description: Two basic ideas underlie the purpose of this recital and report:
(1) There are certain fundamental techniques that a woodwind teacher must employ in his teaching methods. These techniques include: tone production, fingerlings, and articulation, which vary significantly with each of the woodwind instruments. There are many teachers in the field of music education who profess to be skilled on all woodwind instruments, when in fact, their knowledge is limited to one instrument only. With this limited knowledge they attempt to teach techniques and concepts that pertain to all woodwind instruments. Indeed, an educator may have or create many problems while trying to teach something he is not sure of.
(2) There is a need for music educators to maintain and develop their performance skills on all instruments in order to better understand instrumental performance, to understand and recognize problems that occur from the view of the performer, and to better understand the solutions to those problems.
These two ideas have been illustrated in the completion of this recital and report. The writer has shown his ability and skill on each of the woodwind instruments, as well as explained an understanding of the basic problems and teaching techniques to be used when dealing with woodwind instruments.

M-NeRF : model-based human reconstruction from scratch with mirror-aware neural radiance fields
Creators: name: Ajisafe, Daniel Abidemi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Human motion capture either requires multi-camera systems or is unreliable using single-view input due to depth ambiguities. Meanwhile, mirrors are readily available in urban environments and can take the role of additional views. When picturing a person in front of a mirror, the mirror image provides a second view of the person using only a single camera. Prior work has hence exploited this additional constraint to improve 3D human pose reconstruction. Going beyond existing mirror approaches, we utilize mirrors for learning a complete body model, including shape and appearance. Our main contribution is extending articulated neural radiance fields (NERFs) to include a notion of a mirror and making it sample-efficient. We integrate this into an entire system that succeeds without any 3D annotation by automatically calibrating the camera, estimating mirror orientation, and subsequently lifting 2D keypoint detections to 3D skeleton pose that is used to condition the mirror-aware NeRF. We empirically demonstrate the benefit of learning a body model and accounting for mirror-occlusion in challenging mirror scene setups. We show continuous improvements on time-varying articulated 3D joint estimation, reconstruct the body geometry from only mirror images and 2D detections, and synthesize novel views from unobserved viewpoints.

description: This study explores the evolving role of the family in the face of modern challenges from a psychological perspective. It examines how social, economic, and technological changes reshape family dynamics, particularly in parenting and socialization. Using a critical analytical approach rooted in psychological and sociological theories, the research delves into shifts in family structure and their impact on individuals and society.  Key focus areas include the family's role in helping individuals adapt psychologically and socially, the influence of globalization and digital technology on family relationships, and the challenges of modern parenting in an ever-changing world. The study also highlights concerns about the decline of traditional family roles and its effects on children's and adolescents' mental well-being.  The findings reveal that while the family remains a cornerstone of personal and social identity, it must adapt to new realities to stay resilient. The study underscores the importance of providing psychological and educational support to families as they navigate these pressures. It also calls for policies that empower families to continue playing their vital role in fostering stability and well-being despite the rapid transformations of the modern era.

description: We present evidence for X-ray line emitting and absorbing gas in the nucleus of the Broad-Line Radio Galaxy (BLRG), 3C 445. A 200ks Chandra LETG observation of 3C 445 reveals the presence of several highly ionized emission lines in the soft X-ray spectrum, primarily from the He and H-like ions of O, Ne, Mg and Si. Radiative recombination emission is detected from O VII and O VIII, indicating that the emitting gas is photoionized. The He-like emission appears to be resolved into forbidden and intercombination line components, which implies a high density of >10^{10} cm^{-3}, while the Oxygen lines are velocity broadened with a mean width of ~2600 km s^{-1} (FWHM). The density and widths of the ionized lines indicate an origin of the gas on sub-parsec scales in the Broad Line Region (BLR).The X-ray continuum of 3C 445 is heavily obscured either by a partial coverer or by a photoionized absorber of column density N_{H}=2x10^{23} cm^{-2} and ionization parameter log(xi)=1.4 erg cm s^{-1}. However the view of the X-ray line emission is unobscured, which requires the absorber to be located at radii well within any parsec scale molecular torus. Instead, we suggest that the X-ray absorber in 3C 445 may be associated with an outflowing, but clumpy, accretion disk wind with an observed outflow velocity of ~10000 km/s.

