NEW WAYS OF PACKAGE PROJECTS FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES (SME) IN GERMANY/NEUE WEGE IM SCHLÜSSELFERTIGBAU FÜR KLEINE UND MITTELSTÄNDISCHE UNTERNEHMEN
Authors: Reichelt Bernd
Published: February 2019

In Germany the building industry is in recession at the moment. Especially the SMEs have to adapt to different situation in order to survive. One possible strategy could be taken on orders as main contractors. This has until now been donne dominantely by large building enterprises.

The author describes problems and chances which arise if the SMEs take on package projects. He develops a strategic idea that is based on intensive use of computers in all processes and on new forms of cooperation (partnering) that is less known in Germany.

The author is convinced that in future the collaboration of partners will play a significant role in the construction of structures that are completely finished and ready for sale. After the improvement of the prototype and optimisation of the information system, the proposed model has a good potential in the field of small and medium business units. After the methodological knowledge and software blend into one product, a new solution will be received, viz the franchise. The integrated system of working with an interested contractor general, his subcontractors and, if necessary, the construction master, that includes training, software support, software test runs, elimination of conflicts and faults, etc. In the first projects the franchiser must provide the intermediator.

The Institute of Collaboration of Construction Partners that earns its income from the sale of franchises may perform scientific improvement of methods and software; the Institute is also engaged in dealing with atypical problems, support of subcontractors and contractors in their search for new ideas, as well as in the promotion of its methods using public relations.

Published: February 2019

The existence of Kampung Jajan Pasar in Gajahmungkur Administrative Village, as the village (kampong) in Semarang City that produces traditional snacks for its commodity, has made its people utilize their living houses as a production room to produce food for home industry. Having limited area and facing the demand to extend the rooms for their home industry, these villagers, mostly females, eventually add another use for rooms of their living houses (mix use). These living houses have become the socio-economic places which describe gender equality (for females) in business related to the utilization of rooms using mix use pattern. This research tries to describe the potency of the villagers and their village that has been appointed as the thematic village with topic scope of adaptation resilience at living house towards the production room function. This result is used as the base for the development model of living houses with the gender-based mix use pattern at Kampung Jajan Pasar in Gajahmungkur, Semarang. The data collecting method were literature studies, observations, interviews, and primary and secondary data extraction. The development of the model used graphic design model and the layout design. The given output is a graphic design model of living houses development based on gender and the layout of environmental space as the center of traditional snacks in Semarang City.
Characterization and transfer of antimicrobial resistance in lactic acid bacteria from fermented dairy products in China
Authors: Yang Chao , Yu Tao
Published: February 2019

Introduction: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are commonly found in foods and are also natural intestinal inhabitants in humans and most animals. However, information regarding antimicrobial resistance and the transfer of resistance genes of LAB from fermented dairy products in China is limited.

Methodology: In this study, LAB isolates (n = 82) of Lactobacillus (n = 43) and Streptococcus thermophilus (n = 39) were isolated from 51 commercial fermented food samples in China. All isolates were subjected to pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), antimicrobial susceptibility, detecting resistance genes, as well as investigating the transferability of resistance genes.

Results: The 43 Lactobacillus isolates yielded 24 PFGE patterns and the 34 isolates of S. thermophilus generated 32 different PFGE patterns. Among the 43 Lactobacillus strains, the most commonly observed resistance was that to streptomycin (83.7%) and gentamycin (83.7%). Among the 39 S. thermophilus strains, the most frequently observed resistance was that to streptomycin (92.3%), gentamycin (87.2%), ciprofloxacin (79.5%), and chloramphenicol (71.8%), whereas the lowest level of resistance was that against erythromycin (7.7%). Antimicrobial resistance genes for erythromycin (emrB), gentamycin (aac(6')-aph(2")), streptomycin (ant(6)), sulfamethoxazole (sulI and sulII), tetracycline (tetM and tetS) were detected in the 18 resistance LAB strains. Conjugation experiments showed that tetM from L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus R6 and tetS from L. plantarum R41 were successfully transferred to L. monocytogenes by filter mating.

Conclusions: LAB strains could potentially act as reservoirs of resistance genes and play an active role in the transfer of resistance to humans via the food chain.

