Julius Whiston [6] calculated the maximum size of an irredundant generating set for Sn and An by examination of maximal subgroups. Using analogous considerations, we will compute upper bounds to this value for the first two Mathieu groups, M11 and M12. Computational results gave explicit irredundant generating sets of M11 and M12 of size 5 and 6, respectively. Together these give the full resul...

We give a new proof of a formula for the fusion rules for type A2 due to Bégin, Mathieu, and Walton. Our approach is to symbolically evaluate the Kac-Walton algorithm.

Beat deafness, a recently documented form of congenital amusia, provides a unique window into functional specialization of neural circuitry for the processing of musical stimuli: Beat-deaf individuals exhibit deficits that are specific to the detection of a regular beat in music and the ability to move along with a beat. Studies on the neural underpinnings of beat processing in the general popu...

A flow-injection (FI) method based on analytical pervaporation was assessed for its routine use in the determination of volatile acidity in winery laboratories. The new method was compared with both the official method and the Mathieu method, which is most often used in Spanish wineries, by testing 30 different wines, including young and aged, and sweet and dry wines from Montilla-Moriles appel...

Tapping or clapping to an auditory beat, an easy task for most individuals, reveals precise temporal synchronization with auditory patterns such as music, even in the presence of temporal fluctuations. Most models of beat-tracking rely on the theoretical concept of pulse: a perceived regular beat generated by an internal oscillation that forms the foundation of entrainment abilities. Although t...
