title: Nutritive value of Leucaena leucocephala for laying hens
Creators: name: Gill, Ian M.
Publisher: name: The University of Edinburgh
Year: 1977
Subjects: subject: Annexe MSc Digitisation Project 2022 Block 37

description: During the last 30 years there has been increasing interest in the use of the perennial leguminous shrub Leucaena leucocephala as a cheap protein source for poultry rations. However, little work has been carried out to investigate the nutritive value of leucaena for laying hens. The purpose of this preliminary study was to determine the effects of including 150g of leucaena leaf meal per kg of ration for laying hens on egg production, egg quality, liveweight gain and feed consumption. The experiment was conducted with 64 point of lay pullets which were randomly- allocated to two leucaena treatments (nil and 150g per kg diet). These two treatments were combined factorially with two poultry breeds (Ross White and Rose Ranger) and replicated eight times. After 10 weeks it was noted that the leucaena-fed hens produced, on average, 15 per cent fewer eggs and consumed, on average, approximately 12 per cent less food per day than the control hens. The eggs from the leucaena-fed hens also had much darker yolks. Leucaena was found to have no effect on the efficiency of egg production, mean egg weight, shell weight and thickness or body weight of the hens. There was also an obvious breed effect. The brown hybrids were significantly heavier than the white hybrids but consumed substantially more food. Although they produced appreciably more eggs than the white hybrids there were negligible differences between the breeds in the efficiency of production. The practical significance of the results is discussed.
Development of mechanical and interfacial characterization methods for polymer thin films
Creators: name: Son, Hyeyoung
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Materials engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Polymer thin films have been developed in numerous industrial fields due to their cost efficiency and productivity. A primary step in developing new products is characterizing the properties of polymer thin films before implementing them in various applications. Many studies have been conducted to determine the physical properties of polymer thin films but there is still a need to further understand and characterize their mechanical and interfacial properties. Although there are standard testing methods to assess the mechanical and interfacial properties of thin films, they can be challenging to use due to the geometrical and physical limitations of polymer thin films. Hence, there is a need to develop a new approach for mechanical and interfacial characterization that has high sensitivity and can be broadly applied. In this work, wrinkling and delamination of a glassy thin film on an elastomeric substrate, a well-defined and understood surface buckling instability, is adopted to investigate the interfacial and mechanical properties of a glassy polymer thin film on a soft elastomeric substrate. This new characterization tool utilizes the transition from thin film wrinkling to delamination (W2D) from the elastomeric substrate to subsequently measure the elastic modulus and the adhesion strength of a glassy polymer thin film, which is difficult to characterize simultaneously with conventional techniques due to the brittleness of glassy thin films. Furthermore, the dependency of the elastomer’s bulk mechanical properties on adhesion strength was investigated by expanding on the W2D technique. Further exploiting the W2D technique, the delamination propagation rate of a thin film debonding from a substrate is used to understand how the bulk mechanical properties of the substrate affect the adhesion energy, termed the strain energy release rate (G), of a thin film on an elastic substrate. Additionally, a new method for determining the axial fracture mechanism and axial modulus of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) films has been developed by visualizing in-situ deformation and surface instabilities (wrinkling). Lastly, new experimental approaches were developed to understand the mechanical behavior of polymeric thin films using a common test method. The effect of temperature on the adhesion and mechanical behavior of polymeric thin films was studied by developing a double lap shear fixture and temperature stabilization platform. Through these newly developed or revised characterization approaches, measurement of the physical and mechanical properties of polymer thin films that are commonly difficult to measure have been overcome.
title: Some studies of the in vitro effect of bovine rumen fluid on the growth of Salmonella Typhimurium

