Soundscape Case Study: A Tudor Soundscape in a Historic House Chapel – Origins, Challenges and Evaluation
Authors: Brooks Jeanice , Kaufman Lucy , Tyler‐Jones Matthew 
Published: July 2019

AbstractDuring an extensive conservation project in 2017, the National Trust, working with academics from Oxford, Southampton and Bangor Universities and drawing on research in the re‐enactment of medieval liturgy, experimented with a soundscape installation at The Vyne, a manor house near Basingstoke. Dealing with the challenge of telling a Tudor story without a contemporaneous collection, the soundscape deployed specially commissioned new recordings of Tudor polyphony and plainsong, spoken and intoned prayers, and Foley effects to simulate the celebration of Mass in The Vyne's pre‐Reformation chapel. The soundscape imagines a moment in 1535 when Henry VIII attended a Lady Mass, surveying the service from his position of power in the lord's chambers above the chapel. It places visitors at the heart of a politically‐charged time for both his religious reforms and his marriage, standing where his officers of the church would have stood as the liturgy and Nicholas Ludford's elaborate polyphonic music unfolded around them. Although the soundscape provides a model for using sound in immersive storytelling in fragile historic house environments, evidence of impact on visitors is limited by current evaluation methods commonly employed in the sector. This case study describes the rationale and construction of the soundscape, evaluates existing evidence for impact on visitors, and proposes alternatives for better evaluating historic house soundscapes.
Sounding the Museum: A Shared Reflection on the Chou Hayda (What is this?) Intervention at the National Museum of Beirut
Authors: Abi Khalil Amanda , Daou Annabel , Mishlawi Nadim 
Published: July 2019

AbstractIn November of 2017, people from across Beirut came to the National Museum and gave their voices to a number of archaeological objects in the collection. The people spoke to, for and about these objects from the past, and, in doing so, they revealed fragments of the present. They did not attempt to disclose a cohesive historical narrative. Nor did they attempt to create a fiction. They did not lie and they did not try to tell the truth. Mathaf Mathaf/Chou Hayda is a project and artwork which takes the format of the museum audio‐guide. Grounded in the field of participatory social art practice, it reverses the traditional way an audience engages with a museum collection. Objects from the past were activated by a series of questions the participants responded to, referencing elements from their own lives and reflecting on Lebanon's current social and political reality. The objects took on a new role by being given a voice in the present, and the participants occupied an engaged and enduring position in the framework of the museum by virtue of having their responses recorded for an audio‐guide that will be used by other visitors to the museum. The final audio (visual) piece includes a myriad of voices: the artist's voice, the responses of the participants and two recurring voices of professional actors whose narrations weave through the piece, giving a hint of formality to the structure of the work. The contribution takes the form of a conversation in three voices between the artist (Annabel Daou), the curator (Amanda Abi Khalil) and the project's sound artist and composer (Nadim Mishlawi). It focuses on vocality's role in knowledge production within museum/institutional contexts and its power to shift received notions of authority and access within and outside of the institution.
Preserving Functionality: Keeping Artefacts ‘Alive’ In Museums
Authors: Rossi Rognoni Gabriele 
Published: July 2019

AbstractAccording to a recent article, ‘Instrument museums are mausoleums, places for the display of the musically dead, with organologists acting as morticians, preparing dead instrument bodies for preservation and display’. This view, often repeated since the 1960s, reflects the frustration experienced by most museum visitors facing objects stripped of their function and presented as aestheticized icons. Curatorial debate has led to the development of several alternative proposals to deliver a culturally engaging presentation of musical objects. However, none has managed to efficiently replace the expectation of museums visitors to appreciate the object in its functional state. Moreover, debate over the role of museums in preserving intangible – as well as tangible – heritage stimulated further consideration of the importance of preserving/presenting functionality of music‐related objects. While some authors have developed specific music‐related perspectives (e.g. Barclay R. [2005]. The Preservation and Use of Historic Musical Instruments: Display Case and Concert Hall), little or no cross‐fertilisation has happened with the much broader world of functional objects in museums, which includes at least scientific, technologic and mechanical objects and those pertaining to daily lives. The article will offer an overview of current debate, approaches and policies for the preservation and display of functionality in a variety of non‐music related museums, with a parallel perspective on the current approach to musical instruments.
“The longer we heard, the more we looked” Music at the Victoria and Albert Museum
Authors: Bailey Kate , Broackes Victoria , de Visscher Eric 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThe Victoria and Albert Museum, as the world's leading museum of art, design and performance, has a long‐standing engagement with music, being among the first European museums to collect and exhibit musical instruments, and to integrate sound‐related artefacts into many of its collections. This is due to its particular history as well as the personality and interests of its forefathers. This involvement with music has been made particularly spectacular through ground‐breaking exhibitions devoted to rock music but also tackling a particular genre like classical opera. This article looks first at the V&A's relation to sound through an historical perspective, followed by an overview of the most innovative examples of sound‐related exhibitions and a specific exhibition case study.
Initial management and long‐term follow up after the rehabilitation of a patient with severe dentoalveolar trauma: A case report
Authors: Soo Suet Yeo , Satterthwaite Julian D. , Ashley Martin 
Published: July 2019

