The prosodic structure of Finnish and the theory of phonological government
Creators: name: Millard, David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The goal of this thesis is to examine same of the claims of the Theory of Phonological Government in the light of data taken from the Finnish language. The Theory of Phonological Government describes the organization of segments into constituent groupings on the basis of government relations established at the level of Underlying Representation. These prosodic constituents are related to each other, again in terms of government. While these prosodic constituents are functionally similar to traditional notions of the syllable, division of a surface string into syllables does not necessarily yield the relations predicted by the theory. Government Theory, then, makes predictions which are different from those of other syllable theories and these predictions can be tested. The Finnish language exhibits a number of phonological processes that are sensitive to prosodic structure and thus offers an excellent test case for the theory. Chapter One presents an overview of the theory and the predictions it makes. Chapter Two examines same general phonological characteristics of Finnish. In Chapter Three I examine two prosodically-influenced segmental deletion processes that interact with each other and shows how Government Theory accounts for than in a principled fashion with minimal appeal to specific 'rules' of deletion. In Chapter Four I examine the process of Consonant Gradation, a mutation process that is driven by syllable structure. In Chapter Five I demonstrate that certain surface strings of segments that appear to be CVVC and CVCC syllables are best treated as being other than syllables and show how the theory not only accounts for the data but also predicts the existence of such non-syllabic strings. Finally, in Chapter Six I resume the discussion of Consonant Gradation and examine the nature of some exceptional gradation forms, showing how the theory accounts for these more unusual forms.
Double white dwarf merger remnants as low frequency gravitational wave sources

Subjects: white dwarfs ; binary stars; gravitational wave ; hydrodynamics

description: We propose a new category of low frequency gravitational wave sources
 related to mergers of double white dwarfs. A remnant just after a merger
 is a rapidly and differentially rotating objects, which may develop
 non-axisymmetric instability of hydrodynamical origin. If the remnant
 is susceptible to the so-called 'low T/W' instability, m=2 (bar)
 or m=1 (spiral) density pattern may develop (here m is the azimuthal quantum
 number of perturbation) and the mass quadrupole may oscillate with
 a typical frequency of O[0.1-1] Hz. We discuss the detectability of
 newly-born remnants by the planned spaceborne gravitational wave
 observatories targeting intermediate frequency range
 such as DECIGO, Big Bang Observer, and TianQin.

Superconductivity in rhombohedral trilayer graphene

description: We report the observation of superconductivity in rhombohedral trilayer graphene electrostatically doped with holes. Superconductivity occurs in two distinct regions within the space of gate-tuned charge carrier density and applied electric displacement field, which we denote SC1 and SC2. The high sample quality allows for detailed mapping of the normal state Fermi surfaces by quantum oscillations, which reveal that in both cases superconductivity arises from a normal state described by an annular Fermi sea that is proximal to an isospin symmetry breaking transition where the Fermi surface degeneracy changes. The upper out-of-plane critical field $B_{C\perp}\approx 10 \mathrm{mT}$ for SC1 and $1\mathrm{mT}$ for SC2, implying coherence lengths $ξ$ of 200nm and 600nm, respectively. The simultaneous observation of transverse magnetic electron focusing implies a mean free path $\ell\gtrsim3.5\mathrm{μm}$. Superconductivity is thus deep in the clean limit, with the disorder parameter $d=ξ/\ell<0.1$. SC1 emerge from a paramagnetic normal state and is suppressed with in-plane magnetic fields in agreement with the Pauli paramagnetic limit. In contrast, SC2 emerges from a spin-polarized, valley-unpolarized half-metal. Measurements of the in-plane critical field show that this superconductor exceeds the Pauli limit by at least one order of magnitude. We discuss our results in light of several mechanisms including conventional phonon-mediated pairing, pairing due to fluctuations of the proximal isospin order, and intrinsic instabilities of the annular Fermi liquid. Our observation of superconductivity in a clean and structurally simple two-dimensional metal hosting a variety of gate tuned magnetic states may enable a new class of field-effect controlled mesoscopic electronic devices combining correlated electron phenomena.
Review of Barbara Lorenzkowski. 2010. Sounds of Ethnicity. Listening to German North America 1850–1914. Winnipeg: University of Manitoba Press
Creators: name: Feiereisen, Florence
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2012

