The X_System makes the playing, writing, and learning of music – even when using unconventional tunings – more intuitive, more logical, more expressive, and better sounding. The X_System allows for: • different temperaments to be chosen at the flick of

Multilingual Music Genre Embeddings for Effective Cross-Lingual Music Item Annotation [PDF]
Annotating music items with music genres is crucial for music recommendation and information retrieval, yet challenging given that music genres are subjective concepts. Recently, in order to explicitly consider this subjectivity, the annotation of music items was modeled as a translation task: predict for a music item its music genres within a target ...

Thermodynamic Prediction of Protein Neutrality [PDF]
We present a simple theory that uses thermodynamic parameters to predict the probability that a protein retains the wildtype structure after one or more random amino acid substitutions.

Role of the plurality rule in multiple choices
People are often challenged to select one among several alternatives. This situation is present not only in decisions about complex issues, e.g., political or academic choices, but also about trivial ones, as in daily purchases at a supermarket.

Influence of Yttrium on the Thermal Stability of Ti-Al-N Thin Films [PDF]
Ti(1-x)Al(x)N coated tools are commonly used in high-speed machining, where the cutting edge of an end-mill or insert is exposed to temperatures up to 1100 degrees C.

Music-Circles: Can Music Be Represented With Numbers? [PDF]
The world today is experiencing an abundance of music like no other time, and attempts to group music into clusters have become increasingly prevalent. Common standards for grouping music were songs, artists, and genres, with artists or songs exploring similar genres of music seen as related.
