This paper reports an intercomparison study on undisturbed trade wind cumulus convection under steady-state conditions as observed during the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX) with 10 large eddy simulation (LES) models. A main objective of this is to obtain a quantitative assessment quality turbulent dynamics for type boundary layer clouds produced by different LES codes. 6-h shows excellent model-to-model agreement vertical thermodynamical structure, reasonable...

Abstract Large‐eddy simulations of the development shallow cumulus convection over land are presented. Many characteristics layer previously found in quasi‐steady sea to be reproduced this more strongly forced, unsteady case. Furthermore, results shown encouragingly robust, with similar obtained eight independent models, and also across a range numerical resolutions.

Abstract Emotions are a key part of creative endeavours, and core problem for computational models creativity. In this paper we discuss an affective computing architecture the dynamic modification music with view to predictablyaffectinginducedmusicalemotions. Extending previous work on perceived emotions in music, our system aims provide reliable control both induced musical emotions: its emotionality. A rule-based is used modify subset features at two processing levels, namely score...

All music performances are generative to the extent that actions of performers produce musical sounds, but in this article authors focus on performative interaction with a more compositional sense. In particular they discuss how live coding involves building and management processes. They suggest human processes occurs provides unique perspective landscape. Especially significant is way which algorithms represented code best afford modification during performance. also features make them or...

Abstract The practice of coding music live challenges computing conventions with regard to developmental agility. computational representation likewise musicians articulate their in new ways.

JythonMusic, written Python, is an open source project for making creative programming activities intended programmers, all levels backgrounds. supports algorithmic composition, dynamic...

Plasmas whose Coulomb-collision rates are very small may relax on shorter timescales to non-Maxwellian quasi-equilibria, which, nevertheless, have a universal form, with dependence initial conditions retained only via an infinite set of Casimir invariants enforcing phase-volume conservation. These distributions derived by Lynden-Bell ( Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. , vol. 136, 1967, p. 101) statistical-mechanical entropy-maximisation procedure, assuming perfect mixing phase-space elements. To...

Music plays an enormous role in today's computer games; it serves to elicit emotion, generate interest and convey important information. Traditional gaming music is fixed at the event level, where tracks loop until a state change triggered. This behaviour however does not reflect musically in-game between these events. We propose dynamic environment, adjust real-time emotion of state. are looking improve affective response symbolic through modification structural performative characteristics...

Based on the statistical 3D device simulation of well scaled 25, 18 and 13nm physical gate length bulk MOSFETs, impact random dopant fluctuation 6-T SRAM is studied in detail. The bias control approach introduced to improve scalability CMOS SRAM. Simulation results indicate that at length, will face fundamental challenges arising from intrinsic parameter fluctuation, a replacement by ultra thin body SOI may be necessary this point

We report results of the statistical 3-D simulation progressive negative-bias temperature instability (NBTI) degradation in p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors corresponding to 45-nm technology generation. The simulations take into account both discrete NBTI-related fixed/trapped charges and underlying sources variability bulk transistors. Good agreement has been achieved between measurements carried out on similar devices reported elsewhere. analysis highlights...

In this article we discuss how contemporary computational and electronic music-making practices might be characterised as a post-digital avant-garde. We also practitioners within the higher education sector can play role in leading development of these through their research teaching.
