Using Pitch Tipping for Baseball Pitch Prediction
… gain an edge in baseball is to figure out what pitches a pitcher will pitch. Pitch prediction is a popular task to try to accomplish with all the data that baseball provides. Most methods involve using situational data like the ball and strike count. In this paper, we try a different method of …

Phonological pitch
The theory proposed in this thesis, Phonological Pitch, concerns the representation and behavior of the tone feature. It is a formally simple phonological theory constrained by a set of explicit extragrammatical principles. Phonological Pitch contains two major grammatical mechanisms. First, tone …

The Quantification of Strike Pitch and Pitch Shifts in Church Bells
… reported in this thesis was to quantify how the pitch or strike note of a bell is determined by the frequencies of its partials. Pitches of bells are generally virtual pitch or missing fundamental effects, generated in the ear rather than present as a frequency in the radiated sound. The exact …

A Comparison Between Habitual Pitch and Optimum Pitch in Preschool-Aged Children
… of this study is to determine if the habitual pitch (HP) produced by normally developing preschool-aged children was different across structured speech tasks and free play and to determine if the HP across the same tasks differed from optimum pitch (OP) produced by these children. HP …

Variable pitch fan aerodynamics
Variable pitch fans could enable reduced fuel burn, low fan pressure ratio turbofan engines by extending fan stage operating range and reducing weight and drag by eliminating thrust reversers. The work in this thesis looks to further understanding of the aerodynamic performance of variable pitch …

Individual Differences in Pitch Perception
… investigating individual differences in pitch perception. Experiment 1 identified otherwise normally hearing adult listeners who were relatively insensitive to the direction of small but detectable frequency changes between sequential pure tones. Following previous research, an important …

Pitch Estimation of Musical Signals
Can a computer algorithm assess musical pitch with results analogous to those of a trained human musician? This thesis attempts to answer that question by demonstration. It starts by examining the nature of pitch, and human spectrotemporal perception of music. In pitch vibrato, the frequency varies …

The cognition of atonal pitch structures
The Cognition of Atonal Pitch Structures investigated the ability of a listener to internally organize atonal pitch sequences into hierarchical structures. Based on an information processing model proposed by Deutsch and Feroe (1981), the internal organization of well processed pitch sequences will …

Pitch Contour of Japanese Traditional Verse
… thesis I conduct experiments to investigate how pitch pattern is realized in Japanese Traditional Verses. My observation consists of four parts: (i) investigation of lexical pitch and accentual combinations of Contemporary haiku in prose and in verse (ii) investigation of lexical pitch and …

The cognitive organisation of musical pitch
… the idea that the rationales for the forms of pitch organisation employed within tonal music which have been adopted by music theorists have strongly affected those theorists` conceptions of music, and that it is of critical importance to music theory to investigate the potential origination of …

Installation Effects on Variable Pitch Fans
… require an extended operating range and variable pitch fans can achieve this by re-pitching the rotor blades. Moreover, a variable pitch fan has the potential of reducing fuel burn if sufficient reverse thrust can be generated, such that the engine weight and drag associated with heavy …