description: A study of some factors affecting the survival of salmonellae in the rumen of trie bovine animal was made. A Friesian cow was fed once daily on a maintenance allowance of 7.0 Kg. crushed barley and 2.0 Kg. hay. In each of four trials food was withheld for a period of forty-eight hours and rumen fluid samples were taken four-and-a-half hours after feeding, at the end of the starvation period and four-and-a-half hours after feeding was resumed. Solutions containing equal quantities of nutrient broth and either sterilised rumen fluid or distilled water were adjusted to the pH of the rumen samples. The prepared solutions were inoculated with a drop of twenty-four hour Salmonella typhimurium culture and then incubated aerobically for twenty-four hours at 37°C. Viable counts in the solutions were made before and after incubation. Volatile fatty acid and lactate concentrations, as well as pH values, were determined in all rumen fluid samples taken during the trials. Ratios of viable counts after incubation to before incubation were calculated for control solutions without rumen fluid and test solutions containing rumen fluid. These ratios were found to be significantly lower in solutions containing rumen fluid sampled four-and-a-half hours after regular feeding than in solutions without rumen fluid. No significant difference was found between the ratios in test and control solutions using either rumen fluid sampled after forty-eight hours starvation or four-and-a-half hours after resumption of normal feeding. Mean total volatile fatty acid concentrations were significantly higher in rumen fluid samples taken four-and-a-half hours after regular feeding than in those taken after forty-eight hours starvation, or four-and-a-half hours after feeding was resumed. The mean concentrations of total butyric and n-butyric acids in rumen samples taken four-and-a-half hours after regular feeding were significantly higher than in samples taken after forty-eight hours starvation or four-and-a-half hours after feeding was resumed. No difference between the latter two mean concentrations was found. Differences in mean lactate concentrations in rumen fluid samples were not statistically significant. It is concluded that a solution containing 50% sterilised rumen fluid, taken from a cow four-and-a-half hours after the last regular feed of 7.0 Kg. barley and 2.0 Kg. hay, had a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of S. typhimurium in vitro. No such effect was demonstrated on this growth when rumen fluid taken from the cow either after forty-eight hours starvation or four-and- a-half hours after resumption of feeding was used. This effect is considered to be partially due to the volatile fatty acids in the rumen fluid and in particular n-butyric acid. The importance of these results is discussed as well as their relationships to some earlier findings reported in the literature.
Where the Heart Is: The impact of structure and motivation on homeschooling families' functionality and promotion of differentiation-of-self

description: Much of the current academic literature on the practice of homeschooling has revolved around the individual academic, social, and psychosocial outcomes of homeschooled youth. As such, the relational and systemic implications of homeschooling have been neglected in the current body of research, thus leaving the practice’s long-term outcomes on family and relational functionality up to heuristic assumption by homeschooling families and the general public. The current study sought to address this gap in the literature by introducing a family systems perspective to the assessment of homeschooling families and homeschooler’s relational functionality. Comparisons between homeschooled (n = 145) and non-homeschooled (n = 147) adults found that, after controlling for demographic differences, homeschooled adults reported that their families had higher levels of unbalanced Enmeshment and Rigidity, along with lower levels of unbalanced Disengagement, than non-homeschooled participants within the Circumplex Model of Marital and Family Functioning. Homeschoolers also displayed greater levels of Differentiation-of-Self in the domains of Emotional Reactivity and I-Position taking than non-homeschoolers. These results, however, were found to be closely connected to homeschooled participants’ reports of how many years they were homeschooled, the degree of structure in their homeschooling environment, as well as the strength of several different common rationales they believe motivated their family to choose to homeschool, with certain factors emerging as significant predictors of whether homeschoolers reported a more functional family environment and higher Differentiation-of-Self. The clinical and research implications, limitations, and future directions for studies of this kind, are discussed.
Spatially Explicit Assessment of Environmental Impacts in the Electronics Sector

description: As society rapidly migrates to digitized services, the Information, Communications, and Technology (ICT) sector is projected to sustain a 16% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years, surpassing $1 trillion in revenue by 2024. The hardware infrastructure that supports ICT growth, such as semiconductor chips and hard disk drives (HDDs), is also experiencing parallel growth trajectories. Thus, large technology companies need to understand the environmental implications of growth in these vital components within their supply chains, as they strive to reach ambitious targets for carbon, water, and waste reduction.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a powerful tool for measuring environmental impacts along the life cycle of a product and is implemented here to measure emissions and resource use in the semiconductor and HDD manufacturing supply chains, and to quantify the benefits of circularity for HDD components. However, to understand how environmental impacts of a manufacturing process relate to the landscapes (i.e. ecosystems) where manufacturing occurs, one must look to methods beyond LCA.
Footprinting methods are a promising tool for bridging the gap between LCA process data inventories and site-specific impacts on ecosystems. Further, the footprint assesses the total volume of emission over a time period, which is aligned with the concept of absolute sustainability. As such, regionalized footprint methods for freshwater use in the semiconductor industry and toxic chemical pollution for the HDD rare earth magnet supply chain were undertaken. In each case, data from the LCA literature or custom LCAs were used as the basis for the life cycle inventory, but advanced methods including regional databases of water scarcity and toxicity factors were used to quantify and communicate impacts. Further, geographic information systems (GIS) were used to allocate emissions or water use from a manufacturing facility with their associated watershed, which enabled aggregation of data across various geographies (i.e. watershed, region, country).
This work implements multi-disciplinary methods, databases, and tools with the aim to bring water and chemical footprinting methods a step closer towards meaningful assessment of a product’s impact on local, regional, and planetary boundaries.

