Thomas Emmerig. Joseph Riepel (1709-1782): Hofkapellmeister des Fürsten von Thurn und Taxis
Creators: Knouse, Nola Reed

Subjects: Music
Biography

description: Thomas Emmerig's Joseph Riepel (1709-1782): Hifkapellmeister des Fürsten von Thurn und Taxis, volume 14 in the Thurn- und Taxis-Studien, is a welcome work which should be of central significance in the recent revival of interest in the life and work of Joseph Riepel. This relatively small volume (177 pages, including indices) contains a biography and catalog of Riepel's theoretical writings as well as a complete and thoroughly annotated thematic catalog of his compositions. Emmerig's biography of Riepel draws heavily upon Riepel's own writings. The design of Emmerig's book is clear; its contents readily accessible. Following a brief foreword, Emmerig presents an exhaustive bibliography in three segments: unpublished sources, literature specifically about Riepel, and other related articles and books. Next comes a thorough biography in which Emmerig quotes extensively from Riepel's own writings. Following this is the thematic catalog itself, in which the works are grouped according to genre. Persons, places, and titles of works and texts are then indexed, and the work concludes with twenty-five photographs of significant persons and places in Riepel's life as well as facsimiles of title pages from some of his compositions and theoretical works. Because in the majority of his works Riepel writes in a colloquial style, presenting a dialogue between student and teacher, Emmerig has been able to glean a great deal of information about the details of Riepel's life, much of which cannot be found in other existing primary sources.
The Symphony as Described by J. A. P. Schulz (1774): A Commentary and Translation
Creators: Churgin, Bathia
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1980
Subjects: Music

description: In recent years we have come to recognize more and more the significance of Classic theoretical sources for our understanding of the Classic style. J. Schulz definition is often recognized as the most well known. The symphony article in volume 2 was written by J. A. P. Schulz (1747-1800), probably in 1773 when he was twenty-six. Although the great Berlin theorist J. P. Kirnberger had been responsible for all the music articles in Sulzer's Theorie up to the one on "Modulation," Schulz furnished material for this and succeeding articles, becoming the sole author of all articles starting with the letter "S" to the end of the alphabet. Sulzer's Theorie had remarkable success. Especially striking in Schulz's definition is his enumeration of textural contrasts that include both homophonic and imitative settings, unison passages, and independent bass and middle voices. These comments underscore the great importance of textural diversification in Classic music, a still neglected trait of Classic style.

description: Inflation due to a non-minimally coupled scalar field with a large non-minimal coupling, as first proposed by Salopek, Bardeen and Bond (SBB), is in good agreement with the observed value of the spectral index and constraints on the tensor-to-scalar ratio. Here we explore the possibility that SBB inflation represents the late stage of a Universe which emerges from an early contracting era. We present a model in which the Universe smoothly transitions from an anamorphic contracting era to late-time SBB inflation without encountering a singular bounce. This corresponds to a continuous expansion in the Einstein frame throughout. We show that the anamorphic contracting era is able to provide the smooth superhorizon initial conditions necessary for subsequent SBB inflation to occur. The model predicts corrections to the non-minimal coupling, kinetic term and potential of SBB inflation which can observably increase the observed spectral index relative to its SBB prediction.

Pilot Study to Quantify Microbial Contamination of Drinking Water and Assess Water Collection and Treatment Practices among Students in Lagos State Model College Boarding Houses
Creators: name: Ibidapo, Oluwaseyi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: A study was carried out in 6 randomly selected Lagos State Model College (LASMOC) boarding schools to determine the quality of drinking water available to students at these schools, and to assess the water collection, treatment and storage practices of the students. Questionnaires were administered to collect information of water practices, and water samples were collected in each selected school to determine microbial and physical properties. Results showed that majority of the students who treated their water did so for hygienic purposes and not for drinking use. The results of water analysis showed poor quality of drinking water available in the schools. The data showed that 62.96% (17 of 27) of the samples had total coliform levels counts greater than 200.5MPN/100ml and 14.81% (4 of 27) samples had concentrations of E. coli above lOOMPN/lOOml. After treating the samples with Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) tablets, total coliform and E. coli concentration in water samples (p<.0001 and p=.0065 respectively) were reduced significantly.