title: The Impact of Performance Testing On Production Selection
Creators: name: Jacobson, Ross A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: Performance testing data from a registered herd of Hereford cattle in Northern Utah for the years 1974 through 1980 were analyzed in this study. The cattle consisted of a spring calving herd, approximately 440 cows, and a fall calving herd, approximately 120 cows. Five weaning traits (weaning weight, weight per day of age, 205-day weaning weight, 205-dat adjusted weaning weight, weaning index) and four yearling traits (yearling weight, average daily gain, 365-day adjusted yearling weight, yearling index) were computed on the offspring from both herds, for the years mentioned, to test the influence of a performance testing program on the productivity in the test herd.
Weaning weight increased from 346.0 lbs. in 1974 to 404.0 lbs. in 1977, an increase of 58 lbs.. A decline was experienced in the succeeding years 404.0 lbs. in 1977 to 380.2 lbs. in 1980, a decline of 23.8 lbs..
Yearling weight increased from 649.0 lbs. in 1975 to 717.7 lbs. in 1977, an increase of 68.7 lbs. A decline of 29.4 lbs. was observed in 1978 and an increase of 11.2 lbs. from 1978 to 1980.
Other influences on weaning traits and yearling traits such as age of dam, age at weaning, season of birth and heritabilities were also observed.
Age of dam influence was compared to additive adjustment factors recommended by the Beef Improvement Federation and found to be comparable to age nine. Adjustment factors for dams from nine through eleven years of age was recommended to be 12.0, 20.0, and 30.0 pounds respectively for both males and females. Adjustment for 12-year old dams was 40.0 and 42.0 pounds for males and females respectively and for 13-year old dams a 44.0 and 54.0 pound adjustment for males and females respectively.
Age at weaning was found to be most applicable when limited from 160 to 250 days as presently recommended by the Beef Improvement Federation, with 205-day weight as the optimum weight.
Season of birth significantly (p
Heritabilities for weaning weight, 205-day weaning weight, 2015-day adjusted weaning weight and weaning index were computed to be 0.142, 0.142, 0.136 and 0.113 respectively. Heritabilities for yearling weight, average daily gain, 365-day adjusted yearling weight and yearling index were 0.246, 0.120, 0.252 and 0.244 respectively. These heritabilities are lower than most reported in the literature. Longer calving season, two calving herds and above average range of ages at which weaning and yearling traits were taken could have influenced these heritabilities downward.

description: Les réglementations relatives au traitement des eaux usées (UWWTD-1991 ; DCE 2000) ont considérablement évolué depuis 25 ans avec le développement de bioprocédés de plus en plus efficaces limitant les risques pour l’environnement. Des technologies performantes de traitement physico-chimique et biologique des eaux usées ont été intégrées dans les stations des principales agglomérations. C’est ainsi que depuis une dizaine d’années, de nouveaux types de dégradation des structures en béton ont été observés dans les stations d'épuration des eaux usées, principalement dans les bassins de nitrification traitant les composés azotés (ammonium) des effluents (Leeman et al., 2010, Lewi et al., 2020). Les origines exactes de ces dégradations ne sont pas encore déterminées. Afin de comprendre les mécanismes de dégradation des bétons dans les bassins de traitement des composés azotés, des éprouvettes de mortiers (de 3 cm de diamètre et 6 cm de hauteur) à base de ciments CEM I, CEM III, CEM V et CAC ont été exposées dans la partie supérieure d’un bassin à filtre biologique aéré (FBA). A l’issue de 2 ans d’exposition, les échantillons présentent des dégradations en surface principalement pour les échantillons à base de Portland. Les propriétés physico-chimiques des eaux usées ne permettent pas d’expliquer ces dégradations mettant en avant le rôle important des micro-organismes

