This paper presents a corpus-based study on rhythmic patterns in the RAG-collection of approximately 11.000 symbolically encoded ragtime pieces. While characteristic musical features that define ragtime as a genre have been debated since its inception, musicologists argue that specific syncopation patterns are most typical for this genre. Therefore, we investigate the use of syncopation pattern...

• The Perfect introduces a time interval: the “perfect time span” (PTS). • The Right Boundary (RB) of the PTS is set by Tense. • The Left Boundary (LB) of the PTS may be set by “perfect adverbials”. • The lower predicate (event) is predicated of the PTS, either directly or mediated by various devices, most notably operators associated with the Perfective or Imperfective. • When the predicate ha...

With the exception of certain sour milks such as kefir and koumiss, the presence of lactose-fermenting yeasts in dairy products is most undesirable because it results in gassy fermentation. Since the early days of microbiology, many lactosefermenting yeasts, both sporogenous and asporogenous, have been isolated. In most of the cases, however, the descriptions of these yeasts, viewed by present ...

“Plus que jamais, la recherche me paraissait s’identifier à la nature humaine. En exprimer l’appétit, le désir de vivre. C’était bien le meilleur moyen trouvé par l’homme de braver le chaos de l’univers. De dominer la mort.” (More than ever, scientific research seemed to me to be intrinsic to human nature. It expressed the hunger, the desire to live. It has, in fact, been the best means found b...

Projective connections first appeared in Cartan’s papers in the 1920’s. Since then they have resurfaced periodically in, for example, integrable systems and perhaps most recently in the context of so called projectively equivariant quantisation. We recall the notion of projective connection and describe its relation with the algebra of densities on a manifold. In particular, we construct a Lapl...

For example, a standard definition video of 100GB+ costs roughly $252 per year to store and transmit via a cloud service such as Windows Azure. The cost could run into hundreds of thousands of dollars when hours of videos or thousands of uncompressed images in terabytes are stored. The transmission cost and time of such uncompressed data is additional overhead, since it requires gigabytes of ba...

Since 1920 an international course of training in Public Health Nursing, organised by the Red Cross Societies, has been held at Bedford College for Women in order to meet the increasing demand in all countries for nurses qualified for service in the Public Health field. This year the students have more than maintained the high standard set by former groups, and all sixteen students received the...
