Full textAbstract:
WoodWinder is a machine whose job is to interpret the signal from a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) keyboard and make a recorder play accordingly. This was performed by simulating the two human traits needed in order to play the recorder: providing air flow for the mouthpiece and fingers to cover its holes. The air flow was provided by a custom made centrifugal fan and directed through a separation chamber which determined how much air was allowed to travel through the mouthpiece and how much was driven out through an exhaust. The purpose of the separation chamber was to simulate the amplitude of the played tone. The movement of the fingers was enabled by seven servo motors, mounted collaterally to the recorder. All movement was governed by two Arduino Microcontroller Units (MCU), a servo driver and a motor driver. The machine can play any note on demand without hardly any noticeable lag. The two lowest tones D and C were somewhat limited as they produced a distorted sound at high enough velocities. The largest error in accuracy for expected frequencies was around 6Hz.WoodWinder är en maskin vars jobb är att tolka signalen från ett MIDI keyboard och få en blockflöjt att spela efter. Detta utförs genom att simulera de två mänskliga egenskaperna som krävs just för att spela en blockflöjt: förmedla luftflöde till munstycket och fingrar till att täcka hålen. Luftflödet förmedlades via en specialtillverkad centrifugalfläkt och fördes genom en separationskammare som bestämde hur mycket luft som tilläts flöda in i munstycket kontra ut ur en ventil. Detta för att bäst simulera amplituden på tonen som spelades. Fingrarnas rörelse möjliggjordes av sju servomotorer, monterade längs blockflöjten och all rörelse styrdes av två Arduino-mikrokontroller, en servooch en motordrivare. Maskinen kan spela alla tänkta toner utan någon märkbar fördröjning. De två lägsta tonerna D och C blev något begränsade då de, vid högt luftflöde, producerade ett något förvrängt ljud. Det största uppmätta felet i förhållande till förväntade värden var 6Hz.

Automatický přepis hudby a odhad vícero znějících tónu jsou stále výzvou v oblasti dolování informací z hudby. Moderní systémy jsou založeny na různých technikách strojového učení pro dosažení co nejpřesnějšího přepisu hudby. Některé z nich jsou také omezeny na konkrétní hudební nástroj nebo hudební žánr, aby se snížila rozmanitost analyzovaného zvuku. V této práci je navrženo, vyhodnoceno a porovnáváno několik systémů pro konverzi nahrávek elektrické kytary do MIDI souború, založených na různých technikách strojového učení a technikách spektrální analýzy.

Full textAbstract:
A software system that automatically classifies MIDI files into hierarchically organized taxonomies of musical genres is presented. This extensible software includes an easy to use and flexible GUI. An extensive library of high-level musical features is compiled, including many original features. A novel hybrid classification system is used that makes use of hierarchical, flat and round robin classification. Both k-nearest neighbour and neural network-based classifiers are used, and feature selection and weighting are performed using genetic algorithms. A thorough review of previous research in automatic genre classification is presented, along with an overview of automatic feature selection and classification techniques. Also included is a discussion of the theoretical issues relating to musical genre, including but not limited to what mechanisms humans use to classify music by genre and how realistic genre taxonomies can be constructed.

Full textAbstract:
La sociologie des élites politiques en Midi-Pyrénées montre la permanence de tropismes notabiliaires dans la définition de l'éligibilité méridionale. Elle révèle aussi l'existence de réseaux départementaux spécifiques dans la sélection et la formation de ces membres. Ces derniers se recrutent essentiellement dans la région. Cependant, on ne peut expliquer ces phénomènes de reproduction interne d'une manière mécaniste en faisant appel soit au paradigme de l'archaïsme soit à celui de la modernité. Les termes de l'équation se sont modifiés avec le temps. En fait, la combinaison de ressources acquises ou héritées procure simplement des prédispositions, des potentialités qui demandent à être actualisées selon les circonstances. Ce travail, tout à fait particulier, n'est pas mécanique et relève plus justement d'un agencement complexe des contraintes rencontrées dans la réalité. Les élites politiques locales interviennent désormais dans des domaines divers. Dans ces derniers, les contraintes potentielles peuvent se transformer en ressources effectives et vice versa. Les conditions d'exercice du métier politique évoluent, constamment, en fonction du rythme du changement et des fractures sociales. L'analyse de l'effectivité du paradigme de l'actualisation sur trois terrains différents montre bien que la position d' "aventurier" du leader politique local est d'autant plus revendiquée que la légitimité traditionnelle, caractérisée par l'origine locale et le capital social hérité, est faible. L'ambition du local augmente d'une manière considérable et désormais, on vend du "local". Parallèlement, ce processus de responsabilisation des élites politiques locales qui va de pair avec l'explosion de leurs ambitions, ne rend pas la tache plus facile pour ces dernièresThe sociology of political elites in Midi-Pyrénées shows the permanence of notability tropisms in the definition of the southern eligibility. It also reveals that there are specific departmental networks which intervene in the selection and the training of its members. These members are mainly selected in the region. However, these facts of internal reproduction can not only be explained in a mechanistic way by referring whether to the paradigm of archaism or the paradigm of modernity. As time goes by, datas are changing. In fact, the combination of acquired or inherited resources simply bring predispositions, potentialities that need to be put up to date following circumstances. This quite particular work is not mechanic but it is more precisely a matter for a complex organization of constraints met in reality. Now, local political elites intervene in various fields. Potential constraints may turn into real resources and vice versa. The conditions of political job practice keep changing following the rhythm of change and social issues. The analysis of the functional aspect of the paradigm of actualization in three different areas shows very well that the position of "adventurer" of the local political leader is all the more claimed since the traditional legitimacy, characteristic of the local origin and the social wealth, is weak. The local ambition significantly increase and now one sells some "local". In the same way, this process of responsibilization which goes hand with their still growing ambition does not make easier their task. The ruling network gets more localized, more technical especially for the regional elites. The changes of political spaces both strengthen local leadership but also put the emphasis on territorial disparities in Midi-Pyrénées