Published: February 2019

Introduction: with the continuous emergence of pathogenic resistance to conventional drugs through efflux pumps, increasing efforts are directed toward discovering efflux inhibitory molecules.
Methodology: in this study three P-glycoprotein (P13CP, P22CP, P34CP) efflux-inhibitors (EIs), belonging to the series of phenoxymethylquinoxalines capable to restore/potentiate the antiproliferative activity of doxorubicin and vincristine against human tumor cell lines and different antibiotics against clinical isolates, were investigated on 10 clinical strains of Candida and 12 clinical and ATCC strains of Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Results: MFC values of FLC were reduced in all Candida strains by the P22CP and P34CP inhibitors, and in 5/10 fungal strains by the P13CP inhibitor.
Conclusion: novel antibiotics with new modes of action are urgently required to suppress the rise of MDR bacteria. An alternative approach would be to identify molecules that can interfere with the process of efflux.

La presente investigación profundiza sobre la diversidad de los culícidos existentes en el municipio de Jarabacoa, a fin de actualizar la información sobre estos dípteros y sus principales sitios de cría, naturales y artificiales. Para tal cometido, se procedió a la búsqueda activa de formas preimaginales mediante la técnica del dipper; se utilizaron pipetas plásticas para muestrear en reservorios de pequeño tamaño. La identificación se llevó a cabo mediante la utilización de lupa binocular y microscopio, con la ayuda de claves taxonómicas específicas. Se capturaron 16 especies pertenecientes a los géneros Aedes Meigen, 1818, Anopheles Meigen, 1818, Culex Linnaeus, 1758, Toxorhynchites Theobald, 1901, Uranotaenia Lynch Arribálzaga, 1891 y Wyeomyia Theobald, 1901, sobre las que se analizaron diversas cuestiones acerca de su bioecología y su papel en la transmisión de agentes patógenos de importancia médica. Se reporta Culex biscaynensis Zavortink & O’Meara, 1999 por primera vez en el Caribe insular, con lo que el número de especies de mosquitos citadas en el país se eleva a 50.
Constructions médiévales en torchis
Authors: Meloche Christophe , Sordoillet Dominique
Published: February 2019

La fouille a mis au jour plus de 50 structures dont la majorité ont été datées par un très abondant mobilier céramique du xiiie et xive siècle. Il n’y a aucune structure antérieure au Moyen Âge central et l’époque moderne n’a laissé que des traces fugitives.
On a mis en évidence une zone comprenant sans doute deux jardins distincts occupant la surface de parcelles étroites. Les habitats associés seraient alors situés plus au nord, en partie sous l’actuelle chaussée. Fosses et silos se multiplient en un siècle et leur capacité de stockage cumulé atteint 11 m3. Deux grandes fosses ont servi d’approvisionnement en matériaux de construction pour l’édification de murs en torchis. Cette zone de jardin comprenait deux puits.
Vague terrain, terrain vague ?
Authors: Blin Olivier
Published: February 2019

à partir d’un espace « vide », un « terrain vague », reconnu au cœur du vicus gallo-romain de Diodurum (Yvelines), émerge une série de questions quant à sa nature, sa fonction, son statut. C’est aussi, plus généralement, celles de son rapport à la ville, à son espace, à sa structure même, composée de « pleins » mais aussi de « vides », qui sont posées et qui permettent de questionner indirectement le fait bâti.
L’outillage lithique en contexte de transformation des métaux
Authors: Pieters Maxence
Published: February 2019

Les outils lithiques en contexte de métallurgie de transformation restent mal pris en compte, malgré des corpus qui peuvent se révéler considérables. Pourtant, une analyse fonctionnelle fine de ces outils permet d’obtenir une quantité importante d’informations, souvent inaccessibles par l’étude des fabricats et outils métalliques. Chaque catégorie fonctionnelle (supports de frappe, abrasifs, brunissoirs, outils d’aiguisage et outils de broyage) nécessite une approche spécifique, par l’analyse de la structure de l’objet. Cette démarche prend place dans une analyse de l’outil considéré à la fois dans sa dimension physique et dans sa dimension temporelle, de sa conception à son abandon, en passant par son usage et d’éventuelles modifications de sa fonction. Une telle prise en compte de l’outillage lithique ouvre de nombreuses perspectives pour une meilleure connaissance des processus métallurgiques (techniques, organisation du travail, postures des fabricants), l’analyse de l’exploitation du milieu et des circuits d’échanges (approvisionnement en matériaux) et la perception par les fabricants des propriétés des roches.
Le sanctuaire antique du site des Jacobins au Mans
Authors: Chevet Pierre
Published: February 2019

