This paper outlines some of the technical and aesthetic issues arising from my works which involve computer technology directly in live performance. A process of experimentation in algorithmic composition is described, particularly in relation to aspects of form and ways of automating musical processes at various structural levels. Three works are then described: Kendhang is a work in which a dancer influences the output of a simple algorithmic music system based on interpolation; Or is an instrumental trio which uses realtime sound granulation; and Vug extends this realtime granulation and applies it to a solo clarinet line. An exploration of both the distinctions and similarities between these works is used to develop a general approach to the integration of computer-based algorithmic systems with live performance. This approach emphasises the need for efficient use of technological resources in order to convey expressive content accurately.

This paper describes a series of 10,500 attempts at »pattern-recognition« by two groups of humans and a computer based system. There was little difference between the performances of 11 clinicians and 11 other persons of comparable intellectual capability. Both groups’ performances were related to the pattern-size, the accuracy diminishing rapidly as the patterns grew larger. By contrast the computer system increased its accuracy as the patterns increased in size.It is suggested (a) that clinicians are very little better than others at pattem-recognition, (b) that the clinician is incapable of analysing on a probabilistic basis the data he collects during a traditional clinical interview and examination and (c) that the study emphasises once again a major difference between human and computer performance. The implications as - regards human- and computer-aided diagnosis are discussed.

Fibrotic Lung Disease

In patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), there is an urgent need of biomarkers which can predict disease behaviour or response to treatment. Most published studies report results based on continuous data which can be difficult to apply to individual patients in clinical practice. Having antifibrotic therapies makes it even more important that we can accurately diagnose and prognosticate in IPF patients. Advances in computer technology over the past decade have provided computer-based methods for objectively quantifying fibrotic lung disease on high-resolution CT of the chest with greater strength than visual CT analysis scores. These computer-based methods and, more recently, the arrival of deep learning-based image analysis might provide a response to these unsolved problems. The purpose of this commentary is to provide insights into the problems associated with visual interpretation of HRCT, describe of the current technologies used to provide quantification of disease on HRCT and prognostication in IPF patients, discuss challenges to the implementation of this technology and future directions.

In everyday life, it is not uncommon when we hear the sound of chanting the holy verses of the Al Al Qur’an  which are read in mosques before prayer time or in other conditions we seem interested in knowing what Surah and which verse is being recited. This is due to the love of Muslims themselves for the Al Qur’an  but not all Muslims memorize the entire contents of the Al Qur’an . Based on the limitations and the magnitude of curiosity about Surah and Verse information, the writer is interested in developing a computer system that can recognize and provide information on the recited Surah and Verse. Advances in computer technology not only make it easier for humans to carry out activities. One of the human intelligences that are planted into computer technology is to recognize the verses of the Al Al Qur’an  Surah Al-Falaq through voice. Ada-Boost method is one method to identify or recognize voice classification, and by using this method the success rate in recognizing verse numbers reaches 72%. This system can only recognize the number of verses of the Al Al Qur’an  Surah Al-Falaq, recorded sound files with the .wav file extension and built using the Delphi programming language.

The 1960S

Online catalogs are types of interactive computer systems; they can also be called “interactive catalogs” because a user interacts with the computer to find relevant information. The interaction is the main difference between Online Public Access Catalogs (OPACs) and other types of library catalogs (Hildreth, 1982; Matthews, 1985). Online catalogs are regarded as real-time interactive retrieval systems for libraries (Fayen, 1983). According to Peters (1991), the development of online catalogs can be characterized by three decades of development. In the 1960s, the development of online catalogs was led by the development of computer technology and the library community’s desire to increase efficiency in finding library materials. In the 1970s, commercial vendors started to replace large university libraries as the principal developers of computer-based library systems. In the 1980s, local libraries expand their control of the library catalog systems.

Abstract:Although computer technology has progressed rapidly in the last decade, the use of computer mediated instruction as an adjunct to medical education has made only limited progress. This paper will attempt to analyze some of the major factors bearing on this limitation, will review those areas where computer based´instruction is potentially of greatest use, and will suggest means by which medical education can make greater use of the rapidly evolving information technologies. The Medical PLATO project at the University of Illinois will be used as an example to illustrate many of the points relating to the development of this field.

Transfer Of Information

Computer-based teaching methods can improve the transfer of information, increase instructional focus on conceptual and methodological skills, enhance motivation, and stimulate the development of expressive skills. After reviewing a number of studies of computer-based applications, we report a correlational study of psychology students' attitudes and achievement in a technologically enhanced classroom. The results indicated that (a) students rated the computer-based instructional components positively, (b) those with weak academic backgrounds who consistently used the technology achieved higher test scores than weak students who did not use the technology, and (c) students who dropped out of college the following semester tended to be low users of technology. We also discuss the implications of computer technology for teaching.

The Impact

Rapid advances in the computer industry and the concomitant knowledge explosion have created a revolution in the information handling electronics industry. The continued proliferation of computer technology in the educational environment appears inevitable. There seems to be little doubt that recent advances in educational technology will have important consequences for educational institutions at all levels during the coming decades. Students, teachers, and administrators alike have already come to rely on bibliographic and statistical data bases, automated dictionaries, micrographic storage and retrieval systems, and specialized interactive cable and videotext systems for information access. Despite the impact of computer technology in the school environment, guidelines for planning and developing useable software for assessing cognitive abilities has warranted little attention in educational literature. This article suggests that computer-based support systems are now available which could be instrumental in solving the problems associated with cognitive assessment.