description: Argasid ticks of the species Ornithodoros moubata were given infective meals of fowl pox virus in fowl blood by either membrane or embryonated hen*s egg feeding methods. The field strain of virus used had to be egg-adapted before viraemia could be established in embryonated hens' eggs. The ticks were kept at 25°C and 87% relative humidity, except during feeding, which was carried out at 57°C. Virological examinations of ground up tick suspensions were carried out at various intervals after feeding. The duration of virus persistence was variable, and the maximum recorded was 62 days in adult ticks. The virus did not persist interstadially and was not passed transovarially in the ticks. Attempts to transmit fowl pox by feeding infected ticks either on embryonated eggs or on hens were unsuccessful.

description: The object of this study was to observe the behaviour of sheep infected with tick-borne fever (TBF) in regard to feed and water intakes. Ten Suffolk and Suffolk cross, sheep of both sexes were grouped into five pairs and housed individually in adjacent holding crates. The first member of each pair was infected with TBF and the second non-infected member served as a control. A pelleted diet and water were weighed out in kilograms and fed to the animals ad libitum. Feed and water intakes, temperature reactions and haematological analyses were measured daily. One infected sheep died from extraneous causes in the early fever. Partial anorexia was observed in the other four infected sheep while febrile, whereas all the control sheep maintained a normal temperature and appetite. The water intake decreased as the temperature of the infected sheep increased but varied little in the non—infected. Significant differences in the food and water intakes between the infected and non-infected sheep were observed from the fifth to the seventh day after inoculation. The infected sheep lost weight whereas the non-infected sheep gained weight.

Subjects: subject: Annexe MSc Digitisation Project 2022 Block 37

description: Some aspects of laying hen productivity and their serum calcium levels at high ambient temperatures were studied. 32 laying pullets were exposed to one of four treatments (8 per treatment), 21°C ad libitum feeding, 21°C restricted feeding, 30°C ad libitum feeding, and 35°C ad libitum feeding. Voluntary feed intake decreased as environmental temperature rose. Concomitant with this was a decrease in body weight (above 30°C). The rationed group also lost body weight. These two groups exhibited compensatory growth when, returned to ad libitum feeding at 21°C at the end of the experimental period. Rate of lay of eggs was not affected by temperature up to 34°C but the rationed group of pullets produced fewer eggs than all other groups. Egg weight was depressed by increasing ambient temperature. Above 30°C both temperature per se and inadequate feed intake were probably responsible for the decreased egg weight because the group of pullets rationed to the intake of the 35°C ad libitum group produced heavier eggs than those produced by the 35°C ad libitum group. There was no consistent effect of temperature on serum calcium level. Increasing ambient temperature, however, decreased shell thickness and shell weight. Shell weight decreased with time in all treatments.

Principles for the adoption of offsite construction in design and construction companies
Creators: name: Brissi, Sara Gusmao
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Building construction management and project planning