Une fouille préventive réalisée au Mans, à l'emplacement d'un ancien quartier urbain de Vindinum, a conduit à la découverte d'un sanctuaire des eaux antique caractérisé par l'abondance des offrandes monétaires et d'objets métalliques parfois précieux, en argent ou en or. Remontant au milieu du ier siècle avant notre ère, ce lieu cultuel, alors cantonné à l'ancien ruisseau d'Isaac et laissé dans son cadre naturel, est progressivement englobé, à partir de 100/120, par le tissu urbain de Vindinum. Ce phénomène, peu fréquent, s'accompagne d'un habillage architectural caractéristique avec, notamment, la création d'un plan d'eau (étang sacré = habitat de la divinité du lieu), d'un mur péribole et d'un petit édifice votif, sorte d'autel-tronc ou de chapelle qui concentre les offrandes monétaires.
La fonction cultuelle du site se maintient jusqu'à l'assèchement de l'étang sacré qui, dans le courant du iiie siècle, laisse place à une sorte de marigot. À cette occasion, on assiste à une modification des pratiques rituelles, les offrandes métalliques étant remplacées par des présents alimentaires, qui s'échelonnent jusqu'à la fin du iiie siècle.
Si le jet de monnaies reste le geste rituel dominant, la fouille a également mis au jour des ex-voto anatomiques témoignant des vertus guérisseuses accordées des eaux du ruisseau, possiblement placées sous le patronage d'Apollon ou de sa parèdre Sirona. Aux côtés de ces offrandes bienveillantes, on trouve également des rituels maléfiques matérialisés par une douzaine de tablettes de défixion sur lesquelles sont gravées des formules d'envoûtement.
Se soigner à Fanum Martis dans l’Antiquité

Published: February 2019

Le corpus des objets (163 NMI) de soin découverts sur l’agglomération secondaire de Famars / Fanum Martis offre des perspectives intéressantes quant au soin et à la façon de soigner en Gaule Belgique au cours des quatre premiers siècles de notre ère. Trois catégories fonctionnelles ont pu être distinguées : celle des objets de toilette et de cosmétique ; celle de l’instrumentum purement médical, et celle dont l’usage est mixte et qui regroupe des objets polyvalents, utilisés à la fois dans les soins quotidiens qui relèvent de l’hygiène et de la cosmétique et dans des soins médicaux.
Au sein de la catégorie toilette-cosmétique (20 NMI), on note que les types d’objets sont variés et presque tous représentés, à l’exception des peignes et des rasoirs, ce qui tend à prouver qu’il s’agit d’objets usuels. Les objets d’usage mixte, les plus nombreux (138 NMI), sont également très variés indiquant là aussi un usage courant. Enfin, l’instrumentum médical est à la fois très faiblement représenté (5 NMI) et par des objets dont l’identification n’est pas toujours certaine.
L’examen des cartes de répartition montre une distribution des objets de soin sur toutes les parcelles d’habitat, attestant bien d’une pratique quotidienne de « l’hygiène » quel que soit le statut des populations et plus particulièrement à l’avant des parcelles, dans les zones bâties.
Le verre dans la sphère médicale
Authors: Joan Lydie
Published: February 2019

Le verre et la médecine aux époques antique et médiévale, ou comment appréhender les rapports entre ce matériau et cette discipline ? Le croisement de données plurielles issues des sources écrites, iconographiques, archéologiques et d’analyses chimiques permettent d’appréhender ce thème. Bien que le verre soit largement usité dans le monde du soin depuis l’Antiquité, l’utilisation souvent plurielle des récipients de verre rendent bien difficile cette approche. Il faut en effet attendre le xive siècle (et surtout les xve et xvie siècles) pour que se rencontrent des verres dit de médecine et de pharmacie (urinaux, bocaux, ballon de chimie, alambics, lunettes…).
Fouiller et lire les décors peints pour révéler l’architecture

