Enculturation is known to shape the perception of meter in music but this is not explicitly accounted for by current cognitive models of meter perception. We hypothesize that the induction of meter is a result of predictive coding: interpreting onsets in a rhythm relative to a periodic meter facilitates prediction of future onsets. Such prediction, we hypothesize, is based on previous exposure ...

Automatic meter analysis aims to annotate a recording of a metered piece of music with its metrical structure. This analysis subsumes correct estimation of the type of meter, the tempo, and the alignment of the metrical structure with the music signal. Recently, Bayesian models have been successfully applied to several of meter analysis tasks, but depending on themusical context, meter analysis...

according to the changing business, nowadays teams are cornerstones of successful organizations, in addition, with the developments and technological innovations in communication and information, virtual teams are playing more critical role in today's business. on this basis, determining factors which affect virtual team's performance are important to both scholars and practitioners. ...

Rapid detection of bursts and leaks in water distribution systems (WDSs) can reduce the social and economic costs incurred through direct loss of water into the ground, additional energy demand for water supply, and service interruptions. Many real-time burst detection models have been developed in accordance with the use of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and the estab...

purpose of this paper is to present an implementation of a method that combines active and passive methods to measure and estimate the main performance parameters in IP networks. More specifically the method integrates performance and flow measurements. The main features of the method and an implementation using the flow meter NeTraMet are described. Test results for packet delays and delay var...

although there are many potential benefits associated with the use of virtual product development teams, exploiting these benefits requires an appropriate management. managing virtual product development team is a critical issue as many of these teams fail to accomplish their goals. review of previous literature shows that body of knowledge in managing virtual product development teams is fragm...

The expression of many nuclear genes in plants is light regulated. We have examined the fluence-response, time-course, and reciprocity characteristics of four nuclear, blue-light-regulated transcripts in Pisum sativum L. var Alaska: Cab RNA, pEA207 RNA, pEA215 RNA, and pEA25 RNA. To avoid complications due to blue-light-induced transformation of phytochrome, we have adapted the procedure of mea...

Wireless energy meter is a system developed to serve as a basic single-phase energy meter with advanced functionalities such as Peak hour setting, Peak load setting Wireless reading transmission; further the system eliminates the role of a Meter Reader.

BACKGROUND The Precision Xtra(®) meter is a promising low cost electrochemical point-of-care unit for measuring blood glucose concentration ([gluc]) in cattle blood. The meter uses an algorithm that assumes the intra-erythrocyte [gluc] equals the plasma [gluc] on a molal basis, and that the hematocrit is similar in humans and cattle. OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to determine the accur...
