… et vers un cinéma pour l’oreille
Authors: Normandeau Robert 
Published: June 2012

Le compositeur établit un parallèle entre une certaine démarche de la musique acousmatique, nommée « cinéma pour l’oreille » et le cinéma lui-même, tous deux arts temporels. Il propose de transposer des éléments d’analyse du langage cinématographique au langage acousmatique afin de développer une meilleure connaissance de celui-ci. Il expose enfin quelques techniques cinématographiques qu’il a utilisées dans ses propres oeuvres au cours des dernières années.
L’écriture… plus actuelle que jamais!
Authors: Provost Serge 
Published: June 2012

Après avoir dénoncé l’ambiguïté du concept de musique actuelle, le compositeur Serge Provost en examine les composantes : impureté, mixité, ludisme, déconstruction, américanité, improvisation. Il lui oppose le concept de « contemporain » et fait l’éloge d’un retour nécessaire aux vertus de l’écriture.
Ruptures
Authors: Bissonnette Lise 
Published: June 2012

Se faisant l’écho de la lettre de Lorraine Vaillancourt et admettant que sa fréquentation de la musique ne va pas au-delà de Mahler, Lise Bissonnette renvoie la balle aux compositeurs et se demande si les créateurs, dans les arts contemporains et en particulier en musique, ne sont pas les premiers responsables de la « rupture » avec le public dont ils se plaignent.

Faisant référence à son installation de 1976, 12 + 1 =, qui réunissait treize tourne-disques automatiques en opération continue, l’artiste explique comment la pensée de John Cage a orienté son intérêt pour le disque-objet, tout en soulignant la spécificité de sa démarche.
American Composers Forum
Authors: Blackburn Philip 
Published: June 2012

Philip Blackburn dresse un portrait de l’American Composers Forum, organisation fondée en 1973 et qui a permis la création d’un réseau de diffusion de la nouvelle musique aux États-Unis. L’ACF compte 1 700 membres et soutient des projets de création basés sur l’étroite collaboration entre les créateurs, les interprètes et la communauté. Il s’agit donc de soutenir la carrière des compositeurs en intégrant leurs oeuvres aux activités culturelles des communautés. Non seulement l’ACF permet aux oeuvres de circuler, mais elle assure leur création dans le cadre d’expériences musicales qui répondent aux besoins artistiques des communautés d’accueil. Il se crée alors un véritable marché de la nouvelle musique.
Frank Zappa's Legacy: Just Another Hoover?
Authors: Watson Ben 
Published: June 2012

In "Frank Zappa's Legacy: just another Hoover?", Ben Watson reveals that when Frank Zappa referred to his "oeuvre" towards the end of his life, he pronounced the French word like "Hoover", the world's most famous brand of vacuum cleaner. Watson's essay starts with the proposition that Zappa's oeuvre is indeed a Hoover, a critical manoeuvre appropriate for Zappa's Dadaist disdain for cultural values. Establishment critics currently praise Zappa's "genius" as a composer, but this removes the critical sting of his records. In fact, what made Zappa special was his recognition that both commercial commodification and the heritage industry (concepts of "genius") repress desire and suppress music. In a detour into literary and psychoanalytical theory, Watson's zappological algebra reaches the equation: Stéphane Mallarmé + Wilhelm Reich = Frank Zappa. After an art-historical examination of the Hoover motif in Zappa's oeuvre, Zappa's heritage is assessed today: Project/Object, the Muffin Men, The Simpsons and the improvising trio of Eugene Chadbourne, Jimmy Carl Black and Pat Thomas are singled out for praise.
Le malentendu pointilliste
Authors: Stadlen Peter , Donin Nicolas 
Published: June 2012

