This paper introduces a new direction in the field of artistic live coding where musical works are presented as pieces in the form of a live coding system. The system itself and the code affordances become equivalent to score system in an open musical work for strong improvisation.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv) is a swine-specific pathogen that causes significant increases in production costs. When a breeding herd becomes infected, in an attempt to hasten control and elimination of PRRSv, some veterinarians have adopted a strategy called load-close-expose which consists of interrupting replacement pig introductions into the herd for several w...

The feasibility of using railroad flatcars (RRFCs) as the superstructure for bridges on lowvolume roads has been investigated in two previous research projects at Iowa State University. The results of these projects verified that RRFCs are efficient and economical alternatives for low-volume road bridges. Two county engineers involved with the RRFC project cited cost as the main factor for choo...

PURPOSE To characterize the physical and physiological responses during different basketball practice drills and games. METHODS Male basketball players (n=11; 19.1+/-2.1 y, 1.91+/-0.09 m, 87.9+/-15.1 kg; mean+/-SD) completed offensive and defensive practice drills, half court 5on5 scrimmage play, and competitive games. Heart rate, VO2, and triaxial accelerometer data (physical demand) were no...

The analysis based on an ideal state as well as the simulation and control to reach it are common issues in the design and construction of a cable-stayed bridge. For a long-span cable-stayed bridge, the huge initial stress accumulated in the pylon and the girder will reduce the overall structure stiffness. Thus, the live load evaluation employing influence lines, which is based on the Muller-Br...

A brief general description of the beef cattle slaughter process used in the United States of America is presented. Considerable variation in prevalence of microbial contamination at beef processing establishments has been reported. Primary factors which may explain this variation include: a) pathogen load on, or in, live animals entering the establishment; b) sanitation practices used by the e...

BACKGROUND Ozone is an unstable gas, capable of oxidizing any biological entity. It is an effective bactericide in its gaseous as well as aqueous form. AIMS The objective of this study was to determine the in-situ antimicrobial effect of 0.1 ppm ozonated water on plaque and salivary microorganisms. SUBJECTS AND METHODS 24 h old supragingival plaque (SP) was collected from the two most poste...

Delivering live multimedia streaming over ad hoc networks can improve coordination on battlefields, assist in disaster recovery operations, and help prevent vehicular traffic accidents. However, ad hoc networks often experience congestion faster than wired networks, leading to high end-to-end delays and jitter even for moderate traffic. This paper describes a partial remedy that applies to dela...
