Long and Winding Roads
Authors: Womack Kenneth 
Published: March 2017

In Long and Winding Roads: The Evolving Artistry of the Beatles, Kenneth Womack brings the band’s story vividly to life-from their salad days as a Liverpool Skiffle group and their apprenticeship in the nightclubs and mean streets of Hamburg through their early triumphs at the legendary Cavern Club and the massive onslaught of Beatlemania itself. By mapping the group’s development as an artistic fusion, Womack traces the Beatles’ creative arc from their first, primitive recordings through Abbey Road and the twilight of their career.
In order to communicate the nature and power of the band’s remarkable achievement, Womack examines the Beatles’ body of work as an evolving art object. He investigates the origins and creation of the group’s compositions, as well as the songwriting and recording practices that brought them to fruition. Womack’s analysis of the Beatles’ albums transports readers on a journey through the Beatles’ heyday as recording artists between 1962 and 1969, when the band enjoyed a staggering musical and lyrical leap that took them from their first album Please Please Me, which they recorded in the space of a single day, to Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, the White Album, and Abbey Road-albums that collectively required literally thousands of hours to produce. In addition to considering the band’s increasing self-consciousness about the overall production, design, and presentation of their art, Womack explores the Beatles’ albums as a collection of musical and lyrical impressions that finds them working towards a sense of aesthetic unity. In Long and Winding Roads, Womack reveals the ways in which the Beatles gave life to a musical synthesis that would change the world.
Andrew W.K.’s I Get Wet
Authors: Crandall Phillip 
Published: March 2017

“It’s Time To Party,” the first track off of I Get Wet, opens with a rapid-fire guitar line - nothing fancy, just a couple crunchy power chords to acclimate the ears - repeated twice before a booming bass drum joins in to provide a quarter-note countdown. A faint, swirling effect intensifies with each bass kick and, by the eighth one, the ears have prepped themselves for the metal mayhem they are about to receive. When it all drops, and the joyous onslaught of a hundred guitars is finally realized, you'll have to forgive your ears for being duped into a false sense of security, because it's that second intensified drop a few seconds later - the one where yet more guitars manifest and Andrew W.K. slam-plants his vocal flag by screaming the song's titular line - that really floods the brain with endorphins, serotonin, dopamine, and whatever else formulates invincibility.
Polished to a bright overdubbed-to-oblivion sheen, the party-preaching I Get Wet didn’t capture the zeitgeist of rock at the turn of the century; it captured the timelessness of youth, as energized, awesome, and unapologetically stupid as ever. With insights from friends and unprecedented help from the mythological maniac himself - whose sermon and pop sensibilities continue to polarize - this book chronicles the sound's evolution, uncovers the relevance of Steev Mike, and examines how Andrew W.K.'s inviting, inclusive lyrics create the ultimate shared experience between artist and audience.
Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited
Authors: Polizzotti Mark 
Published: March 2017

Highway 61 Revisited resonates because of its enduring emotional appeal. Few songwriters before Dylan or since have combined so effectively the intensely personal with the spectacularly universal. In “Like a Rolling Stone,“ his gleeful excoriation of Miss Lonely (Edie Sedgwick? Joan Baez? a composite “type”?) fuses with the evocation of a hip new zeitgeist to produce a veritable anthem. In “Ballad of a Thin Man,” the younger generation’s confusion is thrown back in the Establishment’s face, even as Dylan vents his disgust with the critics who labored to catalogue him. And in “Desolation Row,” he reaches the zenith of his own brand of surrealist paranoia, that here attains the atmospheric intensity of a full-fledged nightmare. Between its many flourishes of gallows humor, this is one of the most immaculately frightful songs ever recorded, with its relentless imagery of communal executions, its parade of fallen giants and triumphant local losers, its epic length and even the mournful sweetness of Bloomfield's flamenco-inspired fills.
In this book, Mark Polizzotti examines just what makes the songs on Highway 61 Revisited so affecting, how they work together as a suite, and how lyrics, melody, and arrangements combine to create an unusually potent mix. He blends musical and literary analysis of the songs themselves, biography (where appropriate) and recording information (where helpful). And he focuses on Dylan's mythic presence in the mid-60s, when he emerged from his proletarian incarnation to become the American Rimbaud. The comparison has been made by others, including Dylan, and it illuminates much about his mid-sixties career, for in many respects Highway 61 is rock ‘n’ roll’s answer to A Season in Hell.
Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A.
Authors: Himes Geoffrey 
Published: March 2017

