ChatGPT in Computer Science Education: A Case Study on a Database Administration Course by Daniel López-Fernández, Ricardo Vergaz

“…This article concludes that ChatGPT is an excellent educational instrument in the context of database administration and that in order to use it properly, it is necessary for students to have good prompting skills as well as a sound theoretical basis. Training students in the use of GenAI tools like ChatGPT, for example, with a guided practice strategy where prompting and conducted step-by-step practice are employed is key to prevent the appearance of new digital trenches.…”

Fast, super‐resolution sparse inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging via continuous compressive sensing by Lv Mingjiu, Ma Lei, Ma Jianchao, Chen Wenfeng, Yang Jun, Ma Xiaoyan, Cheng Qi

“…Second, to improve the resolution and reduce the computational burden significantly, a locally convergent iterative algorithm based on the alternating direction method of multipliers, which iteratively performs ANM with a sound reweighting strategy, is implemented. Then, the low‐rank Toeplitz covariance matrix, which contains the information of the target, is obtained. …”

Klang als Poetik und Form. Instrumentatorische Beobachtungen und Adornos »unendliche Streicherperspektive« in Maurice Ravels Pavane de la Belle au bois dormant aus Ma mère l’oye... by Emmanouil Vlitakis

“…Following ideas by Carl Dahlhaus and Pierre Boulez, an analysis of orchestration is proposed that takes into account the interaction between different aspects of composition, aiming at aesthetic (qualitative) as well as acoustic (quantitative) descriptions of sound phenomena. The orchestration reveals a potential to engender substantial dramaturgical changes to the original version due to a specifically ›designed‹ transformation of the medium (piano – orchestra). …”
