Space and Earth Sciences, Computer Systems, and Scientific Data Analysis Support, Volume 1

This Final Progress Report covers the specific technical activities of Hughes STX Corporation for the last contract triannual period of 1 June through 30 Sep. 1993, in support of assigned task activities at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). It also provides a brief summary of work throughout the contract period of performance on each active task. Technical activity is presented in Volume 1, while financial and level-of-effort data is presented in Volume 2. Technical support was provided to all Division and Laboratories of Goddard's Space Sciences and Earth Sciences Directorates. Types of support include: scientific programming, systems programming, computer management, mission planning, scientific investigation, data analysis, data processing, data base creation and maintenance, instrumentation development, and management services. Mission and instruments supported include: ROSAT, Astro-D, BBXRT, XTE, AXAF, GRO, COBE, WIND, UIT, SMM, STIS, HEIDI, DE, URAP, CRRES, Voyagers, ISEE, San Marco, LAGEOS, TOPEX/Poseidon, Pioneer-Venus, Galileo, Cassini, Nimbus-7/TOMS, Meteor-3/TOMS, FIFE, BOREAS, TRMM, AVHRR, and Landsat. Accomplishments include: development of computing programs for mission science and data analysis, supercomputer applications support, computer network support, computational upgrades for data archival and analysis centers, end-to-end management for mission data flow, scientific modeling and results in the fields of space and Earth physics, planning and design of GSFC VO DAAC and VO IMS, fabrication, assembly, and testing of mission instrumentation, and design of mission operations center

Trends of vocal warm-ups and vocal health from the perspective of singing and medical professionals

textThe purpose of this treatise is to investigate the efficacy of vocal warm-ups/vocalises and their role in teaching vocal technique and health for the solo singer. In addition, it will provide a brief history of vocalises and methods of the “Bel Canto” era. Current literature addresses warm-ups for choral ensembles and choral singers. It does not adequately address solo/individual warm-ups and their impact on vocal technique, health and performances. Laryngologists and voice professionals were interviewed to better understand the role of vocalises in the study of voice and professional performance. These interviews were conducted in person, by telephone and via electronic mail correspondence. Voice teachers and singers were surveyed on their current vocal warm-up practices both in the voice studio and in performance. Surveys are to be administered in three ways: 1) hard copy surveys delivered at the National Association of Teachers of Singing National Conference 2008; 2) selected nationally known teachers and singers received via ground mail a copy of the survey; 3) an online survey. This study was directed to obtain answers to the following questions: 1) Is there a standard methodology for vocal warm-ups?; 2) If so, how has this methodology evolved over time?; 3) What is the current use of vocal warm-ups and vocalises by voice instructors and professional voice users?; 4) How does the use of vocal warm-ups and vocalises influence the effectiveness of vocal performance?; 5) Does the use of vocal warm-ups or vocalises contribute to the health of the singer, thus resulting in an excellent vocal performance?; 6) Does practicing vocal warm-ups or vocalises have a positive effect on overall vocal health? This study aims to broaden the current understanding of vocalises and their impact on the teaching and performing of classical voice.Musi

An engineering approach to knowledge acquisition by the interactive analysis of dictionary definitions

It has long been recognised that everyday dictionaries are a potential source of lexical and world knowledge of the type required by many Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems. This research presents a semi-automated approach to the extraction of rich semantic relationships from dictionary definitions. The definitions are taken from the recently published "Cambridge International Dictionary of English" (CIDE). The thesis illustrates how many of the innovative features of CIDE can be exploited during the knowledge acquisition process. The approach introduced in this thesis uses the LOLITA NLP system to extract and represent semantic relationships, along with a human operator to resolve the different forms of ambiguity which exist within dictionary definitions. Such a strategy combines the strengths of both participants in the acquisition process: automated procedures provide consistency in the construction of complex and inter-related semantic relationships, while the human participant can use his or her knowledge to determine the correct interpretation of a definition. This semi-automated strategy eliminates the weakness of many existing approaches because it guarantees feasibility and correctness: feasibility is ensured by exploiting LOLITA's existing NLP capabilities so that humans with minimal linguistic training can resolve the ambiguities within dictionary definitions; and correctness is ensured because incorrectly interpreted definitions can be manually eliminated. The feasibility and correctness of the solution is supported by the results of an evaluation which is presented in detail in the thesis
