The following document was created in order to promote intonation consensus in ensembles and to better facilitate learning in educational settings. Non-keyboard instruments provide musicians an opportunity to make nearly infinitesimal adjustments to pitch while performing; this creates difficulties for students and challenges even the most seasoned professionals. Non-keyboard musicians struggle their whole lives to play in tune, and even when one knows exactly where they want to place a pitch, technical difficulties can foul any musician's performance.

Abstract:
<p> For matrix population models with nonnegative, irreducible and primitive inherent projection matrices, the stability of the branch of positive equilibria that bifurcates from the extinction equilibrium as the dominant eigenvalue of the inherent projection matrix increases through one is determined by the direction of bifurcation. However, if the inherent projection matrix is imprimitive this bifurcation becomes more complicated. This is the result of the simultaneous departure of multiple eigenvalues from the unit complex circle. Matrix models with imprimitive projection matrices commonly

<p> Historically, electrostatic forces and capillary surfaces have been a main focus of scientific inquiry. Recently, with the move towards miniaturization in technology, systems that include the interplay of these two phenomena have become more relevant than ever. This is because at small scales, capillary and electrostatic forces come to dominate familiar macro scale forces and consequently, govern the behavior of many components used in modern technology. In particular, these <i>electro-capillary</i> systems have been applied to areas such self-assembly, &ldquo;lab-on-a-chip&rdquo; devices,

"October 13, 2003" Bibliography: leaves 102-105. This work describes methods associated with general random effects models. Part one describes a technique for investigating mean-variance relationships in random effects models. Part two derives and approximation to the likelihood function using a Laplace expansion to the fourth order.

Abstract:
Numerical simulations of the complex flows of viscoelastic fluids are investigated. The viscoelastic fluids are modelled, primarily, via the Johnson-Segalman constitutive model. Our Numerical approach is based on finite volume method, based on the Johnson-Segalman constitutive model and implemented on the OpenFOAM® platform. The Johnson-Segalman model also easily reduces to the Oldroyd-B model under certain conditions of the material parameters. Since computations using the Oldroyd-B model have been extensively documented in the literature, we take advantage of the mathematical modelling conne

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 142-149).<br>In this document a mathematical model for the Czochralski crystal growth process is developed. The trend in current research involves developing cumbersome numerical simulations that provide little or no understanding of the underlying physics. We attempt to review previous research methods, mainly devoted to silicon, and develop a novel analytical tool for indium antimonide (lnSb) crystal growth. This process can be subdivided into two categories: solidification and fluid mechanics. Thus far, crystal solidification of the Czochralski pr