À la faveur du développement de l’archéologie préventive et d’une meilleure prise en compte progressive des peintures murales, les techniques de prélèvement et d’étude de ce mobilier ont été développées et adaptées à l’Inrap pour mieux répondre aux contraintes de ces fouilles. L’article expose donc, sous un angle méthodologique, les procédures de gestion des enduits peints sur l’ensemble de la chaîne opératoire, du diagnostic à la publication. Il évoque aussi quelques exemples du champ d’informations qu’on peut attendre de l’analyse toichographologique sous réserve de l’application d’un protocole de fouille adéquat.
L’argilière d’une tuilerie antique
Authors: Koenig Marie-Pierre
Published: February 2019

Grâce à la réalisation d’un vaste décapage, d’un échantillonnage raisonné sur le terrain et à une approche pluridisciplinaire, il a été possible d’aborder l’étude d’une argilière sur près de trois hectares à Crévéchamps. De nombreuses fosses quadrangulaires d’environ 1 à 2 m3, reliées entre elles par de petits fossés, permettaient l’évacuation de l’eau vers de grands fossés drainants. Des chemins favorisaient l’exploitation de cette argilière située dans une zone plus ou moins marécageuse. L’argile était destinée à alimenter un atelier de tuilier qu’il reste à localiser précisément. Les rares artefacts recueillis renvoient à une exploitation de l’argilière aux ier et iie siècles de notre ère ; une certaine pérennité de cette exploitation ne fait cependant aucun doute.

Actuellement considérée comme accueillant la plus importante agglomération potière du haut Moyen Âge jamais explorée, la commune de Saran (Loiret) a livré depuis bientôt 50 ans une quantité impressionnante de rebuts de cuissons. Au gré des recherches, leur examen attentif, couplé à celui des autres vestiges laissés par cet artisanat, a progressivement alimenté une histoire complexe de la chaîne opératoire potière, depuis la matière première jusqu’au produit fini. Les réponses apportées aux questionnements sur les traces discrètes visibles sur ces centaines de milliers de fragments de vases ratés éclairent d’un jour nouveau les gestes du potier, l’équipement de l’atelier, les moyens de production et plus globalement les savoir-faire.
La ficción en la imprenta hasta 1525
Authors: Lacarra María Jesús
Published: February 2019

En el artículo se traza un panorama de la prosa de ficción en la imprenta, desde la etapa incunable hasta 1525. En unos casos se imprimen textos de autores contemporáneos a la fecha de su edición, como ocurre con la Cárcel de amor o la Celestina, pero en otros son textos, escritos o traducidos, con anterioridad, que en los talleres se renuevan para satisfacer el gusto de los nuevos lectores. La agrupación genérica muestra cómo las prensas están ocupadas por la ficción caballeresca, bien sea con los nacientes libros de caballerías o con la narrativa caballeresca breve, pero, si atendemos al número de ediciones, sobresalen en el periodo estudiado la Celestina y, en menor medida, la Cárcel de amor. Impresores y lectores aproximarían estos géneros de éxito reutilizando grabados, imprimiendo conjuntamente algunas obras o encuadernando en un solo volumen los testimonios conservados.
Evolution of Microstructural and Mechanical Properties of Fiber Laser Welded Dual Phase Steels
Authors: Lakshminarayana P.V.S. , Gautam J. Prakash , Mastanaiah P. , Reddy G. Madhusudan , Bhanu Sankara Rao K.
Published: February 2019

Over the past decade, Dual Phase steels are extensively used in the automotive industry to reduce the weight of the vehicles. The Fiber laser welding has been showing superior weld quality over other laser welding methods. DP 600 grade is most widely used grade among DP steels. Influence of heat input on microstructural and mechanical properties for the given thickness has been investigated. Widths of weld zone and Heat Affected Zone have decreased with decreasing the heat input. Rapid cooling rates in the fusion zone have resulted in martensitic structure and hardness also increased in proportional. Tensile test and notch tensile test of the welded joints have been confirmed that weld joints are stronger than that the base material. From the ensile test along the weld joint of all heat inputs, it has been observed that lower heat input weld joints have shown better properties over the others.
Fluid Structure Interaction Analysis of Liquid Tanks by the Coupled SPH - FEM Method with Experimental Verification
Authors: Kusić Marina Sunara , Radnić Jure , Grgić Nikola , Harapin Alen
Published: February 2019