description: We report on new measurements of the luminosity function (LF) and mass function (MF) of field low-mass dwarfs derived from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 6 (DR6) photometry. The analysis incorporates ~15 million low-mass stars (0.1 Msun < M < 0.8 Msun), spread over 8,400 square degrees. Stellar distances are estimated using new photometric parallax relations, constructed from ugriz photometry of nearby low-mass stars with trigonometric parallaxes. We use a technique that simultaneously measures Galactic structure and the stellar LF from 7 < M_r < 16. We compare the LF to previous studies and convert to a MF using the mass-luminosity relations of Delfosse et al., 2000. The system MF, measured over -1.0 < log M/Msun < -0.1, is well-described by a log-normal distribution with Mo = 0.25 Msun. We stress that our results should not be extrapolated to other mass regimes. Our work generally agrees with prior low-mass stellar MFs and places strong constraints on future star-formation studies of the Milky Way.

title: Cooperative Extension Service Organization and Administration in Utah and Thailand
Creators: name: Chinoim, Sommart
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Thailand is an agricultural country with about 80 percent of the population operating farms. Agriculture is the main source of national income and 90 percent of all exports are agricultural products. The farms are small and a high percent of the farmers are illiterate which accounts for so many people remaining on farms. Even though agricultural development is under the National Economic and Social Development Plan, new methods of farming are not easily accessible to the small farmers. They still follow their ancestor's methods of cultivating, irrigating, and harvesting their crops. Most farmers operate subsistent farm units. They plant enough rice for their own family for the year and if all the rice is not consumed it is sold. They are not familiar with modern agricultural science: fertilizer, soils, plants, mechanization, entomology or market demands. Farm boys and girls have to drop out of school in low grade levels because the farmer cannot afford school expenses. Young people are expected to help their families on the farms. The younger generation will likely follow in the footsteps of their parents unless additional educational opportunities are provided. Extension Service can be a way of providing informal education to farmers and their families.
Separate Agricultural Extension Departments in Thailand were organized by the Ministry of Agriculture many years ago for general agriculture, rice, livestock, fishery, and forestry. In 1967 the Agricultural Extension Department was established in the Ministry of Agriculture and combined three Extension Departments: Office of the Under-Secretary of State, General Agricultural, and Rice Department into one department. This is likely the beginning of real Agricultural Extension Service in Thailand.
Although the Cooperative Extension Service in the United States of America started under the Smith-Liver Act in 1914, agricultural extension had been organized long before that year. The general objectives of Cooperative Extension Service are to strengthen agriculture, home economics, and youth programs. Extension Service is organized to meet the people's needs. Utah is one of the pioneers in agricultural extension in the western states. In 1911, Lou Windsor was hired as the first county agent in the Uintah Basin. Since Utah has one of the oldest Cooperative Extension Services, its organization and administration will be studied to gather information that might be applied and incorporated into the Agricultural Extension Service in Thailand.

description: Au sein de cette étude sont présentées des formulations de bétons décarbonés (empreinte carbone < 150 kg.éq.CO2/m3) destinées aux produits préfabriqués. Deux liants ternaires ont été formulés : « MK » à base de ciment Portland, métakaolin et addition calcaire ; « LL » à base de ciment Portland et de deux additions calcaires. Afin de pallier l’effet de dilution entraîné par la substitution du ciment (de 65 à 70 %) deux leviers matériau (réduction d’eau et adjuvantation) et un concernant le process (cure thermique) ont été employés. Les propriétés rhéologiques, mécaniques ainsi que de durabilité des bétons décarbonés (notés BMK et BLL) ont été caractérisées et comparées à celles d’une référence. Hormis une viscosité plus importante pour BMK, les propriétés obtenues à l’état frais sont comparables à celles de la référence. Les résistances en compression obtenues au jeune âge et à 28 jours pour BMK (C40/50) sont proches de celles de la référence à base de ciment Portland. Celles obtenues pour BLL sont inférieures (C25/30) mais potentiellement suffisantes pour de nombreuses applications. Enfin, les propriétés de durabilité (résistivité, diffusion des ions chlorure, vitesse de carbonatation et porosité accessible à l’eau) de BMK et BLL sont comparables voire supérieures à celles de la référence (à l’exception de la vitesse de carbonatation). Ces bétons décarbonés ont été qualifiés vis-à-vis de la classe d’exposition XC3/XC4 en s’inspirant de l’approche performantielle, telle que définie dans le fascicule FD P 18-480.

