Book Description
This six-volume set presents cutting-edge advances and applications of expert systems. Because expert systems combine the expertise of engineers, computer scientists, and computer programmers, each group will benefit from buying this important reference work. An "expert system" is a knowledge-based computer system that emulates the decision-making ability of a human expert. The primary role of the expert system is to perform appropriate functions under the close supervision of the human, whose work is supported by that expert system. In the reverse, this same expert system can monitor and double check the human in the performance of a task. Human-computer interaction in our highly complex world requires the development of a wide array of expert systems. Expert systems techniques and applications are presented for a diverse array of topics including Experimental design and decision support The integration of machine learning with knowledge acquisition for the design of expert systems Process planning in design and manufacturing systems and process control applications Knowledge discovery in large-scale knowledge bases Robotic systems Geograhphic information systems Image analysis, recognition and interpretation Cellular automata methods for pattern recognition Real-time fault tolerant control systems CAD-based vision systems in pattern matching processes Financial systems Agricultural applications Medical diagnosis

Handbook of Materials for Percussion Musical Instruments
Author: Voichita Bucur
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030986500
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1044
Book Description
This book describes the properties of materials used for making percussion instruments for classical music played by a symphony orchestra in which the instruments could be played as a soloist instrument or as a group or several groups of instruments, as they are included into a musical work. A chapter is devoted to the bells. The scope of this book is primarily confined to percussion instruments of symphony orchestras taking into account the centuries of musical art and tradition. This book bridges the gap in the technical literature on describing the properties of materials for percussion instruments—timpani, other drums, marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, gong, cymbal, triangle, celesta, castanets.

Nevermore
Author: Scott C. Anderson
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1329831918
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
This is a science fiction story about time. In 2081, Jon Cranston is the Daily Operations Director for the Nevermore laboratory. A process has been perfected and, at this time, temporal travel is commonplace. Observation platforms are in use affording no interaction with historical events. For Tom Rutgers, this situation is not good enough. Arrogant and anxious, Tom has decided to become an active member in history. Jon Cranston will have to work between the sinking of the Titanic, a filming of the I Love Lucy Show, and finish at the first moonwalk. Jon will have help along the way, which will change the life of a man in history, to a man of a new future. Intended for readers of all ages.

Tuning, Timbre, Spectrum, Scale
Author: William A. Sethares
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1447141776
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Tuning, Timbre, Spectrum, Scale focuses on perceptions of consonance and dissonance, and how these are dependent on timbre. This also relates to musical scale: certain timbres sound more consonant in some scales than others. Sensory consonance and the ability to measure it have important implications for the design of audio devices and for musical theory and analysis. Applications include methods of adapting sounds for arbitrary scales, ways to specify scales for nonharmonic sounds, and techniques of sound manipulation based on maximizing (or minimizing) consonance. Special consideration is given here to a new method of adaptive tuning that can automatically adjust the tuning of a piece based its timbral character so as to minimize dissonance. Audio examples illustrating the ideas presented are provided on an accompanying CD. This unique analysis of sound and scale will be of interest to physicists and engineers working in acoustics, as well as to musicians and psychologists.
