The paper presents some aspects of the music for the Festa dei Gigli in Nola, focussing mainly on some transcultural aspects. Namely, the contamination between processes of oral transmission and the use of popular music, the urban setting of the Feast, the process of patrimonization within the Unesco framework, the specific training of the musicians between Conservatories, popular music, and the specific repertoire for the Festa dei Gigli.

Wide-band Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation with sensor arrays is an essential task in sonar, radar, acoustics, biomedical and multimedia applications. Many state of the art wide-band DOA estimators coherently process frequency binned array outputs by approximate Maximum Likelihood (ML), Weighted Subspace Fitting or focusing techniques.