The paper presents the comparison of the results between the numerical model developed for the simulation of the fluid-structure interaction problem and the experimental tests. The model is based on the so called “partition scheme” in which the equations governing the fluid’s pressures and the equations governing the displacement of the structure are solved separately, with two distinct solvers. The SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) method is used for the fluid and the standard FEM (Finite Element Method), based on shell elements, is used for the structure. Then, the two solvers are coupled to obtain the coupled behaviour of the fluid structure system. The elasto plastic material model for the structure includes some important nonlinear effects like yielding in compression and tension. Previously experimentally tested (on a shaking table) rectangular tanks with rigid and deformable walls were used for the verification of the developed numerical model. A good agreement between the numerical and the experimental results clearly shows that the developed model is suitable and gives accurate results for such problems. The numerical model results are validated with the experimental results and can be a useful tool for analyzing the behaviour of liquid tanks of larger dimensions.

Published: February 2019

This paper focuses some fundamental aspects of combined convective and microwave drying of prolate spheroidal solids. A transient mathematical modeling based on the diffusion theory (mass and heat balance equations) written in prolate spheroidal coordinates was derived and the importance of this procedure on the analysis of the drying process of wet porous solid, is also presented. Results pointed to the behavior of the moisture migration and heating of the solid with different aspect ratio. Solids with higher area/volume relationships dry and heat faster.
Effect of Intermediate Heat Treatment on the Formation and Structure of Superconducting Layers in Multifilamentary Nb3Sn- Based Wires
Authors: Popova Elena N. , Deryagina I.L. , Valova-Zaharevskaya E.G.
Published: February 2019

In the present study, the Nb3Sn-based multifilamentary wires with coupled Nb filaments have been investigated by SEM and TEM after various regimes of intermediate annealing including short high-temperature heat treatments and after two-staged diffusion annealing. The formation of some amount of pre-reacted Nb3Sn layers has been revealed in all the wires studied, and their amount depends on the wire diameter, temperature and duration of the intermediate heat treatment. The structure of final diffusion layers is also affected by the regimes of these preliminary treatments. This research enables the revealing of the optimal heat treatment schedules for the formation of most perfect nanocrystalline structure of superconducting layers ensuring the highest critical current densities.
2019 Ejtm Special on Muscle Fascia
Authors: Stecco Carla , De Caro Raffaele
Published: February 2019

For many years the fasciae have been considered by the anatomists only as a “white envelope for the muscles”, that is generally removed in anatomical tables, to recognize muscle nerves and vessels. This is one of the reasons that different descriptions of the fasciae exist. On the other hand, in the last years the fasciae and their properties are becoming of central importance to clinicians practicing in various conventional and alternative therapies. The results from the worldwide research activities constitute a body of significant and important data, but this clinical interest is not supported by in-depth comprehension to how integrate the new knowledge about fasciae with the classical biomechanical models based on muscles, tendons and bones. To close this gap an Ejtm Special on “Muscle Fascia” will be published September 30, 2019, but the typescripts will be added to the Ejtm Early Release list as soon as all authors will approve their Epub papers. Deadline for original articles and reviews is June 1st, 2019, but the Editors hope that authors submit their typescripts much earlier.

Estratégias aplicadas no ensino da contabilidade: evidências dos planos de ensino de uma universidade pública
Authors: Marques Leandro , Biavatti Vania Tanira
Published: February 2019

Este estudo objetivou identificar as estratégias de ensino que são aplicadas com maior frequência no Curso de Graduação em Ciências Contábeis nas disciplinas oferecidas por um curso vinculado a uma Universidade Catarinense. Para tanto foi conduzida uma pesquisa descritiva, com abordagem quantitativa realizada por meio da análise documental dos planos de ensino da instituição. Foram analisados 614 planos de ensino, compreendendo um lapso temporal de dezesseis semestres. Os resultados demonstraram que as estratégias mais empregadas pelos docentes foram: exercícios, aulas expositivas, aulas expositivas dialogadas, estudo de texto, seminário, discussão e debate e estudo de caso.  Também verificou-se que os recursos didáticos mais utilizados são o projetor multimídia e o quadro. Pôde-se constatar que há diferenças de utilização de estratégias de acordo com o núcleo de conteúdo da disciplina, sendo que os planos de ensino do núcleo de formação básica foram os que apresentaram estratégias mais variadas, seguido pelas disciplinas da área gerencial. Constatou-se ainda diferenças de utilização de estratégia de acordo com a titulação do professor que ministra a disciplina, no entanto, infere-se que o grau de titulação do professor não interfere necessariamente no uso de estratégias de ensino variadas, visto que professor com doutorado acabaram apresentando menor repertório de estratégias declaradas.

