Beat Browser is a music browsing environment that delivers immediate audio feedback while browsing arbitrarily large music collections. The goal of Beat Browser is to give users a sense of exploring "live" and continuous audio while rapidly moving between sources by mouse. It appears their entire universe of music is playing all the time, whether they're there listening or not. Beat Browser's Universal Time Base architecture keeps a central clock running that manages the playback position of every piece of music launclied, orchestrating this perceptual illusion.

Full textMy poetry collection fuses Sesotho and English, often within the same poem, as a way of showing how I live within and between two cultures. I write to celebrate these two tongues without compromising either language and allow each poem, to express its own musical component, tone, rhythm, and pace as it moves between stage and page. My poems converse about difficult subjects from a feminine voice. They look at family structures and dynamics, using everyday household things as metaphors. They take on deep family narratives of generational curses, births, deaths and love. There are also some more political poems about community outrage, the exploitation caused by outmoded culture and tradition, and about the nightmare that constantly wants to come out of the township.

The arterial baroreflex is a fast-acting control mechanism that the body relies on to regulate blood pressure. Previous efforts to quantitatively model the baroreflex have relied primarily on non-parametric characterization of the transfer function from blood pressure to heart rate (Berger et al.,1989, Akselrod et al., 1981,1985). Of the parametric models proposed, most focus on matching empirical transfer functions with continuous-time models (Berger et al., 1991). Use of these models is often restricted to simulation, and consequently not focused on prediction. We develop a beat-to-beat, one-pole model for the baroreflex that can parsimoniously capture both the empirical frequency-domain and time-domain characteristics of the baroreflex. Further, we develop a robust identification method for on-line estimation of our model parameters from clinical data. We conclude by presenting preliminary results of our model and estimation method applied to patients undergoing drug-induced autonomic blockade.

Full textThe aim of this dissertation is to reassess the position of women writers within the Beat Generation and re-evaluate their work within (post)Beat – and extra-Beat – literary and artistic discourses. To do so, the dissertation is divided into three main chapters which focus on different themes and, incidentally, on the work of different writers and poets. Chapter two tackles the personal/literary dilemma by analyzing eleven memoirs written by women associated with the Beat Generation. By investigating common themes in the memoirs – namely, writing, gender roles, and connection with the Beat Generation – this chapter situates the women in a specific socio-political and artistic context that was common to the male Beat writers, but also expands the concerns found in the works of the male Beats by dealing with themes such as motherhood, abortion, domesticity or even the responsibility of economically supporting the family. Nevertheless, this chapter goes beyond the personal position or personal experience of these authors by studying the specific use they make of memoir as a genre. Bringing into the fore life-writing studies and feminist reevaluations of the dialogue between genre and gender, this chapter argues for a thoughtful reexamination of the literary and artistic value of the – too-often – discarded memoirs. The third chapter moves on to poetry, specifically to Joanne Kyger’s The Tapestry and the Web (1965), Diane di Prima’s Loba (1998) and Anne Waldman’s The Iovis Trilogy (2011), to examine the way in which these poets revise or appropriate mythological themes, characters and discourses. Kyger, for instance, works directly with Homer’s The Odyssey to endow Penelope with a more contemporaneous mindset and space to express herself, while simultaneously keeping her “trapped” within Homer’s framework. Di Prima’s Loba – written mostly in the mid seventies – resonates more clearly with feminist appropriation of mythological characters as well as with the specific Goddess Movement. The last part of the chapter explores Anne Waldman’s deconstruction of the patriarchal myths through the ongoing metaphor of “all is full of Jove” – which alludes to the omnipresent and almighty patriarch, Zeus. In addition to the focus on mythology as a fictive construction, these three poetry collections reevaluate the position of women within the epic genre. The last chapter focuses on visual arts to counteract the visual representation of women in the Beat Generation generated by the mainstream media, and situates their writing in a multi- and trans-media context that places it at the forefront of 1960s artistic and literary experimentation. The first part of the chapter delineates the actual involvement of poets with film and video as, mainly, mediums from which to expand their poetry and artistic vision. The last part focuses on the connection between ruth weiss’s poetry and the visual art world in two different ways: the influence of visual arts like painting, sculpture and lightshows on her poetry, and the actual expansion of her poetry into other media such as painting, theater and film. The conclusion stresses the necessity of placing these women’s poetry and art in the foreground of academic and scholar discourses of the Beat Generation. The approach adopted avoids a comparison with the work of male writers of the generation, which allows for a much freer space from which to analyze their literature outside of a victimized position, while it also establishes the self-sufficiency and aesthetic and thematic relevance of their work. To do so, the dissertation uses as a methodological framework cultural and gender studies, as well as feminist criticism. The formal analysis, in addition, is informed by thematic and formal readings of the literary and visual representation of gender and sexuality developed by feminist and queer criticism.