Full textAbstract:
Real-time digital music system design often involves the translation of formal music notation or human gestures by some input device to Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) commands which are then transmitted to an electronic music synthesizer. This thesis describes the design and implementation of a microprocessor controlled input device that maps analog signals to MIDI commands and transmits them to a digital synthesizer in real time. The controller emulates a traditional acoustic folk instrument known as a hammer dulcimer.
The hammer dulcimer is the forerunner of the keyboard family of instruments and incorporates features found in percussive and keyboard instruments. As with any acoustic instrument, its tone is a composite of several partial tones. The controller, in emulation mode, generates the fundamental tone and optionally outputs the partials tones with the just noticeable difference (JND) tolerances described in psychoacoustic research. This feature allows the designer to experiment with the timbre of the fundamental tome. The controller interface succeeds in capturing the gestural movements and translating these events to MIDI commands. It also provides features such as on-demand retuning which allows the musician to play in any tonal center without changing hand positions. Selected MIDI features such as the pitch bend, program change and sustain are implemented by the controller. The prototype instrument yields a tow octave range from an eight by eight inch sensor grid. Additional grids can be added to increase the range of the instrument.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Structured audio uses a high level representation of a signal to produce audio output. When it was rst introduced in 1998, creating a structured audio representation from an audio signal was beyond the state-of-the-art. Inspired by object coding and structured audio, we present a system to reproduce audio using Expressive MIDI, high-level parameters being used to represent pitch expression from an audio signal. This allows a low bit-rate MIDI sketch of the original audio to be produced. We examine optimisation techniques which may be suitable for inferring Expressive MIDI parameters from estimated pitch trajectories, considering the e ect of data codings on the di culty of optimisation. We look at some less common Gray codes and examine their e ect on algorithm performance on standard test problems. We build an expressive MIDI system, estimating parameters from audio and synthesising output from those parameters. When the parameter estimation succeeds, we nd that the system produces note pitch trajectories which match source audio to within 10 pitch cents. We consider the quality of the system in terms of both parameter estimation and the nal output, nding that improvements to core components { audio segmentation and pitch estimation, both active research elds { would produce a better system. We examine the current state-of-the-art in pitch estimation, and nd that some estimators produce high precision estimates but are prone to harmonic errors, whilst other estimators produce fewer harmonic errors but are less precise. Inspired by this, we produce a novel pitch estimator combining the output of existing estimators.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse consiste en une étude linguistique des variétés de français parlées jusqu’à aujourd’hui par les descendants des deux communautés juives anciennement installées dans le Midi de la France : d’une part, les juifs des anciens États du Pape dans l’actuel Vaucluse, dont la présence remonte à l’Antiquité, d’autre part les Portugais de Gascogne, descendants des fugitifs des Inquisitions ibériques. Les parlers de ces deux groupes, qui ne comptent aujourd’hui que quelques dizaines d’individus chacun, parlers très mal décrits par le passé, sont décrits et étudiés à partir des documents écrits existants et d’une vaste enquête de terrain menée entre 2014 et 2019. On dresse en premier lieu une histoire linguistique des populations étudiées puis un état de la question sur les variétés de gascon et de provençal aujourd’hui éteintes et remplacées par lesdites variétés de français, à travers une présentation et une analyse des matériaux philologiques connus. La description des variétés de français se compose d’un tableau sociolinguistique de chaque variété, et d’un inventaire lexicographique et lexicologique des particularismes des deux parlers, comprenant environ 1500 formes dont chacune fait l’objet d’une étude historique, étymologique et contrastive. Vient ensuite une analyse linguistique du matériau d’après le modèle des grammaires historiques, prenant en compte entre autres la phonétique, la phonologie et la morphologie constructionnelle du lexique. On examine enfin ce que la description et l’analyse de cette matière linguistique quasi-inédite peuvent apporter à la compréhension des phénomènes linguistiques généraux que sont le contact de langues et la variation socialeThis thesis deals with the dialects spoken down to our own day by the descendants of the two historic Jewish populations established in Southern France. The more ancient of these two populations was located in Southeastern France and comprised Jews of the former Papal State of Avignon and the adjacent territories known as le Comtat Venaissin (Carpentras, Cavaillon, l’Isle-sur-Sorgue), and now as the Department of Vaucluse. The second, located in Southwestern France is of more recent vintage, having been founded in the sixteenth century by descendants of fugitives from the Iberian Inquisitions. Today neither of these two groups numbers more than a few dozen individuals and their unique varieties of French, hitherto almost unstudied, are teetering on the verge of extinction. We describe and study these dialects based upon all extant written documents and the results of an ongoing in loco investigation. The thesis opens with a linguistic history of the populations and a critical status questionis concerning the varieties of Gascon and Provençal, which have now died out and been replaced by the above-mentioned French varieties. Their description, then, takes on the form of a lexicographic and lexicological inventory of the two varieties’ differential vocabulary (c. 1500 units), in which each form or word is the subject of an etymological and historical study. The description is followed by a linguistic analysis of the material, taking into account inter alia the phonetics, the phonology and the constructional morphology of it. We examine then the potential impact of the study of this almost neglected linguistic material towards the general understanding of language contact and diastratic variation