description: The United States presents the appropriate conditions for a wider adoption of offsite construction (OSC): steady growth in the construction industry, high construction wages, shortage of labors, and demand for housing – especially multifamily housing. The multifamily housing market is overheated, but many design and construction companies are still struggling to stay strong in this market, marked by tight profit margins, high competitiveness and inefficiencies. OSC presents itself as a solution to help design and construction companies to become more efficient and resilient to potential market crises. However, the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry is hesitant to move to higher levels of OSC adoption, mainly because stakeholders, including owners, developers, designers, and construction companies, are not aware of the potential benefits resulting from OSC and are not prepared to promote the changes necessary for the successful adoption of OSC or for the engagement in modular construction, which would represent an important move towards industrialized construction. This study focused on how to implement strategic changes in design and construction companies, particularly small and medium-size enterprises, interested in successfully using OSC in multifamily housing projects, considering the need for more affordable and sustainable multifamily housing in the United States. Using mixed methods, the study involved five phases of data collection and data analysis and had the contribution of professionals from the AEC industry. Focusing only on the AEC industry of the United States, the researcher first identified the main factors affecting the use of OSC in multifamily projects, as well as the most important changes that design and construction companies need to adopt for the successful use of OSC in multifamily projects. The factors and the changes helped to structure and shape the scope of the principles, which were later consolidated and validated through research with professionals from design and construction companies. The final set of eight principles was divided into four topics: (1) strategy and business model, (2) people, organization, and culture, (3) technology, materials, and tools, and (4) processes and operations. In addition to helping to shape more efficient and resilient construction companies, the application of the proposed principles contributes to building more affordable and sustainable housing in the United States.

Subjects: subject: Geoforensics, exhumation, underground, technoscience, body politic.

description: This thesis looks at the ways in which techno-scientific modes of seeing, classifying and meas-uring the earth are reformulating territorial disputes in areas of resource extraction. It will start by arguing that, due to the mobilisation of science by capital, the earth is being reduced to discrete components, converted into resources and potentials for extraction. The idea of the underground frontier will be presented as the extreme case of this condition: no longer simply the space where resources are located, the underground is itself being converted into a resource. Discussing a series of disputes over resource extraction, it will focus, in particular, on the spatial and political assemblages of which technoscience is a part: how it is mobilised, used, financed, and how it becomes part of wider political, cultural or legal claims. Drawing on fieldwork carried out in the Atacama Desert in Chile, this thesis will travel to the Niger Delta in Nigeria, home to the world’s most extensive case of oil contamination, and the Ori¬noco Oil Belt in Venezuela, an object of dispute between multiple global interests. Together with the Atacama, the study of these cases constitutes the three main chapters of the thesis, in each of which will be traced the expansion of the frontier deep into the underground, as I identify what political imaginations emerge from the frontier, and the ways in which these imaginations have been co-determined by technosciences. Finally, the argument developed here will be that technoscience has become a privileged field through which one interrogates and speaks about the earth, and, therefore, the field through which, or in alliance with which, every political claim in the underground frontier needs to constitute itself.

description: Good mathematical skills are extremely important in today’s quantitatively oriented societies and are related to various desirable life outcomes, ranging from better jobs and education to the mental health and wellbeing. The development of mathematical skills is influenced by complex blend of biological and cultural factors. Mathematical ability is a highly heritable trait, although the search for the genetic variants affecting it has to date not been very fruitful. Cross-cultural research identified some differences in mathematics, with children from East Asia outperforming the rest of the world on mathematical tests across different ages. 
This thesis aims to provide new insights into the sources of individual and cross-cultural differences in mathematics and mathematically related domains. Chapters 1 and 2 provided both, literature review of the factors influencing individual differences in mathematical achievement, as well as two approaches employed in this thesis to study them. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 investigated the existence and the sources of the individual and cross-cultural differences in mathematics and mathematically related traits, both before and at the beginning of the formal schooling in more than 600 5-9-years old children from 5 distinct populations UK, China, Russia, and Kyrgyz and Dungan populations from Kyrgyzstan. The results suggest that in line with the previous studies, cross-cultural differences in mathematics exist even at the beginning of the formal education with the Chinese children outperforming the rest of the populations. The mechanisms related to individual differences in mathematics are similar across populations before the formal schooling and become more diverse as the children start formal education. Chapter 6 reports an investigation into the genetic variants implicated in mathematics and mathematically related traits employing the genotypic and phenotypic data from two samples: (1) ~3000 12- and 16- year old children from Twin Early Development Study (TEDS) in the UK; and (2) 371 17-21-year old students from 4 

