The Geometry of Musical Rhythm What Makes a Good Rhythm Good? Second Edition

The Geometry of Musical Rhythm What Makes a Good Rhythm Good? Second Edition

The original edition of The Geometry of Musical Rhythm was the first book to provide a systematic and accessible computational geometric analysis of the musical rhythms of the world. It explained how the study of the mathematical properties of musical rhythm generates common mathematical problems that arise in a variety of seemingly disparate fields. The book also introduced the distance approach to phylogenetic analysis and illustrated its application to the study of musical rhythm. The new edition retains all of this while also adding 100 pages 93 figures 225 new references and six new chapters covering topics such as meter and metric complexity rhythmic grouping expressive timbre and timing in rhythmic performance and evolution phylogenetic analysis of ancient Greek paeonic rhythms. In addition further context is provided to give the reader a fuller and richer insight into the historical connections between music and mathematics. | The Geometry of Musical Rhythm What Makes a Good Rhythm Good?

Data Science for Water Utilities Data as a Source of Value

Data Science for Water Utilities Data as a Source of Value

This addition to the Data Science Series introduces the principles of data science and the R language to the singular needs of water professionals. The book provides unique data and examples relevant to managing water utility and is sourced from the author’s extensive experience. Data Science for Water Utilities: Data as a Source of Value is an applied practical guide that shows water professionals how to use data science to solve urban water management problems. Content develops through four case studies. The first looks at analysing water quality to ensure public health. The second considers customer feedback. The third case study introduces smart meter data. The guide flows easily from basic principles through code that with each case study increases in complexity. The last case study analyses data using basic machine learning. Readers will be familiar with analysing data but do not need coding experience to use this book.

Parking and the City

Parking and the City

Donald Shoup brilliantly overcame the challenge of writing about parking without being boring in his iconoclastic 800-page book The High Cost of Free Parking. Easy to read and often entertaining the book showed that city parking policies subsidize cars encourage sprawl degrade urban design prohibit walkability damage the economy raise housing costs and penalize people who cannot afford or choose not to own a car. Using careful analysis and creative thinking Shoup recommended three parking reforms: (1) remove off-street parking requirements (2) charge the right prices for on-street parking and (3) spend the meter revenue to improve public services on the metered streets. Parking and the City reports on the progress that cities have made in adopting these three reforms. The successful outcomes provide convincing evidence that Shoup’s policy proposals are not theoretical and idealistic but instead are practical and realistic. The good news about our decades of bad planning for parking is that the damage we have done will be far cheaper to repair than to ignore. The 51 chapters by 46 authors in Parking and the City show how reforming our misguided and wrongheaded parking policies can do a world of good.

Structural Genomics on Membrane Proteins

Structural Genomics on Membrane Proteins

While the genomic revolution has quickly led to the deposit of more than 30 000 structures in the protein data bank (PDB) less than one percent of those contributions represent membrane proteins despite the fact that membrane proteins constitute some 20 percent of all proteins. This discrepancy becomes significantly troublesome when it is coupled with the fact that 60 percent of current drugs are based on targeting this group of proteins a trend that does not seem likely to reverse. Structural Genomics on Membrane Proteins provides an excellent overview on novel research in bioinformatics and modeling on membranes as well as the latest technological developments being employed in expression purification and crystallography to obtain high-resolution structures on membrane proteins. This cutting-edge work also explains the difficulties facing researchers—both technical and ethical—that have slowed the process. Structural Genomics on Membrane Proteins provides researchers with an unprecedented look at the novel technologies that will ultimately allow them to conquer the last frontier in structural biology leading to accelerated breakthroughs in drug discovery.
