Abstract:
This paper compares the Bohlen-Pierce scale to other octave and nonoctave-based tuning systems, drawing parallels between it and the widely used 12-equal temperament. These parallels lead to the hypothesis that there can be a set ofharmonic mIes applicable to the Bohlen-Pierce scale that are analogous to the CUITent musical practice. Those theorized mIes are then applied to some examples of the growing body of musical compositions wrtten in the BohlenPierce scale. Aiso included are supportive arguments for a preference of the use of odd-partial timbres in performance of this scale, which make

The current technological evolutions introduce 3D geo-informatics to their digital age, enabling new potential applications in the field of virtual tourism, recreation, entertainment and cultural heritage.

It is argued that 3D information provides the natural way of navigation. However, personalization is a key aspect in a navigation system, since a route that incorporates user preferences is ultimately more suitable than a route which simply provides the

Abstract:
Open-world video games give players a large environment to explore along with increased freedom to navigate and manipulate that environment. These requirements pose several problems that must be addressed by a game's graphics engine. Often there are a large number of visible objects, such as all of the trees in a forest, as well as objects comprised of large amounts of geometry, such as terrain. An open-world graphics engine must be able to render large environments at varying levels of detail and smoothly transition between detail levels to provide a believable experience.

Abstract:
Victorian novels were, generally speaking, big. But what forms did their bigness take? Why did a "macro" aesthetic prevail in the mid-nineteenth century? And why, after losing influence in the following century, has it returned in recent years? This dissertation identifies three distinct features - one spatial, one temporal, one intellectual - crucial to that aesthetic. Moreover, it explains why that kind of fiction, which I call macrorealism, has come into fashion at two different historical moments.

We largely take these abilities for granted, but for robots, the task of understanding large outdoor scenes remains extremely challenging.

Prenatal depression is a significant problem because of the myriad psychosocial, somatic and obstetrical complications it poses. Numerous studies have confirmed that religiosity is related to positive health consequences, such as decreased levels of depression, but few have looked at religiosity’s relation to prenatal depression. Evidence is accumulating that Surrender to God, a specific measure of religiosity, is a possible mechanism by which religiosity positively impacts health, and this study is an investigation of Surrender’s relationship to prenatal depression.

The goal of this work was to know their evolutionary history. There are 2 types of Hb in HV polynoids: 1- and 4-domains. While they are extracellular, they are more related to intracellular globins that to annelid extracellular ones, indicating a distinct origin. We studied the ev

We have researched this problem and implemented the heuristic simulated annealing.

Our results show that CPSolver scales better for large problem instances. Simulated annealing as implemented by us is thus not suitable in itself for generating valid solutions to this problem
