description: Recently, condensed matter and atomic experiments have reached a length-scale and temperature regime where new quantum collective phenomena emerge. Finding such physics in systems of photons, however, is problematic, as photons typically do not interact with each other and can be created or destroyed at will. Here, we introduce a physical system of photons that exhibits strongly correlated dynamics on a meso-scale. By adding photons to a two-dimensional array of coupled optical cavities each containing a single two-level atom in the photon-blockade regime, we form dressed states, or polaritons, that are both long-lived and strongly interacting. Our zero temperature results predict that this photonic system will undergo a characteristic Mott insulator (excitations localised on each site) to superfluid (excitations delocalised across the lattice) quantum phase transition. Each cavity's impressive photon out-coupling potential may lead to actual devices based on these quantum many-body effects, as well as observable, tunable quantum simulators. We explicitly show that such phenomena may be observable in micro-machined diamond containing nitrogen-vacancy colour centres and superconducting microwave strip-line resonators.

Exploring the black hole spectrum of axionic Horndeski theory

description: We provide a ``user-friendly'' algorithm to systematically and rapidly obtain exact planar black hole solutions in the Einstein-Maxwell theory deformed by the most general shift- and reflection-symmetric Horndeski sector where the usual Galileon is replaced by a tuple of scalars with profiles linear in the coordinates of the transverse manifold. Under precise assumptions, these axion backgrounds break the translational invariance of the system, causing momentum dissipation in the holographically dual field theory. The success of the method relies on the simple realization that the bulk equations of motion become more tractable when written in terms of the axions kinetic terms, instead of the radial coordinate. Showcasing this particularly efficient recipe, we derive novel asymptotically AdS black holes, and show that their extremal counterparts always flow to an $\mathrm{AdS}_2\times \mathbb{R}^2$ infrared fixed point. Additionally, we report an interesting family of new asymptotically Lifshitz black hole solutions with $z>1$. Finally, we discuss the DC transport properties of the dual relativistic field theories in view of possible applications to condensed matter systems.

description: We prove that pseudo-holomorphic discs attached to a maximal totally real submanifold inherit their regularity from the regularity of the submanifold and of the almost complex structure. The proof is based on the computation of an explicit lower bound for the Kobayashi metric in almost complex manifolds, which also yields explicit estimates of Hölderian norms of such discs.

Sintering and its enhancement in ferrous powder compacts
Creators: name: Subrahmanyam, Gowri
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Sintering maps have been developed for pure iron compacts. The maps have been drawn as a function of various sintering parameters such as particle size, green density, time and temperature. Two sets of diagrams have been drawn to define the sintering kinetics, namely, the field map and the neck growth/shrinkage map. A new and simple method has been developed to construct the field maps, which define the dominant mechanisms of mass transport that contribute to neck growth under a given set of conditions of sintering. Shrinkage maps, which show how far the neck is growing or give % linear shrinkage for a given neck size and temperature, are generated by numerically integrating, the sum of the contributions to neck growth from the different mechanisms of transport. The model developed is based on ideal geometry and does not take into account complex phenomena such as grain growth, pore coalescence or pore growth. The sintering equations and diagrams that have been developed for pure iron compacts have been used effectively in the present study to predict and analyze the results of experiments involving various attempts to enhance sintering in such compacts. Small additions of a selected group of elements were made to iron compacts in an attempt to provide activation of solid state sintering similar to that which is obtained when tungsten powder compacts are doped with nickel. A few of the dopants used with iron compacts produced a small increase in shrinkage and densification for a given set of sintering conditions. Based on the present results and on the several studies of tungsten - nickel compacts which are reported in the literature, a new theory of dopant activated sintering has been proposed. Consistent with this model, it is suggested that certain criteria must be met by the dopant-base metal combination if activated sintering is to be observed. Sintering enhancement based on ferrite stabilization in two systems, iron - phosphorus and iron - silicon has been studied. This approach to solid state sintering enhancement proved to be highly effective and it is believed to have important practical applications in the P/M parts industry. The results of these experiments were consistent with predictions based on the sintering theory and maps appropriate to the conditions of sintering employed.

description: We demonstrate two simple theorems about squeezing induced by bilinear spin-spin interactions that conserve spin parity -- including a vast majority of quantum spin models implemented by state-of-the-art quantum simulators. In particular we show that squeezing captures the first form of quantum correlations which are produced: 1) at equilibrium, by adiabatically turning on the spin-spin interactions starting from a factorized state aligned with an external, arbitrary field; 2) away from equilibrium, by evolving unitarily the same state with the interacting Hamiltonian.