Full textAbstract:
En vingt ans, la "conquête du milieu rural" par les grandes surfaces et la réorganisation des appareils commerciaux, parallèlement à l'évolution des modes de vie et notamment l'accroissement des mobilités, ont profondément influencé les dynamiques territoriales. Les systèmes d'acteurs entourant la grande distribution, composés notamment des grandes surfaces, des petits commerces, des producteurs,des habitants-consommateurs et des pouvoirs publics, participent à un mouvement de décompositon-recomposition des territoires ruraux. Ils contribuent à la réorganisation de l'espace, impulsée par exemple par la concentration des pôles commerciaux et l'évolution des pratiques spatiales des habitants. Ils produisent de nouvelles articulations d'échelles, du niveau local jusqu'au niveau international. Ils contribuent au remodelage des espaces de vie, par exemple dans les rapports entre le rural et l'urbain. Ils participent enfin à la recomposition des liens sociaux et économiques fondant la cohésion territoriale. L'analyse des systèmes d'acteurs entourant la grande distribution est opérée dans différentes zones rurales de la région Midi-Pyrénées à travers une combinaison de plusieurs types d'études : monographies régionales, monographies spatiales de distributeurs, enquêtes auprès des habitants, estimation des aires de chalandise de grandes surfaces,. . . Cette analyse des systèmes d'acteurs répond ici au double objectif de mieux cerner les dynamiques territoriales et d'apporter une contribution aux débats actuels concernant les relations grande distribution-aménagement du territoire.

La television regionale francaise de service public, nee de l'ortf et assimilee des 1974 a la troisieme chaine (fr3 puis france 3) a longtemps symbolise la soumission au pouvoir politique. Au-dela de ce lieu commun, quel fut reellement le role politique devolu a cette television ? pour repondre a cette question, notre analyse s'appuie a la fois sur l'histoire generale de la television regionale et sur le cas d'une station, france 3 sud, par l'etude exhaustive de l'information politique diffusee en midi-pyrenees de 1963 a 1995 (7380 reportages). Le role politique de la television regionale depuis sa creation a ete etabli en trois temps. La reconstitution de l'histoire de la television regionale a d'abord permis de caracteriser le role essentiel et complexe joue dans son organisation par lechamp politique (gouvernement et pouvoirs locaux), ainsi que de prendre la mesure des difficiles mutations de cette institution d'etat. L'etude du dispositif du journal televise regional, programme cle de la television regionale (moyens, audience), a ensuite revele les espaces politiques auxquels l'information politique elaboree par la station midi-pyreneenne se refere preferentiellement : declin, maintien ou emergence des territoires dans l'information regionale sont ainsi apparus, de meme que les permanences de l'echelon national. Enfin, l'analyse systematique des reportages du journal televise regional a mis en evidence la maniere dont celui-ci reconstruit le jeu politique, afin de le rendre visible et comprehensible par tous : mediatisation de la competition politique privilegiant lesenjeux nationaux, production d'evenements politiques de routine et oligarchies politiques invitees a s'y exprimer denotent le caractere officiel de cette tribune. En definitive, la television regionale semble toujours avoir un role politique fort (bien que modifie) dont le dessein originel d'integration nationale reste saillant, donnant au modele francais de television regionale sa specificite.

The Rhodes Computer Music Network (RHOCMN) is a network which allows main studio resources to be shared. RHOCMN is growing into a multi-workstation environment and additional devices are being incorporated into the system. A star configuration is used for transmitting MIDI from a MIDI patch bay to the workstations and MIDI devices. This imposes several disadvantages on the use of the studio, such as wiring problems. In a quest to avoid problems related to MIDI in RHOCMN, the MIDINet system was developed. The idea was to acquire a viable solution to MIDI's main problems which does not involve a redefinition of the MIDI specification.

La présente recherche, en prenant le cas des villes moyennes de la région Midi-Pyrénées, s’attache à décrire les mécanismes de construction et de production des politiques locales de sécurité. En combinant les approches systémique et stratégique, cette recherche apporte des éléments de compréhension sur les références et représentations qui guident la mise en place de telles politiques locales. Le recours à des cas concrets, pour illustrer les différentes étapes de ce processus de construction, donne à connaître des différentes manières dont les acteurs des systèmes locaux d’action publique de sécurité s’approprient les concepts, les outils et les méthodes définis à l’échelon national, voire international. L’aller retour systématique entre constats de terrain et éléments théoriques permet de décéler certaines attitudes propres aux différents acteurs concernés, et quelques mythes qui peuvent traverser les systèmes locaux. L’approche fondée, privilégiée pour cette recherche, permet aussi de formaliser plusieurs typologies d’acteurs, mais aussi de connaître des différentes dimensions qui entrent en jeu dans la composition des systèmes locaux sur cette thématique. Les constats de terrains ont aussi donné l’occasion de recenser certains obstacles à la réalisation de ces politiques locales, mais aussi des tentatives et moyens mobilisés par certains membres des systèmes locaux pour les dépasserThe present research, by taking the case of the mid-sized cities of the region Midi-Pyrénées (France), attempts to describe the mechanisms of construction and production of local security policies. By combining the systemic and strategic approaches, this research brings elements of understanding about the references and the representations which drive the implementation of such local policies. Concrete cases illustrate the various stages of this process of construction, gives to know about various manners the actors of the local systems of public action of security understand and use the concepts, tools and methods defined in the national, even international level. The systematic round trip between reports of ground and theoretical elements allows revealing some attitudes developed by the concerned actors, and some myths which go through local systems. The grounded approach, also allows to formalize several typologies of actors, but also to know various dimensions which come in the composition of the local systems. The ground reports also gave the occasion to list certain obstacles to the realization of these local policies, but also the attempts and the means mobilized by certain members of the local systems to overcome

Full textAbstract:
A powerful and efficient algorithm has been designed to deal with the critical timing problem of the MIDI messages. This algorithm can convert note events stored in a natural way to MIDI messages dynamically. Only limited memory space (the buffer) is required to finish the conversion work, and the size of the buffer is independent of the size of the original sequence (notes). This algorithm's real-time variable properties suggest not only the flexible real-time controls in the use of musical aspects, but also the expandability to interactive multi-media applications. A compositional environment called MusicSculptor has been implemented in terms of this algorithm.

