Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hollywood careers of Aaron Copland and Hanns Eisler brought the composers and their high art sensibility into direct conflict with the premier producer of America's potent mass culture. Drawn by Hollywood's potential to reach—and edify—the public, Copland and Eisler expertly wove sophisticated musical ideas into Hollywood and, each in their own distinctive way, left an indelible mark on movie history. Sally Bick's dual study of Copland and Eisler pairs interpretations of their writings on film composing with a close examination of their first Hollywood projects: Copland's music for Of Mice and Men and Eisler's score for Hangmen Also Die! Bick illuminates the different ways the composers treated a film score as means of expressing their political ideas on society, capitalism, and the human condition. She also delves into Copland's and Eisler's often conflicted attempts to adapt their music to fit Hollywood's commercial demands, an enterprise that took place even as they wrote hostile critiques of the film industry.

This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multibiometric systems have the potential to mitigate error rates and address certain inherent weaknesses found in unimodal systems. This study introduces an innovative scheme for user recognition in multibiometric systems, centered on a score-level fusion framework. The foundation of this framework lies in the full reinforcement operator (FRO), specifically estimating FRO through generator functions associated with triangular norms (T-norms and T-conorm). The efficiency of the proposed method has been showcased through an extensive set of experiments carried out on four commonly available benchmark databases: all three partitions of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) databases (Set 1, 2, 3), along with the XM2VTS database. Our method achieves superior accuracy compared to existing methods, reaching 100 % recognition on NIST-Set 1, 93.40 % on NIST-Set 2, and 94.54 % on the more challenging NIST-Set 3. The experimental findings illustrate that score fusion schemes based on FRO not only enhance verification rates when compared to current score-level fusion techniques (such as Asymmetric Aggregation Operators, Minimum, Maximum, T-norms, and Symmetric-Sum) but also offer a swift computational performance.