description: In her seminal work on the sound of German ethnicity in the Great Lakes region in the six decades prior to World War I, Lorenzkowski adds an important aural dimension to the historiography of German culture in North America. By studying past sounds of rural Waterloo County, Ontario and industrialized urban Buffalo, New York, she allows her readers to tune in to the public and private worlds of German migrants and their self–declared leaders as they practiced and performed their ethnic consciousness in the transnational borderland of the Great Lakes region. How can our understanding of the past be deepened by the study of its sounds? Hearing is a process of perceiving the world and contributes to our daily acquisition of knowledge. “[K]nowing the world through sound,” as Bruce Smith suggests, “is fundamentally different from knowing the world through vision” (2003:4). This notion can—and should—be applied to academic research; indeed, several disciplines, history included, have been experiencing a “sonic turn.” In Hearing History, sensory historian Mark M. Smith writes about the increasing focus on the aural in historical research:“This intensification holds out to the prospect of helping to redirect in some profoundly important ways what is often the visually oriented discipline of history, a discipline replete with emphases on the search for ‘perspective’ and ‘focus’ through the ‘lens’ of evidence, one heavily, if often unthinkingly, indebted to the visualism of ‘Enlightenment’ thinking and ways of understanding the word.”

description: If the universe expands exponentially without end, ``ordinary observers'' like ourselves may be vastly outnumbered by ``Boltzmann's brains,'' transient observers who briefly flicker into existence as a result of quantum or thermal fluctuations. One might then wonder why we are so atypical. I show that tiny changes in physics--for instance, extremely slow variations of fundamental constants--can drastically change this result, and argue that one should be wary of conclusions that rely on exact knowledge of the laws of physics in the very distant future.

High Energy Neutrinos and Cosmic-Rays from Low-Luminosity Gamma-Ray Bursts?

description: The recently discovered gamma-ray burst (GRB) GRB 060218/SN 2006aj is classified as an X-ray Flash with very long duration driven possibly by a neutron star. Since GRB 060218 is very near about 140 Mpc and very dim, one-year observation by Swift suggests that the rate of GRB 060218-like events might be very high so that such low luminosity GRBs (LL-GRBs) might form a different population from the cosmological high luminosity GRBs (HL-GRBs). We found that the high energy neutrino background from LL-GRBs could be comparable with that from HL-GRBs. If each neutrino event is detected by IceCube, later optical-infrared follow-up observations such as by Subaru and HST have possibilities to identify a Type Ibc supernova associated with LL-GRBs, even if gamma- and X-rays are not observed by Swift. This is in a sense a new window from neutrino astronomy, which might enable us to confirm the existence of LL-GRBs and to obtain information about their rate and origin. We also argue LL-GRBs as high energy gamma-ray and cosmic-ray sources.

A Cross-Cultural Grammar for Temporal Harmony in Afro-Latin Musics: Clave, Partido-Alto and Other Timelines
Creators: name: Vurkaç, Mehmet
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2012

description: This article presents an in–depth study of the musical concept called clave direction. The significance and regulative role of clave and similar cyclical timelines in Afro–Latin music have been established by many scholars, including Ned Sublette, Tomás Cruz, H.W. Soebbing, Rebecca Mauleón– Santana, and Ronald Herder. Clave is typically identified as the rhythmic anchor of Cuban music. Furthermore, Eugene Novotney, Hugo “Foca” Machado, Willy Muñoz, Jorge Sadi, and Chris Washburne, among other musicians and scholars, have argued that clave is central not only in Cuban music but in all Afro–American music. Although there is agreement on the importance of the concept, previous work has either been precise but culturally narrow in scope, or broad in scope but imprecise in its details. The present work builds on these earlier efforts to establish an understanding of clave direction that is precise, parsimonious (only two concepts suffice), and widely applicable. My analysis proceeds from the hypothesis that musics emerging from the transatlantic slave trade with significant Yorùbá influence share common traits including what has come to be called “clave.” Ruth M. Stone links observations of the musical role of clave–type patterns to the geographical origins of the patterns in West Africa, and emphasizes that this pattern–as– concept was brought to the Americas with the transatlantic slave trade. In particular, she states that clave “fits, of course, with other patterns played at the same time . . . Therefore, it has a role in keeping everything appropriately linked. Players use it as a reference point to synchronize the drum, bell, and vocal parts” (Stone 2005:81). D. A. Tobias has written that “the clave beat is the foundation of Latin–American rhythm and practically all of the other instruments are guided by this beat” (Tobias 1965:270). More recently, Arturo Rodriguez has argued that “clave is the key to understanding how Afro–Cuban music is arranged and flows” and that it is “a concept that is fundamental to Afro–Latin music” (Rodriguez 2003:41). Consequently, clave should be understood not only as a pattern but also as a critical musical concept.

