Chord Sequence patterns in OWL
… in the Web Ontology Language (OWL) focusing on chord sequence representation and presents and evaluates a newly developed solution. The solution consists of two main components. Ontological modelling patterns for musical entities such as notes and chords are introduced in the (MEO) ontology. A …

Chord arc submanifolds of arbitrary codimension
… Semmes concerning hypersurfaces which satisfy a chord-arc condition with small constant to geometric objects of higher codimension and thereby we open this subject to questions arising in the field of geometric knot theory. We consider embedded, connected, and complete submanifolds of the …

Design considerations for parallel chord one-way long-span steel trusses
… has a span of 100’ to 200’, is parallel chord, one-way, simply spanned, and constructed of steel. The trusses are evaluated for typically gravity loading and analyzed in two dimensions. Aspects from analysis, layout, fabrication, erection, and transportation are investigated to find ideal …

Effective length factors for solid round chord members of guyed towers.
Chord members of twenty-five all-welded guyed-latticed communication steel tower sections were tested in the Structural Engineering Laboratory of the University of Windsor to determine the effective length factors of the chord members. Two different manufacturers, viz., Pirod Inc., Plymouth, …

Adolescent perception of chord quality: an aural skills assessment and educational correlates
This study investigated how adolescents perceive chord quality and which musical and educational experiences are associated with the development of harmonic aural skills. Situated at the intersection of music theory pedagogy, aural skills research, and adolescent cognitive development, the project …

An experimental comparison of a ternary chord keyboard with the QWERTY keyboard
Chord keyboards use the concept of simultaneous activation of keys to produce single characters. Some chord keyboards have been suggested as potential devices to replace the standard QWERTY keyboard which is now considered the major human-computer interface tool. This study focused on evaluating a …

From Music Theory to Graph Theory: Analyzing Chord Successions in J.S. Bach’s Modal Chorales
… thesis, I will map out the frequency of adjacent chord successions in Bach’s modal chorales, focusing on the last phrase that confirms the modal identity of each chorale. My research will provide insight into the harmonic structure of Bach’s modal chorales.

Chord Conundrum: Examining the Performance Practice of Polyphonic Figures in J.S. Bach's Solo Violin Works
… in the form of sustained three and four note chords. Violinists and scholars have long debated the proper stylistic performance of these chords; a truly informed interpretation requires careful study not only of the instrument used during the 17<sup>th</sup> and 18<sup>th</sup> centuries, but …

Combined Tension and Bending Loading in Bottom Chord Splice Joints of Metal-Plate-Connected Wood Trusses
… the steel net-section strength of bottom chord splice joints of MPC wood trusses. Several common wood truss splice joint configurations were tested at varying levels of combined tension and bending loading. The joint configurations were 2x4 lumber with 20-gauge truss plates, 2x6 lumber …

Use of artificial neural network models to derive particle size distributions and their moments from chord length distributions
The objective of this study was to develop a method for in-lie measurement of a particle size distribution (PSD) of suspended solids and its moments. This was part of a wider study, the aim of which was to develop a system for controlling a crystallisation process. The control strategy to be used …

The utility of a technique for testing the difference in ease of chords on the Ternary Chord Keyboard
In a pilot study, response times of 64 possible chords on the Ternary Chord Keyboard (TCK) were compared in order to establish a basis for assigning characters to chords. It was found that subjects had faster response times for some chords than others. Upon close inspection of the experimental …
