针对传统超声波测风装置测风精度不高、抗噪声能力弱,提出了一种改进多重信号分类(multiple signal classification,MUSIC)算法的超声波测风方法。采用一种弧形6阵元超声波传感器阵列的测风结构,推导其阵列流型;在此基础上,添加小波阈值降噪算法提高信号信噪比,降低噪声信号协方差矩阵的秩;再使用PHAT加权广义互相关时延估计算法以提高时延估计的准确性,同时根据时延关系对传统MUSIC算法矢量矩阵进行改进;最后通过MUSIC算法实现对风速风向的测量。理论分析与仿真结果表明:改进后的MUSIC算法具有较好的抗噪性能和较高的风参数测量精度,测量风速绝对误差达到0.15 m/s,风向绝对误差达到2°,可以应用于对风参数要求较高的场景。

一种奇异值分解与子空间加权联合的改进MUSIC算法

在低信噪比、小快拍数等非理想条件下,经典DOA估计算法对邻近目标的分辨率严重下降,甚至失去分辨能力。针对这一问题,提出了一种将重构的接收信号协方差矩阵进行奇异值分解并与改进的加权子空间方法相结合的改进算法。该算法充分利用互相关信息构建新的接收信号协方差矩阵,并对噪声子空间信息采用新的校正方法,对噪声特征值进行改造,之后对噪声子空间进行加权,最后与信号子空间加权技术相联合。仿真实验证明,改进算法在低信噪比和小快拍数条件下可以分辨间隔4°的相邻目标,统计分析表明该算法的分辨率明显优于经典MUSIC算法。

洋流能够调节全球热量的分布,降低航运成本。以往的洋流方位估计方法未对洋流信号源之间的相关性进行完全消除,导致估计效果较差。因此,本文设计了基于改进MUSIC方法的洋流方位估计方法。首先,以采集到的洋流信号为基础,构建洋流阵列信号模型,并对洋流信号进行降噪处理,提高信号数据的质量。然后,为减少洋流信号源之间相关性对估计结果的影响,利用改进MUSIC方法及协方差矩阵,对洋流信号源相关性进行消除,通过计算信号源的相关参数,构建洋流方位估计模型。最后,通过对洋流信号源的转换,实现洋流方位的估计。在仿真试验中,以南海部分海域为试验对象,对不同谱点下估计方法的估计效果进行评价,与以往的洋流方位估计方法相比,设计的基于改进MUSIC方法的洋流方位估计方法精度高达97.2%,应用效果更好。

The Role of Music Therapy in Supporting Intellectually Disabled Youth in Senegal

Introduction: Music therapy is a practice for helping and supporting people with intellectual and relational difficulties. This study illustrated the benefits of music therapy for young people living with intellectual disabilities (YLID) in an African context. Methodology: This study investigated six young individuals with intellectual disabilities who had undergone three years of music therapy. They were participants in the inclusive non-academic training program at the National School of Arts in Dakar from 2017 to 2019. Data collection utilized individual interviews with the youths, evaluation grids from teachers and psychiatrists. Guardians provided informed consent along with the assent of the young participants. Results: The six young were aged between 18 and 30 years old, with an average age of 24.6 years. Four of the YLID were male. Three young people with intellectual disabilities had delayed psychomotor development. Observations revealed the beneficial influence of music therapy on the health and well-being of young individuals. Music played a role in alleviating stress and anxiety among youth with intellectual disabilities (YLID), enhancing their mood and mental health. It assisted in navigating challenging situations and heightened alertness among YLID. Additionally, music therapy contributed to improvements in dyslexia, fine and gross motor skills, and memory development among intellectually disabled youth, ultimately facilitating their integration into society. Conclusion: In light of our results, music therapy makes a major contribution to the empowerment of YLID. Engaging in musical activities helps young people connect with others through instrumental expression and a sense of accomplishment. By facilitating music therapy, it becomes possible to combat discrimination and stigmatization, thus promoting the social inclusion of intellectually disabled youth. Therefore, it is important to promote music therapy in Senegal to meet the needs of YLID.