Ce texte est la traduction française de la conférence donnée par le pianiste et musicologue Peter Stadlen lors du Congrès Webern qui eut lieu à Vienne en mars 1972. L’auteur montrait tout d’abord que dans plusieurs oeuvres de la fin de la production de Webern, la prédilection du compositeur pour le palindrome musical joua un rôle déterminant dans l’organisation des séries de hauteurs et de durées. Mais à ceux qui ne voyaient en Webern qu’un mathématicien froid et abstrait, il faisait ensuite découvrir, à la lumière des informations recueillies auprès du compositeur alors qu’il travaillait avec lui les Variations pour piano op. 27, en vue de la création qui eut lieu à Vienne le 26 octobre 1937, un « poète lyrique » soucieux d’expressivité.
Souvenirs de Darmstadt, mode d’emploi
Authors: Donin Nicolas , Goldman Jonathan 
Published: June 2012

Brève introduction à la démarche de ce numéro consacré à l’histoire des Ferienkurse de Darmstadt à travers la publication d’archives, l’analyse musicologique et la sollicitation de la parole des témoins.
Les origines de la « musique contemporaine », désignation caractéristique de la musique savante du dernier demi-siècle, se situent en bonne part à Darmstadt : aussi est-il bien normal de s’adresser à Darmstadt — mais si possible avec de nouvelles questions et de nouvelles attentes — lorsque l’on veut analyser le présent de la musique contemporaine.
L’exigence du vouloir chez Deliège
Authors: Nicolas François 
Published: June 2012

Cet article évalue la difficile consistance de l’ouvrage de Deliège en centrant son examen sur le thème du « vouloir exigeant ». Un portrait en trois touches de Célestin Deliège montre que l’auteur de Cinquante ans de modernité musicale est un musicien tenant en haute estime une musicologie conçue comme intellectualité; distinguant le vouloir du musicologue de celui du compositeur, Deliège accorde une importance centrale au vouloir du compositeur, puisque selon lui, dans la musique contemporaine, les concepts précèdent et déterminent les styles ou idées musicales. L’article met cette thèse à l’épreuve en prenant l’exemple de Brian Ferneyhough, avant d’exposer l’idée que pour comprendre le rapport entre intention musicienne (vouloir du compositeur) et intension musicale (vouloir de l’oeuvre elle-même), il faut plutôt aller de l’oeuvre vers son créateur. En fait, si Deliège met autant l’accent sur le vouloir du compositeur, c’est peut-être parce que, plutôt que de viser les simples lecteurs amateurs, Cinquante ans de modernité musicale s’adresse avant tout aux compositeurs.
Quelques problèmes de la musicologie critique selon Deliège
Authors: Nattiez Jean-Jacques 
Published: June 2012

Après avoir souligné le caractère et la valeur exceptionnelles de l’ouvrage de Deliège, l’auteur présente ses propres exigences en matière d’histoire de la musique, il résume ce qui lui semble être les quatre points fondamentaux sous-tendant l’« intrigue » à la base du livre, et il en entreprend une discussion critique. Il s’agit tour à tour du rôle fondamental donné par Deliège au concept, de la position prêtée à Webern comme « père » de la musique de l’après-guerre, de l’importance des grammaires comme principe d’évaluation, et de la place qu’il accorde (ou n’accorde pas) à la perception dans l’évolution de la musique du XXe siècle. Jean-Jacques Nattiez propose, sur ce dernier point, une « contre-intrigue » qui présente une lecture différente du rôle accordé par Pierre Boulez à la prévision perceptive dans le processus compositionnel. Le tout s’achève par un éloge de la culture belge.
Voir la musique aujourd’hui?
Authors: Beaucage Réjean 
Published: June 2012

Prenant pour point de départ un article de Jean-Wilfrid Garrett publié en 1950 dans la revue Polyphonie, article dans lequel l’auteur se désole de devoir constater le refus (ou l’incapacité) d’adaptation des compositeurs de musique contemporaine au média radiophonique, Réjean Beaucage se demande si ces derniers ne se préparent pas une nouvelle fois à rater le rendez-vous avec les nouvelles technologies, celles, cette fois-ci, qui intègrent l’image et le son. Examinant quelques oeuvres de compositeurs de musique contemporaine publiées ces dernières années sur DVD-vidéo ambiophonique (Tristan Murail, Fausto Romitelli, Steve Reich, etc.), il constate que la production est encore, de ce côté, très mince, et enjoint les compositeurs, comme le faisait Garrett il y a déjà plus d’un demi-siècle, à « ne pas se contenter d’illustrer conventionnellement d’arides théories mais d’en rechercher, parallèlement, l’application au monde vivant ».
High‐Throughput Phosphoproteomics from Formalin‐Fixed, Paraffin‐Embedded Tissues
Authors: Gámez‐Pozo Angelo , Sánchez‐Navarro Iker , Ibarz Ferrer Nuria , García Martínez Fernando , Ashman Keith , Fresno Vara Juan Ángel 
Published: June 2012

AbstractLiquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry–based high‐throughput proteomics allows detection and characterization of thousands of peptides and their post‐translational modifications in a single sample. Protein phosphorylation affects most eukaryotic cellular processes, and its deregulation is considered a hallmark of cancer and other diseases. High‐throughput phosphoproteomics may enable monitoring of altered signaling pathways as a means of stratifying tumors and facilitating the discovery of new drugs. Unfortunately, the development of molecular tests for clinical use is constrained by the limited availability of fresh frozen, clinically annotated samples, and protocols that allow the use of human archival formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded samples are required. The protocols in this article describe a global procedure for evaluating hundreds of protein phosphorylation sites in protein extracts obtained from formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded tissues. Curr.

A Controlled Study of Clicker‐Assisted Memory Enhancement in College Classrooms
Authors: Shapiro Amy M. , Gordon Leamarie T. 
Published: June 2012

SummaryPersonal response systems, commonly called ‘clickers’, are widely used in secondary and post‐secondary classrooms. Although many studies show they enhance learning, experimental findings are mixed, and methodological issues limit their conclusions. Moreover, prior work has not determined whether clickers affect cognitive change or simply alert students to information likely to be on tests. The present investigation used a highly controlled methodology that removed subject and item differences from the data to explore the effect of clicker questions on memory for targeted facts in a live classroom and to gain a window on the cognitive processes affecting the outcome. We found that in‐class clicker questions given in a university psychology class augmented performance on delayed exam questions by 10–13%. Experimental results and a class survey indicate that it is unlikely that the observed effects can be attributed solely to attention grabbing. Rather, the data suggest the technology invokes the testing effect. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Halpern Critical Thinking Assessment Predicts Real‐World Outcomes of Critical Thinking
Authors: Butler Heather A. 
Published: June 2012

SummaryAlthough educators and employers agree that it is important to assess the critical thinking skills of students and prospective employees, few assessments have been externally validated with real‐world outcomes of critical thinking. The Halpern Critical Thinking Assessment (HCTA) is a reliable measure of critical thinking skills and has been validated with multiple populations and measures of academic success. This study explored whether scores on the HCTA predicted real‐world outcomes in a wide range of domains, such as education, health, law, finance, and interpersonal relationships. Community adults (n = 50), state university students (n = 48), and community college students (n = 35) in the USA completed the HCTA and a behavioral inventory of life events. Overall, those with higher critical thinking scores reported fewer negative life events than those with lower critical thinking scores, r (131) = −.38, p < .001. Implications for education are discussed. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Ice Templating—An Alternative Technology to Produce Micromonoliths
Authors: Klotz Michaela , Amirouche Idris , Guizard Christian , Viazzi Céline , Deville Sylvain 
Published: June 2012

AbstractHierarchical ceramics with porosities defined at multiple length scales are of particular interest as catalyst support materials. In fixed‐bed reactors, catalytically active particles or porous pellets are packed in the reactor. A combination of high specific surface area, accessibility to the active sites and mechanical strength is therefore required and yet difficult to achieve. This problem is tackled using the ice templating process. Two approaches are investigated to obtain micromonoliths combining macro‐ and mesoporosities. Ice templating of boehmite suspensions provides materials with macropores ranging from 10 to 26 µm and mesopores from 3.6 to 6.2 nm throughout the entire volume of the sample. Total porosity of the samples ranges from 70 to 98%, and specific surface areas from 170 to 300 m2 g−1 can be reached. The mesopore characteristics can be adapted by modifying the particle size and the freezing rate. However the mechanical properties are not sufficient for application as catalyst carriers. An alternative method based on wash‐coating a mechanically resistant ice templated monolith is described. These monoliths have 64% porosity and straight, continuous, 4.5 µm diameter channels. Uniform 100 to 200 nm thick coatings, with a 360 m g−1 specific surface are deposited without altering the initial mechanical strength of the monolith: 134 ± 30 MPa. We expect such architectures, combining high specific surface area, low pressure drop, and high mechanical strength, to be of special interest as catalyst carriers.
Cyclic Deformation Behavior of a 316L Austenitic Stainless Steel Processed by High Pressure Torsion
Authors: Renk Oliver , Hohenwarter Anton , Pippan Reinhard 
Published: June 2012

