Streaming media players are newer devices in the music teacher’s toolbox but are becoming more commonly found in the classroom. Being one of the more modern kids on the block, there are even more opportunities to create activities and resources specifically for these devices. Use your devices as a tool for your instruction. Such as a remote for your computer or as your recording device for assessments. Students can use interactive instrument apps to perform together, create VR and AR experiences on their own, or use their devices to interact with their recorders to practice. Mobile devices are perfect for allowing students to have more independence in their learning and create their own musical works of art.

Ontology Of Art

In trying to decide what kinds of thing art works are, the most natural starting point is the hypothesis that they are physical objects. This is plausible only for certain works, such as paintings and sculptures; in such cases we say that the work is a certain marked canvas or piece of stone. Even for these apparently favourable cases, though, there is a metaphysical objection to this proposal: that works and the physical objects identified with them do not possess the same properties and so cannot be identical. There is also an aesthetic objection: that the plausibility of the thesis for painting and sculpture rests on the false view that the authentic object made by the artist possesses aesthetically relevant features which no copy could possibly exemplify. Once it is acknowledged that paintings and sculptures are, in principle, reproducible in the way that novels and musical scores are, the motivation for thinking of the authentic canvas or stone as the work itself collapses. For literary and musical works, the standard view is that they are structures: structures of word-types in the literary case and of sound-types in the musical case. This structuralist view is opposed by contextualism, which asserts that the identity conditions for works must take into account historical features involving their origin and modes of production. Contextualists claim that works with the same structure might have different historical features and ought, therefore, to count as distinct works. Nelson Goodman (1981) has proposed that we divide works into autographic and allographic kinds; for autographic works, such as paintings, genuineness is determined partly by history of production: for allographic works, such as novels, it is determined in some other way. Our examination of the hypothesis that certain works are physical objects and our discussion of the structuralist/contextualist controversy will indicate grounds for thinking that Goodman’s distinction does not provide an acceptable categorization of works. A wholly successful ontology of art works would tell us what things are art works and what things are not; failing that, it would give us identity conditions for them, enabling us to say under what conditions this work and that are the same work. Since the complexity of the issues to be discussed quickly ramifies, it will be appropriate after a certain point to consider only the question of identity conditions. For simplicity, this entry concentrates on works of art that exemplify written literature, scored music and the plastic and pictorial arts.

Media Server

Recent growth in popularity of mobile video services raises a demand for one of the most popular and convenient methods of delivering multimedia data, video streaming. However, heterogeneity of currently existing mobile devices involves an issue of separate video transcoding for each type of mobile devices such as smartphones, tablet PCs, and smart TVs. As a result additional burden comes to media servers, which pretranscode multimedia data for number of clients. Regarding even higher increase of video data in the Internet in the future, the problem of media servers overload is impending. To struggle against the problem an offloading method is introduced in this paper. By the use of SorTube offloading framework video transcoding process is shifted from the centralized media server to the local offloading server. Thus, clients can receive personally customized video stream; meanwhile the overload of centralized servers is reduced.

Real time Streaming Media (Video Streaming) applications are mostly popular on the mobiles and computers using Internet. Due to higher demand of video streaming through wireless network and mobile devices, video are being transmitted through various heterogeneous networks so as to efficiently deliver to the clients devices. This has resulted in the lower quality of real time video, since real time streaming media has quality of parameter requirements like high bandwidth, low packet loss ratio, higher delay and jitter. Streaming media such as video through heterogeneous networks has more challenges due to unreliable wireless networks and device mobility; moreover bandwidth, delay and loss are unknown in advance and are unbounded. In this paper, effective bandwidth prediction through statistical technique over heterogeneous wireless communication networks is proposed. Statistical technique offers computationally efficient bandwidth prediction with reasonably better accuracy. Especially with mobile devices with limited computational power and battery life, necessitates better bandwidth prediction with efficient but computationally simpler algorithms. Bandwidth predictions assist in selecting effective network for video streaming when various heterogeneous networks are available. Detailed bandwidth prediction algorithm is presented with use of quality of service (QoS) parameters data sets available online.

