This paper introduces the Studio Ontology Framework for describing and sharing detailed information about music production. The primary aim of this ontology is to capture the nuances of record production by providing an explicit, application and situation independent conceptualisation of the studio environment. We may use the ontology to describe real-world recording scenarios involving physica...

METHODS: During a 24-month study, out of 756 patients with acute ischemic stroke 33 (4.4%) were scheduled for early CEA. Endarterectomy procedures were distinguished according to the time between the onset of stroke and operation as emergency (within 8 hours), early CEA (1-18 days). Patients with impaired consciousness or an infarct larger than 2.5 cm on computed tomographic (CT) or magnetic re...

The deployment of a software product requires considerable amount of time and effort. In order to increase the productivity of the software products, reusability strategies were proposed in the literature. However effective reuse is still a challenging issue. This paper presents a framework studio for effective components reusability which provides the selection of components from framework stu...

— Audio and Video engineering students should be conversant with the work in the recording studio. Unfortunately, due to its high price, few units are available and thus the students cannot practice so much time as wished. In this paper the development of an Audio Recording Studio Simulator is presented. The simulator allows the students to practice with the different devices that can be found ...

The design studio is a medium of intense learning in architectural education. A learning experiment that engages in critical practice, seeking to present values instead of mere techniques, promoting investigative work rather than trying to bring exact definitions to what must be, is typical of architectural studio education. The choice of a theme around which to structure studio work is signifi...

This paper discusses the use of a computer tool designed to aid an architecture studio by: 1) supporting input by distant critics; 2) providing access to online cases and reference materials; 3) encouraging students to be clear and articulate about their projects; 4) supporting collaboration among students. The project, called CoOL Studio, employed a CoWeb, which allowed easy creation and modif...

ince its adoption in 1997, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) has proved very popular with software engineers and has become the de facto standard as a visual modeling language for software engineers. However, this software focus of UML has discouraged many systems engineers from adopting it in earnest. Those who did adopt UML developed strategies to cope with its shortcomings. A common approa...

Robert Levenson: You attended the University of Chicago as a 15-year-old, jumping directly from 10th grade in South Orange, New Jersey, to one of the top colleges in the country. What was that experience like for you, and how much influence did the Chicago years have on the kind of scholar, scientist, and person you became? Paul Ekman: In many ways, it ruined me for academia, because I have nev...

MOTIVATION Abstract shape analysis, first proposed in 2004, allows one to extract several relevant structures from the folding space of an RNA sequence, preferable to focusing in a single structure of minimal free energy. We report recent extensions to this approach. RESULTS We have rebuilt the original RNAshapes as a repository of components that allows us to integrate several established to...