description: We investigate the asymptotic distributions of periodically driven anharmonic Langevin systems. Utilizing the underlying $SL_2$ symmetry of the Langevin dynamics, we develop a perturbative scheme in which the effect of periodic driving can be treated nonperturbatively to any order of perturbation in anharmonicity. We spell out the conditions under which the asymptotic distributions exist and are periodic, and show that the distributions can be determined exactly in terms of the solutions of the associated Hill equations. We further find that the oscillating states of these driven systems are stable against anharmonic perturbations.

description: In ground-based astronomy, starlight distorted by the atmosphere couples poorly into single-mode waveguides but a correction by adaptive optics, even if only partial, can boost coupling into the few-mode regime allowing the use of photonic lanterns to convert into multiple single-mode beams. Corrected wavefronts result in focal patterns that couple mostly with the circularly symmetric waveguide modes. A mode-selective photonic lantern is hence proposed to convert the multimode light into a subset of the single-mode waveguides of the standard photonic lantern, thereby reducing the required number of outputs. We ran simulations to show that only two out of the six waveguides of a 1x6 photonic lantern carry >95% of the coupled light to the outputs at $D/r_0 < 10$ if the wavefront is partially corrected and the photonic lantern is made mode-selective.

description: The best natural candidates for the realization of color superconductivity are quark stars -not yet confirmed by observation- and the extremely dense cores of compact stars, many of which have very large magnetic fields. To reliably predict astrophysical signatures of color superconductivity, a better understanding of the role of the star's magnetic field in the color superconducting phase that realizes in the core is required. This paper is an initial step in that direction. The field scales at which the different magnetic phases of a color superconductor with three quark flavors can be realized are investigated. Coming from weak to strong fields, the system undergoes first a symmetry transmutation from a Color-Flavor-Locked (CFL) phase to a Magnetic-CFL (MCFL) phase, and then a phase transition from the MCFL phase to the Paramagnetic-CFL (PCFL) phase. The low-energy effective theory for the excitations of the diquark condensate in the presence of a magnetic field is derived using a covariant representation that takes into account all the Lorentz structures contributing at low energy. The field-induced masses of the charged mesons and the threshold field at which the CFL $\to$ MCFL symmetry transmutation occurs are obtained in the framework of this low-energy effective theory. The relevance of the different magnetic phases for the physics of compact stars is discussed.

Horses For Discourses? The Transition from Oral to Broadside Narrative in “Skewball”
Creators: name: Ó Cadhla, Seán
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2012

description: The well–known horse–racing ballad “Skewball” (hereafter, SB) has a well– established oral tradition in Ireland, with versions documented throughout the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The latest is a 1979 field recording of Derry folksinger and storyteller, Eddie Butcher (Shields 2011:58–9). The ballad was also assimilated into African–American oral tradition, in which it was reconstructed and renamed “Stewball” (Lomax 1994:68–71; Scarborough 1925:61–4), and was still being documented in American folk tradition as late as the 1930s (Flanders 1939:172–4). In common with countless other folk songs, SB was appropriated by broadside printers and subsequently enjoyed widespread public appeal throughout England in the early– to mid–nineteenth century, its popularity waning with the later decline of the broadside as a medium of ballad transmission and distribution. A comparative analysis of oral and broadside versions reveals clear differences between the two narratives. I argue that these variations were quite deliberate in origin, being a direct result of interpolations and excisions made by broadside ballad printers to the original oral narrative. By drawing comparisons between versions of SB collected from both oral and broadside sources, this paper will demonstrate that as a consequence of significant social and cultural advancements in the nineteenth century, SB was deliberately revised with the aim of enhancing its appeal and relevance to an increasingly literate middle class audience.

