This research project explores Japanese music theories. By analyzing the basic components of Japanese music, including historical and modern approaches, this presentation demonstrates the similarities and differences in the formation of music in western thought when compared to the methodology of Japan. This research dives deep into tones, scales, melodic approaches, historical development and the effect on modern compositions today. This project informs the audience on the nuances of Japanese music theories in the hope to dispel stereotypes about music theories from different cultures, apart from western thought.

Multiple-Valued Quantum Automata For Robotics, Yuchen Huang Apr 2026

Multiple-Valued Quantum Automata For Robotics, Yuchen Huang

Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation introduces a new type of quantum automata, their encoding and circuit realization. I concentrate on possible applications in robotics. Several methods and application of quantum automata and quantum circuit-based controllers for elementary robotic systems, with a focus on humanoid robot motion, emotion, and behavior generation are illustrated in detail. The research introduces several novel methodologies that bridge quantum computing principles with robotic control, aiming to overcome the limitations of classical deterministic and probabilistic approaches.

The dissertation first presents a quantum-circuit-based framework for generating non-repetitive and expressive (e)motions in a humanoid robot actor, using superposition and entanglement to produce …

Baritenor: A Pedagogical Approach And Vocal Aesthetic Guide To Training The Middle-Voiced Broadway Leading Man, Joshua David Martin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This dissertation explores the role of the baritenor in musical theatre. “Baritenor” is a tenor subcategorization which melds vocal characteristics and qualities of both the tenor and baritone voice and offers additional clarification for the singer in regards to casting. Through a survey of musical theatre history, one can gain a deeper understanding of the progression of compositional style for the voice. Today’s musical theatre performer must be a hybrid singer, trained in an array of Broadway vocal aesthetics to remain versatile as a performer and competitive and castable in the industry. By analyzing the Broadway vocal aesthetics required of …
