Distributed packet scheduling in a wireless network is non-trivial due to lack of knowledge of which node has packets to transmit. This paper describes and evaluates Mozart, a new and practical approach that encourages collisions rather than trying to avoid them. Upon receiving multiple collided packets, the receiver carefully selects the retransmitters, so that all the packets can be recovered...

Many classical works from 18th and 19th centuries are sonata forms, exhibiting a piece-level tonal path through an exposition, a development and a recapitulation and involving two thematic zones as well as other elements. The computational music analysis of scores with such a largescale structure is a challenge for the MIR community and should gather different analysis techniques. We propose fi...

Theories of the diffusion of ideas in social psychology converge on the assumption that shared beliefs (e.g., social representations, rumours and legends) propagate because they address the needs or concerns of social groups. But little empirical research exists demonstrating this link. We report three media studies of the diffusion of a scientific legend as a particular kind of shared belief. ...

This study investigated the effect of music listening for performance on a 25-question portion of the analytical section of the Graduate Record Exam by 72 undergraduate students (M age 21.9 yr.). Five levels of an auditory condition were based on Mozart Piano Sonata No. 3 (K. 281), Movement I (Allegro); a rhythm excerpt; a melody excerpt; traffic sounds; and silence. Participants were randomly ...

Economic models describe individuals by underlying characteristics, such as the degree to which they like music, have sympathy, want success, need recognition, etc. In reality, such characteristics change through experiences: taste for Mozart changes through attending concerts, sympathy through meeting people, etc. Models typically ignore change, partly because it is unclear how to incorporate ...

MIRKA (2009) HAS RECENTLY ARGUED THAT THE 18th-century metrical theories of Heinrich Christoph Koch can be revelatory for a reconstruction of contemporary ways of hearing Viennese high classicism. Koch’s claims revolve around interactions between the metrical placement of cadences and the articulation of specific beat levels, and these claims are most specific and testable for common time and 6...

The ability of gifted composers such as Mozart to create complex multipart musical compositions with relative ease suggests a highly efficient mechanism for generating multiple parts simultaneously. Computational models of human music composition can potentially shed light on how such rapid creativity is possible. This paper proposes such a model based on the idea that the multiple threads of a...

Despite the use of fluoxetine as a first-line therapy, some patients do not show good therapeutic effect. Effective antidepressant therapy will reverse low serotonin and BDNF levels found in depression. Mozart K. 448 was reported to yield effect for Based on findings, combination depression is very rare. Therefore, this study aimed determine combined hippocampal an animal model under CUMS condi...

The paper Lending an Ear to Mozart’s Operas. Stanisław Barańczak’s Poetic Translation Experiments examines the issues of intermediality, in particular relationships between music and literature mixed creative genres fusing disparate media expression. brief study discusses connections inter-dependencies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Italian libretti Lorenzo Da Ponte, their translation Barańczak hi...