description: This paper analyses, both experimentally and numerically, the transport of chloride ions inside concrete. The samples are made from either 100% Natural Aggregates (NA) or 100% Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA). The goal of this research is to quantify the loss of durability of Recycled Aggregates Concrete (RAC) with respect to Natural Aggregates Concrete (NAC), possibly promoting their use in long-term building. The experimental campaign focused on evaluation of transfer properties of concrete: water absorption, retention curves, intrinsic permeability, chloride diffusion under steady and unsteady state and conduction experiments were performed. The results depict that RAC tends to have higher exchange rates with the environment than NAC, mainly due to the increased paste content from the recycled aggregates.

description: We extend our recent unquenched ($N_f=2+1$ flavor) calculation of $B_K$ using improved staggered fermions by including in the fits the finite volume shift predicted by one-loop staggered chiral perturbation theory. The net result is to lower the result in the continuum limit by 0.6%. This shift is slightly smaller than our previous estimate of finite volume effects based on a direct comparison between different volumes. To include the finite volume effects in a reasonable time, we found it necessary to calculate them using Graphics Processing Units.

title: Graduate Recital Report

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1987

description: This project arose out of a need by the author to increase his personal expertise in the area of performance of solo vocal literature. As a current music educator, the author has determined that music preparation and performance are activities which take a large portion of his involved time within the context of music instruction. As a result, preparation and performance are of paramount importance for the teacher of music to understand and convey to his students based on personal experience. The project also provides the author/presenter with the opportunity to demonstrate his acquired skills in the area of musical performance. A final consideration for selecting a recital as a project was to enhance future educational, professional, and performing opportunities for the author/presenter. As a means of achieving the desired development of content expertise in the area of music rehearsal and performance, the choice of a recital was made after consultation with the author's major professor. It was determined that a suitable format for a recital includes the selection of a unifying theme such as a particular historical or stylistic period. In this case, music of the Baroque was selected because of its accepted artistic and aesthetic merit as well as its technical challenge to the presenter in terms of performance difficulty. Barogque literature (music) for bass/baritone was selected to match the author's voice type. It is hoped that as a result of presenting the recital and report document the presenter will have gained an increased awareness of the specific music to be performed in terms of how and why the music was originally written and performed and be able to demonstrate this increased awareness through a stylistically correct performance. Brief lecture segments interspersed throughout the recital serve as an additional means to demonstrate, in verbal form, the increased awareness and expertise in the area of Baroque vocal music which has been acquired.

Model analysis of the phase diagram of strong interacting matter is performed. The temperature dependence of the $σ\rightarrowππ$ decay width is studied at the zero chemical potential and near the critical end-point. The calculated strong coupling constant $g_{σππ}$ and the decay width are compared with available experimental data and other model results. Nonthermal enhancement of the total decay width is noted for the $σ$ meson near the critical end-point when the condition $m_σ\geq2m_π$ is broken.

Influence de l’état de contrainte et des conditions hygrométriques sur l’expansion d’un béton de masse affecté par la réaction alcalis-silice
Creators: name: Essalik, Samy
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2023