Semiclassical Tunneling of Wavepackets with Real Trajectories

description: Semiclassical approximations for tunneling processes usually involve complex trajectories or complex times. In this paper we use a previously derived approximation involving only real trajectories propagating in real time to describe the scattering of a Gaussian wavepacket by a finite square potential barrier. We show that the approximation describes both tunneling and interferences very accurately in the limit of small Plank's constant. We use these results to estimate the tunneling time of the wavepacket and find that, for high energies, the barrier slows down the wavepacket but that it speeds it up at energies comparable to the barrier height.

description: We consider a single harmonic oscillator coupled to a bath at zero temperature. As is well known, the oscillator then has a higher average energy than that given by its ground state. Here we show analytically that for a damping model with arbitrarily discrete distribution of bath modes and damping models with continuous distributions of bath modes with cut-off frequencies, this excess energy is less than the work needed to couple the system to the bath, therefore, the quantum second law is not violated. On the other hand, the second law may be violated for bath modes without cut-off frequencies, which are, however, physically unrealistic models.

Retrovirus-like promoters in the human genome
Creators: name: Feuchter, Anita E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Several families of repetitive sequences related to integrated retroviruses (proviruses) have been identified in the human genome. The largest of these families, the RTVL-H family, has close to 1000 members, in addition to several hundred solitary long terminal repeats (LTRs). The similarity of these LTRs in structure and organization to the LTRs of proviruses suggest that they may act as transcriptional regulators of gene expression. To test this hypothesis, I initially examined the ability of different RTVL-H LTRs to drive expression of the reporter gene chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) in a variety of human and murine cell lines. These studies revealed that RTVL-H LTRs are heterogeneous in their ability to regulate the expression of linked genes. Although all of five LTRs tested could promote expression of the CAT gene, their relative promoter activities as well as range of activities varied widely. One LTR, H6, displayed strong promoter activity in human (NTera2Dl, 293, Hep2), monkey (COS-1), and mouse (3T3) cells. RNA mapping studies localized the transcription start site to the expected location in the H6 LTR. RTVL-H LTRs were also shown to contain sequences that could increase transcription from the human i globin promoter and be influenced by SV4O enhancer sequences. Over the course of these studies, I observed a difference in RTVL-H promoter activity in CV-1 and COS-1 cells (COS-1 cells are African green monkey kidney cells transformed by SV4O and CV-1 cells are their “untransformed” parent cell line). To examine the possibility that this effect was mediated by SV4O encoded proteins, LTR-CAT constructs were cotransfected with expression vectors encoding SV4O proteins. The results of these studies showed that SV4O T antigen could activate expression from certain RTVL-H LTRs 5-30 fold. In addition, this transactivation effect was observed in two CV- 1 cells lines containing stably integrated LTR-CAT constructs. These results demonstrate that a known transforming protein can alter the transcriptional capabilities of RTVL-H LTRs. The results of the above studies suggested that RTVL-H LTRs may have the ability to influence the expression of unrelated cellular genes. Thus, a differential screening strategy was used to identify five cDNA clones that appear to have been promoted from RTVL-H LTRs. In one case, clone AF-4, the LTR has been shown to be normally linked to a CpG island. Another clone, AF-3, appears to be a new insertion of an RTVL-H element into a large gene with a region of homology to yeast CDC4. The third clone , AF-5, is the result of a splicing event between an RTVL-H element and a novel gene with two regions of homology with phospholipase A2. Taken together, these results suggest a general evolutionary role for RTVL-H LTRs in the regulation of gene expression and raise the possibility that activation or rearrangements involving these sequences may alter the normal regulation of cellular genes and thus contribute to human disease.

description: One picture is worth a thousand words. Despite all the caveats and cautionary tales included in this collection of essays entitled Picturing Performance, the authors convincingly convey their belief that iconography is an invaluable critical tool. During the course of separate contributions by six different specialists, scholars are repeatedly urged to pursue the investigation and proper application of visual sources, are provided with very specific guidelines, and are appropriately reminded that interdisciplinary cooperation is essential in the interpretation of images of the performing arts. Organized and edited by Thomas Heck, Professor of Musicology and head of the Music and Dance Library at Ohio State University, the book presents, as its subtitle promises, essays in the theory and practice of the iconography of the performing arts.