Aida and the Empire of Emotions (Theodor W. Adorno, Edward Said, and Alexander Kluge)
Creators: name: Goehr, Lydia
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2009

description: This essay investigates how Theodor W. Adorno, Edward Said, and Alexander Kluge read Verdi’s opera Aida with respect to the theme of being buried alive, where being buried alive can occur not only to characters in an opera but, according to a discourse of fate, also to the opera itself. To write about being buried alive but living as it were tot tell the tale, the three critics ask whether a residue of resistance in the opera remains that allows the opera to escape a totalizing discourse of fate or fatality that threatens to destroy it. Goehr begins by presenting the more familiar views of Adorno and Said, although hopefully in a new light. After, Goehr presents and develops the less familiar view (in an Anglo-American musicological context) of the Frankfurt filmmaker and critical theorist, Alexander Kluge.

Rebel Girls and Singing Boys: Performing Music and Gender in the Teen Movie
Creators: name: Cateforis, Theo
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2009

description: The teen movie Pretty in Pink presents a gendered dichotomy that exists between females as musical connoisseurs and males as emotional performers that is far from rare within the teen movie genre of the mid-1980’s to early 2000’s. These recurring tropes raise important questions about the teen movie genre and its use of popular music. How and why does the teen movie divide its musical scores along gendered lines? What do these musical differences tell us about the contrast between female and male adolescence? What is the significance of the “Rebel Girl” within the history of the teen movie, and how are we to interpret the teen boy who bursts into song onscreen? This article’s goal is to dig more deeply into these questions by viewing the teen movies soundtrack through the lenses of gender identity, musical genre, and the cinematic conventions of popular song scoring.

Review of Tess Knighton and Álvaro Torrente, eds. 2007. Devotional Music in the Iberian World, 1450-1800: The Villancico and Related Genres. Aldershot, UK, and Burlington, VT: Ashgate Publishing
Creators: name: Le Guin, Elisabeth
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2009

description: “Villancico” is a baggy term for an enormous range of related practices and genres, and as such, a good analogy to the equally baggy term “cantata”. Indeed, there was for a time a certain amount of crossover or fusion between the two terms in Spanish-speaking lands, as Juan Jose Carreras has pointed out. The huge range of time during which things called villancicos were produced, the large number of communities in which they appeared and the great variety of purposes that the therefore came to serve, all make it both urgent and impossible to define “the villancico”. So; a sprawling mess, a conundrum, an endlessly rich fund of musical practices and products, mingling devotional and secular, learned and popular, official and indigenous, complexities, overt and covert-the villancico is a genre emblematic of the impossible historical and cultural diversity of the Iberian Empires.

description: A focus on the historical causes of normative social assumptions and everyday patterns of thought has been one of the many important consequences of the structuralist revolution. The focus on language, ideas, and social behaviors as interrelated forms of cultural expression has had a major impact in helping with the understanding of why we view the world the way we do. Matthew Gelbart’s The Invention of “Folk” Music and “Art Music” represents a landmark publication in these developments, for it calls into question long-held assumptions about folk and art music. These are terms of enormous significance to Western musical culture. Gelbart convincingly shows this through a wide-ranging historiographical examination of two-centuries’ worth of writings on culture and musical aesthetics.

