A multiphase flowmeter (MPFM) is used in the upstream oil and gas industry for continuous, in-line, real-time, oil-gas-water flow measurement without fluid separation. An MPFM typically consists of phase-fraction (holdup) velocity (or rate) measurements. It desirable to have homogeneous at location so that representative. horizontal blind-tee pipe-section often installed homogenize downstream v...

Musical meters vary considerably across cultures, yet relatively little is known about how culture-specific experience influences metrical processing. In Experiment 1, we compared American and Indian listeners' synchronous tapping to slow sequences. Inter-tone intervals contained silence or to-be-ignored rhythms that were designed to induce a simple meter (familiar to Americans and Indians) or ...

Enculturation is known to shape the perception of meter in music but this is not explicitly accounted for by current cognitive models of meter perception. We hypothesize that the induction of meter is a result of predictive coding: interpreting onsets in a rhythm relative to a periodic meter facilitates prediction of future onsets. Such prediction, we hypothesize, is based on previous exposure ...

An alternate renewable energy source, through a piezoelectric vibration harvester with bluff splitter body, could lead to higher efficiency in harvesting, vortex-induced at near-resonance condition 20 m/s high wind speed. However, is not as popular solar energy, the main source Malaysia, due relatively low speed available country. The INVELOX machine, introduced 2014, was one of most recent sys...

BACKGROUND Aim of the study was to compare the short-term effects of oxygen therapy via a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) on functional and subjective respiratory parameters in patients with acute hypoxic respiratory failure in comparison to non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and standard treatment via a Venturi mask. METHODS Fourteen patients with acute hypoxic respiratory failure were treated wi...

Automatic meter analysis aims to annotate a recording of a metered piece of music with its metrical structure. This analysis subsumes correct estimation of the type of meter, the tempo, and the alignment of the metrical structure with the music signal. Recently, Bayesian models have been successfully applied to several of meter analysis tasks, but depending on themusical context, meter analysis...