Facilities programming and case study of Kwantlen College Richmond Campus : implications for community planning
Creators: name: Cook, Krista Aileen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: In the past thirty years, Facilities Programming has grown and evolved as a discipline, separate from both architecture and planning. Facilities Programming is a profession of such a small and specialized nature that it is not well known or understood by many people, and is not well documented in the architectural or planning literature. This thesis provides a detailed definition of programming, as well as a comprehensive study of the programming of the Kwantlen College Richmond Campus, in Richmond, British Columbia. From are view of selected literature on community planning as well as the author's knowledge of its practice, a comparison is made between community planning and facilities programming which shows that there are many similarities. This study of programming also suggests several aspects that can be applied beneficially to the practice of community planning. These are participation, interaction, staged continuous decision making, and good analytic tools.
Review of Eric Chafe. 2000. Analyzing Bach Cantatas. New York: Oxford University Press
Creators: name: Ito, John
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2000

description: This analysis of the two tasks of suggestive theory help in making a precise assessment of Eric Chafe’s 2000 book, Analyzing Bach Cantatas. With Analyzing Bach Cantatas, Chafe continues to develop his theory of the allegorical use of tonal centers in Bach’s vocal music, also the subject of his 1991 book Tonal Allegory in the Vocal Music of J S. Bach (henceforth Tonal Allegory). These works advance, defend, and illustrate the hypothesis that Bach used relationships among tonal centers in the allegorical representation of the theological contents of the vocal works. Analyzing Bach Cantatas is an extremely ambitious work in that it attempts three simultaneous advances over Tonal Allegory: it seeks to broaden the audience for Chafe’s ideas; it deepens the historical contextualization of the cantatas; and it uses the concept of tonal allegory with greater flexibility. While a fuller picture of Chafe’s success in reaching these goals will emerge over the course of this review, an initial assessment is offered here.

description: To fully address the actual problems of youth, it is necessary to have a comprehensive and thorough study of the actual problems of young people through the methods of social sciences. At the same time, studying the interests of young people should be a continuous process, not a mere action. It is necessary to monitor the progress of the youth in step by step. It is possible to conclude about current trends in youth development, their future challenges and plans. In this article, a sociological survey was conducted in the higher education institutions of Uzbekistan on the theme "Formation of culture of information exchange among young people in the information society (for example, students in higher education institutions)" to study the level of formation of the culture of information exchange in our society.

description: We introduce a stellar velocity survey of dwarf spheroidal galaxies, undertaken using the Michigan/MIKE Fiber System (MMFS) at the Magellan/Clay 6.5 m telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. As of 2006 November we have used MMFS to collect 6415 high-resolution (R= 20000-25000) spectra from 5180 stars in four dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Carina, Fornax, Sculptor and Sextans. Spectra sample the range 5140-5180 Angstroms, which includes the prominent magnesium triplet absorption feature. We measure radial velocity (RV) to a median precision of 2.0 km/s for stars as faint as V ~ 20.5. From the spectra we also are able to measure the strength of iron and magnesium absorption features using spectral indices that correlate with effective temperature, surface gravity and chemical abundance. Measurement of line strength allows us to identify interloping foreground stars independently of velocity, and to examine the metallicity distribution among dSph members. Here we present detailed descriptions of MMFS, our target selection and spectroscopic observations, the data reduction procedure, and error analysis. We compare our RV results to previously published measurements for individual stars. In some cases we find evidence for a mild, velocity-dependent offset between the RVs we measure using the magnesium triplet and previously published RV measurements derived from the infrared calcium triplet. In companion papers we will present the complete data sets and kinematic analyses of these new observations.

