Measuring emotions of music is one of the methods to determine music content. Music emotion detection is applicable in music retrieval, recognition of music genre and also music data management softwares. Music emotion is considered in different sciences such as physiology, psychology, musicology and engineering. First, we collected a database of different types of music with various emotions. These data have been labeled according to their emotions. In this project, four emotions (Angry, happy, relax and sad) have been used as labels based on Thayer’s two dimension emotion model. There are two basic steps for music emotion recognition similar to other recognition systems: Feature extraction... 

Futures exchanges require a margin requirement that ensures their competitiveness and protects against default risk. The purpose of a margin requirement is to protect a clearinghouse from members’ defaults resulting from big losses due to adverse movement of futures prices. Extreme movements are central to the margin setting problem, because only a large price variation may cause brokers to incur losses. So in this study according to recent default in gold futures in Iran Mercantile Exchange we apply extreme value theory for computing unconditional and conditional optimal margin levels based on Block-Maxima and Peak over threshold approaches.The results show that at very high confidence... 

In this study, by performing a series of experiments, the effect of the presence of cylinders on the formation of vortices and the interaction of cylinders on each other and, finally, transverse propagation in a steady flow are investigated. The cylinder cylinders that are in the direction of the motion of the water, have a significant effect on the hydrodynamic aspects and propagation in these streams. In the pattern of flow around cylindrical cylinders, with increasing Reynolds number, the vortex behind the stem begins to oscillate and when they reach, vortices flow into the stream. The flow velocity field, the formation and vortex fluctuation, affects the process of particle propagation...
