Beat deafness: développement d'un outil de dépistage et nouveaux cas.

Le terme beat deafness désigne une forme d’amusie congénitale spécifique à l’aspect temporel en musique qui a été découverte récemment par l’étude d’un cas unique (Phillips-Silver et al., 2011). L’objectif principal de ce mémoire était d’identifier de nouveaux cas. Nous avons évalué, chez 100 étudiants universitaires, les capacités à percevoir le beat à se synchroniser sur celui-ci. Les capacités de perception ont été évaluées au moyen de deux tests: un test de détection de perturbations rythmiques et un test de classification de courts extraits musicaux en marches et valses. Les capacités de synchronisation ont été évaluées au moyen d’une tâche consistant à taper du doigt sur les temps forts des mêmes marches et valses. Quatre personnes se sont démarquées du groupe par des difficultés de perception et de synchronisation, et sont dès lors considérées comme des nouveaux cas de beat deafness.

Le cri poétique : "Howl" d’Allen Ginsberg dans le contexte de la révolution Beat

Ce mémoire s’intéresse aux transformations littéraires et poétiques mises en œuvre par le mouvement de la Beat Generation au milieu du vingtième siècle en Amérique du Nord. En me penchant sur le recueil de poésie « Howl and Other Poems » du poète Allen Ginsberg, le texte emblématique de cette révolution littéraire, je montre comment le mouvement des Beats représente une transformation dans la tradition littéraire et poétique américaine, occidentale, en ce qui concerne à la fois la forme, les sujets abordés et la pratique d’écriture. Dans un premier temps, j’étudie l’histoire de ces changements en examinant la réception de « Howl », qui a bouleversé les attentes du milieu littéraire de l’époque à cause de son approche inclusive qui accueille tout dans la représentation. Mon deuxième chapitre se penche sur la vision du poète, la vision poétique. Je montre comment la perspective du poète face au monde change chez Ginsberg et les Beats. Au lieu de concevoir la transcendance, l’universel, comme quelque chose d’éloigné du particulier, comme le véhicule la tradition poétique occidentale, les Beats voient l’universel partout, dans tout. Enfin, je m’intéresse à la place du langage dans l’expression de cette nouvelle vision. J’observe comment Ginsberg et les Beats, en s’inspirant de la poésie de Walt Whitman, développent un langage spontané ne relevant plus de la maîtrise de soi.

Studies On Sediment Transport In The Surf Zone Along Certain Beaches Of Kerala

Sediment transport in the nearshore areas is an important process in deciding the coastline stability. The design and effective maintenance of navigable waterways, harbours and marine structures depend on the stability of the sediment substrate and the nature of sedimentation in the nearshore zone. The nearshore zone is a complex environment and the exact relationships existing between water motions and the resulting sediment transports are not well understood. During the rough weather season, when the sediment movement is considerable, processes occurring in the nearshore area are much less understood. Moreover, there is a general lack of field measurements, especially during the time of severe storm conditions. The increasing pressures and the concern on the preservation of the valuable coastal environment have led to the development of shore protection programmes. Conservation not only demands knowledge of what needs to be done, but also requires the basic processes to be fully understood. Considering the fragile nature of barrier beaches and intense occupancy of these areas by man, these coastal features have long been a subject of study by coastal oceanographers, geomorphologists and engineers. The present study is an attempt to understand the sediment movement in relation to beach dynamics, especially in the surf zone, along some part of Kerala coast and the response of the beaches to various forcing functions over different seasons

Content Based Video Retrieval using SURF Descriptor

This paper presents a Robust Content Based Video Retrieval (CBVR) system. This system retrieves similar videos based on a local feature descriptor called SURF (Speeded Up Robust Feature). The higher dimensionality of SURF like feature descriptors causes huge storage consumption during indexing of video information. To achieve a dimensionality reduction on the SURF feature descriptor, this system employs a stochastic dimensionality reduction method and thus provides a model data for the videos. On retrieval, the model data of the test clip is classified to its similar videos using a minimum distance classifier. The performance of this system is evaluated using two different minimum distance classifiers during the retrieval stage. The experimental analyses performed on the system shows that the system has a retrieval performance of 78%. This system also analyses the performance efficiency of the low dimensional SURF descriptor.