description: The more or less simultaneous appearance of these two substantial books on the music of Harrison Birtwistle by a pair of British academics is clinching evidence-if such a thing were required-of Birtwistle’s standing as a major world figure, at least in the eyes of his British admirers. All the same, something needs to be said about that qualification. Birtwistle also enjoys a certain reputation on the European mainland, but it is of much more recent date and by no means universal. His manuscripts are housed in the archive set up in Basle by the late Paul Sacher, who commissioned his trumpet concerto Endless Parade in 1986; but the distinguished Franco-Swiss-German musicologists who now run the Sacher Stiftung are by no means unanimous in their admiration. As for the United States, my impression from across the pond is that Birtwistle’s music, like his person, is a very intermittent presence. Presligious commissions like Exody (for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra) can be traced to influential admirers-in this case, Daniel Barenboim, who was also midwife to the Berlin premiere of Birtwistle’s latest opera, The Last Supper. Otherwise, in the States most of Birtwistle’s stage works, and much else of note, remain little known.

description: The effects of planar hole content, p (= x), on the uniform (q = 0) magnetic susceptibility, c(T), of La2-xSrxCu1-yZnyO4 were investigated over a wide range of Sr (x) and Zn (y) contents. A strongly p-dependent Zn-induced magnetic behavior was observed. The apparent Zn-induced magnetic moment is larger in underdoped La2-xSrxCu1-yZnyO4 and it decreases quite sharply around p ~ 0.19. It does not change much for further overdoping. This indicates a possible role of the pseudogap on the Zn induced magnetic behavior, as there is growing evidence that pseudogap vanishes quite abruptly at p ~ 0.19.

description: We give a general construction for the classical limit of a quantum system defined in terms of generators of an arbitrary compact semisimple Lie algebra, generalizing known results for the $\mathfrak{su}_2$ and $\mathfrak{su}_3$ cases. The classical limit depends on the physical problem in question and is determined by the sequence of representations by which it is reached. Only in the simplest cases it is unique. We present explicit formulae useful in determining the classical limit in all important cases.

Suspicious Silence: Walking Out on John Cage
Creators: name: Lunberry, Clark
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2012

description: 2012 marked what would have been the composer and writer John Cage’s 100th birthday, offering a nice round numbered moment to commemorate and reevaluate Cage’s lasting legacy. And it is a rich and still, astonishingly, controversial legacy, bringing forth bold assessments of Cage that range, as they have for decades, from worshipful acclaim, to ridiculing rejection. It seems with Cage, still, that it’s either black or white, love or hate; that he is either a saintly prophet of new sounds, new silences, or a foolish charlatan leading anarchically astray.

description: We present an analysis of spectropolarimetric observations of the low-mass weak-line T Tauri stars TWA 25 and TWA 7. The large-scale surface magnetic fields have been reconstructed for both stars using the technique of Zeeman Doppler imaging. Our surface maps reveal predominantly toroidal and non-axisymmetric fields for both stars. These maps reinforce the wide range of surface magnetic fields that have been recovered, particularly in pre-main sequence stars that have stopped accreting from the (now depleted) central regions of their discs. We reconstruct the large scale surface brightness distributions for both stars, and use these reconstructions to filter out the activity-induced radial velocity jitter, reducing the RMS of the radial velocity variations from 495 m/s to 32 m/s for TWA 25, and from 127 m/s to 36 m/s for TWA 7, ruling out the presence of close-in giant planets for both stars. The TWA 7 radial velocities provide an example of a case where the activity-induced radial velocity variations mimic a Keplerian signal that is uncorrelated with the spectral activity indices. This shows the usefulness of longitudinal magnetic field measurements in identifying activity-induced radial velocity variations.