AbstractDental trauma is common and for patients who suffer significant oral injuries, rehabilitation can be challenging to the clinical team. This case report describes the successful prosthetic replacement of multiple missing teeth lost due to severe dentoalveolar trauma, using iliac crest bone grafting, an implant‐retained removable dental prosthesis and implant‐supported crowns. Good functionality and aesthetic outcome were achieved.
A mother’s legacy: the strength of maternal effects in animal populations
Authors: Moore Michael P. , Whiteman Howard H. , Martin Ryan A. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractAlthough mothers influence the traits of their offspring in many ways beyond the transmission of genes, it remains unclear how important such ‘maternal effects’ are to phenotypic differences among individuals. Synthesizing estimates derived from detailed pedigrees, we evaluated the amount of phenotypic variation determined by maternal effects in animal populations. Maternal effects account for half as much phenotypic variation within populations as do additive genetic effects. Maternal effects most greatly affect morphology and phenology but, surprisingly, are not stronger in species with prolonged maternal care than in species without. While maternal effects influence juvenile traits more than adult traits on average, they do not decline across ontogeny for behaviour or physiology, and they do not weaken across the life cycle in species without maternal care. These findings underscore maternal effects as an important source of phenotypic variation and emphasise their potential to affect many ecological and evolutionary processes.
Alternating optimization to solve penalized regression‐based clustering model
Authors: Barati Mohammad , Jalali Mehrdad , Forghani Yahya 
Published: July 2019

AbstractTwo previously proposed heuristic algorithms for solving penalized regression‐based clustering model (PRClust) are (a) an algorithm that combines the difference‐of‐convex programming with a coordinate‐wise descent (DC‐CD) algorithm and (b) an algorithm that combines DC with the alternating direction method of multipliers (DC‐ADMM). In this paper, a faster method is proposed for solving PRClust. DC‐CD uses p × n × (n − 1)/2 slack variables to solve PRClust, where n is the number of data and p is the number of their features. In each iteration of DC‐CD, these slack variable and cluster centres are updated using a second‐order cone programming (SOCP). DC‐ADMM uses p × n × (n − 1) slack variables. In each iteration of DC‐ADMM, these slack variables and cluster centres are updated using ADMM. In this paper, PRClust is reformulated into an equivalent model to be solved using alternating optimization. Our proposed algorithm needs only n × (n − 1)/2 slack variables, which is much less than that of DC‐CD and DC‐ADMM and updates them analytically using a simple equation in each iteration of the algorithm. Our proposed algorithm updates only cluster centres using an SOCP. Therefore, our proposed SOCP is much smaller than that of DC‐CD, which is used to update both cluster centres and slack variables. Experimental results on real datasets confirm that our proposed method is faster and much faster than DC‐ADMM and DC‐CD, respectively.

AbstractThe role of O2 in the evolution of early animals, as represented by some members of the Ediacara biota, has been heavily debated because current geochemical evidence paints a conflicting picture regarding global marine O2 levels during key intervals of the rise and fall of the Ediacara biota. Fossil evidence indicates that the diversification the Ediacara biota occurred during or shortly after the Ediacaran Shuram negative C‐isotope Excursion (SE), which is often interpreted to reflect ocean oxygenation. However, there is conflicting evidence regarding ocean oxygen levels during the SE and the middle Ediacaran Period. To help resolve this debate, we examined U isotope variations (δ238U) in three carbonate sections from South China, Siberia, and USA that record the SE. The δ238U data from all three sections are in excellent agreement and reveal the largest positive shift in δ238U ever reported in the geologic record (from ~ −0.74‰ to ~ −0.26‰). Quantitative modeling of these data suggests that the global ocean switched from a largely anoxic state (26%–100% of the seafloor overlain by anoxic waters) to near‐modern levels of ocean oxygenation during the SE. This episode of ocean oxygenation is broadly coincident with the rise of the Ediacara biota. Following this initial radiation, the Ediacara biota persisted until the terminal Ediacaran period, when recently published U isotope data indicate a return to more widespread ocean anoxia. Taken together, it appears that global marine redox changes drove the rise and fall of the Ediacara biota.