description: The Sagittarius dwarf Spheroidal galaxy is the nearest neighbor of the Milky Way. Moving along a short period quasi-polar orbit within the Halo, it is being destroyed by the tidal interaction with our Galaxy, losing its stellar content along a huge stellar stream. We study the detailed chemical composition of 12 giant stars in the Sagittarius dwarf Spheroidal main body, together with 5 more in the associated globular cluster Terzan 7 by means of high resolution VLT-UVES spectra. Abundances are derived for up to 21 elements from O to Nd, by fitting lines EW or line profiles against ATLAS 9 model atmospheres and SYNTHE spectral syntheses calculated ad-hoc. Temperatures are derived from (V-I)_0 or (B-V)_0 colors, gravities from Fe I - Fe II ionization equilibrium. The metallicity of the observed stars is between [Fe/H]=-0.9 and 0. We detected a highly peculiar ``chemical signature'', with undersolar alpha elements, Na, Al, Sc, V, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn among others, and overabundant La, Ce and Nd. Many of these abundance ratios (in particular light-odd elements and iron peak ones) are strongly at odds with what is observed within the Milky Way, they thus may be a very useful tool to recognize populations originated within the Sagittarius dwarf. This can be clearly seen in the case of the globular Palomar 12, which is believed to have been stripped from Sagittarius: the cluster shows precisely the same chemical ``oddities'', thus finally confirming its extragalactic origin.

description: Feynman-Vernon influence functional (IF) was originally introduced to describe the effect of a quantum environment on the dynamics of an open quantum system. We apply the IF approach to describe quantum many-body dynamics in isolated spin systems, viewing the system as an environment for its local subsystems. While the IF can be computed exactly only in certain many-body models, it generally satisfies a self-consistency equation, provided the system, or an ensemble of systems, are translationally invariant. We view the IF as a fictitious wavefunction in the temporal domain, and approximate it using matrix-product states (MPS). This approach is efficient provided the temporal entanglement of the IF is sufficiently low. We illustrate the versatility of the IF approach by analyzing several models that exhibit a range of dynamical behaviors, from thermalizing to many-body localized. In particular, we study the non-equilibrium dynamics in the quantum Ising model in both Floquet and Hamiltonian settings. We find that temporal entanglement entropy may be significantly lower compared to the spatial entanglement and analyze the IF in the continuous-time limit. We simulate the thermodynamic-limit evolution of local observables in various regimes, including the relaxation of impurities embedded in an infinite-temperature chain, and the long-lived oscillatory dynamics of the magnetization associated with the confinement of excitations. By incorporating disorder-averaging into the formalism, we analyze discrete time-crystalline response using the IF method. In this case, we find that the temporal entanglement entropy scales logarithmically with evolution time. The IF approach offers a new lens on many-body non-equilibrium phenomena, both in ergodic and non-ergodic regimes, connecting the theory of open quantum systems theory to quantum statistical physics.

We show that in general the invariant string size remains finite at sudden future singularities while it grows to infinity at a Big-Rip. This claim is based on the discussion of both the tensile and null strings. In conclusion, strings may survive a sudden future singularity, but not a Big-Rip where they are infinitely stretched.

description: The origin and phenomenology of the Fast Radio Burst (FRB) remains unknown despite more than a decade of efforts. Though several models have been proposed to explain the observed data, none is able to explain alone the variety of events so far recorded. The leading models consider magnetars as potential FRB sources. The recent detection of FRBs from the galactic magnetar SGR J1935+2154 seems to support them. Still, emission duration and energetic budget challenge all these models. Like for other classes of objects initially detected in a single band, it appeared clear that any solution to the FRB enigma could only come from a coordinated observational and theoretical effort in an as wide as possible energy band. In particular, the detection and localisation of optical/NIR or/and high-energy counterparts seemed an unavoidable starting point that could shed light on the FRB physics. Multiwavelength (MWL) search campaigns were conducted for several FRBs, in particular for repeaters. Here we summarize the observational and theoretical results and the perspectives in view of the several new sources accurately localised that will likely be identified by various radio facilities worldwide. We conclude that more dedicated MWL campaigns sensitive to the millisecond--minute timescale transients are needed to address the various aspects involved in the identification of FRB counterparts. Dedicated instrumentation could be one of the key points in this respect. In the optical/NIR band, fast photometry looks to be the only viable strategy. Additionally, small/medium size radiotelescopes co-pointing higher energies telescopes look a very interesting and cheap complementary observational strategy.