Technical note: Bimodality in mesospheric OH rotational population distributions and implications for temperature measurements
Authors: Kalogerakis Konstantinos S.
Published: February 2019

Abstract. Emissions from the OH Meinel bands are routinely used to determine rotational
temperatures that are considered proxies for the kinetic temperature near the
mesopause region. Previous observations determined OH rotational temperatures
that show a dependence on the vibrational level, with the temperature rising
overall as the OH vibrational quantum number v increases. The source of
this trend is not well understood and has generally been attributed to
deviations from thermodynamic equilibrium. This technical note demonstrates
that the existence of bimodal OH rotational population distributions is an
inherent feature of rotational relaxation in gases and can provide an
explanation for the previously reported temperature trend. The use of only a
few lines from rotational transitions involving low rotational quantum
numbers to determine rotational temperatures does not account for the
bimodality of the OH rotational population distributions and leads to
systematic errors overestimating the OH rotational temperature. This note
presents selected examples, discusses the relevant implications, and
considers strategies that could lead to more reliable OH rotational
temperature determination.
Evaluation of Windsond S1H2 performance in Kumasi during the 2016 DACCIWA field campaign
Authors: Bessardon Geoffrey Elie Quentin , Fosu-Amankwah Kwabena , Petersson Anders , Brooks Barbara Jane
Published: February 2019

Abstract. Sparv Embedded, Sweden (http://windsond.com, last access: 22 February 2019), has answered the
call for less expensive but accurate reusable radiosondes by producing a
reusable sonde primarily intended for boundary-layer observations collection:
the Windsond S1H2. To evaluate the performance of the S1H2, in-flight
comparisons between the Vaisala RS41-SG and Windsond S1H2 were performed
during the Dynamics–Aerosol–Chemistry–Cloud Interactions in West Africa
(DACCIWA) project (FP7/2007–2013) ground campaign at the Kumasi Agromet supersite (6∘40′45.76′′ N, 1∘33′36.50′′ W) inside the
Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana, campus. The
results suggest a good correlation between the RS41-SG and S1H2 data, the
main difference lying in the GPS signal processing and the humidity response
time at cloud top. Reproducibility tests show that there is no major
performance degradation arising from S1H2 sonde reuse.
OPTIMIZATION OF GROUND CONTROL POINT (GCP) CONFIGURATION FOR UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV) SURVEY USING STRUCTURE FROM MOTION (SFM)
Authors: Villanueva J. K. S. , Blanco A. C.
Published: February 2019

Abstract. This research presents a method in assessing the impact of Ground Control Point (GCP) distribution, quantity, and inter-GCP distances on the output Digital Elevation Model (DEM) by utilizing SfM and GIS. The study was carried out in a quarry site to assess the impacts of these parameters on the accuracy of accurate volumetric measurements UAV derivatives. Based on GCP Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and surface checkpoint error (SCE), results showed that the best configuration is the evenly distributed GCP set (1.58 m average RMSE, 1.30 m average SCE). Configurations clumped to edge and distributed to edge follow suit with respective RMSE (SCE) of 2.53 m (2.13 m) and 3.11 m (2.54 m). The clumped to center configuration yielded 6.23 m RMSE and 4.66 m SCE. As the number of GCPs used increase, the RMSE and SCE are observed to decrease consistently for all configurations. Further iteration of the best configuration showed that from RMSE of 4.11 m when 4 GCPs are used, there is a drastic decrease to 0.86 m once 10 GCPs are used. From that quantity, only centimeter differences can be observed until the full set of 24 GCPs have been used with a 0.012 m error. This is reflected in the stockpile measurement when the iteration results are compared to the reference data. The dataset processed with a minimum of 4 GCPs have a 606,991.43 m3 difference, whereas the dataset processed with 23 out of 24 has a 791.12 m3 difference from the reference data. The accuracy of the SfM-based DEM increases with the quantity of the GCPs used with an even distribution.
A Child’s Capacity to Commit Crime: Examining the Operation of Doli Incapax in Victoria (Australia)
Authors: Fitz-Gibbon Kate , O'Brien Wendy
Published: February 2019