AbstractAimTo describe an in vitro experimental model of cystic structure formation to conduct research on radicular cyst development.MethodologyTo form spheroid structures, various numbers (1 × 104, 5 × 104 or 1 × 105) of epithelial cells (HaCaT and Cal27) were seeded in 96‐well plates previously coated with 1.5% low‐melting agarose. After 24 h, the spheroids were collected, embedded in 3D collagen matrix and transferred to 24‐well plates previously coated with polymerized collagen and kept for up to 21 days. Images of spheroids were captured at each time‐point (1, 5, 9, 15 and 21 days), and samples underwent histological and confocal microscopy analyses. Spheroid area, perimeter and cell dispersion were measured. One‐way Anova was used for statistical analysis.ResultsBoth epithelial cell lines were able to generate regular and circular spheroids after 24 h of incubation regardless of cell density. Spheroid structures in the collagen matrix were uniform in most samples until day 15, when several spots that appeared to be new cultures were seen. Spheroids from HaCaT were significantly more stable than those from Cal27 (P < 0.05). Starting on the third day, the examination of histological sections revealed a cavity with epithelial lining morphology, similar to a pathological radicular cyst.ConclusionsThis study describes an experimental model of cystogenesis in vitro that may be used to test theories and investigates the effects of different growth factors during cyst development and maintenance.
More than Money: The Importance of Social Exchanges for Temporary Low‐Skilled Migrant Workers’ Workplace Satisfaction
Authors: Chang Eunmi , Chin Hyun , Lee Jeongwon , Chung Ki‐Seon 
Published: July 2019

AbstractResearch has focused on the happiness of immigrants, but the workplace satisfaction of temporary low‐skilled migrant workers has rarely been explored. By utilizing survey data for two years, 2010 and 2013, along with interviews with migrant workers, we explored how economic or social factors could trigger diverse impacts on the satisfaction of temporary low‐skilled migrant workers in different work environments. Results showed that economic factors triggered more notable impacts in 2010, while the importance of social factors increased with improvements in work environments in 2013. The results indicated that moving motive premises and social exchange theory effectively explain attitudes of temporary low‐skilled migrant workers. Theoretical and practical contributions and suggestions of the results are also included.
An interactive algorithm for multiobjective ranking for underlying linear and quasiconcave value functions
Authors: Tezcaner Öztürk Diclehan , Köksalan Murat 
Published: July 2019

AbstractWe develop interactive algorithms to find a strict total order for a set of discrete alternatives for two different value functions: linear and quasiconcave. The algorithms first construct a preference matrix and then find a strict total order. Based on the ordering, they select a meaningful pair of alternatives to present the decision maker (DM) for comparison. We employ methods to find all implied preferences of the DM, after he or she makes a preference. Considering all the preferences of the DM, the preference matrix is updated and a new strict total order is obtained until the termination conditions are met. We test the algorithms on several instances. The algorithms show fast convergence to the exact total order for both value functions, and eliciting preference information progressively proves to be efficient.
Accounting for Rater Effects With the Hierarchical Rater Model Framework When Scoring Simple Structured Constructed Response Tests
Authors: Nieto Ricardo , Casabianca Jodi M. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractMany large‐scale assessments are designed to yield two or more scores for an individual by administering multiple sections measuring different but related skills. Multidimensional tests, or more specifically, simple structured tests, such as these rely on multiple multiple‐choice and/or constructed responses sections of items to generate multiple scores. In the current article, we propose an extension of the hierarchical rater model (HRM) to be applied with simple structured tests with constructed response items. In addition to modeling the appropriate trait structure, the multidimensional HRM (M‐HRM) presented here also accounts for rater severity bias and rater variability or inconsistency. We introduce the model formulation, test parameter recovery with a focus on latent traits, and compare the M‐HRM to other scoring approaches (unidimensional HRMs and a traditional multidimensional item response theory model) using simulated and empirical data. Results show more precise scores under the M‐HRM, with a major improvement in scores when incorporating rater effects versus ignoring them in the traditional multidimensional item response theory model.

