Sound und Rhythmus in populärer Musik. Analysemethoden, Darstellungsmöglichkeiten, Interpretationsansätze

Dass bei der Analyse von Musikclips klanglich-musikalische Aspekte nicht selten vernachlässigt werden, erstaunt umso mehr, als ja die Musik in der Regel Grundlage und Ausgangspunkt für die anschließende Visualisierung ist und nicht umgekehrt. Die Gründe für die Vernachlässigung des Klanggeschehens liegen vermutlich in Berührungsängsten und Unsicherheiten von Nicht-Musikern und Nicht-Musikwissenschaftlern – den „Non-Musos“, wie sie Philip Tagg einmal genannt hat (Tagg 2001) – gegenüber einem analytischen Hören und Beschreiben von Musik, aber doch auch in Versäumnissen auf Seiten der etablierten Musikwissenschaft, die ja eigentlich für die Analyse und Beschreibung von populärer Musik zuständig wäre und hier geeignete Methoden zur Verfügung zu stellen hätte. Insbesondere weil deren recht komplexen Analyse-Ansätze nicht selten an dem vorbei gehen, was bei populärer Musik für Hörer und Musiker relevant ist, lassen sich „Non-Musos“ oftmals von einer analytischen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Klanggeschehen abschrecken. In meinem Beitrag möchte ich angemessene Analysemethoden und Darstellungsmöglichkeiten vorstellen und diskutieren, die dem Klanggeschehen von populärer Musik gerecht zu werden versuchen und die auch von „Non-Musos“, von NichtMusikern und Nicht-Musikwissenschaftlern, nachvollzogen und angewendet werden können. Dabei werde ich mich auf die Dimensionen Sound und Rhythmus konzentrieren – zwei wichtige, wenn nicht sogar die beiden zentralen Dimensionen populärer Musik, die jedoch im Analysekanon der Musikwissenschaft wenn überhaupt, so doch eher am Rande auftauchen. Ich beginne meinen Beitrag mit einer Reihe von Vorüberlegungen zu Analysemethoden, Darstellungsmöglichkeiten und Interpretationsansätzen populärer Musik und werde sodann genauer auf die Praxis der Analyse eingehen. Anschließend werde ich einige musikanalytische Vorgehensweisen, Hilfsmittel und Darstellungsmöglichkeiten anhand eines Musikbeispiels konkretisieren, und zwar anhand des Stücks Mt Saint Michel + Saint Michaels Mount von Aphex Twin aus dessen 2001 erschienenem Album Druqks. Zu einem Teil des Musikstückes hat Chris Cunningham die Video-Installation Monkey Drummer produziert. Zum Schluss möchte ich an diesem Beispiel kurz auf das Verhältnis von visueller und klanglicher Gestaltung eingehen.
Finding of Biliary Fascioliasis by Endoscopic Ultrasonography in a Patient with Eosinophilic Liver Abscess

Fascioliasis is an endemic zoonotic disease in Iran. It occurs mainly in sheep-rearing areas of temperate climates, but sporadic cases have been reported from many other parts of the world. The usual definitive host is the sheep. Humans are accidental hosts in the life cycle of Fasciola. Typical symptoms may be associated with fascioliasis, but in some cases diagnosis and treatment may be preceded by a long period of abdominal pain and vague gastrointestinal symptoms. We report a case with epigastric and upper quadrant abdominal pain for the last 6 months, with imaging suggesting liver abscess and normal biliary ducts. The patient had no eosinophilia with negative stool examinations, so she was initially treated with antibiotics for liver abscess. Her clinical condition as well as follow-up imagings showed appropriate response after antibiotic therapy. Finally, endoscopic ultrasonography revealed Fasciola hepatica, which was then extracted with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
Design, Analysis and Modeling of Dual Band Microstrip Loop Antenna Using Defective Ground Plane

Present wireless communication demands compact and intelligent devices with multitasking capabilities at affordable cost. The focus in the presented paper is on a dual band antenna for wireless communication with the capability of operating at two frequency bands with same structure. Two resonance frequencies are observed with the second operation band at 4.2GHz approximately three times the first resonance frequency at 1.5GHz. Structure is simple loop of microstrip line with characteristic impedance 50 ohms. The proposed antenna is designed using defective ground structure (DGS) and shows the nearly one third reductions in size as compared to without DGS. This antenna was simulated on electromagnetic (EM) simulation software and fabricated using microwave integrated circuit technique on RT-Duroid dielectric substrate (εr= 2.22) of thickness (H=15 mils). The designed antenna was tested on automatic network analyzer and shows the good agreement with simulated results. The proposed structure is modeled into an equivalent electrical circuit and simulated on circuit simulator. Subsequently, theoretical analysis was carried out and simulated. The simulated, measured, equivalent circuit response, and theoretical results shows good resemblance. The bands of operation draw many potential applications in today’s wireless communication. Keywords—Defective Ground plane, Dual band, Loop Antenna, Microstrip antenna, Resonance frequency.