When Bruce Springsteen went back on the road in 1984, he opened every show by shouting out, “one, two, one, two, three, four,” followed by the droning synth chords of Born in the U.S.A. Max Weinberg hit his drums with a two-fisted physicality that cut through the swelling chords. With a rolled-up red kerchief around his head and heavy black boots under his faded jeans, Springsteen looked like the character of the song, and from the very first line (“Born down in a dead man’s town”) he sang with the throat-scraping desperation of a man with his back against the wall.
When he reached the crucial lines, though, the guitars and bass dropped out and Weinberg switched to just the hi-hat. Springsteen’s voice grew a bit more private and reluctant as he sang, “Nowhere to run. Nowhere to go.” It was as if he weren’t sure if this were an admission of defeat or the drawing of a line in the sand. But when the band came crashing back at full strength-building a crescendo that fell apart in the cacophony of Springsteen’s and Weinberg’s wild soloing, paused and then came together again in the determined, marching riff-it was clear that the singer was ready to make a stand.
Led Zeppelin’s Led Zeppelin IV
Authors: Davis Erik 
Published: March 2017

In this wickedly entertaining and thoroughly informed homage to one of rock music’s towering pinnacles, Erik Davis investigates the magic-black or otherwise-that surrounds this album. Carefully peeling the layers from each song, Davis reveals their dark and often mystical roots-and leaves the reader to decide whether Led Zeppelin IV is some form of occult induction or just an inspired, brilliantly played rock album.
Stripping Led Zeppelin’s famous name off the fourth record was an almost petulant attempt to let their Great Work symbolically stand on its own two feet. But the wordless jacket also lent the album charisma. Fans hunted for hidden meanings, or, in failing to find them, sensed a strange reflection of their own mute refusal to communicate with the outside world. This helped to create one of the supreme paradoxes of rock history: an esoteric megahit, a blockbuster arcanum. Stripped of words and numbers, the album no longer referred to anything but itself: a concrete talisman that drew you into its world, into the frame. All the stopgap titles we throw at the thing are lame: Led Zeppelin IV, [Untitled], Runes, Zoso, Four Symbols. In an almost Lovecraftian sense, the album was nameless, a thing from beyond, charged with manna. And yet this uncanny fetish was about as easy to buy as a jockstrap.
Pavement's Wowee Zowee
Authors: Charles Bryan 
Published: March 2017

Pavement wrapped up at Easley Recording in Memphis. They mixed the tracks and recorded overdubs in New York. They took a step back and assessed the material. It was a wild scene. They had fully fleshed-out songs and whispers and rumors of half-formed ones. They had songs that followed a hard-to-gauge internal logic. They had punk tunes and country tunes and sad tunes and funny ones. They had fuzzy pop and angular new wave. They had raunchy guitar solos and stoner blues. They had pristine jangle and pedal steel. The final track list ran to eighteen songs and filled three sides of vinyl.
Released in 1995, on the heels of two instant classics, Wowee Zowee confounded Pavement’s audience. Yet the record has grown in stature and many diehard fans now consider it Pavement’s best. Weaving personal history and reporting-including extensive new interviews with the band-Bryan Charles goes searching for the story behind the record and finds a piece of art as elusive, anarchic and transportive now as it was then.
Richard and Linda Thompson's Shoot Out the Lights
Authors: Childs Hayden 
Published: March 2017

In the fall of 1980 Richard and Linda Thompson (of Fairport Convention fame) had recently been dumped from their record label and were on the verge of divorce. Somehow they overcame these miserable circumstances and managed to make an album considered by many to be a masterpiece.
Shoot Out The Lights puts the album-from the personal history driving the songs, to the recording difficulties they encountered and the subsequent fall-out-in context. This is a brilliant, emotional book about a brilliant, emotional album.
Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life
Authors: Lundy Zeth 
Published: March 2017

Like all double albums, Songs in the Key of Life is imperfect but audacious. If its titular concern - life - doesn’t exactly allow for rigid focus, it’s still a fiercely inspired collection of songs and one of the definitive soul records of the 1970s. Stevie Wonder was unable to control the springs of his creativity during that decade. Upon turning 21 in 1971, he freed himself from the Motown contract he’d been saddled with as a child performer, renegotiated the terms, and unleashed hundreds of songs to tape. Over the next five years, Wonder would amass countless recordings and release his five greatest albums - as prolific a golden period as there has ever been in contemporary music. But Songs in the Key of Life is different from the four albums that preceded it; it’s an overstuffed, overjoyed, maddeningly ambitious encapsulation of all the progress Stevie Wonder had made in that short space of time.
Zeth Lundy’s book, in keeping with the album’s themes, is structured as a life cycle. It’s divided into the following sections: Birth; Innocence/Adolescence; Experience/Adulthood; Death; Rebirth. Within this framework, Zeth Lundy covers Stevie Wonder’s excessive work habits and recording methodology, his reliance on synthesizers, the album’s place in the gospel-inspired progression of 1970s R’n’B, and many other subjects.
They Might Be Giants’ Flood
Authors: Reed S. Alexander , Sandifer Philip 
Published: March 2017