The rebuttable presumption of doli incapax is available in all Australian states and territories and provides that, where a child is unable to comprehend the distinction between actions that are ‘seriously wrong’ and those that are ‘naughty or mischievous’, they cannot be held criminally responsible for their actions. Despite the key role that doli incapax should play in diverting the youngest offenders away from the criminal justice system, its operation to date has been largely unexamined. This article seeks to directly address this gap. Drawing on the experiences of those involved in all aspects of the youth justice system, this article examines the need for, and the effectiveness of, the presumption of doli incapax in Victoria, Australia. Revealing inconsistencies in the use of the presumption, the article also examines the need for future reform of this area of law.
In coelo et in terra: Lutheran Theological Structure of the Troped Magnificats of Michael Praetorius’s Megalynodia Sionia
Authors: Ross Adrian D. J.
Published: February 2019

Michael Praetorius (1571–1621) ranks among the most prolific German musical figures of the seventeenth century. Despite his stature, many of his works, especially his earlier collections, remain largely understudied and underperformed. This paper examines one such early collection, the Megalynodia Sionia, composed in 1602, focussing on the relationship between formal structure of its first three Magnificat settings and the Lutheran theological ideal of uniting the Word of God with music. Structurally, these three Magnificats are distinguished by their interpolation of German chorales within the Latin text. In order to understand his motivations and influences behind the use of this technique unique at the time of composition, the paper explores Praetorius’s religious surroundings in both the personal and civic realms, revealing a strong tradition of orthodox Lutheran theology. To understand the music in light of this religious context, certain orthodox Lutheran liturgical practices are examined, in particular the Vespers service and alternatim, a compositional technique using alternating performing forces which Praetorius used to unite the Latin and German texts. Referencing Praetorius’s own theoretical writings, this paper proposes a relation between alternatim and the concerto principle. Analysis of Praetorius’s use of this technique as the large-scale form of the Magnificats in the context of his writings and beliefs ultimately suggests a union between Praetorius’s structural compositional decisions and Lutheran beliefs.
Behind the Bandstand: Jay G. Sims and the Internal Workings of the Sousa Band
Authors: McAlister Caitlin D.
Published: February 2019

From 1919 to 1932 trombonist, Jay G. Sims, served as the personnel manager for the Sousa Band. The Harry Ransom Center at University of Texas at Austin holds Sim's business correspondences which divulge his crucial role in the band’s operations, shedding light on his contributions to the band's success as a touring group. Notwithstanding so, there is relatively little information about him in the existing scholarship on John Philip Sousa and the Sousa Band. This paper explores Sims’ position as personnel manager for the Sousa Band through an examination of his correspondences. There is particular focus on his day-to-day functions, including his input on hiring decisions and recruitment of members, as well as purchasing of equipment for the band’s performances. Furthermore, Sims’ correspondence offers a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse of the Sousa Band, one of the most famous touring musical groups of the early-twentieth century. By using Sims’ own documents as a primary source, it is possible through letters and invoices, not only to determine the exact nature of Sims’ role within the Sousa Band, but also how his administrative position impacted the band’s operations.
A Mythic Heroine in Der Rosenkavalier
Authors: Ramzy Bridget
Published: February 2019

This paper explores the Allomatische—Strauss and Hofmannsthal's concept of transformation by means of taking risk—through its application to Der Rosenkavalier's Marie-Therese (the Marschallin). The Allomatische’s very apparent presence throughout Strauss and Hofmannsthal’s collaborations in their “mythic” operas, urges its examination in Der Rosenkavlier. This paper explores the Marschallin's risk in context of gender, arguing that her self-acceptance as an ageing woman is an exceedingly brave act, that in-turn transforms her. In this paper, a character study of the Marschallin in Act I before the transformation, and after in Act III is presented and corroborated by interspersed musical examples. A comparison with other characters, both male and female, further establishes the gendered context of the Marschallin's risk. In conclusion, the Marschallin's brave risk of self-acceptance as an aging woman transforms her, and places her in the pantheon of Strauss and Hofmannsthal's mythic heroines.
Fleeting Fairy Footprints: Trails of Influence in a Debussy Prelude
Authors: Clark Michael
Published: February 2019