Full textAbstract:
MIMICS is an acronym for Multitouch Interface as a MIDI Control Suite. Multitouch interfaces are well known for their softer learning curve compared with classical computer graphic interfaces. Therefore, its application in music interfaces may solve some of the actual limitations of hardwarebased and software-based devices. The multitouch solution is based on an optical effect called Frustrated Total Internal Reflection which is forced by using infrared light sources. This effect allows finger tracking using computer vision engines. In the thesis we describe a low-cost and affordable Hardware/Software solution for MIDI-based devices control from a functional multitouch environment. The MIMICS is presented to the user as a rear projected 30 inches screen containing a graphical interface adapted for multitouch. Implementation of several ‘ready-to-play’ applications is demonstrated that emulate classical and new MIDI control devices. The report also contains an evaluation of the results demonstrating that MIMICS is suitable for life-oriented music performances as well as for recording studio works.

"MIDI Gesamtkunstwerk and a Schema for Creative Design" formulates a model for creative thought and examines its impact when applied to the making of art. Use of the Schema as a system of design has propelled my work from sculpture to multimedia performance, specifically under computer control. :MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is proposed as a solution to multimedia performance as Gesamtkunstwerk, with examples from my own experience and research. The Schema for Creative Design derives from and cross-pollinates three systems: I) William Glasser's theories of perception; 2) semiotic theory as formulated by Umberto Eco and others; and 3) Lowry Burgess' "Tools for Thought." The model makes conscious use of subconscious processes to exploit them in stimulating expanded and unique creative thought. The use of MIDI to create a unique interaction between media is postulated as modem "Gesamtkunstwerk." Gesamtkunstwerk is a term associated with composer Richard Wagner's music-dramas of the 19th century. It characterized not only a performance mode, but also a philosophical orientation. This thesis considers a contemporary version of this philosophy as influenced by the changes in available media and methods of interaction. Because MIDI can interface physical objects, electronics, lighting, sound and special effects into a single score, composition and orchestration elements can be conveniently recorded, replayed, rehearsed and refmed. The data from a MIDI light board, MIDI mix board, and MIDI synthesizer are interchangeable. The artist has immediate access to sound, light, and video image. Specific intermedia control is a unique development which allows exact timing to program convincing intermedia gesture. Computer-control over the various media enables the artist to perfect performance similar to the way film is edited for maximum effect, and brings the ideal Gesamtkunstwerk - all the artforms working together toward a common expression - closer to realization. A MIDI Gesamtkunstwerk was attempted in the performance the "midicube." The MIDI-ized media performers are members of the evolving "MIDI Robot Orchestra," hybrid objects developed from preexisting items, such as toys and tools, that usually produce sounds. The sounds are underscored by hybrid digital samples. The Macintosh computer records and plays back the code to form a precise musical ensemble. MIDI Gesamtkunstwerk considers practical aspects of scored multimedia performance, proposes a computer-controlled intermedia studio and discusses the advantages and limitations of a MIDI modified system. Concepts of deconstructed forms, reconstruction via permutation and the conflicted tension of the hybrid object also figure into the realization of MIDI Gesamtkunstwerk.

L'ecart entre toulouse et son espace peripherique regional s'accentue : d'abord parce que les processus lies a l'expansion des technopoles sont economiquement et geographiquement discriminants et, ensuite parce que l'espace peripherique regional atteint le terme d'une evolution : depopulation, exode rural, vieillissement et effondrement des densites se perennissent progressivement. Toutefois, rendre la commune de toulouse responsable de la desertification de midi pyrenees est une hypothese si frequement admise qu'elle est devenue un lieu commun. Une nouvelle problematique se fait jour : la metropolisation d'un territoire, en l'occurence celui de midi-pyrenees, n'exprime t'elle pas un glissement des disparites inter-regionales vers le niveau infra-regional. Dans un premier temps, l'etablissement d'un panorama historique des structures socio-economiques de la region permettra d'analyser les differentes etapes de la croissance de toulouse face a son environnement regioinal. Face aux disparites constatees, un deuxieme niveau d'analyse appreciera le role des politiques publiques enmatiere de correction de ce desequilibre. En effet, depuis une trentaine d'annees des politiques, initiees par l'etat, ont ete mises en place pour tenter d'apporter une reponse aux problemes poses par les disparites territoriales. Avec la decentralisation, on assiste au passage d'un etat tutelaire a un etat associe ; la region forte de sa nouvelle composition institutionnelle met en place des procedures d'aide au developpement local.

