Although music education is one of the human activities that requires the integration of all human senses and the involvement of all cognitive processes: sensory, perceptual, and cognitive learning, memory, emotion, and auditory and motor processes, music has tended to figure only marginally in an approach to secondlanguage acquisition. To explore the extent to which music education influences ...

Learning style in SLA is one of the individual factors in SLA. This paper starts by stating the importance of studying learning styles. Then it quotes several definitions of learning style. The main part of it sums up the types and models of learning styles. Learning style is mainly divided into three categories: perceptual learning style, cognitive learning style and personality learning style...

SUMMARY In this paper, we propose Affine Combination Lattice Algorithm (ACLA) as a new lattice-based adaptive notch filtering algorithm. The ACLA makes use of the affine combination of Regalia's Simplified Lattice Algorithm (SLA) and Lattice Gradient Algorithm (LGA). It is proved that the ACLA has faster convergence speed than the conventional lattice-based algorithms. We conduct this proof by ...

Databases are growing rapidly in scale and complexity. High performance, availability and further service level agreements need to be satisfied under any circumstances to please customers. In order to tune the DBMSs within their complex environments highly skilled database administrators are required. Unfortunately, they are becoming rarer and more and more expensive. Improving performance anal...

Computing utilities are emerging as an important part of the infrastructure for outsourcing computer services. One of the major objectives of computing utilities is to maximize their net profit while maintaining customer loyalty in accordance with the service level agreements (SLAs). Defining the SLAs conservatively might be one easy way to achieve SLA compliance, but this results in underutili...

A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a business operations concept that is sometimes inappropriately applied to engineering development. When an SLA is not converted to engineering requirements, development occurs blindly and testing is probably done against some of the values specified in the SLA. The result is higher risk and higher cost. This paper illustrates some concepts concerning data com...

Preliminary results are presented from a longitudinal study of SLA in a segregated urban area and a primary school with a high proportion of pupils with immigrant background.

Different sectors are being revolutionized by distributed ledger technology. According to the 2022 market valuation, Hyperledger is now second-largest blockchain platform for smart contracts. The creation of numerous apps may be sped up and simplified with contracts, but there certain draw- backs as well. For instance, vulnerability contracts created intentionally weaken candor, employed conduc...

When having repeated interactions with a service provider, a service consumer might desire guarantees on the delivery of the service. These guarantees involve both functional and non-functional properties of the offered service over a number of invocations. When the guarantee terms are explicitly defined in a document, we talk about a service level agreement. WS-Agreement is an industry driven ...
