The periodic sampling by mist-netting capture program provided the quantitative basis for this project.

The analogue modeling synth and sampling drum machine both share a drum-pattern section and a synth-pattern section, whereby the user can not only program drum patterns, but also synth and basslines.

This was not, of course, enough sampling to give a satisfactory description of the vertical diffusion of the aerosol.

In short, scientific sampling was introduced in place of subjective sampling.

It was assumed that the sampling procedure was purely random with respect to the personality variables under investigation.

The Amiga was one of the first home computers for which inexpensive sound sampling and video digitization accessories were available.

The Fairlight CMI was the first sampling synthesizer, while the Synclavier was originally an FM synthesizer, not adding sampling synthesis until the 1980s.

It used FM synthesis and, although it was incapable of the sampling synthesis of the Fairlight CMI, its price was around $ 2, 000, putting it within range of a much larger number of musicians.

It was also the first real breakthrough for sampling, as the bassline of Chic's " Good Times " laid the foundation for the song.

One of hip-hop's first superproducers, Marley Marl was an early innovator in the art of sampling, developing new techniques that resulted in some of the sharpest beats and hooks in rap's Golden Age.

Most important, though, were his skills as a beatmaker ; Marl was among the first to mine James Brown records for grooves and also learned how to craft his own drum loops through sampling, which decreased hip-hop's reliance on tinny-sounding drum machines and gave his ' 80s productions a fresh, modern flavor.

NASA was funding an archival study in 2007 that was trying to locate the film of the camera-body microbial sampling to confirm the report of a breach in sterile technique.

Sounds were stored on QuickDisks and it was capable of sampling up to 6 seconds of sound.

Dynamic sampling in surveys was first introduced by Govindarajulu, Z. and MN Katehakis in 1991.

The group's work was associated with unorthodox sampling, polysyllabic rhymes, and bizarre lyrical imagery.

The conclusion was supported by a case-control study, environmental sampling, and laboratory analysis of samples collected from the fair and members of the outbreak.

The mature Synclavier was a modular, component-based system that included facilities for FM-based synthesis, digital sampling, hard-disk recording, and sophisticated computer-based sound editing.

The Synclavier System was an early digital synthesizer, polyphonic digital sampling system, and music workstation, manufactured by New England Digital Corporation, Norwich, VT.

Stratification is the process of dividing members of the population into homogeneous subgroups before sampling.

The " solution " to higher sampling in the spatial domain for this case would be to move closer to the shirt, use a higher resolution sensor, or to optically blur the image before acquiring it with the sensor.

Long before Harry Nyquist had his name associated with sampling, the term Nyquist rate was used differently, with a meaning closer to what Nyquist actually studied.

Analog signals that have not already been bandlimited must be passed through an anti-aliasing filter before conversion, to prevent the distortion that is caused by audio signals with frequencies higher than the Nyquist frequency, which is half of the system's sampling rate.

This removal is done before ( re ) sampling at a lower resolution.

Undersampling, which creates low-frequency aliases, can produce the same result, with less effort, as frequency-shifting the signal to lower frequencies before sampling at the lower rate.

Adams himself, at his own suggestion, makes a cameo appearance ; due to his death before production began on the series, this was achieved by sampling his character's dialogue from an audio book of the novel read by Adams that was published in the 1990s.

" This type of sampling was only possible before Grand Upright Music, Ltd. v. Warner Bros. Records Inc., the landmark lawsuit against Biz Markie by Gilbert O ' Sullivan, which changed the process and future of hip hop sampling.

The conventional, practical digital-to-analog converter ( DAC ) does not output a sequence of dirac impulses ( such that, if ideally low-pass filtered, result in the original signal before sampling ) but instead output a sequence of piecewise constant values or rectangular pulses.

In the process of finding and removing bottlenecks, it is important to prove their existence, such as by sampling, before acting to remove them.

Temporal resolution of fMRI is limited by: ( 1 ) the feedback mechanism that raises the blood flow operating slowly ; ( 2 ) having to wait till net magnetization recovers before sampling a slice again ; and ( 3 ) having to acquire multiple slices to cover the whole brain or region of interest.

Described by critic Jason Ankeny as " successfully bridg the gap between pop and the avant-garde ," Czukay is also notable for creating early important examples of ambient music, for exploring " world music " well before the term was coined, and for being a pioneer of sampling.

The recordings of the Stars on 45 medleys were also made before the advent of modern synthesizers with the possibility of sampling sounds.

However, the Provincial government's engineering consultants advised that sampling of the water behind the 2200 plug before removal of the sampling valve, showed the water that the chemistry behind the plug had become more neutral with respect to sulphate levels and pH since construction of the plug, and therefore the simple concrete plug could last much longer than 60-70 years.

Through the 1980s Ellard began to take advantage of technological developments such as the music sequencer in combination with looping sounds before sampling arose.

Images from the brain scanner may be pre-processed before any statistical comparison takes place to remove noise or correct for sampling errors.

After each tasting, and before sampling another glass, some tasters recommended drinking half a glass of milk to refresh the taste receptors on the tongue.

Also known as butler's friend or " Ah-So ", the twin-prong cork puller can extract a stopper without damaging it, to allow for sampling the wine before re-inserting the stopper.

They recorded a one-off single as The Dynamic Duo before continuing as Alien Sex Fiend, using electronics and sampling more as part of their sound.

By sampling the current just before the potential is changed, the effect of the charging current can be decreased.

Criticizes " several questionable sampling techniques that should have been more thoroughly examined before publication " and lists several flaws, including a " fatal " one, that " In such a situation, multiple random sample points are required within each geographic region, not one per 739000 individuals.