Full textSyftet med denna studie var att undersöka effekten av Bani, som representant för Binaural Beat-teknologi, på stress. Som delsyfte undersöktes även ångest och depressivitet. Samplet utgjordes av 27 universitetsstuderande på Örebro universitet. Binaural Beats är ljudfrekvenser med vilka hjärnans EEG sägs synkroniseras och kan påverka medvetandetillståndet. Genom en experimentell design med
upprepade mätningar och en kontrollgrupp undersöktes
förändringar i stress, ångest och depressivitet under fyra veckors lyssnande av Bani. Signifikanta effekter över tid påträffades gällande psykisk stress och depressivitet för interventionsgruppen. Vissa gruppskillnader påträffades även för ångest och fysisk stress, vilka dock verkade vara av mer naturligt fluktuerande karaktär. Resultaten indikerade att Bani har en lindrande effekt på psykisk stress och depressivitet.
Nyckelord. Binaural Beats, stress, hjärnsynkronisering, Bani,

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Bani, as a representative of Binaural Beat technology, on stress. As a secondary purpose anxiety and depression were examined. The sample consisted of 27 university students at the Örebro University. Binaural Beats are sound frequencies with which the brain is said to synchronize and can
affect states of conciousness. Changes in stress, anxiety and depression were examined through an experimental design with repeated measures and a control group for a period of four weeks of listening to Bani. Significant effects were found over time concerning psychological stress and depression for the intervention group. Some group differences were
also found for anxiety and physiological stress, although they seemed to be more affected by natural fluctuations. The results indicated that Bani has a decreasing effect on psychological stress and depression.
Keywords: Binaural Beats, stress, brainwave synchronization, Bani, anxiety, depression.