Die Lunge des Neugeborenen

Die Lunge steht im Mittelpunkt der postnatalen Adaptation des Neugeborenen. Von allen Organfunktionen, die sich nach der Durchtrennung der Nabelschnur an die extrauterinen Verhältnisse anpassen müssen, ist der Gasaustausch am häufigsten von Störungen betroffen. Es erscheint deshalb logisch, dass die wichtigsten Meilensteine (s. Infobox), die zur Entwicklung des Fachgebiets Neonatologie führten, die Pathophysiologie der Lungenfunktion des Frühund Neugeborenen betreffen: die pränatale Lungenreifung, die Substitution mit exogenem Surfactant und der CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) als einfachste Form der Atemhilfe (Abb.1).
Advancing Algorithms for the Multi-Objective Generation of Bicycle Routes

Modern day routing planners are optimized to ﬁnd the shortest route. This allows us to travel between two places e ﬃ ciently. However, traveling is not only a means of transportation between two places but can be a recreational activity. In this work a way of generating bicycle routes that are not only based on distance, but consider other factors as well, is proposed. The additional usage of points of interest and amenities are used to generate routes. Furthermore a way of generating round trips is discussed. These options are combined with faster algorithms than the status quo in multi-objective bicycle route planning. The approach has been tested and visualized using data from OpenStreetMap.
On the resistance of the instrument

Emotional expression is often regarded as central to the purpose and meaning of art. In large part this is because it encompasses a number of different values, each more or less present as a product of the awareness, deliberation, inventiveness, and social coordination to be found in the expressive act (cf. Scherer in Chapter 5). My goal here will be to outline these values in an act of musical performance, highlighting the role played by the resistance of the instrument to the immediate realization of the musician’s intentions. Resistance is also something that comes in degrees, and by examining some recent trends in musical instrument technologies, I will argue that relative transparency is also a viable choice, depending on the values to which one aspires. Let us begin by discerning the values to be found at a general level in the expression theory of art. A classic statement of the theory is R. G. Collingwood’s (1938) book The Principles of Art . Here Collingwood articulates the view that the business of art “proper” is to express the emotional state of the artist. Collingwood means something very specifi c by the term “expression,” however. It is not simply a matter of revealing one’s emotion. In a famous passage, he describes the process involved:
Morphological and biochemical variations in St. John’s wort, Hypericum perforatum L., growing over altitudinal and UV-B radiation gradients

Background and Purpose: The climate of the Alpine region is marked by a higher proportion of UV radiation which, combined with other stresses, plays an important role in determining the differences between highland and lowland plant populations. The study was aimed at identifying the plant habitus as well as selected morphological and biochemical properties that enable optimised growth under given conditions, and at determining the potential of plants to cope with UV-B radiation stress. Material and Method: St. John’s wort, Hypericum perforatum L. , thrives in a continuum of habitats from lowlands to highlands. Chlorophylls a and b and UV absorbing compounds (AC) were determined. The height of the plants, internodes and shoots, and the angle of the shoots were measured. Thicknesses of epidermis, palisade and spongy tissues were examined and evaluated by the computer program AnalySIS 3.0 (Soft Imaging System, Munster, Germany). The number of seeds was counted and their weight determined at the end of the growing season. Results and Conclusions: The content of total UV absorbing compounds (AC) in leaves increased with altitude. The average content of total UV AC in plants growing at 1300 m a.s. l. was about 25% higher than at 400 m a.s. l. The content of chlorophyll showed the opposite trend. At high altitudes plants were shorter, due to shorter and reduced numbers of internodes. Reproductive success was much lower in plants growing at high altitudes; they developed fewer flowers (on average 147 at 400 m a.s.l. and 50 at 1700 m a.s.l.) and seeds per plant than those growing in lowlands. The present study indicates that St. John’s wort growing at high altitudes has developed an effective strategy to mitigate the effects of the severe alpine climate.
Puppy parties and beyond: the role of early age socialization practices on adult dog behavior