ABSTRACT This article is part of a report on the results of artistic research (works of music) in the field of music. Briefly expresses experience and some knowledge findings related to the process of creating musical works of art. "Durma" is an editorial for this artwork, which contains three works of music with a popular music creation approach. Inspired by the anxiety of observing the infertility of creativity in the area of popular music in Indonesia, through "Durma" the thought was made to model the creativity of popular music by paying attention to the clash of lyric texts with musical expressions to produce messages and impressions of songs that are not public. In the habits of popular music, the elements of lyric text and musical expression are linear and mutually reinforcing relationships. It has never been imagined before that when a popular musical creation thinks a little freely and tries to clash ideas with an established knowledge of popular music creation, it will instead create ambiguity and the complexity of a refreshing taste. The outputs of the "Durma" artistic research include (1) art work products in the form of audio recordings of three songs entitled (a) Candles, (b) Girls, and (c) Good Night, (2) research reports, and (3) scientific publications articles that unravel the knowledge behind this work process.Keywords : Music creation, popular, clash of musical expressions and lyric texts ABSTRAK Artikel ini adalah bagian dari laporan hasil penelitian artistik (karya musik) di bidang musik. Secara singkat, ini mengungkapkan pengalaman dan beberapa temuan pengetahuan terkait dengan proses penciptaan karya seni musik. "Durma" adalah editorial untuk karya seni ini, yang berisi tiga karya musik dengan pendekatan penciptaan musik populer. Terinspirasi oleh kecemasan mengamati ketidaksuburan kreativitas di bidang musik populer di Indonesia, melalui "Durma" pemikiran dibuat untuk memodelkan kreativitas musik populer dengan memperhatikan benturan teks lirik dengan ekspresi musik untuk menghasilkan pesan dan tayangan lagu yang tidak umum. Dalam kebiasaan musik populer, unsur-unsur teks lirik dan ekspresi musik adalah hubungan linier dan saling menguatkan. Belum pernah terbayangkan sebelumnya bahwa ketika sebuah ciptaan musik populer berpikir sedikit dengan bebas dan mencoba untuk bertabrakan dengan pengetahuan mapan tentang ciptaan musik populer, ia malah akan menciptakan ambiguitas dan kompleksitas rasa yang menyegarkan. Output dari penelitian artistik "Durma" meliputi (1) produk karya seni dalam bentuk rekaman audio dari tiga lagu berjudul (a) Lilin, (b) Gadis, dan (c) Selamat Malam, (2) laporan penelitian, dan (3) artikel publikasi ilmiah yang mengungkap pengetahuan di balik proses kerja ini. Kata kunci: Penciptaan musik, populer, benturan ekspresi musik dan teks lirik

Current State

BACKGROUND Mobile phone apps capable of monitoring arrhythmias and heart rate (HR) are increasingly used for screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of HR and rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation (AF). These apps involve either the use of (1) photoplethysmographic recording or (2) a handheld external electrocardiographic recording device attached to the mobile phone or wristband. OBJECTIVE This review seeks to explore the current state of mobile phone apps in cardiac rhythmology while highlighting shortcomings for further research. METHODS We conducted a narrative review of the use of mobile phone devices by searching PubMed and EMBASE from their inception to October 2018. Potentially relevant papers were then compared against a checklist for relevance and reviewed independently for inclusion, with focus on 4 allocated topics of (1) mobile phone monitoring, (2) AF, (3) HR, and (4) HR variability (HRV). RESULTS The findings of this narrative review suggest that there is a role for mobile phone apps in the diagnosis, monitoring, and screening for arrhythmias and HR. Photoplethysmography and handheld electrocardiograph recorders are the 2 main techniques adopted in monitoring HR, HRV, and AF. CONCLUSIONS A number of studies have demonstrated high accuracy of a number of different mobile devices for the detection of AF. However, further studies are warranted to validate their use for large scale AF screening.
