the objective of this study was the evaluation of ph, color parameters [lightness (l*), redness (a*), yellowness (b*), chroma (c*), hue (h*), a*/b* ratio, and color differences (δe)], mb, metmb, oxymb, deomb and whc in minced meat. three types of meat ( beef, camel and ostrich) and four mincing processes (three using a grinder with 7.5, 4 and 3 mm diameter holes in the plate, and a fourth in wh...

We present an approach for cover version identification which is based on combining different discretized features derived from the chromagram vectors extracted from the audio data. For measuring similarity between features, we use a parameter-free quasi-universal similarity metric which utilizes data compression. Evaluation proves that combined feature distances increase the accuracy in cover ...

This paper presents a de-interleaved subsampling receiver architecture suitable for homodyne receivers. The proposed topology requires only a single branch to down-convert and extract the inphase (I) and quadrature (Q) baseband signals. Using a singlebranch receiver eliminates the I/Q mismatch issue of traditional direct down-conversion receivers. The simplicity of the proposed receiver archite...

The realisation and evaluation of a musical key extraction algorithm that works directly on raw audio data is presented. Its implementation is based on models of human auditory perception and music cognition. It is straightforward and has minimal computing requirements. First, it computes a chromagram from non-overlapping 100 msecs time frames of audio; a chromagram represents the likelihood of...

Musical pitch identification was investigated in two experiments in which absolute pitch (AP) possessors and nonpossessors categorized tones presented in isolation into predetermined pitch classes. Stimuli consisted of 60 different tones per octave (at intervals of 20 cents). The experiments were designed to minimize the possibility that subjects could use strategies other than AP in perfi~rmin...

Color appearance could be an important factor to choose the honey. There are some factors such as changes in light conditions that could affect color appearance and consequently, customer’s decision to order. At the present study, the color appearance of 13 kinds of Iranian honey samples with different color was specified and raced under varying conditions of illumination and observer’s judgmen...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to derive and compare the inherent color (hue angle, chroma), translucency (TPSCI), surface gloss (ΔE*SCE-SCI), and surface roughness (Ra) amongst selected shades and brands of three hybrid CAD/CAM blocks [GC Cerasmart (CS); Lava Ultimate (LU); Vita Enamic (VE)]. MATERIALS AND METHODS The specimens (N = 225) were prepared into square-shaped (12 × 12 mm2) ...

microwave assisted fluidized bed drying is a novel drying technique which reduces drying time and yields higher quality products. in this study the effect of this method on color changes of whole and cut hazelnut kernels was investigated. the parameters of color and resulting total color change, chroma, hue angle and browning index were also calculated during drying in three temperatures (40, 5...

The article discusses the application of Formal Concept Analysis to the algebraic enumeration, classification and representation of musical structures. It focuses on the music-theoretical notion of the Tone System and its equivalent classes obtained either via an action of a given finite group on the collection of subsets of it or via an identification of Forte’s corresponding interval vector a...

The orange-red spectrum of  the skin of  electric yellow (Labidochromis caeruleus) is  one  of  the  idealistic and  necessary  schemas sought  by  aquarists  and commercial producers. In this study, the effect of live foods meal on the skin coloration of juvenile electric yellow was examined. 270 fish with an average living body weight was 0.42 ± 0.11 g, and average total length was 3...
