Abstract: Example embodiments relate to methods and systems for playback of adaptive music corresponding to an athletic activity. A user input is received from a user selecting an existing song for audible playback to the user, the song comprising a plurality of audio layers including at least a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. Augmented playback of the existing song to the user is initiated by audibly providing the first layer but not the second layer. Physical activity information derived from a sensor corresponding to a real-time physical activity level of a user is received. If the physical activity level of the user is above a first activity level threshold, the augmented playback of the existing song is continued by audibly providing the first layer and the second layer to the user.

Abstract: A process to continuously bulk polymerize vinylic monomers to prepare low molecular weight, uniform, polymers employs minor amounts of initiator and, optionally solvents, at short residence times and moderate reaction temperatures to provide high yields of a product suitable for high solids applications.
