In this short communication we describe some experiments in which methods of statistical pattern recognition are applied for musical style recognition and disputed musical authorship attribution. Values of a set of 20 features (also called ‘‘style markers’’) are measured in the scores of a set of compositions, mainly describing the different sonorities in the compositions. For a first study ove...

We examine homogeneous solitons of the ambient obstruction flow and, in particular, prove that any compact soliton with constant scalar curvature is trivial. Focusing on dimension 4, we show gradient Bach steady must be flat, and only non-Bach-flat shrinking are product metrics $$\mathbb {R}^2\times S^2$$ {R}^2 \times H^2$$ . also construct a expanding soliton. establish number results for to g...

The implementation of microbial fecal source tracking (MST) methods in drinking water management is limited by the lack of knowledge on the transport and decay of host-specific genetic markers in water sources. To address these limitations, the decay and transport of human (BacH) and ruminant (BacR) fecal Bacteroidales 16S rRNA genetic markers in a drinking water source (Lake Rådasjön in Sweden...
