Modern keyboards allow a musician to play multiple instruments at the same time by assigning zones—fixed pitch ranges of the keyboard—to different instruments. In this paper, we aim to further extend this idea and examine the feasibility of automatic instrumentation—dynamically assigning instruments to notes in solo…

'Mathieu Barthet'] Abstract. Recently, symbolic music generation with deep learning techniques has witnessed steady improvements. Most works on this topic focus on MIDI representations, but less attention has been paid to symbolic music generation using guitar tablatures (tabs) which can be used to encode multiple…

'Luis M. Contreras-Medina' 'Irineo Torres-Pacheco' 'Rene de J. Romero-Troncoso' 'Ramon G. Guevara-Gonzalez' 'Jesus R. Millan-Almaraz'] Chlorophyll fluorescence can be defined as the red and far-red light emitted by photosynthetic tissue when it is excited by a light source. This is an important phenomenon which permits…

Access to affordable and reliable scientific instrumentation remains a significant barrier to the democratization of healthcare and scientific research. In the field of biotechnology, in particular, the complexity, cost, and infrastructure requirements of many instruments continue to limit their accessibility…

We introduce the text-to-instrument task, which aims at generating sample-based musical instruments based on textual prompts. Accordingly, we propose Instrument-Gen, a model that extends a text-prompted generative audio framework to condition on instrument family, source type, pitch (across an 88-key spectrum)…

[T1] presents the mean amount of extruded debris in the four groups. As shown, minimum apical extrusion of debris was noted in Reciproc, followed by Reciproc Blue, GF, and manual technique. Considering the normal distribution of data (P > 0.05), ANOVA was applied to compare the four groups regarding apical extrusion of…

The instrument described in this article measures the absorbance of visible light (with wavelengths in the range of approximately 400 to 650 nm) by liquid samples, a method widely used for determining solute concentrations. To minimize the cost of the instrument, interchangeable light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are used as…

A guitar string represents a wave, and by associating a qubit to each of its playable states we get a quantum wave. This is the principle behind our Quantum Guitar: 'quantising all strings of a guitar'. In order to achieve this quantisation, we couple a guitar with Moth's Actias quantum synth, and for qubit…

'Robert E Jacobson'] Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is primarily found in an older population. This is a similar demographic group that develops both osteoporosis and vertebral compression fractures (VCF). This report reviewed a series of patients treated for VCF that had previous lumbar surgery for symptomatic spinal…

Droplet-based single cell RNA-seq has emerged as a powerful technique for massively parallel cellular profiling. While these approaches offer the exciting promise to deconvolute cellular heterogeneity in diseased tissues, the lack of cost-effective, reliable, and user-friendly instrumentation has hindered widespread…

Comprehensive studies of molecular electrocatalysis require tedious titration-type experiments that slow down manual experimentation. We present elab as an automated electrochemical platform designed for molecular electrochemistry that uses opensource software to modularly interconnect various commercial instruments…

Ultrasonic monitoring is essential for ecological studies of bats and other animals, yet high-performance field devices remain prohibitively expensive and inaccessible-particularly in biodiversity-rich regions with limited research infrastructure. Existing low-cost options often lack real-time listening and require a…

Rodent models of optic nerve crush (ONC) have often been used to study degeneration and regeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms. However, ONC results from different laboratories exhibit a range of RGC injury with varying degree of axonal damage. We…

Musical performance with entirely new types of computer instruments is now commonplace, as a result of the availability of inexpensive computing hardware, of new sensors for measuring physical parameters such as force and position, and of new software for real-time sound synthesis and manipulation. Musical interfaces…

Frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (FD-NIRS) provides quantitative noninvasive measurements of tissue optical absorption and scattering, and provides a safe and accurate method for characterizing tissue composition and metabolism. However, the poor scalability and high complexity of most FD-NIRS systems…

This article questions the notion of ephemerality of digital musical instruments (DMI). Longevity is generally regarded as a valuable quality that good design criteria should help to achieve. However, the nature of the tools, of the performance conditions and of the music itself may lead to think of ephemerality as an…

Recently, shot noise has been shown to be an inherent part of all charge transfer processes, leading to a practical limit of quantification of 2100 electrons (~0.34 fC) (Curr. Opin. Electrochem. 2020, 22, 170177). Attainable limits of quantification are made much larger by greater background currents and insufficient…
