This research examines how parametric loudspeakers may be considered unique acousmatic musical instruments; how the parametric acoustic array (PAA) can potentially make new forms of music and listening experiences; and how PAA-design problems can be overcome. Interdisciplinary in nature, the study uses grounded theory and experimental music practice within a design research methodology. Theory emerges from data, in concert with analysis and framing that draws on areas such as electroacoustic music, spatial composition, acoustics, PAA science/theory, modulation theory, and medium theory.

Piled embankment reinforced geosynthetics are used as integrated foundation systems for construction of embankment over soft ground. Several design guidelines are available in the literature for these embankments based on the soil arching and tensioned membrane theories. However, among design engineers, there is uncertainty regarding the applicability of these design methods. This paper investigates some practical aspects and identifies some inconsistencies in applying these design methods.

Starting from the assumption that machine translation (MT) should be based on theoretically s o u n d grounds, we argue that, given the state of the a r t , the only v i a b l e solution for the designer of software tools for MT, is to provide the linguists building the MT system with a generator of highly specialized, problem oriented systems. We propose that such theory sensitive systems be generated automatically by supplying a set of definitions to a kernel software, of which we give an informal description in the paper. We give...

I recognize that my biases frame the work in this thesis, particularly the perspective that i use to consider social interaction and regulation. As an academic, my notions of social interaction are entirely grounded in a Western, and primarily American perspective. As a researcher and system designer, i draw from a diverse set of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, cultural studies, queer theory, and computer graphics. While i am partially versed in all of these fields, i am by no means an expert in any of them. Yet, i come to this research as a technologist who...

Organisational Behaviour This unit helps managers to understand the dynamics of individual and group behaviour in organisations, and how different forms of organisational structure and leadership can influence that behaviour. It enhances managers’ ability to understand attitudes and to predict, explain and control behaviour in organisations. The unit links conceptual tools and experiential activities to understanding organisations and managing the change process.

This book is designed as a supplementary text for upper division under- graduate and graduate real estate investment courses. The CD-ROM included with the book contains spreadsheets for data analysis tailored specifically to real estate settings. The major thrust is to bridge the gap between theory and practice by showing the student how to implement his real estate education in the real world. The study of real estate follows long traditions grounded in Urban Economics and Finance.

For the earthquake motion level 1, the elastic limit the value of a structure is usually adopted seismic activity. For Level 2 earthquake motion, on the other hand, the limit value that a structure does not collapse or repair through the seismic activity depends on the importance of intended structure. Level 2 earthquake motions are used for verification is based on the records of strong motion seismograms obtained from the Hyogoken Nanbu earthquake and the other, and seismic waveform types are assigned according to the ground....

Detection and classification arise in signal processing problems whenever a decision is to be made among a finite number of hypotheses concerning an observed waveform. Signal detection algorithms decide whether the waveform consists of “noise alone” or “signal masked by noise.” Signal classification algorithms decide whether a detected signal belongs to one or another of prespecified classes of signals. The objective of signal detection and classification theory is to specify systematic strategies for designing algorithms which minimize the average number of decision errors.