The titles of Claude Debussy’s twenty-four preludes for solo piano contain many references to places, scenes, and characters, reflecting the composer’s extensive knowledge of music, art, and literature and their influence upon his work. This study explores the rich history of the fourth prelude from book two, “Les fées sont d’exquises danseuses" (“The Fairies Are Exquisite Dancers”). The title “Les fées sont d’exquises danseuses,” set in quotation marks by Debussy himself, indicates the immediate inspiration for the piece: the caption to an illustration by English artist Arthur Rackham in J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan in Kensington Garden (Siglind Bruhn, Images and Ideas in Modern French Piano Music (Stuyvesant: Pendragon Press, 1997), 150.)
My research asserts that Debussy’s musical portrayal of this illustration draws heavily on characteristics of nineteenth century fairy style, popularized by Mendelssohn in his Overture to A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1826). My study compares the musical content of Debussy’s prelude to the characteristic features of fairy style pioneered by Mendelssohn. In addition, this essay includes an overview of Debussy’s great admiration for the music of Carl Maria von Weber and contends that musical features that Debussy admired in Weber can be seen in Debussy’s own composition through both a direct reference and broader musical principles at work in the middle section of the piece.
Anton Weidinger and the Emergence of His Voice: The Keyed Trumpet
Authors: Sexton Jeremy W.
Published: February 2019

This paper examines Anton Weidinger, the 18th- and early 19th-century keyed trumpet player for whom Joseph Haydn and Johann Nepomuk Hummel composed their trumpet concerti. As the most successful of many attempts to chromaticize the trumpet in the late 18th century, during which the Baroque clarino style of trumpet-playing was waning, Weidinger’s keyed trumpet enjoyed a short-lived period of prominence from about 1800 to 1804, the period during which Weidinger premiered these two concerti. Subsequently, the keyed trumpet declined in popularity, and eventually it was replaced by the valve trumpet. Both concerti emphasize the chromatic capabilities of the new instrument. A detailed examination of some passages from the third movements of the two concerti suggests a deliberate attempt on the part of Hummel (perhaps under Weidinger’s influence) to “quote” and outdo the most virtuosic passages in the Haydn concerto and to cast the new instrument as capable of playing in a “singing” operatic style. Musical quotation from Luigi Cherubini’s opera Les Deux Journées further cements the implicit connection Hummel draws between the keyed trumpet and opera (and, by extension, the human voice). The paper concludes that Weidinger and Hummel sought, in Hummel’s concerto, to announce to the musical world that the trumpet was ready to move beyond its Classical status as a tutti instrument. Though the success of Weidinger and his keyed trumpet was transient, the two concerti composed for him today stand as cornerstones of the solo trumpet literature.
The roots of measurement
Authors: Henderson Robert
Published: February 2019

In addition to roots for familiar classes like verb, noun, and adjective, Mayan languages have a class of roots traditionally called “positional”. Positional roots are distinct from other roots most prominently in terms of requiring derivation into stems of one of the more familiar categories to be used. The goal of this work is to show that the behavior of positionals follows from semantic facts, in particular, the fact that they denote measure functions of type ⟨e,d⟩. This conclusion is supported through a series of novel arguments from the Mayan language Kaqchikel that positional roots have a scalar semantics. It then argues for the type ⟨e,d⟩ analysis by contrasting them with gradable root adjectives, which similarly make reference to ordered degrees on a scale, but which have a relational type—namely, ⟨d,et⟩. I then show that a core function of positional morphology, and the morpheme that derives positional stative predicates in particular, is to take positional roots into stems of type ⟨d,et⟩, which will account for the fact that derived positionals behave semantically like root adjectives. In this way, this work not only presents a novel account of the Mayan data, but provide additional evidence for the proposal that even within languages there can be differences in the fine-grained compositional structure of degree-denoting expressions.
