The mission of the Studio Music and Jazz Instrumental Degree Programs is to: (1) prepare jazz instrumentalists to enter the music profession or further jazz studies; (2) identify, recruit, and retain high quality students who seek to pursue studio/jazz performance as a career; (3) foster faculty creativity and performance which serves as a role model for students; (4) develop, and revise course...

ActivePrompts are a new technology from Rhetorical, designed to offer a quicker and cheaper alternative to using voice talents and recording studios for the creation of an application-specific prompt library. Most speech user interfaces optimize the quality of their speech output by using pre-recorded prompts. In these applications, TTS is often considered to be a fall-back technology to genera...

The Sonic Arts Research Centre at Queen’s University Belfast was established in February 2001. This paper outlines the major developments at the Centre since its purpose built facilities were formally opened in April 2004; it describes the flagship resource of the Centre – the world’s first Sonic Laboratory; it discusses some of the research projects currently in progress and recent composition...

Time to cough resolution was the primary outcome for the BIDS trial (http://www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/projects/hta/ 099116). Patients were followed up at 7, 14, 28 days and 6 months after randomisation. Strenuous efforts were made by the research team in order to achieve a near complete data set. However there were still some parents/guardians who could not recall the date on which their infant stopp...

Studio-based teaching is well-established in creative disciplines such as architecture and the arts, but it has been rarely used in the teaching of IT at a tertiary level. The wider use of the studio model for teaching, originally proposed by Schon (1983), has been discussed extensively in the literature, and elements of it can be identified in teaching innovations such as problem-based learnin...

We have recently been witnessing the growing establishment of map-centered web-based geo-portals on national, regional and local levels. However, a particular issue with these geo-portals is that each instance has been implemented in different ways in terms of design, usability, functionality, interaction possibilities, map size and symbologies. In this paper, we try to tackle these shortcoming...

Recently ontology research has received much attention in geo-information science and the concept of ontology is very important for spatial information concept modeling and data sharing, classification of geographical classes. More importantly, it enriches the semantic theory of spatial information. Geo-information services and geo-information interpretation and extraction are the two main appl...

The most commonly used space in architectural education is the studio, which functions both as a learning centre and as a complex social organization. The behavioural elements in the design studio are analysed with respect to the social processes of environmental psychology; namely privacy, personal space, territoriality and crowding. A case study was conducted to evaluate the di¡erences betwee...

This paper illustrates the design work from an integrated third year Architecture Design Studio and Environmental Controls Systems (ECS) Studio. As the final project, all students developed a ‘Center for the Study of Light’, based on the quarter long experiments with light. The quarter began with spatial experiments with both day and electric lighting. In the ECS course students started with se...
