The psychology of music is a subfield of psychology that addresses questions of how the mind responds to, imagines, controls the performance of, and evaluates music. The history of this sub field has been greatly influenced by the major trends and develop­ ments in the parent discipline, and the organization of this chapter follows the tradi tional rubrics of that history. Earlier in the twenti...

The task of serial recall has become the touchstone for theories of short term memory. Many simple yet powerful computational models have been proposed to account for performance in the task. However, these models typically make only tangential reference to language processes, despite the fact that a key determinant of performance on the task is the extent to which the to-be-learned list mimics...

Phonetic ambiguity and confusibility are bugbears for any form of bottom-up or data-driven approach to language processing. The question of when an input is “close enough” to a target word pervades the entire problem spaces of speech recognition, synthesis, language acquisition, speech compression, and language representation, but the variety of representations that have been applied are demons...

Robotic technologies―constructed systems that interact with their environment in a way that displays some level of agency―are increasingly intertwined with human life and human bodies. This raises many regulatory questions, since current legal frameworks have few robotics-specific provisions and robotics pose new challenges to legal notions and underlying assumptions. To help guide the regulati...

homosexuality across time and place. The bulk of the book consists of 200 pages of alphabetical entries that range from key figures (Radclyffe Hall, Michel Foucault), organizations (Mattachine Society, Log Cabin Republicans), and moments (Stone-wall, the passage of Don't Ask, Don't Tell) in LGBT history, as well as more general references tied by Pickett to the subject. For example, Pickett inc...

This article studies the possibility of using circuit formats to describe radio components in electrodynamic modeling problems. The study was carried out on example a controlled metamaterial form an electromagnetic crystal with SPICE-models equivalent circuits pin-diodes and MEMS-keys. Also, Touchstone files as alternative format for describing radio-electronic considered. obtained results are ...

In out-of-core computations, data needs to be moved back and forth between main memory and disks during program execution. In this paper, we propose a technique called the Extended Two-Phase Method, for accessing sections of out-of-core arrays e ciently. This is an extension and generalization of the Two-Phase Method for reading in-core arrays from les, which was previously proposed in [7, 3]. ...