Review of Nicholas Cook. 2007. The Schenker Project: Culture, Race and Music Theory in Fine-de-siecle Vienna. Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press
Creators: name: Tunbridge, Laura
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2009

description: Nicholas Cook states the aim of his book to be “construct a meaningful relationship” in place of the perceived “cultural chasm” between our world and Heinrich Schenker’s. Cook takes his title from James Heposki’s 1991 article “The Dahlhaus Project”, and both Schenker and Dahlhaus in many ways represent opposing poles- the formalist versus the cultural historian- and their simultaneous reassessment may be only coincidence. But such events may possibly indicate the consolidation of a generational shift: now that the “new musicologists” have become the establishment, polemics about getting out of/getting into analysis or the supremacy of German instrumental music are being being replaced by accounts of Schenker or Dahlhaus as cultural phenomena.

On Invariant volumes of codimension-one Anosov flows and the Verjovsky conjecture

description: We show that any topologically transitive codimension-one Anosov flow on a closed manifold is topologically equivalent to a smooth Anosov flow that preserves a smooth volume. By a classical theorem due to Verjovsky, any higher dimensional codimension-one Anosov flow is topologically transitive. Recently, Simic showed that any higher dimensional codimension-one Anosov flow that preserves a smooth volume is topologically equivalent to the suspension of an Anosov diffeomorphism. Therefore, our result gives a complete classification of codimension-one Anosov flow up to topological equivalence in higher dimensions. In this second version, the order of the presentation of the proof is changed and some minor errors in the previous version is corrected.

The mass function of dense molecular cores and the origin of the IMF

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Context: Stars form in the cold dense cores of interstellar molecular clouds and the detailed knowledge of the spectrum of masses of such cores is clearly a key for the understanding of the origin of the IMF. To date, observations have presented somewhat contradictory evidence relating to this issue. Aims: In this paper we propose to derive the mass function of a complete sample of dense molecular cores in a single cloud employing a robust method that uses uses extinction of background starlight to measure core masses and enables the reliable extension of such measurements to lower masses than previously possible. Methods: We use a map of near-infrared extinction in the nearby Pipe dark cloud to identify the population of dense cores in the cloud and measure their masses. Results: We identify 159 dense cores and construct the mass function for this population. We present the first robust evidence for a departure from a single power-law form in the mass function of a population of cores and find that this mass function is surprisingly similar in shape to the stellar IMF but scaled to a higher mass by a factor of about 3. This suggests that the distribution of stellar birth masses (IMF) is the direct product of the dense core mass function and a uniform star formation efficiency of 30%+/-10%, and that the stellar IMF may already be fixed during or before the earliest stages of core evolution. These results are consistent with previous dust continuum studies which suggested that the IMF directly originates from the core mass function. The typical density of ~10^4/cm^3 measured for the dense cores in this cloud suggests that the mass scale that characterizes the dense core mass function may be the result of a simple process of thermal (Jeans) fragmentation.

Heat tranfser and crack formation in water-cooled zinc fuming furnace jackets
Creators: name: Scholey, Kenneth Erwin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In the zinc slag fuming process, zinc is extracted from lead blast furnace slag by reduction with a coal/air mixture injected into the slag through submerged tuyeres. The furnace is constructed of water-cooled jackets to contain the molten bath and freeze a protective slag layer. The slag layer greatly reduces vessel wear caused by the corrosive and violently agitated bath. However, the jackets are known to develop cracks in the working face panel that initiate on the slag face and propagate towards the water cavity. If the cracks reach the water cavity explosions may result should the molten slag come into contact with the water. In this study an analysis of heat transfer in the jacket has been carried out using in-plant measurements and mathematical modelling. The working face of a water jacket was instrumented with thermocouples and positioned in a fuming furnace at the Trail smelter of Cominco Ltd. Measurements revealed the presence of large thermal transients or temperature "spikes" in the panel approximately 20 cm above the tuyeres. The transients were observed during charging and tapping of the furnace and are likely associated with slag fall-off due to surface wave action and gas injection effects when the bath level is low. Temperatures at the mid-thickness were seen to rise by as much as 180 °C above the steady-state level. Under these conditions large compressive stresses are produced in the panel that are sufficient to cause yielding. Over time, the transients lead to low-cycle fatigue of the working face panel with crack formation initiating at pre-existing surface flaws. A mathematical modelling analysis of the transient freezing phenomena has been carried out using the finite element method. The results indicate that the temperature spikes are associated with the sudden removal of patches of slag and molten slag coming into direct contact with the jacket. The temperature spikes are large enough to generate compressive stresses that cause yielding of the material in the exposed area. In order to reduce the damage caused by the removal of the slag shell an increased number of anchoring studs should be used in critical areas and a higher water circulation velocity should be employed to increase the size of the frozen slag layer and its strength.