description: According to World Economic Forum (2021), workers daily stress reached a record high in 2020. Workers in US and Canada showed the highest level of daily stress, with 57% in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has highly impacted the personal well-being and social and working life of millions of people globally. Malaysians reported the highest level of anxiety among 12,823 employed online adults aged 16-74 across 28 countries between November and December 2020 based on research conducted by Ipsos on its Global Advisor online platform (Ipsos Malaysia, 2021). There is an unexpectedly high percentage of Malaysians who experienced increased anxiety around job security at 74% compared to a global share of 56%, and stress due to changes in work routines and
 organization at 67% compared to a worldwide percentage of 55%, respectively. Besides, 10% of the employees lost their jobs, and 7% of employees chose to leave their jobs during this COVID-19 pandemic at the end of 2020 in Malaysia. Although stress is a potential killer to a person's health and well-being, several studies have shown that seven consecutive vacation days provided an efficient recovery strategy

Constraining Gravity at the Largest Scales through CMB Lensing and Galaxy Velocities

description: We demonstrate a new method to constrain gravity on the largest cosmological scales by combining measurements of cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing and the galaxy velocity field. $E_G$ is a statistic, constructed from a gravitational lensing tracer and a measure of velocities such as redshift-space distortions (RSD), that can discriminate between gravity models while being independent of clustering bias and $σ_8$. While traditionally, the lensing field for $E_G$ has been probed through galaxy lensing, CMB lensing has been proposed as a more robust tracer of the lensing field for $E_G$ at higher redshifts while avoiding intrinsic alignments. We perform the largest-scale measurement of $E_G$ ever, up to 150 Mpc/$h$, by cross-correlating the Planck CMB lensing map with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) CMASS galaxy sample and combining this with our measurement of the CMASS auto-power spectrum and the RSD parameter $β$. We report $E_G(z=0.57)=0.243\pm0.060$ (stat) $\pm0.013$ (sys), a measurement in tension with the general relativity prediction at a level of 2.6$σ$. Note that our $E_G$ measurement deviates from GR only at scales greater than 80 Mpc/$h$, scales which have not been probed by previous $E_G$ tests. Upcoming surveys, which will provide an order-of-magnitude reduction in statistical errors, can significantly constrain alternative gravity models when combined with better control of systematics.

description: Rawlins' article explains the large and growing body of jazz literature. He discusses the areas of jazz biography, discography, history, and sociology and the generations of famous jazz writers that have come and gone, some having achieved greater recognition than many jazz musicians themselves. Thomas Owens's Bebop: The Music and the Players attempts to explicate the improvisatory style that many feel lies at the very core of the jazz tradition. His idealistic view of jazz improvisation merely reflects a common opinion that has held sway among jazz audiences and performers alike, despite the recorded evidence. In the REVIEWS 109 end, he has succeeded in compiling a wealth of material on bebop and its major performers, and in so doing he has made a significant contribution to the jazz literature.

Timothy McGee, editor, with A. G. Rigg and David N. Klausner. Singing Early Music: The Pronunciation of European Languages in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance
Creators: Rice, Eric
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1998
Subjects: Music

description: Singing Early Music is designed primarily as a practical handbook for performers based on sound linguistic scholarship. It offers important advice to singers and choral conductors, and it is of interest to musicologists and literary scholars as well. Much of the information presented was not easily accessible to performers prior to the book's publication, and this information has been gathered and presented in a clear, concise, interesting, and, above all, convenient fashion. This is an eminently useful book, but it needs to be used with discretion.
When the Music of Psychoanalysis Becomes the Psychoanalysis of Music

description: Since the invention of aesthetics in the eighteenth century, philosophers have long taken music as a paradigm case for asserting a realm that is beyond the reach of linguistic signification and implicated instead in an ineffable higher truth about the workings of the world. Whether this interest
took the form of Wackenroder's idealism (in which music occupied a pure angelic domain independent of the actual world), or Schopenhauer's endlessly striving Will (to which music bore the closest of all possible analogies), or Nietzsche's Dionysian strain (which represented the rapturous musical frenzy that destroyed the veils of maya and freed us from norms, images, rules and restraint), or Kierkegaard's analysis of the absolutely musical (which best exemplified the highly erotic striving of the pure un-mediated life force), music has frequently served as a discursive site for speculation on the limits of philosophy, knowledge, and meaning.