Full textAbstract:
Notre objectif est de comprendre comment et pourquoi s'exacerbe la xénophobie, c'est-à-dire l'hostilité aux étrangers, entre 1880 et 1914, dans le Midi viticole - un phénomène déjà observé ailleurs en France. Le « Midi viticole » désigne une région, entre Rhône et Pyrénées, marquée par l'expansion d'une monoculture viticole intensive au cours de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle. Bien que l'immigration y soit relativement faible, une cinquantaine d'actes xénophobes dirigés contre des ouvriers italiens et espagnols se produisent entre 1880 et 1914. Adoptant la démarche de la socio-histoire, nous avons analysé comment se met en place une logique nationale à deux niveaux, dans les dicours publics et dans l'action administrative. Le tournant des années 80 est significatif : au moment où l'État-nation républicain étend son emprise et où la crise s'aggrave, de nouveaux acteurs locaux de l'espace public, en particulier la presse populaire radicale régionale, politisent le « problème » des étrangers. L'administration locale prend les premières mesures sécuritaires ciblant les non nationaux et soutient la protection du travail national. Ces évolutions s'accentuent dans les années 1890, contribuant à étendre la xénophobie parmi des ouvriers sans qualification ou qualifiés, déracinés ou établis, en milieu rural ou urbain, qui s'en prennent aux immigrants pour manifester leur mécontentement et être entendus. Mais en 1904, la multiplication des grèves communes d'ouvriers agricoles nationaux et étrangers modifie leurs relations, même si ces grèves sont contrecarrées par un mouvement de défense du « Midi viticole ». Mouvements xénophobes et solidaires coexistent désormaisOur aim is to understand how and why xenophobia, that is to say hostility to foreigners, increase between 1880 and 1914 in the "wine south" - a phenomena already observed elsewhere in France. The "wine south" refers to a region between Rhône and Pyrénées, wich has been characterized by the growth of intensive wine culture during the second part of the nineteeth century. Although immigrants are not numerous in this region, compared with other parts of France, we have noted arounf fifteen xenophobic demonstrations and violences against Italian and Spanish workers between 1880 and 1914. Using a sociohistorical approach, we have studied the increasing weight of the national logic in structuring both public speech and state action. The 1880's mark a turning point : whilst the nation-state becomes stronger and the economic crisis is worsening, new local protagonists in the public sphere, especially radical and popular regional newspapers, politicize issue of the foreigners. The local administration adopts the first safety measures targeting foreigners and supports national work's protection. All this is reinforced during the 1890's, wich explains the growing xenophobia among workers, whether skilled or unskilled workers, uprooted or established, in rural or urban areas, who attack immigrant to show their anger and to be listened. But in 1904, the spread of strikes uniting both national and foreign farm workers changes their relations, even if those strikes are thwarted by a movement of defence of the "wine South". Two movements now exist at the same time : a xenophobic movement and a worker solidarity movement

Mestrado em Engenharia Electrónica e TelecomunicaçõesA indústria musical cresceu consideravelmente nos últimos anos originando uma forte procura de novas tecnologias que potenciem a flexibilidade dos espectáculos. Dado que o protocolo MIDI está fortemente implementado em instrumentos musicais, é necessário desenvolver soluções que permitam usufruir de flexibilidade na sua utilização. Esta dissertação procura endereçar esta problemática, recorrendo ao uso de tecnologias de transmissão sem fios. Em particular, é considerada a tecnologia Bluetooth para mapear as ligações MIDI tradicionais em ligações sem fios. Neste sentido, são propostas várias abordagens e destas são obtidos resultados indicando que a tecnologia Bluetooth pode ser uma boa opção no suporte de ligações MIDI sem recurso a fios.
During the past few years, the musical industry has grown considerably and has become more demanding in what concerns the use of technologies supporting flexibility in musical performances. Provided that MIDI is strongly implemented in the musical industry, it is required to develop solutions allowing flexibility usefulness. In the scope of this dissertation, an assessment of wireless technologies is performed. Particularly, Bluetooth is considered in the mapping of traditional wired MIDI connection in wireless MIDI links. In this sense, several approaches are proposed and results obtained, indicating that the Bluetooth technology may be suitable to support the wireless connection of MIDI devices.

La recherche interroge les pratiques évaluatives des responsables de structure socioéducative dans un double objectif. Le premier vise le recensement et la caractérisation des pratiques évaluatives, le second cherche à mettre en évidence le rôle professionnalisant joué par les pratiques d'évaluation contextualisées. L'enquête empirique, réalisée auprès de responsables de structure socioéducative en Midi-Pyrénées, s'inscrit dans une approche qualitative de recueil et d'analyse des données de recherche. Dans cette perspective, nous mobilisons principalement le recueil de données au moyen de l'entretien de recherche. Les données recueillis sont analysées, au moyen de plusieurs méthodologies combinées d'analyse de discours. Les résultats met en lumière l'effet professionnalisant des pratiques contextualisées et plus particulièrement celles qui se référent aux trois niveaux sociologiques pertinents de la responsabilité socioéducativeThe research asks the question of the assessment practices of managers for social educational structure in a double purpose. The first is the identification and characterization of assessment practices, the second seeks to highlight the role played by the assessment practices contextualized in the professionalization process. The empirical inquiries, conducted among managers for social educational structure in Midi-Pyrenées, come within the framework of qualitative approach for collection and data analysis. In this perspective, we mobilize mainly the research interviews. The data are analyzed using several methodologies combined of speech analysis. The results highlight the professionalization process introducing by the assessment practices contextualized and more particularly those which are made in reference on the three relevant sociological levels of the social educational responsibility

Full textAbstract:
Alors que les agriculteurs sont de moins en moins nombreux, les campagnes francaises sont chaque jour davantage habitees et frequentees par des gens sans lien particulier avec la terre. Au coeur de cette evolution, de nombreux conflits prennent corps autour de l'appropriation et de la gestion de l'acces et de l'usage des richesses collectives patrimoniales que sont l'espace, l'environnement naturel et architectural, et les traditions. Afin d'en comprendre les raisons, il est propose d'observer la vie de trois villages a partir des choix de vie de leurs habitants et des relations qu'ils entretiennent. L'analyse microsociologique des reseaux de sociabilite et des strategies developpees par les ruraux permet de saisir qu'en l'absence de democratie participative, impliquant concertations et negociations, seule facon durable de creer du lien social, chacun cherche a imposer sa vision de l'avenir. Mais personne n'entretient les memes relations de sorte qu'aucun individu occupe une position sociale et politique analogue pour atteindre ses objectifs. Faute d'interconnaissance et de confiance suffisante entre les gens, les municipalites privilegient des formes de regulations formelles car elles percoivent toutes nouvelles demandes comme autant de contestation de l'ordre etabli. La capacite des gens a mobiliser les autres autour de leur projet devient alors determinante pour faire reconnaitre le bien fonde de leurs revendications. L'origine des conflits ruraux decoule de la diversite culturelle des gens et de leurs differentes aspirations a vivre a la campagne. Ces situations de tension doivent alors etre comprises comme la recherche d'un nouvel equilibre entre les hommes, processus par lequel la ruralite est chaque jour reinventee.