AbstractThe influence of severe plastic deformation (SPD) on the fatigue behavior of a modified 316L austenitic stainless steel is investigated. Different ultrafine‐grained and nanocrystalline microstructures are obtained by changing the processing parameters and applying a post heat treatment procedure. Samples are fatigued using both, load and strain controlled experiments. High pressure torsion processing makes it possible to reach a saturation microstructure, which is cyclically stable up to a stress level three times higher than the stress level of the coarse‐grained structure. Fracture surface investigations and surface damage clearly show that the failure behavior of the SPD states under cyclic loading is different to their coarse‐grained counterparts. For these microstructures, localized deformation in shear bands seems to play a major role for crack initiation and propagation.
Fabrication and High Temperature Creep Behaviour of Interpenetrated Nickel–Chromium/Alumina Composites
Authors: Haeger Andreas , Schell Karl G. , Nagel Alwin , Bucharsky Ethel C. , Oberacker Rainer , Hoffmann Michael J. 
Published: June 2012

AbstractA method to manufacture unique interpenetrating 50 vol% nickel–chromium/alumina composites, namely NiCr8020/Al2O3/50pp, is reported. Key process is a high temperature squeeze casting procedure at temperatures above 1500 °C used to infiltrate alloy NiCr8020 into porous alumina preforms exhibiting a bimodal pore structure. Microstructure and mechanical properties of this new composite material are presented. Bending creep tests at 1000 and 1150 °C are performed. The obtained results are discussed in comparison to a nickel based superalloy. It is shown, that particle preform reinforcement is a promising method to improve creep resistance of nickel based alloys significantly. Due to its outstanding creep resistance, the composite material has a high potential for structural and tribological applications at high temperatures in oxidizing atmospheres.
Pressureless Sintering of TiB2‐Based Ceramics with Ti–Fe Additives: Sintering Mechanism and Stability in Liquid Aluminum
Authors: Heidari Hamed , Alamdari Houshang , Dubé Dominique , Schulz Robert 
Published: June 2012

AbstractThe development of a proper processing method for the fabrication TiB2‐based wettable cathodes for aluminum electrolysis has been challenging for more than half a century. In this work, TiB2‐based ceramics were consolidated via pressureless sintering using Ti, Fe, and Ti–Fe additives. The microstructure, physical and mechanical properties as well as the interaction and the stability of the material in liquid aluminum were investigated. It was shown that specimens sintered with a Ti–Fe additive have excellent stability in liquid aluminum as the solid TiB2 skeleton maintained its integrity and strength after 5 days of exposure in liquid aluminum at 960 °C. Transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that the formation of inter‐particle bridges of pure TiB2 is responsible for the good resistance of the material in molten aluminum. A sintering mechanism was proposed for the consolidation of TiB2 with a Ti–Fe additive. TiB2‐based ceramic sintered with a Ti–Fe alloy is suggested as a potentially reliable material for application as wettable cathode for aluminum electrolysis.
Osteoconductive Performance of Carbon Nanotube Scaffolds Homogeneously Mineralized by Flow‐Through Electrodeposition

