Six New and Recent Works for Solo Cello in Recording and Discussion
No full textABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATIONSix New and Recent Works for Solo Cello in Recording and Discussionby Ashley Melynda WaltersDoctor of Musical Arts in Contemporary Music PerformanceUniversity of California, San Diego, 2013Professor Charles Curtis, ChairThe focus of this dissertation project was on the learning, performance, and recording of six works for solo cello: Sequenza XIV by Luciano Berio, Plainsound-Litany by Wolfgang von Schweinitz, Another Secular Calvinist Creed by Andrew McIntosh, Sweet Bay Magnolia with Berry Clusters by Wadada Leo Smith, For Stephanie (on our wedding day) by Nicholas Deyoe, and another anxiety by Nicholas Deyoe. The following writing serves as a supporting document to this project, concentrating on the collaborations between the author and Schweinitz, McIntosh, Smith, and Deyoe. This paper will address the variations in the collaborative process with each composer, commenting on how the dedication of the piece to the author affected the inspiration for writing the piece and the notation, where relevant. In addition, the influence of the collaborative process on the author's interpretation of each piece will be discussed. Finally, where applicable, these aspects and their influence on the listening experience will be addressed
Compiling methods for the Fresh Breeze processor
No full textThesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2009.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references (p. 67-68).The Fresh Breeze project is designing a new parallel architecture that is designed to serve as a model for high-performance computing while maintaining good software programming principles. One of the unique aspects of this architecture is a write-once memory model with hardware-based garbage collection and a global address space. Due to this memory immutability, new designs are needed before code generation can be developed for the Fresh Breeze compiler. This paper outlines designs for arrays and the method calling protocol. These designs are analyzed with respect to running times, possible alternatives, and algorithm performance.by Curtis George Fonger, Jr.M.Eng

Conditional Complexity of Compression for Authorship Attribution
No full textWe introduce new stylometry tools based on the sliced conditional compression complexity of literary texts which are inspired by the nearly optimal application of the incomputable Kolmogorov conditional complexity (and presumably approximates it). Whereas other stylometry tools can occasionally be very close for different authors, our statistic is apparently strictly minimal for the true author, if the query and training texts are sufficiently large, compressor is sufficiently good and sampling bias is avoided (as in the poll samplings). We tune it and test its performance on attributing the Federalist papers (Madison vs. Hamilton). Our results confirm the previous attribution of Federalist papers by Mosteller and Wallace (1964) to Madison using the Naive Bayes classifier and the same attribution based on alternative classifiers such as SVM, and the second order Markov model of language. Then we apply our method for studying the attribution of the early poems from the Shakespeare Canon and the continuation of Marlowe’s poem ‘Hero and Leander’ ascribed to G. Chapman.compression complexity, authorship attribution.