The most common role of a domestic dog in the developed world currently is that of companion. Puppy socialization practices play a large role in the development of well-adjusted adult dogs that display few undesirable behaviors, and which can establish a positive, lifelong relationship with their owner. Age-appropriate socialization practices should begin within a few days of birth, and should extend well into adulthood. These practices should aim to provide exposure to many of the types of experiences, people, and objects that the dog is likely to encounter over the course of its life, in a controlled and pleasant way. Dogs that are appropriately socialized as puppies are less likely to exhibit behavioral problems as adults, including aggression and fearfulness. They are more likely to engage in positive social behaviors with humans, and can learn how to play games with humans better than dogs without proper socialization. However, the evidence in support of puppy socialization classes is less clear. There is some evidence that puppy classes positively impact adult behavior, but other studies show no clear benefit. Since socialization should begin early in a puppy’s life, it is the responsibility of the breeder and the owner. Breeders can ensure that puppies are exposed to age-appropriate experiences while in the litter, and owners must ensure that the dog continues to have varied experiences throughout its life. Veterinarians are also an important part of this process, and are heavily relied upon by owners to provide information about health and behavior. Since veterinarians often see puppies during vaccinations, owners can be educated about proper socialization practices at those visits. Future research should aim to determine the minimum amounts of socialization required for a puppy, and whether there is a maximum amount, beyond which there is no benefit, or even a disadvantage.
A Novel Approach for Forecasting of Residential, Commercial and Industrial Electricity Loads*

In this paper an innovative method for one and seven - day forecast of electricity load is proposed. The new approach has been tested on three different cases from south - west Western Australia’s interconnected system. They have been tested under the most realistic conditions by considering only minimum and maximum forecasts of temperature and relative humidity as available future inputs. Two different nonlinear approaches of neural networks and decision trees have been applied to fit proper models. A modified version of mean absolute percentage error (MMAPE) of each model over the test year is presented. By applying a developed criterion to recognize the dominant component of the electricity load, user of this work will be able to choose the most efficient forecasting method.

Green tea polyphenols (GTP) has been proven to modulate immune system. The study aimed to analyze the capacity of antioxidant GTP in inhibiting the suppression effect of radiotherapy to the immune system using monocytes, lymphocytes, TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-2 parameters. Methods: An experiment study using pre-post test control group design was conducted to 50 NPC patients in II, III and IV stages, received 200 cGy/day 33 times. The treatment group was 25 patients consumed GTP (2900 mg of decaffeinated extract of green tea, containing 986 mg EGCG and 1711 mg of other polyphenols) 2 hours before and 10 hours after RT. The 10 ml blood of cubiti vein was taken 5 to 7 days prior and 3-5 hours after the whole RT. Monocytes and lymphocytes were cultured with autologous whole blood and TNF-α secretion of monocytes having been induced with LPS, IFN-γ and IL-2 by lymphocytes having been induced with PHA and LPS respectively, were measured using ELISA. Results: In the post RT, the control group, monocyte, lymphocyte, TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-2 had decreased, and the treatment group, monocyte, lymphocyte, and TNF-α decrease, while IFN-γ and IL-2 increase. The t-test transformation logarithm data of monocyte, lymphocyte, and TNF-α comparing the two groups, the result of monocyte and lymphocyte was significantly different (p<0.05), except TNF-α. The Mann-Whitney test the delta data of the IFN-γ and IL-2 were significantly different (p<0.05). Conclusions: GTP significantly inhibit the decrease of the number of monocyte and lymphocyte as well as the production of IFN-γ and IL-2, except TNF-α.

Heat and spin transport in ultrafast magnetization dynamics:spin-caloritronics on the femtosecond scale