An unexpected consequence of this result is that for many non-closed symplectic manifolds (including cotangent bundles), the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms (with no assumptions on supports) has no C^{-1} bi-invariant metric. Our methods also provide a new proof of Gromov-Eliashberg Theorem, it is to say that the group of symplectic diffeomorphisms is C^0-closed in the group of all diffeomorphisms.

description: The results on the initial boundary value problem for Einstein's vacuum field equation obtained in \cite{friedrich:nagy} rely on an unusual gauge. One of the defining gauge source functions represents the mean extrinsic curvature of the time-like leaves of a foliation that includes the boundary and covers a neighbourhoood of it. The others steer the development of a frame field and coordinates on the leaves. In general their combined action is needed to control in the context of the reduced field equations the evolution of the leaves. In this article are derived the hyperbolic equations implicit in that gauge. It is shown that the latter are independent of the Einstein equations and well defined on arbitrary space-times. The analysis simplifies if boundary conditions with constant mean extrinsic curvature are stipulated. It simplifies further if the boundary is required to be totally geodesic.

description: I first read this book when it came out in French in 2001. Back then I used to think that a progressive expansion of the musical horizon of any individual or society could only be considered positive among ethnomusicologists. Not surprisingly, this was the fundamental tenet of the Kodaly method of music education: a child naturally learns the mother tongue before learning foreign ones. So he/she should learn his musical mother tongue first, that is, the folk music of his native country, and then move on (according to Kodaly) to Western classical music. Ethnomusicologists, of course, recommend go-ing much further-in other words, musical explorations, unlike travelling across unfamiliar places, would entail no dangers-only pleasant discoveries. But then, as I read the book for the first time, I realized I was reading an articulated narrative showing, from various angles, how musical contacts and exchanges among music cultures are not an idyllic and harmonious process but, on the contrary, rather problematic ones.

description: The mitochondrial deubiquitinase USP30 is a key antagonistic regulator of mitophagy. The potential of USP30 inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for Parkinson’s disease is currently being explored in clinical trials. However, the molecular basis for specific inhibition of USP30 by small molecules has remained elusive because of the limited crystallizability of USP30. This dissertation reports the crystal structure of human USP30 in complex with a specific inhibitor, enabled by chimeric protein engineering. The thesis uncovers a unique mode of deubiquitinase inhibition in which the inhibitor extends into a cryptic pocket facilitated by a compound-induced conformation of the USP30 switching loop. The thesis underscores the potential of exploring induced pockets and conformational dynamics to obtain specific deubiquitinase inhibitors and identifies underlying USP30-specific residues. More broadly, the obtained structure helped to delineate a conceptual framework for specific USP deubiquitinase inhibition based on a common ligandability hotspot in the Leu73-Ubiquitin binding site and on diverse compound extensions. Collectively, this dissertation establishes a generalizable chimeric protein engineering strategy to aid deubiquitinase crystallization and enables structure-based drug design with relevance to neurodegeneration.
The Dwarf Satellites of M31 and the Galaxy
Creators: name: Bergh, Sidney van den
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The satellite systems of M31 and the Galaxy are compared. It is noted that all five of the suspected stripped dSph cores of M31 companions are located within a projected distance of 40 kpc of from the nucleus of this galaxy, whereas the normal dSph companions to this object have distances > 40 kpc from the center of M31. All companions within 200 kpc < D(M31) < 600 kpc are late-type objects. The companions to the Galaxy appear to exhibit different systematics with the irregular LMC and SMC being located at small R_{gc}. It is speculated that this difference might be accounted for by assuming that the Magellanic Clouds are interlopers that were originally formed in the outer reaches of the Local Group. The radial distribution of the total sample of 40 companions of M31 and the Galaxy, which is shown in Figure 1, may hint at the possibility that these objects contain distinct populations of core (R < 25 kpc) and halo (R > 25 kpc) satellites.)