This research looks for to extend the knowledge on the history of the women, being taken as base and example the history of the women beats. Before going into in the history of the women who had been part of this generation, we made an analysis on the contracultural movement Beat generation, the historical context of the period and, after these considerations, we ponder of that forms the women were inserted inside of the circle. As research source, we use the autobiográfico book of the writer beat Carolyn Cassady -, My Years With Cassady, Kerouac and Ginsberg -, to be able to understand as it inserted itself in the movement and as the men beats, exactly that involuntarily, they strengthened the sort papers. At the same time, we search to analyze the United States society of the second half of century XX, to be able to understand which they had been the places denied to the women and of that forms the relations of being able and the imaginary one on the place of each one had been being constituted. We lead in consideration, also, the difficulties in if studying the women in history. For the analyses that in we consider them to make, it is important to evaluate as the society dealt with these women, which was the relations of being able that already they permeavam the society and of which forms these relations (reverse speed) were constructed and strengthened daily. As cloth of deep, we take in consideration the history of the women and the deletion of these personages in our history, memory and in our books, that is, of that it forms these absences in /de the historical sources daily are reflected in the didactic materials and taught History/learned. We look for to extend the notion of the importance of the women in history and memory, not leaving that the silence and the deletion of its lives and histories hinder its appearance in the historical knowledge and the History taught in classrooms.
Este trabalho busca aprofundar o conhecimento sobre a história das mulheres, tomando como base e exemplo a história das mulheres beats. Antes de adentrarmos na história das mulheres que fizeram parte dessa geração, fizemos uma breve análise sobre o movimento contracultura que ficou conhecido como Beat generation, o contexto histórico do período e, após essas considerações, ponderamos de que formas as mulheres estavam inseridas dentro do círculo. Como fonte de pesquisa, utilizamos o livro autobiográfico da escritora beat Carolyn Cassady –,My Years With Cassady, Kerouac and Ginsberg –, para podermos compreender como ela se inseria no movimento e como os homens beats, mesmo que involuntariamente, reforçavam os papéis de gênero. Ao mesmo tempo, buscamos analisar a sociedade estadunidense da segunda metade do século XX, para podermos entender quais foram os lugares denegados às mulheres e de que formas as relações de poder e o imaginário sobre o lugar de cada um foram sendo constituídas. Levamos em consideração, também, as dificuldades em se estudar as mulheres na história. Para as análises que nos propomos a fazer, é importante avaliarmos como a sociedade lidava com essas mulheres, quais eram as relações de poder que já permeavam a sociedade e de quais formas essas relações eram (re)construídas e reforçadas diariamente. Como pano de fundo, levamos em consideração a história das mulheres e o apagamento dessas personagens em nossa história, memória e, consequentemente, em nossos livros, ou seja, de que forma essas ausências nas/das fontes históricas são diariamente refletidas nos materiais didáticos e na História ensinada/aprendida. Procuramos ampliar a noção da importância das mulheres na história e memória, não deixando que o silêncio e o apagamento de suas vidas e histórias impeçam a sua aparição no conhecimento histórico e na História ensinada em salas de aula.

Durante os anos 50, a Geração Beat emerge no cenário literário estadunidense como representante de rebeldia e não submissão à política de contenção definida pela Guerra Fria. Após a publicação de On The Road em 1957, seu autor, o escritor Beat Jack Keoruac, tornou-se o porta-voz da geração e seu texto foi elevado à condição de marco cultural para os subseqüentes movimentos de contracultura naquele país. O presente estudo tem por objetivo demonstrar que On the Road ecoa as mesmas dicotomias que definiram o Outro cultural estadunidense no discurso de contenção promovido pela Guerra Fria. Desta maneira, On the Road é percebido como um texto conflituoso onde as referências supostamente progressivas à heterogeneidade cultural e racial reproduzem o discurso dominante no lugar de estabelecer o discurso de protesto no qual sua reputação foi construída. Este estudo também percebe o apelo revolucionário do texto como sendo resultado das mistificações referentes à técnica que definiram a arte no período do pós-guerra. No capítulo 2, tanto o projeto de expansão imperialista quanto as políticas federais que visavam o desenvolvimento de uma sociedade hegemônica são analisados a partir de sua relação com os então definidos grupos minoritários. O capítulo 3 examina On the Road como sendo parte do utópico projeto da espontaneidade, um movimento estético que, visando evadir os conflitos políticos e sociais da época, acabou promovendo concepções hegemônicas em relação à alteridade e à superioridade dos movimentos artísticos. O capítulo 4 apresenta possibilidades para futuras pesquisas assim como minhas conclusões sobre como o texto de Kerouac reproduz discursos dominantes.