description: We present extended modeling of the strong lens system RXJ1131-1231 with archival data in two HST bands in combination with existing line-of-sight contribution and velocity dispersion estimates. Our focus is on source size and its influence on time-delay cosmography. We therefore examine the impact of mass-sheet degeneracy and especially the degeneracy pointed out by Schneider & Sluse (2013) using the source reconstruction scale. We also extend on previous work by further exploring the effects of priors on the kinematics of the lens and the external convergence in the environment of the lensing system. Our results coming from RXJ1131-1231 are given in a simple analytic form so that they can be easily combined with constraints coming from other cosmological probes. We find that the choice of priors on lens model parameters and source size are subdominant for the statistical errors for $H_0$ measurements of this systems. The choice of prior for the source is sub-dominant at present (2% uncertainty on $H_0$) but may be relevant for future studies. More importantly, we find that the priors on the kinematic anisotropy of the lens galaxy have a significant impact on our cosmological inference. When incorporating all the above modeling uncertainties, we find $H_0 = 86.6^{+6.8}_{-6.9}$ km s$^{-1}$Mpc$^{-1}$, when using kinematic priors similar to other studies. When we use a different kinematic prior motivated by Barnabè et al. (2012) but covering the same anisotropic range, we find $H_0 = 74.5^{+8.0}_{-7.8}$ km s$^{-1}$Mpc$^{-1}$. This means that the choice of kinematic modeling and priors have a significant impact on cosmographic inferences. The way forward is either to get better velocity dispersion measures which would down weight the impact of the priors or to construct physically motivated priors for the velocity dispersion model.

description: The ill-posed analytic continuation problem for Green's functions and self-energies is investigated by revisiting the Padé approximants technique. We propose to remedy the well-known problems of the Padé approximants by performing an average of several continuations, obtained by varying the number of fitted input points and Padé coefficients independently. The suggested approach is then applied to several test cases, including Sm and Pr atomic self-energies, the Green's functions of the Hubbard model for a Bethe lattice and of the Haldane model for a nano-ribbon, as well as two special test functions. The sensitivity to numerical noise and the dependence on the precision of the numerical libraries are analysed in detail. The present approach is compared to a number of other techniques, i.e. the non-negative least-square method, the non-negative Tikhonov method and the maximum entropy method, and is shown to perform well for the chosen test cases. This conclusion holds even when the noise on the input data is increased to reach values typical for quantum Monte Carlo simulations. The ability of the algorithm to resolve fine structures is finally illustrated for two relevant test functions.

Time-course Comparison of Xenobiotic Activators of CAR and PPAR-alpha in Mouse Liver
Creators: name: Ross, Pamela K.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and Peroxisome Proliferator Activated-Receptor (PPAR)-alpha are two nuclear receptors of interest which are activated by phenobarbital (PB) and WY-14,643 (WY), respectively. In order to capture the global transcriptional changes that result from activation of these nuclear receptors over a time course, microarray technology was used to establish fingerprints of gene expression in the mouse liver. First, we examined differences in basal expression between wild-type and Car-null mice and found 14 significantly differentially expressed genes. Next, Extraction of Differential Gene Expression (EDGE) algorithm was used to identify genes that changed with regards to both time and treatment, and these genes were submitted to the Gene Ontology (GO) Database to identify significantly enriched biological pathways. While several pathways dealing with cellular proliferation and metabolism were identified in the wild-type, no significant pathways were found to change over time in the Car-nulls. Next, to determine commonalities and differences in the temporal response to activators of CAR and PPAR-alpha, gene expression signatures from wild-type mice treated with PB or WY were compared. Similar pathways were affected by both compounds, but the regulation of these genes showed differences over time. This study establishes common fingerprints of exposure to activators of CAR and PPAR-alpha in rodent liver and demonstrates the changes that correlate with the presence or absence of a corresponding nuclear receptor.

description: RNA processing is increasingly recognized as a critical control point in the regulation of different hematopoietic lineages including megakaryocytes responsible for the production of platelets. Platelets are anucleate cytoplasts that contain a rich repertoire of RNAs encoding proteins with essential platelet functions derived from the parent megakaryocyte. It is largely unknown how RNA binding proteins contribute to the development and functions of megakaryocytes and platelets. We show that serine-arginine–rich splicing factor 3 (SRSF3) is essential for megakaryocyte maturation and generation of functional platelets. Megakaryocyte-specific deletion of Srsf3 in mice led to macrothrombocytopenia characterized by megakaryocyte maturation arrest, dramatically reduced platelet counts, and abnormally large functionally compromised platelets. SRSF3 deficient megakaryocytes failed to reprogram their transcriptome during maturation and to load platelets with RNAs required for normal platelet function. SRSF3 depletion led to nuclear accumulation of megakaryocyte mRNAs, demonstrating that SRSF3 deploys similar RNA regulatory mechanisms in megakaryocytes as in other cell types. Our study further suggests that SRSF3 plays a role in sorting cytoplasmic megakaryocyte RNAs into platelets and demonstrates how SRSF3-mediated RNA processing forms a central part of megakaryocyte gene regulation. Understanding SRSF3 functions in megakaryocytes and platelets provides key insights into normal thrombopoiesis and platelet pathologies as SRSF3 RNA targets in megakaryocytes are associated with platelet diseases.
Thermalization of Wightman functions in AdS/CFT and quasinormal modes