Since the rst experiments by Beaurepaire et al in 1996, showing sub-picosecond changes in the magnetization of ferromagnetic material by a femtosecond laser pulse, the eld of ultrafast masngetization dynamics has received a great deal of attention. It holds the promise of new magnetic devices, operating at speeds orders of magnitude faster than existing ones. On the origin of the e ect, however, and the reason why it was observed in some materials and not in others, many contradicting views arose. In this thesis, research is presented that tries to improve the understanding of ultrafast magnetization dynamics and test some of the existing models. The main research question that is addressed in this work is if and how transport of heat and spins in uence ultrafast magnetization dynamics. Although equilibrium heat and spin transport are well-understood, it is still an open question how they in uence magnetization dynamics on femtosecond timescales. From the theoretical point of view, two types of transport have been added to the Microscopic Three Temperature Model, which is a model that describes magnetization dynamics on ultrafast timescales. The two types of transport are ballistic and di usive transport. Calculations have been performed for both to make predictions about the nal experiments. An improved version of the setup designed by Beaurepaire et al, the Time Resolved Magneto-Optical Kerro E ect setup, is used to perform measurements on di erent samples. Two techniques are introduced and used to gain insight in the non-local processes: a thin ferromagnetic layer is used as a ultrafast local thermometer in a nonmagnetic stack, and the setup is adjusted to be able to study a sample from two sides. The results are compared to simulations to determine which transport description best ts the measurements, as well as to study the origin of the demagnetization. With these experiments we proved that transport e ects on ultrashort time scales cannot be neglected. Furthermore, we were able to block transport by adding an insulating layer to the samples. We ruled out ballistic transport, leaving the di usive desciption as the best candidate to explain the experimental observations. Finally, we have demonstrated that the origin of demagnetization lies not predominantly in spin transport, as has recently been suggested, but instead in local processes.
OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF (162173) 1999 JU3: IN PREPARATION FOR THE JAXA HAYABUSA 2 SAMPLE RETURN MISSION

We investigated the magnitude–phase relation of (162173) 1999 JU3, a target asteroid for the JAXA Hayabusa 2 sample return mission. We initially employed the International Astronomical Union's H–G formalism but found that it fits less well using a single set of parameters. To improve the inadequate fit, we employed two photometric functions: the Shevchenko and Hapke functions. With the Shevchenko function, we found that the magnitude–phase relation exhibits linear behavior in a wide phase angle range (α = 5°–75°) and shows weak nonlinear opposition brightening at α < 5°, providing a more reliable absolute magnitude of HV = 19.25 ± 0.03. The phase slope (0.039 ± 0.001 mag deg−1) and opposition effect amplitude (parameterized by the ratio of intensity at α = 0.°3 to that at α = 5°, I(0.°3)/I(5°) = 1.31 ± 0.05) are consistent with those of typical C-type asteroids. We also attempted to determine the parameters for the Hapke model, which are applicable for constructing the surface reflectance map with the Hayabusa 2 onboard cameras. Although we could not constrain the full set of Hapke parameters, we obtained possible values, w = 0.041, g = −0.38, B0 = 1.43, and h = 0.050, assuming a surface roughness parameter = 20°. By combining our photometric study with a thermal model of the asteroid, we obtained a geometric albedo of pv = 0.047 ± 0.003, phase integral q = 0.32 ± 0.03, and Bond albedo AB = 0.014 ± 0.002, which are commensurate with the values for common C-type asteroids.
08w5094 Analytic Tools in Computational Complexity

Computational Complexity Theory is the field that studies the inherent costs of algorithms for solving mathematical problems. Its major goal is to identify the limits of what is efficiently computable in natural computational models. Computational complexity ranges from quantum computing to determining the minimum size of circuits that compute basic mathematical functions to the foundations of cryptography and security. Computational complexity emerged from the combination of logic, combinatorics, information theory, and operations research. It coalesced around the central problem of “P versus NP” (one of the seven open problems of the Clay Institute). While this problem remains open, the field has grown both in scope and sophistication. Currently, some of the most active research areas in computational complexity are

Abstract-Classical test theory is a body of psychometric conjecture that focuses on predicting the outcomes of psychological tests, to improve their reliability and validity. Silva’s Management Competency Framework Assessment

Classical test theory is a body of psychometric conjecture that focuses on predicting the outcomes of psychological tests, to improve their reliability and validity. Silva’s Management Competency Framework Assessment Instrument (SMCF-AI) was developed, following an approach through factor-item analytic mode. The Bartlett test of sphericity was significant (p<.000) and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy was 0.84, suggesting that the data was suitable for factor analysis. The data was subjected to principal axis factoring by way of oblique rotation under direct oblimin method and the sub-scales structures were examined. The pattern Scree Plot matrix that contained information on unique contribution of the constructs to the subscales using the eigenvalue was used as basis for interpreting the dimensions. The eigenvalue distribution of the scree plot suggested that eight factors should be extracted. In addition, the structure matrix that takes the relationships between the factors into consideration was cross-checked if the same factors emerged. To test for covariance, a comparison of the intercorrelations between the factored scales was performed. The differences between the sub-scales across the demographic profile were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance. The most significant contribution of this study is the development of a Silva’s Management Competency Model. The empirical component of the theoretical assumption on interrelatedness of the management competency dimensions has been supported by the results of this study captured in Silva’s Management Competency Theory (IaMSilvA).