Full textInvestigaciones anteriores han demostrado que los gestos son beneficiosos para el aprendizaje de idiomas. Esta tesis doctoral se centra en los efectos de los gestos rítmicos, es decir, los movimientos de manos y brazos que acompañan las partes prosódicamente prominentes en el habla. Hay poca investigación sobre cómo las dos propiedades centrales de los gestos rítmicos - el foco de información y las posiciones rítmicas en el habla - pueden ser beneficiosas para aprender una primera o segunda lengua. El objetivo principal de esta tesis doctoral es investigar cómo la prominencia prosódica y gestual, expresada conjuntamente en los gestos rítmicos benefician (a) la memorización de la información en una primera lengua (Estudio 1); (b) el aprendizaje de vocabulario en una segunda lengua (Estudio 2); y (c) mejora de la pronunciación una segunda lengua (Estudio 3). Esta tesis doctoral incluye tres estudios independientes que exploran el tema mencionado. El primer estudio tiene como objetivo investigar el papel de la prominencia prosódica (acentos tonales) y la prominencia del gesto (gestos rítmicos) en la memorización de la información en un discurso. Los resultados revelan que la presencia de prominencia gestual agrega efectos beneficiosos en la memorización de información en comparación con las condiciones en las que los gestos rítmicos están ausentes. El segundo estudio investiga los efectos de los gestos rítmicos y la prominencia prosódica (a través de estímulos que contienen combinaciones de presencia o ausencia de prominencia prosódica en el habla y presencia o ausencia de prominencia gestual) en la memorización de palabras nuevas en una segunda lengua. Los resultados muestran que el efecto más fuerte corresponde a las palabras presentadas con prominencia gestual junto con la prominencia prosódica. El tercer estudio tiene como objetivo investigar si la producción de gestos rítmicos, como marcadores de información rítmica, tiene efectos beneficiosos adicionales en la mejora de la pronunciación de un segundo idioma en comparación con solo la observación de gestos rítmicos. Los resultados indican que producir gestos rítmicos conduce a un mayor beneficio en la mejora de acento en comparación con la simple observación de gestos rítmicos. En general, los tres estudios muestran evidencia de que los gestos rítmicos producidos de forma natural (es decir, acompañados de prominencia prosódica) favorecen la memorización de información en el idioma nativo (Estudio 1) y el aprendizaje de palabras nuevas en un segundo idioma (Estudio 2). Además, los resultados muestran que la producción de gestos rítmicos muestran un efecto beneficioso para la mejora de la pronunciación (Estudio 3). Los resultados de los estudios presentados en esta tesis apoyan las teorías de la cognición corporeizada (embodied cognition) con nuevas evidencias de que añadir información visuoespacial, expresada mediante gestos rítmicos, a la prominencia prosódica resulta beneficiosa para el aprendizaje. Los resultados de este tesis tienen implicaciones para las prácticas de enseñanza de un segundo idioma y las teorías de la cognición orientada a la acción o cognición corporeizada .

Physicians require automated techniques to accurately analyze the vast amount of physiological data collected by continuous monitoring devices. In this thesis, we consider one analysis task in particular, the classification of heartbeats from electrocardiographic recordings (ECG). This problem is made challenging by the inter-patient differences present in ECG morphology and timing characteristics. Supervised classifiers trained on a collection of patients can have unpredictable results when applied to a new patient. To reduce the effect of inter-patient differences, researchers have suggested training patient-adative classifiers by training on labeled data from the test patient. However, patient-adaptive classifiers have not been integrated in practice because they require an impractical amount of patient-specific expert knowledge. We present two approaches based on machine learning for building accurate patientadaptive beat classifiers that use little or no patient-specific expert knowledge. First, we present a method to transfer and adapt knowledge from a collection of patients to a test-patient. This first approach, based on transductive transfer learning, requires no patient-specific labeled data, only labeled data from other patients. Second, we consider the scenario where patient-specific expert knowledge is available, but comes at a high cost. We present a novel algorithm for SVM active learning. By intelligently selecting the training set we show how one can build highly accurate patient-adaptive classifiers using only a small number of cardiologist supplied labels. Our results show the gains in performance possible when using patient-adaptive classifiers in place of global classifiers. Furthermore, the effectiveness of our techniques, which use little or no patient-specific expert knowledge, suggest that it is also practical to use patient-adaptive techniques in a clinical setting.