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study the time evolution of Wightman two-point functions of scalar fields in AdS$_3$-Vaidya, a spacetime undergoing gravitational collapse. In the boundary field theory, the collapse corresponds to a quench process where the dual 1+1 dimensional CFT is taken out of equilibrium and subsequently thermalizes. From the two-point function, we extract an effective occupation number in the boundary theory and study how it approaches the thermal Bose-Einstein distribution. We find that the Wightman functions, as well as the effective occupation numbers, thermalize with a rate set by the lowest quasinormal mode of the scalar field in the BTZ black hole background. We give a heuristic argument for the quasinormal decay, which is expected to apply to more general Vaidya spacetimes also in higher dimensions. This suggests a unified picture in which thermalization times of one- and two-point functions are determined by the lowest quasinormal mode. Finally, we study how these results compare to previous calculations of two-point functions based on the geodesic approximation.

description: We propose an automatic system for organizing the content of a collection of unstructured videos of an articulated object class (e.g. tiger, horse). By exploiting the recurring motion patterns of the class across videos, our system: 1) identifies its characteristic behaviors; and 2) recovers pixel-to-pixel alignments across different instances. Our system can be useful for organizing video collections for indexing and retrieval. Moreover, it can be a platform for learning the appearance or behaviors of object classes from Internet video. Traditional supervised techniques cannot exploit this wealth of data directly, as they require a large amount of time-consuming manual annotations. The behavior discovery stage generates temporal video intervals, each automatically trimmed to one instance of the discovered behavior, clustered by type. It relies on our novel motion representation for articulated motion based on the displacement of ordered pairs of trajectories (PoTs). The alignment stage aligns hundreds of instances of the class to a great accuracy despite considerable appearance variations (e.g. an adult tiger and a cub). It uses a flexible Thin Plate Spline deformation model that can vary through time. We carefully evaluate each step of our system on a new, fully annotated dataset. On behavior discovery, we outperform the state-of-the-art Improved DTF descriptor. On spatial alignment, we outperform the popular SIFT Flow algorithm.

description: Black phosphorus (BP) has attracted significant interest as a monolayer or few-layer material with extraordinary electrical and optoelectronic properties. However, degradation in air and other environments is an unresolved issue that may limit future applications. In particular the role of different ambient species has remained controversial. Here, we report systematic experiments combined with ab-initio calculations that address the effects of oxygen and water in the degradation of BP. Our results show that BP rapidly degrades whenever oxygen is present, but is unaffected by deaerated (i.e., O2 depleted) water. This behavior is rationalized by oxidation involving a facile dissociative chemisorption of O2, whereas H2O molecules are weakly physisorbed and do not dissociate on the BP surface. Oxidation (by O2) turns the hydrophobic pristine BP surface progressively hydrophilic. Our results have implications on the development of encapsulation strategies for BP, and open new avenues for exploration of phenomena in aqueous solutions including solution-gating, electrochemistry, and solution-phase approaches for exfoliation, dispersion, and delivery of BP.

Year: 2003

description: Biological safety cabinets (BSC) are the primary containment devices that protect the worker, product and environment from exposure to microbiological agents. Proper management of a biological safety cabinet program is important to comply with standards and guidelines. Understanding how other institutions manage their BSC certification program could assist other institutions in improving their program. This study was designed to assess how major universities, hospitals and private research institutions manage their BSC program through the use of a survey questionnaire. The results indicated most of the institution's BSC programs are marginally variable. Institutions are using in-house certifiers and outside vendors to conduct BSC certifications. The certifications are mainly conducted on a semi-annual or annual bases. Most of the institutions are charged comparable rates for BSC certifications and indicated that they were mostly satisfied with their BSC program.

