One challenge relating to the creation of adaptive music involves generating transitions between musical ideas. This paper proposes a solution to this problem based on a modification of the Q-Learning framework described by Reese, Yampolskiy and Elmaghraby. The proposed solution represents chords as states in a domain and generates a transition between any two major or minor chords by finding a...

BACKGROUND We hypothesize that 2 tendon-like anterior basal stay chords, which remain taut during the entire cardiac cycle, limit the motion of the anterior mitral leaflet. METHODS AND RESULTS Sonomicrometric crystals were implanted in 6 sheep at the insertion of stay chords at anterior mitral leaflet (S1 and S2), papillary muscle tips, fibrous trigones, mitral annulus, and the tip of the ant...

The process of generating chords for harmonizing a melody with the goal of mimicking an artist’s style is investigated in this paper. We compared and tested three different approaches, including a rule-based model, a statistical model, and a hybrid system of the two, for such tasks. Experiments were conducted using songs from seven stylistically identifiable pop/rock bands, and the chords gener...

Third chains are chords that built from a concatenation of minor or major thirds. A triad 0, 4, 7 is third chain, concatenating 4 with 7. important in harmony, and we shall demonstrate how they applied to the management harmonic contents general chords. This approach for analysis musical compositions.

The tendinous chords of the tricuspid valve are the predominant type of connection between the papillary muscles and the tricuspid valve. Studies describing the evolutionary line of these connections are well known. The flexibility of particular leaflets of the tricuspid valve varies, as does the tension of the blood stream in particular cusps. The present study was performed on a group of 96 f...