Oberst, Sally. "Variation of Viséan strata across the Midi thrust, Belgium." Thesis, Durham University, 1986. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/6809/.
Full textAbstract:
The Viséan strata of southern Belgium, between Namur, Aachen, Comblain-au-Pont and Dinant, record the deposition of shallow water carbonates along the southern margin of the Brabant Massif. Three areas of Dinantian outcrop: the Namur, Dinant and Vesdre regions were separated by folding and faulting associated with the Hercynian orogeny, particularly the Midi Thrust. The Viséan series comprises three stages of which the Livian has been the basis for this study. The Viséan sediments comprise numerous cycles 2-20m thick which are interpreted as being dominated by shallowing upwards sedimentary sequences. Petrographic study of the nine carbonate lithofacies has revealed three microfacies associations which are broadly described as bioclastic (microfacies association 1), microbial-algal (microfacies association 2) and micritic-peloidal (microfacies association 3). These microfacies associations occur in the same order in each cycle, although their component microfacies may not. Although there are signs of subaerial exposure at the top of cycles, well developed subaerial exposure horizons are rare. Calcrete formation is limited to zone or subzone boundaries and is well developed close to the Brabant Massif. The palaeo environment is interpreted as a warm, shallow water, carbonate platform, which dipped gently southward, from tidal flats in the north. Early diagenesis of these sediments was facies specific and commonly occurred under marine phreatic conditions. Early meteoric diagenesis is only patchily developed. Later effects of burial diagenesis are common to all sediments. Although close to areas of Hercynian earth movements, there are no signs of synsedimentary tectonics in the Livian sediments. Later movement was restricted to open folding, faulting and thrusting. Bentonite layers are the only evidence of local volcanism. They increase in thickness and abundance towards the east and this is presumed to be the direction of their source area. Only slight lateral variation in sedimentation suggests that there was minimal separation between the Namur region and Vesdre-North Dinant region at the time of deposition. The sedimentological observations presented here, provide limiting conditions for palaeogeographical reconstruction and tectonic controls. Crustal shortening and decollement by northward thrusting was the main form of earth movement. The effect of movement along the Midi Thrust was to juxtapose predominantly submarine sediments from below fair weather wave base (Dinant region) and nearshore peritidal deposits (Namur-Vesdre region). Since the original width of the platform is unknown, the amount of displacement along the thrust is uncertain. A minimum of about 20 km displacement along the thrust is believed to have affected the Dinantian sediments.

Comment reagit une petite ville du midi de la france face a la guerre 1939-1945. La ville est d'abord analysee sous ses aspects politique, economique, social, culturel, durant l'entre-deux-guerres. Une premiere partie (17 juin 1940-21 juin 1941) analyse l'implantation du regime de de vichy, l'economie, le ravitaillement, les premieres resistances et l'evolution de l'opinion. Une deuxieme partie (22 juin 1941-11 novembre 1942) evoque l'echec de la revolution nationale, les difficultes de la vie quotidienne, la mutation de l'opinion et l'affirmation de la resistance. Une troisieme partie (12 novembre 1942- ete 1943) analyse l'occupation allemande, l'allure de plus en plus repressive de vichy (milice, legion des volontaires francais contre le bolchevisme, le service du travail obligatoire, la repression), le ravitaille- ment et une resistance qui elargit son recrutement. Une quatrieme partie (ete 1943- 21 aout 1944) evoque les difficultes accrues de la population (collaboration, occupation allemande, ravitaillement) et l'evolution de l'opinion et de la resistance, la liberation et le depart des allemands. Une cinquieme partie (21 aout 1944- 8 mai 1945) analyse la mise en place des nouveaux pouvoirs (comite de liberation, delegation speciale, police), le ravitaille- ment, les loisirs, les rapports avec les soldats americains, l'epuration, la vie politique et les elections municipales d'avril-mai 1945. Une conclusion elargie essaie de cerner la specificite de martigues a propos des themes evoques ci-dessusHow does a little town in the south of france react facing the world war 1939-1945. First of all, we "ii study the political, economical, social and cultural points of view, during the period between the two world wars. The first part (june 17 th 1940- june 21 st 1941) analyses the settlement of vichy's form of governement, the economy, the provisioning, the first resistance movment and the evolution of opinion. The second part (from june 22nd 1941 to november 11th 1942) evokes the failure of national revolution, the daily life difficulties, the mutation of opinion and the statement of the resistance. The third part (november 12th, 1942 - summer 1943) analyses the german's occupation, the increasing repression of vichy's government (militia, legion of french volunters against bolchevism, compulsory work service), the provisioning and a resistance which enlists more and more supporters. The fourth part (summer 1943- august 23nd 1944) describes the population's difficulties getting more and more important (collaboration, occupation, provisioning, etc. ), opinion, the united resistance and the liberation. The fifth part (august 21st 1944 - may 8th 1945) analyses the establishment of new powers (liberation commitee, special delegation, police), improvisioning, sparetime activities, relations with americain soldiers, elimination of collaborationists, politics and finally the municipal election of april-may 1945.

