Abstract:
At the Edinburgh University Collection of Historical Instruments (EUCHMI) there are two virginals where the strings are plucked extremely close to 1/4 of their length over a substantial part of the compass. Principles of Acoustics dictate that in such cases the fourth partial of the resulting sound is unlikely to be produced with any appreciable magnitude. Similar situations affecting different partials also occur when the plucking point is located at other fractional parts of the string length, such as 1/3 or 1/5. A database of plucking points, based on museum catalogues, was created and anal

<p> In 1901, Alice Hegan Rice, a wealthy socialite reformer, published the novel <i>Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch</i> which dealt her experiences working with the poor. By the end of 1902 her novel had become a national phenomenon and finished the decade as one of its five bestselling books. Though the novel was fictional in nature, the book&rsquo;s heroine, Mrs. Wiggs, was based on the life of a real woman, who inhabited the one of the poorest neighborhoods in Louisville, Kentucky at the turn of the twentieth-century, a slum known as the Cabbage Patch.

The outcrop in the western foothill of Taiwan contains mostly young formation with low resistance and poor cementation. Once the armor layer in river channel becomes eroded away, the exposed rock bed will be subjected to irrecoverable erosion. Intensive incision or widening of riverbed causes the instability of river channels and threatens the safety of cross-river or near bank structures.

The development of low-power electric devices has recently been advanced, a great deal of research pertaining to this area has therefore been investigated. Examples of low frequency vibrations in daily life include human’s motions, moving train, and flying flags. Such vibrations can be directly converted into electrical energy; however, lo

Although mechanical tea harvester boosts the harvesting efficiency by 12 to 15 times compared with hand-plucking method, it cannot avoid broken or old leaves and achieve the specific points (e.g., one tip with two leaves, one tip with three leaves, one tip with three leaves). High value tea is usually harvested by hand, which is labor intensive. However, tea farmers have faced the problem of labor shortage. To achieve efficient harvesting and specific plucking point