For a few decades now, They Might Be Giants' album Flood has been a beacon (or at least a nightlight) for people who might rather read than rock out, who care more about science fiction than Slayer, who are more often called clever than cool. Neither the band’s hip origins in the Lower East Side scene nor Flood’s platinum certification can cover up the record’s singular importance at the geek fringes of culture.
Flood’s significance to this audience helps us understand a certain way of being: it shows that geek identity doesn’t depend on references to Hobbits or Spock ears, but can instead be a set of creative and interpretive practices marked by playful excess-a flood of ideas.
The album also clarifies an historical moment. The brainy sort of kids who listened to They Might Be Giants saw their own cultural options grow explosively during the late 1980s and early 1990s amid the early tech boom and America’s advancing leftist social tides. Whether or not it was the band’s intention, Flood’s jubilant proclamation of an identity unconcerned with coolness found an ideal audience at an ideal turning point. This book tells the story.
Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty in an Eye with Fuchs Endothelial Dystrophy and Keratoconus
Authors: Cooper Elizabeth , Parker Jack S. , Parker John S. , Melles Gerrit R.J. 
Published: March 2017

Purpose To report a case of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) performed with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation (triple procedure) for coexisting keratoconus (KC), Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (FED), and visually significant cataract. Case description One eye of one patient with moderate and stable KC, FED, and visually significant cataract was treated with combined DMEK and phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation (triple procedure). Visual acuity and corneal reflectivity/densitometry, thickness, and topographic measurements were recorded and compared to their preoperative values. At all postoperative time points, the endothelial graft was found to be completely attached. By 3 months postoperatively, the patient's best spectacle corrected vision had improved from 20/50 (0.4) to 20/25 (0.8) where it remained stable. No intra- or postoperative complications were experienced. Conclusions DMEK may be an effective alternative to penetrating keratoplasty in eyes with coexisting stable KC and FED.

Mountain colonisation, miniaturisation and ecological evolution in a radiation of direct-developing New Guinea Frogs (Choerophryne, Microhylidae)
Authors: Oliver Paul M. , Iannella Amy , Richards Stephen J. , Lee Michael S.Y. 
Published: March 2017

AimsMountain ranges in the tropics are characterised by high levels of localised endemism, often-aberrant evolutionary trajectories, and some of the world’s most diverse regional biotas. Here we investigate the evolution of montane endemism, ecology and body size in a clade of direct-developing frogs (Choerophryne,Microhylidae) from New Guinea.MethodsPhylogenetic relationships were estimated from a mitochondrial molecular dataset using Bayesian and maximum likelihood approaches. Ancestral state reconstruction was used to infer the evolution of elevational distribution, ecology (indexed by male calling height), and body size, and phylogenetically corrected regression was employed to examine the relationships between these three traits.ResultsWe obtained strong support for a monophyletic lineage comprising the majority of taxa sampled. Within this clade we identified one subclade that appears to have diversified primarily in montane habitats of the Central Cordillera (>1,000 m a.s.l.), with subsequent dispersal to isolated North Papuan Mountains. A second subclade (characterised by moderately to very elongated snouts) appears to have diversified primarily in hill forests (<1,000 m a.s.l.), with inferred independent upwards colonisations of isolated montane habitats, especially in isolated North Papuan Mountains. We found no clear relationship between extremely small body size (adult SVL less than 15 mm) and elevation, but a stronger relationship with ecology—smaller species tend to be more terrestrial.ConclusionsOrogeny and climatic oscillations have interacted to generate high montane biodiversity in New Guinea via both localised diversification within montane habitats (centric endemism) and periodic dispersal across lowland regions (eccentric endemism). The correlation between extreme miniaturisation and terrestrial habits reflects a general trend in frogs, suggesting that ecological or physiological constraints limit niche usage by miniaturised frogs, even in extremely wet environments such as tropical mountains.