Russia. In line with the previous research, the results suggest that mathematics and mathematically related traits are influenced by many genetic variants of very small effects and that the larger sample sizes are needed to address the discrepancy between heritability estimates and number of identified genetic variants. Chapter 7 concludes with general discussion and suggestions for future directions.
Cru'd: Lesbian Identity Tension in Campus Crusade for Christ

description: Identity tensions in religious organizations has become a popular research area in organizational communication within recent decades. This study endeavors to investigate lesbian identity tension within the evangelical, college-based organization Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru) with the guiding research question: How do lesbian former members of Cru and former Cru staff discursively navigate identity tensions regarding homosexuality within the organization? Through surveys of six lesbian former members of Cru and eight former Cru staff, this essay demonstrates a nuanced perspective of identity tension between homosexuality and Christianity in the United States and highlights common themes from all participants: anxiety, frustration, fear, shame, and regret. Utilizing structuration theory and feminism as overarching theoretical frameworks to shape the discussion on sexuality, race, identity, and concertive control, the unique narratives of the participants’ surveys and interviews provide new insights on the struggles of LGBTQ individuals within the de facto anti-gay organization, Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru). Interspersed throughout the work are autoethnographic vignettes from the author that serve as complementary narratives to demonstrate emotion as epistemology. This study provides a brand-new application of popular organizational communication theories to an underrepresented population (lesbians) in an understudied organization (Cru) to contribute to the ongoing research on identity tension in religious organizations.

description: Equipment health is the root of productivity and profitability in a company; through the use of machine learning and advancements in computing power, a maintenance strategy known as Predictive Maintenance (PdM) has emerged. The predictive maintenance approach utilizes performance and condition data to forecast necessary machine repairs. Predicting maintenance needs reduces the likelihood of operational errors, aids in the avoidance of production failures, and allows for preplanned outages. The PdM strategy is based on machine-specific data, which proves to be a valuable tool. The machine data provides quantitative proof of operation patterns and production while offering machine health insights that may otherwise go unnoticed.

The equipment monitoring system records operational and performance data as the turbine generator supplies campus with electricity and high-pressure steam. Unplanned and surprise maintenance needs in the turbine generator hinder utility production and lessen the dependability of the system.
 The work of this study leverages the turbine generator data the Wade Utility Plant records and stores, to justify equipment care and provide early error detection at an in-house level. The research collects and aggregates operational, monitoring and performance-based data for the turbine generator in Microsoft Excel, creating a dashboard which visually displays and statistically monitors variables for discrepancies. The dashboard records ninety days of data, tracked hourly, determining averages, extrema, and alerting the user as data approaches recommended warning levels. Microsoft Excel offers a low-cost and accessible platform for data collection and analysis providing an adaptable and comprehensible collection of data from a turbine generator. The dashboard offers visual trends, simple statistics, and status updates using 90 days of user selected data. This dashboard offers the ability to forecast maintenance needs, plan work outages, and adjust operations while continuing to provide reliable services that meet Purdue University's utility demands.

title: Making Visible: the inhabitation of urban public space by irregular immigrants
Creators: name: Trikalinou, Lilika (Eleftheria)

Subjects: subject: urban public space, irregular immigration, invisibility, Athens

description: Abstract
Focusing on irregular immigrants, people without any official status in their country of habitation, the research explores the relationship between urban public space and groups deemed to be marginal. Irregular immigrants’ experiences of ‘institutional invisibility’ are combined with their in-between socio-economic and political condition, reflecting, partly, immigration's transnational character. Therefore, irregular immigrants' social reproduction is dependent, partly, on informal, often illegal, means to sustain a living that are linked to their usage of urban public space. Their everyday experiences, and the ways they negotiate their institutional invisibility and irregularity, are investigated as a means to explore the appropriation of urban public space in relation to the conditions of their habitation, thus opening up issues relating to their right(s) and claims to space.
The research underpinning the thesis was conducted during 2011-2012 in Athens, Greece, with the empirical focus on Omonoia, a place of significant ‘settlement’ by irregular immigrants. Its core was in-depth interviews with eight irregular immigrants’ households, supplemented with a mapping exercise and participant observation. Additionally, the research documented institutional responses to, and influences on, the lives of irregular immigrants, through interviews with officials in key positions. The data show that urban public space is the primary means of survival and social reproduction for irregular immigrants, with it acting as both shelter and a place to network. The thesis highlights the use of invisibility and irregularity as a means to conceal immigrants’ marginal ways of securing basic needs away from the eyes of the State. However, their uses of public spaces are usually at odds with official, ‘legitimate’, governmental discourses about what public spaces are or ought to be. This opposition emphasizes the role of everyday activities in the production of space, but also the right to space - in the absence of other rights - by the plain instantiation of bodily existence of the institutionally invisible, irregular, immigrants in urban public space.
First record of male-male combat in the Yellow-bellied Puffing Snake Spilotes sulphureus (Wagler, 1824)