La musica e i metodi attraverso i quali essa viene creata, condivisa e riprodotta hanno sempre avuto importanza per le persone. Nonostante esistano una moltitudine di servizi che permettono lo streaming di prodotti finiti, al giorno d'oggi risulta particolarmente difficile riuscire a suonare e creare brani musicali a distanza, in tempo reale. Non vi è alcun servizio che permetta una gestione semplice e funzionante di tale processo. L'obiettivo della ricerca e del progetto qui presentati è quello di fornire un modo intuitivo in cui un qualsiasi utente provvisto di strumento musicale MIDI e di dispositivi ormai largamente diffusi, come uno smartphone o un tablet, possa effettuare una "Jam Session", cioè una sessione in cui suonare in tempo reale insieme ad altre persone collegate in remoto. I concetti che vengono affrontati sono legati al mondo dell'Internet of Things e della Networked Music Performance. Questa ricerca può portare grandi benefici al processo creativo di brani musicali, alle esibizioni "dal vivo" e alla didattica musicale.
Assieme al progetto, viene descritta una implementazione e uno studio di fattibilità. Si vedrà come il sistema proposto possa essere a tutti gli effetti utilizzato ed eventualmente ampliato in futuro.

Full textAbstract:
Cette these explore en profondeur le monde des foires et des marches dans le midi toulousain entre 1750 et 1914, mettant en lumiere leur organisation institutionnelle et la stabilite du reseau dans le temps ainsi que l'explosion du nombre de foires apres 1870. Elle detaille leur role economique qui ne se limite pas aux echanges de denrees agricoles, mais qui implique aussi une grande variete de services. La place marchande est egalement un lieu de conflit; le probleme des subsistances surgit regulierement jusqu'au second empire et l'ideologie liberale se heurte a de fortes resistances lors des crises economiques. Lentement, neanmoins, l'etat se retire du commerce des grains, le laissant aux seuls acteurs sur le terrain. Les conditions d'acces au marche posent parfois probleme a cause d'une fiscalite contestee ou de changements imposes de l'exterieur tel que le calendrier revolutionaire. Des la seconde republique, la place devient un lieu d'expression politique, un passage oblige des candidats aux elections. La sociabilite des foires et marches est intense; les retrouvailles sont favorisees, le spectacle est partout, la violence est sous-jacente. Se rendre a la foire, c'est prendre des risques; c'est pourquoi il faut etre fort et ruse. Loin de disparaitre au 19e siecle, les marches, et surtout les foires aux bestiaux, continuent a attirer des foules considerables. A partir d'un depouillement de documents administratifs, economiques et judiciaires des plusieurs fonds d'archives departementales, cette these veut demontrer l'importance des foires et marches dans la region toulousaine avant 1914. Un important dossier de cartes et de graphiques illustre et appuie l'argumentation du texteThis thesis explores the world of fairs and markets around toulouse between 1750 and 1914. Their institutional organization is studied; the stability of the regional network is advanced as is the explosion of the number of fairs after 1870. Their economic role was not limited to the marketing of agricultural production; the service sector was well represented. Conflict was not absent from the market place; problems relating to food supplies were frequent until the second empire; liberal ideology met with heavy resistance before slowly imposing its limited view of government action in the grain trade. Access to the market sometimes caused trouble as market dues were disputed or as changes were forced upon local populations as with the revolutionary calendar. With the second republic, the market place became an arena for political expression; candidates for elections had to meet voters there. The social life of fairs was intense; people met there, entertainment was everywhere, violence was never very far away. Going to the fair could be dangerous; one had to be strong and wily. Far from disappearing during the 19th century, markets, and especially livestock fairs, continued to attract large crowds and to be important economic and social events

Full textAbstract:
La révolution industrielle provoque l'arrivée massive et continue des femmes dans les usines et les ateliers. Même dans les régions plus faiblement industrialisées, telles que Midi-Pyrénées, le travail féminin se répand et concerne de multiples secteurs d'activités. Hélas, comme partout ailleurs, il s'exécute dans des conditions d'hygiène et de sécurité déplorables, au point que la santé des femmes est bientôt menacée. Dès la fin du XIXe siècle, le législateur se décide donc à intervenir afin de protéger les salariées, en aménageant leur temps de travail et en édictant diverses mesures d'ordre sanitaire. Cependant, l'évolution de la condition des femmes au travail se heurte à de nombreux obstacles en pratique, parfois inattendus. L'Etat, partage entre des intérêts contradictoires, répugne en réalité à organiser une véritable protection, si bien que ce droit se révèle très défavorable aux intéressées. Le petit patronat, majoritaire en Midi-Pyrénées, et souvent soutenu par la justice, les autorités locales et l'inspection du travail, oppose également une vive résistance à l'application des lois. Quant aux femmes, quasiment absentes des syndicats qui leur font d'ailleurs peu de place, et assez passives, elles militent peu en faveur de l'amélioration de leur sort. Il en résulte qu'à la veille de la seconde Guerre mondiale, au terme de quatre-vingt ans d'évolution, la condition sanitaire des femmes au travail demeure particulièrement désastreuse dans cette région, pourtant à l'écart des grands centres industrielsIndustrial revolution drives many women at work. Even in regions less industrialized like Midi-Pyrénées, women's work becomes very important and concerns many different factories unfortunately, as in the other places, women's working conditions are very bad and unhealthy. That is why, at the end of the XIXth century, parliament decides to protect women's health at work. Many different laws try to reduce working time and to improve the working conditions. But, in reality, the evolution of women's working conditions has to face lots of problems. The French state hesitates in fact to organize a real protection. Little bosses, judges, and local authorities are against this protection too. Women themselves don't fight in order to improve their situation. Therefore, before the Second World War, and after ninety years, women's health at work is still very bad in this region which is not a big industrial centre