Automatic Image Annotation Using SURF Descriptors

In recent years there is an apparent shift in research from content based image retrieval (CBIR) to automatic image annotation in order to bridge the gap between low level features and high level semantics of images. Automatic Image Annotation (AIA) techniques facilitate extraction of high level semantic concepts from images by machine learning techniques. Many AIA techniques use feature analysis as the first step to identify the objects in the image. However, the high dimensional image features make the performance of the system worse. This paper describes and evaluates an automatic image annotation framework which uses SURF descriptors to select right number of features and right features for annotation. The proposed framework uses a hybrid approach in which k-means clustering is used in the training phase and fuzzy K-NN classification in the annotation phase. The performance of the system is evaluated using standard metrics.

El surf y el bodyboard como actividad extraescolar y complementaria en la Comunidad Aut??noma de Canarias a trav??s de la educaci??n f??sica en la ESO

Se da cuenta de la idoneidad de la pr??ctica del surf y del bodyboard como actividad extraescolar del centro para trabajar la habilidad motriz en el alumnado de Educaci??n f??sica. La motricidad, destreza que forma parte del curr??culo del ??rea, desarrolla a su vez el mecanismo perceptivo, el mecanismo de toma de decisiones y por ??ltimo el mecanismo de ejecuci??n, que depende de factores cuantitativos, que son las capacidades f??sicas, y de factores cualitativos, que son las destrezas b??sicas, como la estabilidad corporal, coordinaci??n, din??mica general y sincronizaci??n espacio-temporal. Cabe destacar que estos deportes pueden ser adaptados a distintas formas y niveles de discapacidad fomentando la escuela inclusiva en la formaci??n de personas con valores y principios que pueden transferirse a la sociedad de la que forman parte. Adem??s, el entorno de las Islas Canarias ofrece innumerables lugares para poner en pr??ctica estos deportes n??uticos.

Comments on some recent measurements of anomalously steep N2O and O3tracer spectra in the stratospheric surf zone

Recent aircraft measurements, primarily in the extratropics, of the horizontal variance of nitrous oxide (N2O) and ozone (O3) in the middle stratosphere indicate that horizontal spectra of the tracer variance scale nearly as k−2, where k is the spatial wavenumber along the aircraft flight track [Strahan and Mahlman, 1994; Bacmeister et al., 1996]. This spectral scaling has been regarded as inconsistent with the accepted picture of stratospheric tracer motion; large-scale quasi-two-dimensional tracer advection typically yields a k−1 scaling (i.e., the classical Batchelor spectrum). In this paper it is argued that the nearly k−2 scaling seen in the measurements is a natural outcome of quasi-two-dimensional filamentation of the polar vortex edge. The accepted picture of stratospheric tracer motion can thus be retained: no additional physical processes are needed to account for deviations from the Batchelor spectrum. Our argument is based on the finite lifetime of tracer filaments and on the “singularity spectrum” associated with a one-dimensional field composed of randomly spaced jumps in concentration.

"Stoked" : os valores da cultura de consumo surf e sua influência no comportamento de compra

Nos dias de hoje, o consumo deixou de ser um simples processo de compra, utilização e descarte de um produto ou serviço, com fins meramente utilitários, para ganhar um contorno mais complexo, de caráter eminentemente cultural. As categorias comumente utilizadas no estudo do Comportamento do Consumidor, por sua natureza muito ampla, não nos permitem identificar detalhadamente os fatores culturais que determinam os padrões de consumo. A presente pesquisa tem o objetivo de identificar estes fatores pelo estudo das Culturas de Consumo. Para isto, ficou definido como objeto de pesquisa a Cultura de Consumo surf no Rio Grande do Sul. A pesquisa valeu-se do método etnográfico de investigação, baseado na observação participante do fenômeno estudado por parte do pesquisador, complementado por entrevistas informais com integrantes da Cultura de Consumo. O foco do estudo recaiu sobre duas categorias de produtos: automóveis e alimentos. Identificaram-se quatro valores inerentes à Cultura de Consumo surf no Rio Grande do Sul: coragem, companheirismo, liberdade e auto-conhecimento. A pesquisa também identificou a existência de uma estrutura hierárquica informal na Cultura de Consumo, composta por grupos de haoles, locais e competidores ou profissionais.
