There has been fascinating work on creating artistic transformations of images by Gatys et al. This was revolutionary in how we can in some sense alter the “style” of an image while generally preserving its “content”. In this work, we present a method for creating new sounds using a similar approach. For demonstration, we investigate two different tasks, resulting in bandwidth expansion/compres...

We firstly consider an investor faced with the classical Merton problem of optimal investment in a log-Brownian asset and a fixed-interest bond, but constrained only to change portfolio (and, if relevant, consumption) choices at times which are a multiple of h . We show that the cost of this constraint can be well described by a power series expansion in h , the first few terms of which we dete...

In this study, Thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) variation of Ln0.6Sr0.4Co0.2M0.8O3−δ (Ln=La,Nd,Sm and M= Fe,Ni,Mn) perovskite oxide have been evalouated. Different compounds have been prepared and thermal expansion coefficient have been meseaured in different temperature by means of dilatometer analysis. Structural parameters of compounds have been  determined by X-ray diffraction and Field ...

A thermoplastically extruded snack was produced from different blends of corn grits and silver carp minced meat. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to study the effect of fish meat content and to optimize the feed composition. Fourteen treatments from central composite design considering minced fish content (0-3 kg) and corn (7-10 kg) were used as the independent variables. The expansi...

Starting from the power series expansions of (sin −1 x) q , for 1 ≤ q ≤ 4, formulae are obtained for the sum of several infinite series. Some of these evaluations involve ζ(3).
