During the Elizabethan era, writers such as Shakespeare, Spenser, Sidney, Daniel, and others frequently expounded on mercy, exploring the sources and outcomes of clemency. This fresh reading of such depictions shows that the concept of mercy was a contested one, directly shaped by tensions over the exercise of judgment by a woman on the throne.

Focused on MUSIC in higher education, the book offers insights into the growth of online learning in MUSIC, perspectives on theoretical models for design and development of online courses, principles for good practice in online education, and an agenda for future research. Part I presents an overview of the historical development of online education in MUSIC and addresses quality assurances. It summarizes guidelines and standards relevant to development and implementation of online instruction, and reviews current research on online learning in MUSIC. Part II explores theoretical models for online course design, development, and implementation. Part III describes a creative approach to online course design—composing the course, choreographing learning experiences, and conducting the course—and its application in both fully online and blended courses. It explores aspects of teaching and learning in the online classroom, emphasizes the role of the professor as director of learning, and identifies active roles that students may assume. It suggests ways to prevent problems and resolve those that do arise, and it makes recommendations for faculty development. The book includes a concise overview of best practices for online teaching and learning. It concludes with a look toward the future and suggestions for further research on online learning in MUSIC.

Virtual MUSIC is about artificial creativity. Focusing on the author's Experiments in MUSICal Intelligence computer MUSIC composing program, the author and a distinguished group of experts discuss many of the issues surrounding the program, including artificial intelligence, MUSIC cognition, and aesthetics. The book is divided into four parts. The first part provides a historical background to Experiments in MUSICal Intelligence, including examples of historical antecedents, followed by an overview of the program by Douglas Hofstadter. The second part follows the composition of an Experiments in MUSICal Intelligence work, from the creation of a database to the completion of a new work in the style of Mozart. It includes, in sophisticated lay terms, relatively detailed explanations of how each step in the process contributes to the final composition. The third part consists of perspectives and analyses by Jonathan Berger, Daniel Dennett, Bernard Greenberg, Douglas R. Hofstadter, Steve Larson, and Eleanor Selfridge-Field. The fourth part presents the author's responses to these commentaries, as well as his thoughts on the implications of artificial creativity. The book (and corresponding Web site) includes an appendix providing extended MUSICal examples referred to and discussed in the book, including composers such as Scarlatti, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Puccini, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Debussy, Bart?3k, and others. It is also accompanied by a CD containing performances of the MUSIC in the text

A pulse-density-modulated (PDM) flyback-based microinverter with a high-frequency AC (HFAC) link and an active decoupling circuit is proposed. The converter's structure and basic operating principle are analysed. The advantages of utilising an active decoupling circuit and the demand for using pulse-density modulation are explained. The operation of the proposed microinverter has been verified by experiment.

MUSIC is one of the most powerful elicitors of subjective emotion, yet it is not clear whether emotions elicited by MUSIC are similar to emotions elicited by visual stimuli. This leads to an open question: can MUSIC-elicited emotion be transferred to and/or influence subsequent vision-elicited emotional processing? Here we addressed this question by investigating processing of emotional faces (neutral, happy and sad) primed by short excerpts of MUSICal stimuli (happy and sad). Our behavioural experiment showed a significant effect of MUSICal priming: prior listening to a happy (sad) MUSIC enhanced the perceived happiness (sadness) of a face irrespective of facial emotion. Further, this MUSICal priming-induced effect was largest for neutral face. Our electrophysiological experiment showed that such crossmodal priming effects were manifested by event related brain potential components at a very early (within 100ms poststimulus) stages of neuronal information processing. Altogether, these results offer new insight into the crossmodal nature of MUSIC and its ability to transfer emotion to visual modality. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

This article presents information on top 40 MUSIC albums, as of May 27, 2004. Singer Mario Winans' hot pop single with P. Diddy, "I Don't Wanna Know," gave the R&B star a renewed fire for his second album, his first in seven years. Winans' album "Hurt No More" sold 222,648 copies in its first week. Two years after its singer's death, the Texas metal band Drowning Pool returns in a big way with the MUSIC album "Desensitized." Owing to the rock-radio hit "Step Up," the new DP record sold 42,425 copies.