Full textThis thesis proposes a noise model refinement for spectroscopic measurements using dual optical frequency combs. Until now most studies centered their efforts on noise characterization using chirp free combs based on an unproved hypothesis: measurements would get worse with chirped combs since multiplicative noises would be present over a longer duration on the interference pattern thus leading to a greater impact. However, at least one experimental result hinted to the contrary: differential chirp would actually improve the signal to noise ratio. This thesis therefore aims at increasing the understanding of noise when a differential chirp is present in a dual comb measurement. The specific goal is to provide new insights about the usefulness of chirp in this kind of measurement. With this in mind, we conducted a literature review of noise models in optical frequency combs. We subsequently analyzed the chirp’s effect in the presence of both additive and multiplicative noise. The thesis also proposes a phenomenological model to describe the amplified spontaneous emission - ASE in short pulse lasers mode locked using non linear polarization rotation. Finally the comb spectra and their beat notes are characterized putting special attention to their relation with the ASE components. As conclusions, we can report that noise power spectral density levels do not change with a differential chirp. Chirping allows sending a greater optical power through the sample, such that the measurement signal to noise ratio can be improved. On the other hand, the ASE characterization established its non-stationary nature and explained very well characteristic features routinely observed in dual comb beat notes that were not fully understood. Finally, assuming the ASE experiences a sub threshold linear cavity allows using theses features to estimate the non linear phase shift experienced by the modelocked pulse train in the laser cavity.

Full textAmerican literature is a constant flux. It is looking for new paths, exits and stories evoking or transgressing reality. Since the arrival of the first settlers, the influence of European authors on the future natives of this always-expanding country has never waned. As he progressively devoted himself to the discovery and exploration of the interiority of Man, the author has described the multiple evolutions which transformed both the land and the minds. Freeing oneself from commonplace ideas in order to get closer to the ultimate myth – that is, the “Great American Novel” – is a way for the writers of the New World to go down in history by taking full ownership of the language itself. Thanks to Jack London and the Beat Generation, writing has become a byword for testimony, as the language has continuously been reinvented. Freeing writing from its shackles is much more than a simple project, it is a way to liberate the novel. From illegal trips in freight cars to the glorification of a new Word, the road has kept all its promises

