s = 0. Our principal tool is an identity due to Crandall that involves a free parameter and provides an analytic continuation. Furthermore, we der...

Pozega-Slavonia County has a long tradition of viticulture and oenology at which it becomes ever more recognizable. Although this is the economic segment of high importance for the local economy and regional development this study has shown that there is low percentage of representation in relation to the total agriculture potential of the county. In Republic of Croatia there are counties with ...