Probing the close environment of massive young stars with spectro-astrometry

description: Aims: We test the technique of spectro-astrometry as a potential method to investigate the close environment of massive young stars. Method: Archival VLT near infrared K band spectra (R=8900) of three massive young stellar objects and one Wolf-Rayet star are examined for spectro-astrometric signatures. The young stellar objects display emission lines such as Brackett gamma, CO 2-0 and CO 3-1 that are characteristic of ionised regions and molecular disks respectively. Two of the sample sources also display emission lines such as NIII and MgII that are characteristic of high temperatures. Results: Most of the emission lines show spectro-astrometric signal at various levels resulting in different positional displacements. The shapes and magnitudes of the positional displacements imply the presence of large disk/envelopes in emission and expanding shells of ionised gas. The results obtained for the source 18006-2422nr766 in particular provide larger estimates (> 300AU) on CO emitting regions indicating that in MYSOs CO may arise from inner regions of extended dense envelopes as well. Conclusions: The overall results from this study demonstrate the utility of spectro-astrometry as a potential method to constrain the sizes of various physical entities such as disks/envelopes, UCHII regions and/or ionised shells in the close environment of a massive young star.

Review of Wayne Schneider, ed. 1999. The Gershwin Style: New Looks at the Music of George Gershwin. New York: Oxford University Press
Creators: name: Schiff, David
Publisher: name: Current Musicology
Year: 2000

description: This volume, published just after the Gershwin centenary in 1998, already seems to belong to an awkward age of transition in musicology. A number of the book's twelve essays beat the drums for a new approach to Gershwin that would rescue him from the snobbery of high art prejudices, and for a more general attempt by musicologists to engage with popular culture. A look at the program for recent American Musicological Society meetings quickly reveals that the revolution has already happened; pop is everywhere. But Gershwin remains as elusive as ever.

description: Using the harmonic superspace method and the duality between real and complex representations of hypermultiplets, we compute the explicit scalar field expression of the quaternionic metric $G_{mn}$ of the moduli space SO(1,1)x[SO(4,k)/(SO(4)xSO(k))] of 6D N=2 supergravity with generic k Maxwell supermultiplets. The obtained metric includes the particular case k=20 associated with 10D type IIA superstring on K3. Uplifting to 7D N=2 supergravity is described and aspects of 6D/7D black attractor effective potentials are studied.

Subjects: marine protected area, marine management, governance, ownership, community empowerment, human development

description: Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have become an important tool in resource and biodiversity conservation, fisheries management and social goals. In spite of the efforts and resources spent for MPAs globally, some can still be far behind success. There is a growing body of evidence on their social impacts, many of which have not yet been fully systematically reviewed. Moreover, evidence on governance and empowerment has not been systematically reviewed to investigate opportunities and shortcomings for their establishment, operation and implementation. The proposed systematic review will attempt to understand the impact of the MPAs on marine resource governance and community empowerment in the Philippines.
A historical commentary on Plutarch’s Marcellus
Creators: name: Clark, Edward Dale
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: M. Claudius Marcellus won military renown during Rome's wars with the Gauls and the Carthaginians in the latter half of the third century B.C. As consul in 222 B.C. he earned the rare honor of the spolia opima by slaying in single combat the opposing Gallic chieftain. In the dark days following the disaster at Cannae in 216 B.C., he showed himself to be the only Roman commander capable of standing up to, if not actually defeating, Hannibal in Italy; for this he gained the title of 'The Sword of Rome.' Plutarch, writing at the turn of the second century A.D., came near the end of the development of the historical tradition about this famous general. When he came to write this biography, he had available to him a wide range of sources, both favorable and hostile to Marcellus. The purpose of this study is to provide a commentary on his account and to assess the accuracy of the portrait offered. Plutarch's text has been compared with all the evidence that has survived. Its similarities to and divergences from other versions have been examined, although the investigation is hampered by the loss of much of the source material that had been available to Plutarch. Through this analysis it is hoped that a more accurate picture of Marcellus and of the events in which he was involved have emerged. Plutarch set out to prove that Marcellus was not only a brave and energetic warrior but also a humanitarian and an admirer of Greek culture. This study concludes that he is only partially convincing. Although there is no doubt about Marcellus' military prowess, his humanitarianism and love of Greek culture are open to serious questions. As the record shows Marcellus adopted measures that were both harsh and cruel, while the extent to which some of his actions appear humane is due in large part to practical necessity. In addition, his admiration of Greek culture seems to have been only superficial . Plutarch in presenting this portrait appears motivated by his notion of virtuous ideals rather than by historical reality.