Published: June 2012

AbstractThe treatment of bone lesions, including fractures, tumor resection and osteoporosis, is a common clinical practice where bone healing and repair are pursued. It is widely accepted that calcium phosphate‐based materials improve integration of biomaterials with surrounding bone tissue and further serve as a template for proper function of bone‐forming cells. Within this context, mineralization on preformed substrates appears as an interesting and successful alternative for mineral surface functionalization. However, mineralization of “true” 3D scaffolds –in which the magnitude of the third dimension is within the same scale as the other two– is by no means a trivial issue because of the difficulty to obtain a homogeneous mineral layer deposited on the entire internal surface of the scaffold. Herein, a “flow‐through” electrodeposition process is applied for mineralization of 3D scaffolds composed of multiwall carbon nanotubes and chitosan. It is demonstrated that, irrespective of the experimental conditions used for electrodeposition (e.g., time, temperature and voltages), the continuous feed of salts provided by the use of a flow‐through configuration is the main issue if one desires to coat the entire internal structure of 3D scaffolds with a homogeneous mineral layer. Finally, mineralized scaffolds not only showed a remarkable biocompatibility when tested with human osteoblast cells, but also enhanced osteoblast terminal differentiation (as early as 7 days in calcifying media).
A Universal Molecular Stent Method to Toughen any Hydrogels Based on Double Network Concept

Published: June 2012

AbstractDouble‐network hydrogels (DN gels), despite their high water content, are the strongest and toughest soft and wet materials available. However, in conventional DN gels, which show extraordinarily high mechanical performance comparable to that of industrial rubbers, the first network must be a strong polyelectrolyte and this requirement greatly hinders the widespread application of these gels. A general method involving the use of a “molecular stent” for the synthesis of tough DN gels using any hydrophilic polymer as the first network is reported. This is the first reported method for the synthesis of tough DN gels using various neutral or weak polyelectrolyte hydrogels as the first network. This method helps extend the DN gel concept to various functional polymers and may increase the number of applications of hydrogels in various fields.
Active, Programmable Elastomeric Surfaces with Tunable Adhesion for Deterministic Assembly by Transfer Printing
Authors: Carlson Andrew , Wang Shuodao , Elvikis Paulius , Ferreira Placid M. , Huang Yonggang , Rogers John A. 
Published: June 2012

AbstractActive, programmable control of interfacial adhesion is an important, desired feature of many existing and envisioned systems, including medical tapes, releasable joints, and stamps for transfer printing. Here a design for an elastomeric surface that offers switchable adhesion strength through a combination of peel‐rate dependent effects and actuation of sub‐surface fluid chambers is presented. Microchannels and open reservoirs positioned under a thin surface membrane can be pressurized in a controlled manner to induce various levels of surface deformation via inflation. These pressurized structures demonstrate utility in controllably decreasing the strength of adhesion of flat, solid objects to the elastomeric surface, particularly in the limit of low peel‐rates. Experimental and theoretical studies of these systems reveal the key mechanisms, and guide optimized geometries for broad control over adhesion, in a programmable and reversible manner. Implementing these concepts in stamps for transfer printing enables new modes for deterministic assembly of micro‐ and nanoscale materials onto diverse types of substrates. Collections of silicon plates delivered onto plastic, paper and other surfaces with single or multiply addressable stamps illustrate some of the capabilities.
Screening the Incorporation of Amino Acids into an Inorganic Crystalline Host: the Case of Calcite

Published: June 2012

AbstractOrganisms have the ability to produce structures with superior characteristics as in the course of biomineralization. One of the most intriguing characteristics of biominerals is the existence of intracrystalline macromolecules. Despite several studies over the last two decades and efforts to mimic the incoporation of macromolecules synthetically, a fundamental understanding of the mechanism of incorporation is as yet lacking. For example, which of the common 20 amino acids are really responsible for the interaction with the mineral phase? Here a reductionist approach, based on high‐resolution synchrotron powder diffraction and analytical chemistry, is utilized to screen all of these amino acids in terms of their incorporation into calcite. We showed that the important factors are amino‐acid charge, size, rigidity and the relative pKa of the carboxyl and amino functional groups. It is also demonstrated that cysteine, surprisingly, interacts very strongly with the mineral phase and therefore, like acidic amino acids, becomes richly incorporated. The insights gained from this study shed new light on the incorporation of organic molecules into an inorganic host in general, and in particular on the biomineralization process.
