A Digital Synthesis Model of Double-Reed Wind Instruments [PDF]
We present a real-time synthesis model for double-reed wind instruments based on a nonlinear physical model. One specificity of double-reed instruments, namely, the presence of a confined air jet in the embouchure, for which a physical model has been ...

Physical Modeling of the Ancient Greek Wind Musical Instrument Aulos: A Double-Reed Exciter Linked to an Acoustic Resonator [PDF]
We present a simulation method for the auralization of the ancient Greek double-reed wind instrument Aulos. The implementation is based on Digital Signal Processing and physical modeling techniques for the instrument’s two parts: the excitation ...

Quasistatic nonlinear characteristics of double-reed instruments [PDF]
This article proposes a characterization of the double reed in quasistatic regimes. The nonlinear relation between the pressure drop, Δp, in the double reed and the volume flow crossing it, q, is measured for slow variations of these variables.

Saving Reed Lands by Giving Economic Value to Reed [PDF]
Discussions about the need for renewable energy, the need for nature conservation, the need to double the world’s food production to eliminate hunger, the need to reduce carbon dioxide emission, and the wish to reduce dependency on dwindling oil ...

Factors influencing low incidence of double brooding in the Great Reed Warbler
AbstractDouble brooding, the laying of a second clutch after successfully fledging young from a first nest in a season, is a common reproductive strategy among short-lived birds to increase annual breeding success. Nevertheless, there is widespread intra- and interspecific variation in the probability of producing a second clutch.

Re-Contemplating the Classification of Multiple Reeds
The 2011 Revision of the Hornbostel-Sachs Classification of Musical Instruments by the MIMO Consortium categorises the “reedpipes with double (or quadruple) reeds” (422.1) according to the number of pipes, bore shapes, and finger holes, as it does to ...

Cloning and characterization of a Phragmites australis phytochelatin synthase (PaPCS) and achieving Cd tolerance in tall fescue. [PDF]
The production of phytochelatins (PCs) provides an important means for plants to achieve tolerance to cadmium (Cd) toxicity. A reed gene encoding PC synthase (PaPCS) was isolated and its function tested through its heterologous expression in a strain of ...

A new classification of wind instruments: Orofacial considerations
Background/objective: Playing a wind instrument implies rhythmic jaw movements where the embouchure applies forces with different directions and intensities towards the orofacial structures.

Classification and Monitoring of Reed Belts Using Dual-Polarimetric TerraSAR-X Time Series
Synthetic aperture radar polarimetry (PolSAR) and polarimetric decomposition techniques have proven to be useful tools for wetland mapping. In this study we classify reed belts and monitor their phenological changes at a natural lake in northeastern ...