description: Male ritual combat is an intraspecific agonistic interaction associated with competition for food, mating and territory and has been described for several neotropical snakes. Here, we provide the first record of male-male combat in Spilotes sulphureus in Brazilian Atlantic Forest based on one fortuitous videotaped encounter. Males remained partially coiled in a vertical position during combat and performed various displays (e.g., downward push, tumble, vertical display and orientation, dorsal hyperextension, pinning and lyre-shaped) including some that were also observed during defensive behaviour (e.g., gular inflation, neck S-coil and latero-lateral flattening). Our observations bring new information about the natural history of S. sulphureus and show that this species shares some aspects of male-male combat with other colubrids, including S. pullatus, but a more in-depth study is necessary to understand the reproductive biology of this species.
title: Chance memories : supporting involuntary reminiscence by design
Creators: name: Fennell, Jacqueline E.
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London

Subjects: subject: Involuntary human memory, HCI, reminiscence support, interaction design, reflective design practice

description: People give huge importance to preserving their memories as a way of understanding who they are and what they are about. Current memory support systems, however, favour people self-prescribing time and space to collect, store and maintain explicit memory triggers (e.g. photographs, videos, memorabilia). Finding time to access such systems and their potential triggers to engage in reminiscence is a process requiring great effort, organisation and dedication.
This thesis builds on the view that it is not the supports that contain the memory but people to explore new systems that hint at memories rather than serving as repositories. This offers great scope for designers, as systems no longer have to be designed around personal memory evidence alleviating the need for people to contribute, update and retrieve personal content. To achieve this, understanding around involuntary memory provides inspiration towards designing support and is considered through more specific questions:
. What are current methods for capturing, archiving and accessing memory triggers?
. Through understanding the nature of memory, how can design support unexpected
remembering?
. How might designed support for unexpected remembering enhance reminiscing experiences?
The methodology is an iterative evaluation of current practices, analysis, proposals and recommendations, with three methods used throughout. First, I review literature around the nature of memory and exploring the current approaches for designing reminiscence support as a foundation for new approaches. Second, I report empirical studies to collect anecdotal evidence of unexpected remembering. Finally, I develop proposals and recommendations that reflect on the findings of the literature review and explorations showing how design can extend and enhance current experiences of unexpected remembering.
Overall, this thesis develops a new approach to designing memory support. As an alternative to prescribing explicit, intense and proactive memory recall instalments, this research presents design recommendations that are sympathetic to how people naturally remember and their need for spontaneous, lightweight memory recall.
title: Re-question, Reset : Portfolio of compositions accompanied by a written commentary.
Creators: name: Bosnic, Maja
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: experimental music, audience participation, interactive composition, open work, randomization of instrument groups in the orchestra, patchwork form, conceptual music

description: This research project attempts to demonstrate potentials of repeated questioning and repeated setting of common occurrences in the process of composing, as a method fruitful with alternative solutions which could contribute to development of contemporary music. It investigates techniques of modifying familiar systems of sound organization by re-questioning some of their principles and resetting them in a manner different than those which have been used in the past. As a result, each re-questioned method influenced development of compositional ideas that practically tested different approaches to particular issues. Spliced discontinuity was organized in a patchwork form; the conventional groups of the orchestra were rearranged and treated as percussion instruments, and the audience was given an opportunity to become a performer.

The research demonstrates the creation process of methods that have their roots in the legacy of contemporary music achievements. Moreover, since they have adapted to the concepts found in everyday life environment, as a result they propose alternative and original solutions for the future development.

In accordance with diversity of their concepts, the submitted compositions differ in instrumentation, type of material, formal organization and style of notation. The written commentary presents supplementary information on each piece, with an intention of providing the reader with an insight into the formation and evolution of the original concept, with references to the works of John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Louis Andriessen, John Zorn, Raymond Murray Schafer, Luigi Nono and Cornelius Cardew. Analyses of the compositions are supported with graphical aids, such as tables, figures, and appendices, while the scores and recordings are submitted in a separate volume that should accompany the written commentaries.