AbstractIn this study, the inverted trophic hypothesis was tested in the freshwater fish communities of a reservoir. The distribution of fish species in three freshwater habitats in the Jurumirim Reservoir, Brazil, was examined using both species richness and the relative proportions of different trophic groups. These groups were used as a proxy for functional structure in an attempt to test the ability of these measures to assess fish diversity. Assemblage structures were first described using non‐metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS). The influence of environmental conditions for multiple fish assemblage response variables (richness, total abundance and abundance per trophic group) was tested using generalised linear mixed models (GLMM). The metric typically employed to describe diversity; that is, species richness, was not related to environmental conditions. However, absolute species abundance was relatively well explained with up to 54% of the variation in the observed data accounted for. Differences in the dominance of trophic groups were most apparent in response to the presence of introduced fish species: the iliophagous and piscivorous trophic groups were positively associated, while detritivores and herbivores were negatively associated, with the alien species. This suggests that monitoring functional diversity might be more valuable than species diversity for assessing effects of disturbances and managements policies on the fish community.
An evidence based approach to evaluating flood adaptation effectiveness including climate change considerations for coastal cities: City of Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
Authors: Prakash Mahesh , Cohen Raymond , Hilton James , Khan Shariar H. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractCoastal cities provide a modelling challenge as surface flow is strongly affected by urban drainage networks and there is interaction between coastal and inland flooding. We present a graphics processing unit (GPU)‐based hydrodynamic model coupled to a hydraulic network that integrates adaptation analysis in the context of current and future flooding. The hydrodynamic model is based on a finite volume implementation of the shallow water equations formulated for overland flow. The hydraulic network is based on a pressure relaxation method, and uses a GPU‐based sparse matrix solver for computational speed. The integrated model is used for modelling potential combined coastal and catchment inundation and climate adaptation analysis for the City of Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia. The key outcome from the adaptation study was that resources spent towards adaptation infrastructure should be investigated in the context of sea level rise (SLR) at least for the next 50 years. The adaptation analysis identified “a tipping point” beyond a SLR of around 0.4 m (expected in the next 30 years) where conventional adaptation approaches will fail. This outcome has resulted in the City realising that significant changes in infrastructure for the region will be necessary rather than just incremental adaptation approaches to deal with future flooding.

AbstractThe use of bisphosphonates for osteoporosis patients has markedly decreased the incidence of femoral neck or trochanteric fractures. However, anti‐osteoporosis drugs have been reported to increase the incidence of atypical femoral fractures, which involve stress fractures in the subtrochanteric region or the proximal diaphysis. In this study, the morphological characteristics of the cortical bone in human femoral diaphysis samples were analyzed from individuals who lived before bisphosphonate drugs were available in Japan. A total of 90 right femoral bones were arbitrarily selected (46 males and 44 females) from modern Japanese skeletal specimens. Full‐length images of these femurs were acquired using a computed tomography scanner. An image processing method for binarization was used to calculate the threshold values of individual bones for determining their contours. The range between the lower end of the lesser trochanter and the adductor tubercle of each femur was divided at regular intervals to obtain 10 planes. The mean value of cortical bone thickness, periosteal border length, and the cortical cross‐sectional area was evaluated for all planes. Moreover, the ratio of the area of the cortical bone to the total area of cross‐section at the mid‐diaphysis was calculated. A comparison between males and females demonstrated that most females had lower cortical bone area ratios at the mid‐diaphysis. The femoral outer shape did not differ markedly according to age or sex; however, substantial individual differences were observed in the shape of the inner surface of the cortical bone. The cortical bone thickness and the cross‐sectional area decreased with age in the femoral diaphysis; furthermore, in females, the decrease was higher for the former than for the latter. This may be due to a compensatory increase in the circumference of the femoral diaphysis. In addition, in about half of the subjects there was a discrepancy between the region with maximal value of the cortical bone thickness and that of the total cross‐sectional area. Biological responses to mechanical stresses to the femoral diaphysis are thought not to be uniform. Bisphosphonates inhibit bone resorption and may promote non‐physiological bone remodeling. Thus, a nonhomogeneous decrease in cortical thickness may be related to the fracture occurrence in the femoral diaphysis in some cases. Thus, long‐term administration of bisphosphonates in patients with morphological vulnerability in the femoral cortical bones may increase the occurrence of atypical femoral fractures.
