This paper presents a tool for mapping several commonly available novel controllers to various musical parameters in order to provide technological novices with a way to exploit new forms of musical interaction provided by technology. The tool automatically connects to a control interface specified by the user and maps input parameters of that interface to musical output. Besides being able to ...

In this paper we introduce two innovative image and video watermarking algorithms. The paper’s main emphasis is on the use of chaotic maps to boost the algorithms’ security and resistance against attacks. By encrypting the watermark information in a one dimensional chaotic map, we make the extraction of watermark for potential attackers very hard. In another approach, we select embedding po...

turbocharging an engine boosts its power by increasing the amount of input air. this task is accomplished by using the exhaust gas to power a turbine which is engaged with a compressor. the variable geometry turbocharger, vgt is a unique turbocharger that the diffuser vane angle can be changed over a wide range of positions. the mathematics of turbomachinery flow analysis is intensive and uses ...

a chaos control method suggested by erjaee has been reviewed. it has been shown that thistechnique can be applied in various evolutionary systems of 2-dimensional types. the method has beenapplied for cases of the henon map, as well as burger’s map. the limitations of the control techniquehave also been discussed by considering the standard map and the gumowski-mira map. the resultsobtained thr...

In recent years several classic halls for chamber music were renovated and a few halls of similar capacity were built in Russia. We have selected the most interesting ones and measured their acoustical parameters. Here we are presenting detailed descriptions of five halls in Moscow, Tula, Ufa and Penza in combination with the measurement data. Some of them have long reverberation time and their...

conclusion osem3d may provide better image quality and higher contrast than other methods for small animal imaging with the new myocardial imaging agent, [18f] fptp. results the location and size of myocardial infarction on pet images correlated closely with that observed with ttc staining. among the four reconstruction methods, osem3d provided the best assessment of infarct size (r2 = 0.994, p...
