World War I record of service survey for Clarence R. Andrew, signed 29 September 1922
No full textQuestionnaire about Clarence Raymond Andrew's service in World War I, 1917-1919, signed by Andrew on 29 September 1922.Questionnaire originally part of a survey of Norwich University alumni; probably fire damaged in the Dewey Hall fire in 1925. Data from these questionnaires was used in a chapter of "Vermont in the world war, 1917-1919" by Harold P. Sheldon (1928). Transcription by Carina Berg. Transcriptions may be subject to error
Introducing jMusic
No full textThis paper introduces the jMusic compositional language. jMusic is a package of Java classes which provides an environment for non real time music composition. jMusic consists of a music data structure for event organisation along the lines of Common Music and HSML, however it relies more heavily than these on the common practice notation score metaphor in an attempt to provide easy access to composers familiar with that environment. The music data structure is practical for analysis as well as composition, and jMusic reads and writes standard MIDI files to facilitate interaction with existing computer-based music systems. jMusic includes audio classes for sound synthesis, and signal processing, along the lines of Csound and Cmix, however its object oriented nature and the integration between compositional and synthesis functions provide a platform for efficiently combining music-event and audio processes. jMusic is not a scripting language but a direct extension of the Java programming language. This allows access to the full functionality of Java, including the ability to write applets for Internet usage, and for applications to be run unchanged on a wide range of platforms (even with graphical interfaces). Learning jMusic is learning Java, so computer musicians can leverage to mutual advantage jMusic and Java experience. This paper outlines the jMusic data structure and built-in functionality, includes code examples, and shows how jMusic can be extended by users. jMusic is available for free public download
Psychosocial influences on drug driving in young Australian drivers
No full textEpidemiological evidence regarding the occurrence of drug driving amongst young drivers is concerning. This study examined the prevalence of drug driving in a sample of 331 young Australian drivers (average age 24 years), as well as a number of social and psychological influences associated with the behaviour. Results revealed that 26% reported having driven under the influence of psychoactive drugs at least once in their lifetime, and 15% indicated driving within 6 hours of taking drugs and alcohol. While no participants reported being convicted of a drug driving offence, 3% had been involved in one or more crashes whilst drug driving (10% of those who had ever drug driven). Investigations revealed that drug driving behaviour was significantly correlated with vicarious punishment avoidance (r = .41) and direct punishment avoidance (r = .35), suggesting an important link between young peoples’ perceptions about detection and punishment and their own propensity to drug drive. Sensation seeking (r = .24) and attitudes (r = .34) were also significantly correlated with drug driving. Further evidence indicated that those who perceived more social and non-social rewards than punishments associated with drug driving, were more likely to engage in the behaviour. Results suggest that perceptions about detection and punishment are an important influence upon drug driving behaviour for young drivers. The social and non-social rewards associated with drug driving also play an important role
The Art of Engaging: Implications for computer music systems
No full textThe art of engaging with computer music systems is multifaceted. This paper will provide an overview of the issues of interface between musician and computer, cognitive aspects of engagement as involvement, and metaphysical understandings of engagement as proximity. Finally, this paper will examine implications for the design of computer music systems when these issues are taken into account
