An exploration of polyphony and the perspective it offers on our own polyphonic brains. Polyphony—the interweaving of simultaneous sounds—is a crucial aspect of music that has deep implications for how we understand the mind. In Polyphonic Minds, Peter Pesic examines the history and significance of “polyphonicity”—of “many-voicedness”—in human experience. Pesic presents the emergence of Western polyphony, its flowering, its horizons, and the perspective it offers on our own polyphonic brains. When we listen to polyphonic music, how is it that we can hear several different things at once? How does a single mind experience those things as a unity (a motet, a fugue) rather than ...
This book presents novel research and application chapters on topics in reliability, statistics, and machine learning. It has an emphasis on analytical models and techniques and practical applications in reliability engineering, data science, manufacturing, health care, and industry using machine learning, AI, optimization, and other computational methods. Today, billions of people are connected to each other through their mobile devices. Data is being collected and analysed more than ever before. The era of big data through machine learning algorithms, statistical inference, and reliability computing in almost all applications has resulted in a dramatic shift in the past two decades. Data a...
In 1973 and 1981 excavations of an Iron Age plateau enclosure on the outskirts of Andover revealed a sequence of Late Bronze to Early Iron Age defence construction and modification, subsequently further modified in the Romano-British period. Other features included a Late Neolithic/Beaker burial and, in the interior, a palimpsest of pits, postholes, gullies and buildings of Early Iron Age to late Roman date. Artefacts of all periods are reported on, and environmental evidence enhances the understanding of site activities and the ecological background.
