Fishing for complements with chord, scale, and rhythm nets

The aim of this paper is to argue that complementation is an operation similarly fundamental to music theory as transposition and inversion. We focus on studying the chromatic complement mapping that translates diatonic seventh chords into 8-note scales wh ...

Measurement of the 171Tm beta spectrum

Lesya Shchutska, Alexey Boyarsky

The beta spectrum of the main transition of the 171Tm was measured using a double focalizing spectrometer. The instrument was lately improved in order to reduce its low energy threshold to 34 keV. We used the spectrometer to measure the energy end-point of ...

Shafranov shift correction to the Furth-Yoshikawa scaling of tokamak adiabatic compression

Olivier Sauter

In 1970, Furth and Yoshikawa (1970 Phys. Fluids 13 2593-6) introduced the scalings of adiabatic plasma compression. Basically, if the shape of the external plasma boundary and the aspect ratio are preserved during the compression, then the density, kinetic ...

Perturbation theory models for LSST-era galaxy clustering: Tests with subpercent mock catalog measurements in Fourier and configuration space

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We analyze the clustering of galaxies using the z = 1.006 snapshot of the CosmoDC2 simulation, a high-fidelity synthetic galaxy catalog designed to validate analysis methods for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). We prese ...

Comb Transducer for Generation of SH0 Mode in Crystalline Piezoelectric Membrane

Soumya Yandrapalli, Victor Plessky

It is shown that the comb IDT (CT) can efficiently excite SH0 mode in piezoelectric membrane of suitable orientation. The transducer has pitch equal to the wavelength (p=lambda) and the electrode size is half of the wavelength. As compared to conventional ...

Long-term evolution of Landau damping in the presence of transverse noise, feedback, and detuning

Xavier Buffat, Sondre Vik Furuseth

The effect of Landau damping is often calculated assuming a Gaussian beam distribution in all transverse degrees of freedom, which agrees reasonably well with beam measurements. However, the stability of the beam is strongly dependent on the details of the ...

Square Attack: a query-efficient black-box adversarial attack via random search

Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion, Maksym Andriushchenko, Francesco Croce

We propose the Square Attack, a new score-based black-box

l_2

and

l_\infty

adversarial attack that does not rely on local gradient information and thus is not affected by gradient masking. The Square Attack is based on a randomized search scheme where ...

Distant Neighbors and Interscalar Contiguities

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Daniel Harasim

This paper studies the "integration" problem of nineteenth- century harmony the question whether the novel chromatic chord transitions in this time are a radical break from or a natural extension of the conventional diatonic system. We examine the connecti ...

On the Richter-Thomassen Conjecture about Pairwise Intersecting Closed Curves

János Pach, Gábor Tardos

A long-standing conjecture of Richter and Thomassen states that the total number of intersection points between any n simple closed Jordan curves in the plane, so that any pair of them intersect and no three curves pass through the same point, is at least ...

Resonance in swirling wakes and sloshing waves : non-normal and sublinear effects

Francesco Viola

Similarly to mechanical structures, stable flows can exhibit resonance when perturbed by an impulsive or harmonic forcing. Swirling wakes and sloshing waves belong to this kind of flows and manifest large energy response when excited close to their natural ...

Optimized Kaiser-Bessel Window Functions for Computed Tomography

Michaël Unser, Cédric René Jean Vonesch, John Paul Ward, Masih Nilchian

Kaiser-Bessel window functions are frequently used to discretize tomographic problems because they have two desirable properties: 1) their short support leads to a low computational cost and 2) their rotational symmetry makes their imaging transform indepe ...

Absolute and convective instabilities of heated coaxial jet flow

Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, Leonhard Kleiser

This study investigates the inviscid, linear spatio-temporal stability of heated, compressible, and incompressible coaxial jet flows. The influence of the temperature ratio and the velocity ratio between the core jet and the bypass stream on the transition ...

Automatic Tonal Harmonization For Multi-Spectral Mosaics

Pouya Dehghani Tafti

When producing a mosaic of multiple multi-spectral images one needs to harmonize the colours so that the tone transition is smooth from one image to the other. Given two images Im(a) and Im(b), a transform T is sought to map Im(b) to an image that is harmo ...

Multiplicities of simple closed geodesics and hypersurfaces in Teichmuller space

Hugo Parlier

Using geodesic length functions, we define a natural family of real codimension 1 subvarieties of Teichmuller space, namely the subsets where the lengths of two distinct simple closed geodesics are of equal length. We investigate the point set topology of ...

Configural modulation of crowding

Michael Herzog, Bilge Sayim, Toni Saarela

The ability to make judgments about a peripheral target stimulus can be impaired when the target is surrounded by flanking stimuli. This effect is called crowding. Crowding is often related to relatively simple low-level mechanisms that pool visual informa ...

Improved Turbulence Profiling with Field-Adapted Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters Using a Bifrequency Doppler Noise Suppression Method

Ulrich Lemmin, David Hurther

A novel noise reduction method and corresponding technique are presented for improving turbulence measurements with acoustic Doppler velocimeters (ADVs) commonly used in field studies of coastal and nearshore regions, rivers, lakes, and estuaries. This bif ...

Construction of balanced sports schedules using partitions into subleagues

Dominique de Werra, Tinaz Ekim

Direct constructions for balanced tournaments known so far solve problems with 2n teams if 2n mod 3 not equal 1 or 2n = 2(p), p >= 3 or n is odd. Our construction uses an arbitrary partition of the league into subleagues. It solves more than half of the mi ...