High-speed FSK Modulator Using Switched-capacitor Resonators
Creators: name: Salehi, Mohsen
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Detectors (physics.ins-det)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, an ultra-fast frequency shift-keying (FSK) modulation technique based on switched capacitor resonators is presented. It is demonstrated that switching a reactive component such as a capacitor, in a high-Q resonator with proper switching signal can preserve the stored energy and shift it to a different frequency. Switching boundaries are found by continuity of electric charge and magnetic flux. It is shown that if switching time is synchronous with zero crossing of the voltage signal across the switched capacitor, impulsive components can be avoided and continuity of electric charge is satisfied without energy dissipation. We use this property to realize a fast binary frequency-shift keying (FSK) modulator with only a single RF source. In this technique, the modulation rate is independent of the resonator bandwidth and can be as high as the lower carrier frequency. Experimental results are presented to validate the simulations.

Development of a Method for Determining the Respirable Mass Fraction of a Bulk Sample

Year: 1991

description: The recent designation of crystalline respirable silica as a carcinogen has created a need for simple laboratory methods to determine the mass fraction of respirable particles in bulk silica-containing materials. Results could influence whether labeling would or would not be required. A liquid sedimentation technique was used to obtain cumulative size distributions for a variety of silica-containing dusts. These results were plotted as cumulative size distributions for the test dusts. The percentage of particles having an equivalent aerodynamic diameter less than 3.5 micrometers was taken to represent the respirable mass fraction of the original bulk material. Validation studies of the sedimentation method were carried out by comparing the results to actual respirable mass fraction measurements. A uniform dust cloud of the test material was generated within an acrylic chamber. Respirable samples and total dust samples (i.e. dust collected on a PVC filter without a precollector) were collected. The ratio of the respirable dust to total dust was used to represent the respirable mass fraction of the airborne material. Side-by-side comparisons of the sedimentation and cyclone respirable fraction measurements were in close agreement with a maximum deviation of ±5%. This study concludes that sedimentation methods can be used for determining the respirable fraction of certain silica-containing dusts. The sedimentation method provides a rapid, inexpensive, and easy method for obtaining accurate and reproducible estimates of the respirable fraction of bulk dust samples.

Lori-10 Personal Cascade Impactor: A Performance Evaluation
Creators: name: Bland, Katie A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Impactors have been used since 1860 to collect and analyze particles in the air. A cascade impactor uses a series of impactors to separate particles according to size. While most jet plates in cascade impactors have round or rectangular jets, the Linear Orifice Impactor (Lori-10), a cascade impactor developed by BGI, contains two stages designed with annular rings (d[50] cutpoints of 10 and 4 μm), and two stages designed with round jets (d[50] cutpoints of 2.5 and 1 μm). The performance of this impactor was evaluated using a series of tests with both a liquid and a solid particulate aerosol. Tests measured the efficiency of each stage to collect particles at its designed cut point. Impactor performance was also evaluated by comparing mass size distributions found using an Aerodynamic Particle Sizer that sampled simultaneously with the Lori-10 impactor. Tests indicated that impactor design was effective for collection of the liquid aerosol, but was less effective for collection of the solid aerosol at sizes intended by the design. Several different collection substrates were used in measuring efficiency with the solid particles, but particle bounce was a problem for all substrates evaluated. Mass size distributions calculated after weighing substrates from the impactor did not agree well with mass size distributions determined using the Aerodynamic Particle Sizer. Results indicated that the design of the Lori-10 impactor should be improved.

description: The proposed scoping review contributes to an underdeveloped research area by investigating the dimensions and elements of the Great Teaching Toolkit (GTT; Coe et al., 2020) to describe effective teaching behaviours specifically tailored to students with SEN. Thereupon, this scoping review focusses on contexts where students with SEN are being educated, i.e. inclusive and special classrooms. This scoping review has three main goals: (1) to map out gaps in the current literature regarding study characteristics of studies investigating effective teaching for students with SEN, (2) to provide an overview of effective teaching behaviours for students with SEN outlined within the GTT framework (Coe et al., 2020) and (3) to explore possible differences in effective teaching behaviours with regard to the educational context where students with SEN are being educated, i.e. inclusive or special education classrooms. To accomplish these aims, two distinct steps will be taken. First, a systematic literature search will be conducted to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing literature regarding effective teaching behaviours that teachers implement in their classroom to support and educate students with SEN in special and inclusive education settings. These effective teaching behaviours will be classified within the dimensions and elements of the GTT framework. Second, an overview of several study characteristics of the literature included will be given such as kinds of specific needs (SEN) of students, methodology and the specific student outcomes for which the effectiveness of the teaching behaviour(s) is investigated.