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed to develop a real time multiple fundamental frequency detection algorithm for real time pitch to MIDI conversion applications. The algorithm described here uses neural network classifiers to make classifications in order to define a chord pattern (combination of multiple fundamental frequencies). The first classification uses a binary decision tree that determines the root note (first note) in a combination of notes; this is achieved through a neural network binary classifier. For each leaf of the binary tree, each classifier determines the frequency group of the root note (low or high frequency) until only two frequencies are left to choose from. The second classifier determines the amount of polyphony, or number of notes played. This classifier is designed in the same fashion as the first, using a binary tree made up of neural network classifiers. The third classifier classifies the chord pattern that has been played. The chord classifier is chosen based on the root note and amount of polyphony, the first two classifiers constrain the third classifier to chords containing only a specific root not and a set polyphony. This allows for the classifier to be more focused and of a higher accuracy. To further increase accuracy, an error correction scheme was devised based on repetitive coding, a technique that holds out multiple frames and compares them in order to detect and correct errors. Repetitive coding significantly increases the classifiers accuracy; it was found that holding out three frames was suitable for real-time operation in terms of throughput, though holding out more frames further increases accuracy it was not suitable real time operation. The algorithm was tested on a common embedded platform, which through benchmarking showed the algorithm was well suited for real time operation.

Full textAbstract:
Un projet régional de développement de la lutte intégrée en arboriculture est analysé pour éclairer la problématique de la diffusion des techniques alternatives aux modèles intensifs. Celle-ci est confrontée à une exigence d'adaptation à des milieux diversifiés et aux contraintes d'adoption des milieux sociaux utilisateurs. La stratégie de protection mobilise une ressource identifiée localement : un auxiliaire de la famille des phytoseiidés, prédateur des acariens ravageurs. Ce choix d'une espèce peu référencée résout le problème phytosanitaire qui a justifié le changement de système de protection, mais avec des contraintes de surveillance liées à son intervention tardive sur le ravageur. La réduction de celles-ci est l'objet d'une étude de l'impact des itinéraires techniques recommandés, sur la dynamique du milieu verger. L'espèce choisie pourrait avoir une intervention préventive en associant d'autres choix de gestion aux ajustements de produits. L'objectif de diffusion de masse apparaît contradictoire avec une présentation de la complexité. Il conduit à établir un consensus entre les acteurs du réseau adaptateur, sur une stratégie unitaire permettant de rassembler les stratégies commerciales dans la filière. L'autonomie des producteurs est limitée par une estimation des contraintes sous un seul point de vue, fondé sur la valorisation du produit. L'analyse de la diversité des pratiques et des attentes des agriculteurs, explique qu'un même mode d'évaluation entre ressources et contraintes ne répond pas à la diversité des modalités d'appropriation et des représentations du métier, et qu'il conduit à une sous valorisation de la dynamique des milieux. Cette interprétation de la difficulté d'articulation entre logiques des filières, et logique transversale de l'adaptation, est confirmée par une analyse d'expériences dans d'autres domaines. La prise d'autonomie des agriculteurs est un des éléments moteurs du changement, et celle-ci passe par leur participation à l'évaluation des leviers mobilisables dans les choix de gestion, qui ne se pose pas dans les mêmes termes pour tous. Ceci permet d'ouvrir le champ de l'adaptation et de mieux couvrir celui d'une démarche de précautionThis is the analysis of a regional project for the development of integrated fruit production pest control in order to explain the problems of circulating alternative techniques to the intensive models. Introducing the impact of the resource, a phytoseid predatory mite which is the pest control mainstay, is the means to consider the technical strategy from a double point of view. First, as a protection strategy which mobilizes a selection of identified resources in the orchard field, implying constraints that should be seen as a means of improvement (the intervention of the phytoseid predatory mite), and secondly, as a distribution strategy that mobilizes the levers of change in order to bring about the adoption of the new technical logic. The margins of progress for technical adaptation are evaluated by using pest control against the proliferation of acarids as an indicator. The choice of the resource-species is validated by research, but control improvement can rely on various ecological levers of the orchard universe dynamics, whereas these are taken into account as dissociated elements in the technical representation. The object of circulating technique, and having it taken inti account as a strategy for the network, induces one to simplify the message circulated. This is one with the object of making it easier for producers to have access to it, but also to obtain an agreement on a unified strategy on the part of the operators of regional production organizations. The fact that farmers' various practices and needs have been taken into consideration, explains why an identical system of evaluation between resources and constraints does not meet the diversity of appropriation modes, which are links up with the concepts of the profession, and leads to under valuation of the dynamics of different environments. The interpretation showing the difficulty there is an articulating between vertical approaches by product groups and transversal approaches of distribution and precautions is confirmed by the analysis of experiences made in other fields. Analysis of the levers of change on the part of orchard growers shows that they need to make their own evaluation of the levers that con be mobilized in order to become autonomous

This research investigates the design and development of a Wireless MIDI Connection Management solution in order to create a deterministic MIDI transmission system. A investigation of the MIDI protocol show it to have certain limitation that can be overcome through the use of transmission solutions. These solutions can be used to improve on the versatility of MIDI while overcoming the MIDI's notorious cable length limitation. XMOS's deterministic XS1 microcontrollers are used to enable the design of a real-time system. The MIDINet system is investigated to identify both the strengths and weaknesses of such a connection management system, while other systems for network transmission of MIDI messages are reviewed. These investigations lead to a design concept for a new network MIDI transmission system that allows for the remote management of connections. The design and subsequent implementation of both the transmission system and the connection management system are then detailed. A testing methodology is then devised to allow for the newly created connection management system to be compared to the MIDINet system. The findings show the deterministic system to have lower latency than that of the MIDINet system, while utilising more compact and power efficient hardware.