随着国际热核聚变实验堆(International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor,ITER)计划的逐步开展,保证ITER磁体电源系统的稳定运行显得尤为重要。文章采用将DQ变换和多信号分类(multiple signal classification,MUSIC)算法相结合的方法进行间谐波频率检测,信号的幅度和相位由最小二乘法来估计。DQ变换可以消除大幅度ITER基波分量,MUSIC算法可以通过矩阵特征分解检测出短数据条件下的谐波和间谐波,适用短时平稳的间谐波检测,两者相结合可以有效检测出大幅度基波附近存在小幅度间谐波。仿真实验表明,计算经DQ变换后检测出的ITER信号谐波频率时,取中间信号计算真实频谱较为正确,两侧信号则有较大的误差。

基于Root-MUSIC算法的激光扫频干涉测量方法研究

玻璃的厚度作为工业生产中的一项重要的指标,如何对其快速的测量成为了研究热点。提出采用激光扫频干涉测量方法,将采样的信号进行插值拟合,校正其拍频非线性,再通过频谱估计法获取距离信息。当测量厚度较小的玻璃时,FFT算法因受栅栏效应和频谱干涉的影响,导致难以在频谱图中将玻璃前后表面的频率区分出来。为解决该问题,采用Root-MUSIC算法处理信号,实验结果表明在FFT算法分辨临近目标频率失效的情况下,Root-MUSIC算法可以进行有效区分,运算效率也远高于MUSIC算法,且精度可达50微米左右,为解决玻璃厚度测量问题提供了思路。

How Music Intervention Lowered Participants’ Morning Cortisol—Qualitative Case Stories

Non-pharmacological interventions for improved home care of persons with dementia and their family caregiver are and will be increasingly important for society. A music intervention study was performed on persons with persons with dementia and family caregiver. The persons with dementia and family caregiver were instructed to choose a daily routine for joint listening to recorded music. They selected the music they were interested in from a menu. The intervention period lasted for two months. Both persons with dementia and family caregiver provided daily saliva samples for the assessment of stress-related steroid hormones. In previous reports we have reported that the morning cortisol levels decreased significantly among the family caregiver when the intervention group was compared to a control group. In the present study we report narratives from four dyads, two of whom with beneficial effects of the music intervention, one dyad with no clear beneficial effects and one dyad with mixed results. The narratives illustrate the strong cohesive effect that the joint music listening could have, leading to improved social functioning paralleled by decreased morning cortisol levels particularly in the family caregiver. The narratives also illustrate reasons for failed effects.

Using Five Music Instructional Methods to Illustrate the Social Constructive Music Teaching Framework in Hong Kong Primary Level Music Education

Music education under the frame name of arts education has been integrated into the primary and secondary education curriculums in Hong Kong for more than 20 years,starting from 2001,the year of launching the Learning to Learn curriculum for the reconstruction of the education system for the younger generation.Music education,embedded into the arts education,was therefore regarded as one of the key subjects to cultivate and uplift student holistic development,focusing on aesthetic skill training and moral growth development.This research was an exploration study of music teaching practices from two private international and two general public school music teachers at the primary school level.The value of this study rested on borrowing the idea of Shulman’s pedagogical content knowledge(PCK)principle to create a social constructivist music teaching framework from five commonly-used instructional methods,namely,Orff,Kodaly,Dalcrozes,Suzuki,and Gordon’s approaches.Based on the evaluations of these four case studies,hypotheses on the differences in the PCK were tested with the types of schools and found to be no difference.The preliminary results suggested that music teachers in private international schools had similar pedagogical approaches to music instruction to teachers in aided-public schools.Additionally,the modeling,guiding,and training approach was identified as a grounded teaching method for music education at the primary school level regardless of different types of schools.Other implications like the further development of the framework were discussed.

Russian Music of the Soviet Era: For Archive or Forever

The purpose of the article is to present several topics in Russian music of the Soviet era(roughly 1920-1990).The time that has passed since the fall of the Iron Curtain allows us to rethink and revise the cultural treasures of seven decades and reassess new research of the last decade,carried out both by people who previously gained a reputation as an authority in Soviet culture,and by scientists who came from this environment and began sharing their vision of the subject after acquiring the skills of a Western scholar.The article is based mainly on the latter research and tries to see its subject as a complete picture,albeit with missing details,so to speak,a postmodern picture that requires the reader to participate in its refinement.The methodological basis of this study is working with published sources through the critical lens of cultural anthropology as it has developed and presently looks.