Published: March 2017

AbstractSeit seiner Entdeckung im Jahr 1977 hat die Untersuchung des alternativen RNA‐Spleißens eine Vielzahl von Mechanismen zutage gefördert, die zuvor aus der Natur noch unbekannt waren. Die Erklärung dieser Umwandlungen und ihrer Resultate auf Ebene von Zellen und Organismen hat sich zu einer wichtigen Stoßrichtung der modernen chemischen Biologie entwickelt. Bis 2007 arbeiteten ausschließlich RNA‐Biologen an diesem Thema. Durch die vor kurzem erfolgte Identifizierung von Naturstoffen und synthetischen Modulatoren des RNA‐Spleißens sind aber auch chemische Untersuchungen des RNA‐Spleißens möglich geworden. Gleichzeitig wurde die Bedeutung des Spleißens bei Erkrankungen erkannt, was eine neue Therapieplattform erschließt. Wie bei vielen natürlichen Systemen ist die Kenntnis mechanistischer Details auf molekularer Ebene der Schlüssel für das Verständnis der Funktion einer biologischen Maschine. Dieser Kurzaufsatz stellt aktuelle Erkenntnisse und Schlussfolgerungen zur Chemie und Biochemie des RNA‐Spleißens vor.
Enhancement of mechanical and optical performance of commercial polystyrenes by blending with siloxane‐based copolymers
Authors: Ninago Mario Daniel , Hanazumi Vivina , Passaretti María Gabriela , Vega Daniel Alberto , Ciolino Andrés Eduardo , Villar Marcelo Armando 
Published: March 2017

ABSTRACTWell‐defined poly(styrene‐block‐dimethylsiloxane) copolymers (PS‐b‐PDMS) with low polydispersity index (Mw/Mn) and different compositions were synthesized by sequential anionic polymerization of styrene (S) and hexamethyl(ciclotrisiloxane) (D3) monomers. Synthesized PS‐b‐PDMS copolymers were characterized by 1H‐nuclear magnetic resonance, size exclusion chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The physicochemical characterization determined that block copolymers have molar mass values close to ∼135,000 g mol−1, narrow Mw/Mn < 1.3, and chemical composition ranging from low to intermediate PDMS content. Blends of these copolymers with a commercial polystyrene (PS) were obtained by melt mixing and subsequently injection. Films obtained were flexible, and showed lower transparency than the original PS matrix. On the other hand, a 10 wt % incorporation of PS‐b‐PDMS copolymers leads to better mechanical performance by enhancing elongation at break (∼8.8 times higher) and opacity values (∼18 times higher). In addition, UV–Vis barrier capacity of the resulting blends is also increased (up to 400% higher). © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2017, 134, 45122.
“Side‐Product Catalysis”: Substrate Autoxidation as an Overlooked Side Reaction Generating a Co‐Catalyst for Enhancing Asymmetric Aldol Reactions
Authors: Heidlindemann Marcel , Berkessel Albrecht , Gröger Harald 
Published: March 2017

AbstractAn acid formed autoxidatively from an aldehyde substrate as a side product was found to alter the reaction kinetics and selectivity significantly in the direct asymmetric aldol reaction between an aldehyde and acetone, both in aqueous media and cyclohexane. Furthermore, this side‐product catalysis (“impurity catalysis”) was also observed upon using commercial samples of aldehydes without purification prior to their use (owing to the presence of the acid formed therein during storage), which thus underlines the impact of substrate purity on the reaction course of the catalytic process.
Self‐Assembly Approach for Synthesis of Nanotubular Molybdenum Trioxide/Titania Composite Anode for Lithium‐Ion Batteries
Authors: Qi Dongmei , Zhang Yiming , Jia Dongling , Huang Jianguo 
Published: March 2017

AbstractA nanotubular composite composed of titania nanotubes coated with a thin layer of molybdenum trioxide was fabricated by employing natural cellulose (ordinary filter paper) as a template. The cellulose nanofibers were precoated with an ultrathin titania gel film by the surface sol–gel process. These nanofibers were then further coated with double layers of a positively charged poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) layer and a negatively charged polyoxomolybdate cluster layer deposited by the layer‐by‐layer self‐assembly approach. The as‐prepared composite was calcined in air to yield a series of MoO3/TiO2 nanocomposites with varied contents of MoO3. As an anode material for lithium‐ion batteries, the composite showed improved electrochemical performances, such as excellent reversible capacity, cycling stability, and rate capability; these benefited from the hierarchical three‐dimensional nanostructures of the composites derived from the cellulose substance, and the buffering effect of the robust titania nanotubes to maintain the structural integrity of the electrode.
