Strategy maps are designed to help execute strategy and bring predictive qualities to key performance indicators by linking them according to perceived cause-and-effect relationships. However, strategy maps are often extrapolations of past performance and seldom sufficiently linked to possible future states. The authors of this paper argue that scenario analysis could play an important role in ...

This paper describes a music browsing assistance service, Songrium (http://songrium.jp), which enables visualization and exploration of large amounts of user-generated music content with the aim of enhancing user experiences in enjoying music. Such a huge amount of usergenerated content has yielded “web-native music”, which we define as musical pieces that are published, shared, and remixed (ha...

Background: Hospitalized patients with Covid-19 may experience emotional problems and respiratory discomfort during mechanical ventilation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of music therapy on respiratory comfort, anxiety, and depression among patients with Covid-19 under non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Methods: It was a randomized clinical trial. The subjects were 64 pat...

abstract this article tries to have a look at 40 images which shows ood player in sasani to safavi periods. these images can be considered as documents for more information about ood instrument. permanent elements in these images are the base of the analysis in this research. two types of figures were being considered as permanent elements: basic figure and non basic figure. in this research ba...

This paper discusses the concept of using background music to control video game parameters and thus actions on the screen. Each song selected by the player makes the game look different and behave variedly. The concept is explored by modifying an existing video game and playtesting it with different kinds of MIDI music. Several examples of mapping MIDI parameters to game events are presented. ...

McBlare is a robotic bagpipe player developed by the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. McBlare plays a standard set of bagpipes, using a custom air compressor to supply air and electromechanical “fingers” to control the chanter. McBlare is MIDI controlled, allowing for simple interfacing to a keyboard, computer, or hardware sequencer. The control mechanism exceeds the measured s...

This paper describes a performance interface called iFP that enables players to play music as if he or she had the hands of the virtuoso. iFP is a tapping-style musical interface and refers to a pianist's expressiveness described in a performance template. The paper describes the scheduler that allows a player to mix her/his own intension with the expressiveness in the performance template and ...

We present a new software application for ChucK programming and performance on mobile touchscreen devices, miniAudicle for iPad. This application seeks to accommodate keyboard-based music software development as well as explore new music programming possibilities enabled by touch interfaces. To this end, it provides a textual code Editor mode optimized for touchscreen typing, a live-codingorien...

Consumers expect portable devices packed with more and more features to maintain excellent battery life and small form factor. One trend is the integration of multiple music functions into a single device; such as the addition of digital music players into cell phones. With this migration to all-inone phone/MP3 player combination, analog switches are often employed to allow multiple sources to ...