Full textEste trabalho constitui um estudo comparativo entre as produÃÃes literÃrias pinaculares da geraÃÃo beat americana de meados do sÃculo XX (âHowlâ de Allen Ginsberg e On the Road de Jack Kerouac) e as suas reescrituras fÃlmicas produzidas na primeira dÃcada do sÃculo XXI. Procuramos aqui trazer a diÃlogo as quatro obras e, fundamentando-nos em uma anÃlise do congresso de suas poÃticas, contribuir para o estudo de um processo que nos parece contemporaneamente inescapÃvel, a relaÃÃo entre cinema e literatura. Para tanto, a presente dissertaÃÃo consistirà do estudo das regularidades de comportamento do processo tradutor apresentadas no corpus que nos à possÃvel analisar de modo a deduzir e descrever as possÃveis normas sistÃmicas que subjazem e regulam as transposiÃÃes entre o sistema literÃrio beat e o sistema cinematogrÃfico contemporÃneo. Por outro lado, mas nÃo separadamente, na medida em que enxergamos as adaptaÃÃes como sistemas semiÃticos acabados, devemos considerar os contextos em que elas se inserem e que relaÃÃes elas desenvolvem dentro do sistema de chegada, alÃm de investigarmos possÃveis analogias com os contextos e sistemas de partida. Esperamos demonstrar que estes lados do problema se interligam se criarmos um campo tenso comum em que as obras possam dialogar, o que buscamos fazer atravÃs do estabelecimento de um princÃpio organizador, o tema comum da loucura. Nossa proposta Ã, finalmente, tentar igualar a importÃncia do produto da traduÃÃo e do elemento de partida em nossa anÃlise, transformando o campo dos estudos da traduÃÃo em algo mais prÃximo dos Estudos Comparados â de Cinema ou Literatura, como se nossos objetos fossem seres ontologicamente equiparÃveis. Pautamo-nos, para realizar esta tarefa, nos trabalhos de Walter Benjamin (2012), Mikhail Bakhtin (2010), Itamar Even-Zohar (1990), Jacques Derrida (1995), Maurice Blanchot (1987), Michel Foucault (1989), Gideon Toury (1995), Patrick Catrysse (1992), entre outros
This paper constitutes a comparative study between the pinnacle works of the American beat generation of the twentieth century (âHowlâ, by Allen Ginsberg, and On the road, by Jack Kerouac) e their filmic adaptations produced in the first decade of the twentieth first century. Our goal is to bring forth a dialogue established by these four objective elements, based on the analysis of the congress of their individual poetics, and, in light of this, to contribute to a process that appears to be contemporarily inescapable, the relations between cinema and literature. To this end, the following dissertation will consist of the study of regularities of behavior in the adaptation process presented in the corpus before us as a means of deducing and describing possible systemic norms that underlie and regulate the transpositions between the beat literary system and the contemporary cinematographic system. On the other hand, but not separately, as we understand adaptation as rounded semiotic systems, we must consider the contexts in which they are inserted and what relations they actualize within their arrival system, not only that but investigate possible analogies to the departure system, We hope to demonstrate that these different strands of the problem are intertwined and connected if we create a common filed of tension in which the art-works are able to sustain dialogue â this we endeavored to do with the stablishment of an organizing principle, the common theme of madness. Our goal is, ultimately, to try to equate the importance of the product of adaptation and its counterpart in our analysis, transforming the field of Translation Studies into something closer to Compared Studies â of Literature or Cinema, as if our objects of research were ontologically comparable entities. We base our endeavor to achieve this task in the works of Walter Benjamin (2012), Mikhail Bakhtin (2010), Itamar Even-Zohar (1990), Jacques Derrida (1995), Maurice Blanchot (1987), Michel Foucault (1989), Gideon Toury (1995), Patrick Catrysse (1992), amongst others.

Full textA milenar arte do repente é realidade por demais presente na atualidade. Não apenas sob a forma tradicional, com cantadores improvisando nas praças, feiras livres ou congressos, porém, também, com uma roupagem visivelmente moderna, ressaltada pelo movimento Mangue Beat, com a utilização do rap e do som dos tambores que, inegavelmente, contribuíram, não apenas para o repentismo, contudo para a introdução de uma nova vertente na música popular. Embora esta arte, hoje, viva um momento de transfiguração em diversas modalidades, a presença feminina1, enquanto produtora desse fenômeno, é quase desconhecida. Sabe-se da existência de no mínimo vinte mulheres atuantes nessa área e apenas cinco têm registro em fita, vinil ou compact-disc. Obviamente, não se pode admirar da quase ausência dos registros dessas artistas, dada a situação de enclasuramento vivido pela mulher durante anos, a falta de recursos, o desconhecimento das gravadoras, dentre outros. Apesar de tudo e todos, elas tentam superar os obstáculos, desafiam a ordem social que as restringe à esfera doméstica, subvertem o universo tradicionalmente masculino e seguem versando com suas métricas perfeitas que nada deixam a desejar a muito velho cantador. A intenção da presente dissertação é trazer à baila vozes femininas no repente, desde o século dezenove. No todo, estudam-se obras de algumas poetisas repentistas e tenta-se mostrar como estas tematizam a infância, o amor e o contexto social. Observam-se ainda os artifícios utilizados pelas cantadoras para tentar transgredir as leis que lhes proíbem o acesso ao mundo da cantoria. Por essa ótica, discute-se sobre a predominância masculina no universo do improviso e suas conseqüências. Assim, este estudo é um esforço de um registro plural e histórico, que no mínimo, contribuirá com a tentativa de repensar preconceitos sexistas e disseminar o fenômeno das mulheres de repente