Review of Christina Bashford. 2007. The Pursuit of High Culture: John Ella and Chamber Music in Victorian London. Woodbridge, UK: Boydell
Creators: name: Solie, Ruth A.
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2009

description: Christina Bashford has titled and subtitled her new book appropriately: although it takes the overt form of a biography of Victorian musical entrepreneur John Ella, it is also a much broader project concerning musical life, repertory, and audiences in nineteenth-century Britain. Ella is a perfect embodiment of the century’s larger trends, as well as the social and cultural background, as Bashford explains. Bashfords book concentrates a great deal on repertory and on the meaning and implication of repertory choices. She is admirably self-conscious about the questions of method of analysis, however, and explains her choices.

Hearing Glenn Gould's Body: Corporeal Liveness in Recorded Music
Creators: name: Sanden, Paul
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2009

description: Live music does not exist without its recorded other. In other words, the concept of liveness in music was unknown until there was something not live-recordings-with which to compare it. Sarah Thornton describes the conventional ideology of liveness, which derived from a live/recorded binarism, as historically giving "positive valuation to ... performed music. [The word 'live'] soaked up the aesthetic and ethical connotations of life-versus-death, human -versus-mechanical, creative-versus-imitative ... Liveness became the truth of music, the seeds of genuine culture. Records, by contrast, were false prophets of pseudo-culture" (1995:42). Liveness, at least as historically constructed, signified the authenticity of human musical production and performance, always considered in contrast with the artifice of electronic reproductions.

description: In this paper, we define a stochastic Sierpinski gasket, on the basis of which we construct a network called random Sierpinski network (RSN). We investigate analytically or numerically the statistical characteristics of RSN. The obtained results reveal that the properties of RSN is particularly rich, it is simultaneously scale-free, small-world, uncorrelated, modular, and maximal planar. All obtained analytical predictions are successfully contrasted with extensive numerical simulations. Our network representation method could be applied to study the complexity of some real systems in biological and information fields.

A Paper Trail: Missa Jouyssance vous donneray, Uncertain Identity, and the National Institutes of Health’s “Bathtub Collection”
Creators: name: Robertson, Emily
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2009

description: In a storeroom of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Library of Medicine’s History of Medicine Division are seven gray boxes full of envelopes of yellowed paper scraps. These fragments constitute the little-known ‘Bathtub Collection.’ … The hundreds of tiny pieces of paper span almost eight centuries, eight languages, and countless sources, both print and manuscript. Their contents include pages from the Vulgate Bible, personal letters, pamphlets, playing cards, announcements, and music. At present, the fragments are catalogued in file folders according to the bookbinding from which they came. Little research has been done on the “Bathtub Collection.’ After examining the bindings, Schullian wrote a paper chronicling their contents that was read at the 1953 meeting of the Bibliographical Society of America and subsequently published. In 1997, Dr. Walton Schalick III submitted a similar article to the American Historical Association suggesting that more work be done on this remarkable collection, both in preservation and research. In response to Schalick’s article, the NIH hired a preservation intern, Sandra Provenzano, for four months to re-package the fragments in more archive friendly envelopes and boxes (Waring 2002). Carol Clausen, current curator at the NLM, then wrote a detailed report focusing on four manuscript pages of music taken from the binding of Giovanni Andrea della Croce’s Chirurgiae Ioannis Andreae a Cruce, Veneti medici libri septem (henceforth Chirurgiae), published in Venice in 1573 (Clausen 2004). The four leaves of manuscript staff paper contain Latin-texted music from Franco-Flemish Masses and motets. These liturgical compositions were usually written for four to six voices overall, but they often included duo or trio sections. The manuscript contains only these bicinia, or sections of music for two voices. Each sheet of manuscript paper is divided in half horizontally, with the music facing the top of the page on one half and the bottom on the other, indicating that the pages were intended to be cut and bound as a partbook. Over the centuries, the paper has been marked, cut, torn, and chewed. Most of the surviving notation is still legible, but large pieces are missing from the pages. A roughly two-inch square was neatly cut out of the center of the last sheet of staff paper, on which no music was copied.
