    Musico: personal playlists through peripheral and implicit interaction

    No full text
    While listening to music has been a part of everyday life for ages, access to unlimited numbers of songs has never been as ubiquitous as it has become with the introduction of streaming services and mobile Internet access. However, creating and updating playlists suitable for different everyday contexts is a tedious activity, which can lead to a decrease in music listening experience. This paper presents the design of Musico, a tangible music player which combines peripheral and implicit interaction. The user's input of skipping and repeating songs is to feed a learning algorithm which autonomously generates and updates personalized playlists based on individual's preferences while requiring minimal effort from the user. Additionally, different playlists are to be generated for different everyday contexts (such as having dinner or studying). As such, Musico aims to merge peripheral (tangible) user input and system intelligence to optimize user experience

    A slow control and monitoring concentrator board for BaBar experiment at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center

    The crate service card (CSC), has been designed and built to complete the readout of the instrumented flux return (IFR) of the BABAR experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). The CSC, which is physically part of the on-detector electronics, implements the slow control interface between the front end cards (FECs) and the IFR on-line detector control system (IODC). It broadcasts the 59.5 MHz clock and data settings information to 16 configurable FEC boards through individual asynchronous RS232 serial lines at a rate of 115200 baud, performs initialization and readout with the DCS via an optic isolated controller area network (CAN) serial port. All the RS232 serial line logic is implemented in one fast FPGA device, while one microcontroller is devoted to the CAN bus protocol. This paper addresses the architecture and the performance of the CSC, an overview of the IFR electronics system is also presented

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
