Created in 1985 by Barry Vercoe, Csound is one of the most widely used software sound synthesis systems. Because it is so powerful, mastering Csound can take a good deal of time and effort. But this long-awaited guide will dramatically straighten the learning curve and enable musicians to take advantage of this rich computer technology available for creating music. Written by the world's leading educators, programmers, sound designers, and composers, this comprehensive guide covers both the basics of Csound and the theoretical and musical concepts necessary to use the program effectively. The thirty-two tutorial chapters cover: additive, subtractive, FM, AM, FOF, granular, wavetable, waveguide, vector, LA, and other hybrid methods; analysis and resynthesis using ADSYN, LP, and the Phase Vocoder; sample processing; mathematical and physical modeling; and digital signal processing, including room simulation and 3D modeling. CDs for this book are no longer produced. To request files, please email digitalproducts-cs@mit.edu.

Sustainability is changing from a niche to a main component in financial analysis. Due to this change, sustainability receives more and more attention from academics. Despite the increasing number of studies, most authors focused on sustainable funds and sustainable indices, which makes a comparison difficult. Furthermore, the market has not found a consensus whether sustainability enables a significant excess return or not. Thus, this study concentrates on a different approach and uses sustainability ratings from a trusted sustainability research provider and constructed portfolios for the different sustainability ratings. Subsequently, a performance analysis was conducted by analyzing equity returns with a head-to-head analysis, the Jensen and the Fama and French model. The empirical study shows that sustainable portfolios outperformed the market, whereby not all results were significant. A significant number of environmental, social and governance studies are summarized at the end of this work to identify which factors could be responsible for the outperformance. This meta-approach shows arguments in favor of outperformance possibilities for all E, S and G criteria.
