NUMEROUS COMPOSERS HAVE EXPLORED THE MODES OF the acoustic scale (or ascending melodic minor), including Adams, BartOk, Debussy, de Falla, Faure, Glass, Janacek, Liszt, Prokofiev, Ravel, Reich, Rzewski, Scriabin, Stravinsky, Szymanowski, Shostakovich, and virtually every contemporary jazz musician. The scale is clearly one of the central collections of twentieth-century tonality—and possibly ev...

in investigation of dynamic specifications of castellated beams, it is necessary to be studied the excitation intensity of dynamic mode shapes for different loading conditions. it is evident that for a specific loading, not all modes of a structure are excited and the structural response depends on the applied loading specifications. in this paper using the finite element method (based on ansys...

The article studies the topos Sets of actions of an 8-element monoid T on sets. It is called the triadic topos as T is isomorphic to the monoid of affine transformations of the twelve tone system Z12, leaving a given major or minor triad invariant. The subobject classifier Ω of this topos and its Lawvere-TierneyTopologies j are calculated. We explore the characteristic functions of the restrict...

background and objectives: surgical cancelation is a significant source of time and resource waste, patientsafety risk, and stress for patients and their families. in this study, a risk management-based approach is developed to prioritize factors contributing to surgical cancellation. methods: factors leading to surgical cancellation were comprehensively classified based on literature review.a...

the failure mode and effects analysis (fmea) is a widely used analytical technique that helps to identify and reduce the risks of failure in a system, component, or process. one important issue of fmea is the determination of the risk priorities of failure modes. risk ranking is produced in order to prioritize the focus on each of the failure modes that are identified. in this study, we applied...