description: Plusieurs ouvrages en béton à travers le monde sont affectés par la réaction alcalis-silice (RAS), qui produit un gel gonflant et cause une détérioration progressive du matériau. Si cette pathologie complexe a fait l’objet d’un grand nombre d’études, d’importantes zones d’ombre subsistent quant au comportement volumétrique du béton réactif en fonction des sollicitations mécaniques externes et des conditions d’exposition hygrométriques. C’est le cas notamment pour les bétons de masse, qui se révèlent plus difficiles à caractériser en laboratoire. Cet article présente les résultats d’un programme réalisé sur un mélange de béton de masse de composition similaire à celui d’une centrale hydroélectrique affectée par la RAS au Canada. Les déformations d’éprouvettes soumises à différents états de contrainte (libre, 1-D, 2-D et 3-D) et exposées à différentes conditions hygrométriques (100% H.R., scellement) ont été suivies pendant une période d’une année. Les résultats montrent que les conditions hygrométriques peuvent exercer une influence potentiellement très forte sur la RAS et ses conséquences, l’initiation de la réaction avec le granulat considéré ayant nécessité un apport d’eau externe. Même en l’absence de sollicitations extérieures, l’expansion due à la RAS dans le béton de masse réactif à l’étude affiche un caractère anisotrope. Bien qu’on rapporte dans différentes études que l’expansion dans la direction du chargement peut être annihilée sous une contrainte soutenue aussi faible que 5 MPa, dans les présents travaux, un chargement de 10 MPa a entrainé une diminution de l’expansion de l’ordre de seulement 50%. Enfin, le phénomène de transfert de l’expansion a été observé, mais son intensité semble dépendre de l’orientation des sollicitations.

description: There is a tradition in vocational education which emphasizes teaching technical knowledge and skills while neglecting the development of attitudes and social skills which have been shown to be important causes of problems for office workers. The terms in general use to identify these skills and attitudes are work adjustment and occupational adjustment. Borow calls them " ... the work ethos, a set of attitudes, rules of etiquette, and interpersonal skills involving relations with fellow workers, supervisors, and clients." He goes on to say that:
It is astonishing to what degree the school and the community assume that any student who is making the transition from school to employment has somehow mastered work protocol and the repertoire of unwritten and formal, yet highly critical, situational skills. It may be noted, parenthetically, that among culturally disadvantaged youth it is the utter lack of an acceptable work ethos quite as fully as inadequate training in the formal duties of the job that makes the work situation seem so bewildering and terrifying and which so frequently predisposes such novices to almost certain failure. (Borow, 1969, p. 1)
The opinion stated above also appears in the writings of people who are responsible for Manpower Development and Training Programs. A study conducted by Pucel (1968) showed that MDTA trainees in Minnesota feel skill development to be very important. There was less agreement regarding the responsibility to build desirable work-related attitudes.
The need for information about the personal qualities and characteristics of MOTA trainees is illustrated by the following excerpt from an article in Business Education World:
This is the MDTA girl--the one we know. We know she has enrolled in the MDTA class, that she has some typing background, that she possesses the qualifications for success as a secretary and that she wants to be trained in this program.
This is the MDTA girl I want to talk about... the one we don't know.
We don't know that she may be here because her husband passed away last year.
We don't know that things are rough financially around the house right now.
We don't know that she is barely getting by with her four little children, and no husband.
We don't know that she didn't eat lunch last Tuesday because there was no money for lunches.
We don't know that she was afraid to enroll in the course after several years away from study.
We '11 never know how many times she decided to back out-but something kept pushing her on to go to school.
We don't know how heavily all the petty problems at home are magnified when she is sitting in class, hour after hour.
If we knew all these things, we would want to help her more. (Denny, 1970, p. 15)

description: The superfluid transition in liquid 4He filled in Gelsil glass observed in recent experiments is discussed in the framework of quantum critical phenomena. We show that quantum fluctuations of phase are indeed important at the experimentally studied temperature range owing to the small pore size of Gelsil, in contrast to 4He filled in previously studied porous media such as Vycor glass. As a consequence of an effective particle-hole symmetry, the quantum critical phenomena of the system are described by the 4D XY universality class, except at very low temperatures. The simple scaling agrees with the experimental data remarkably well.

Numerical and experimental investigation of mixed-mode fracture of cement paste and interface under three-point bending test
Creators: name: Al Dandachli, Sirine AL
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2023

description: This paper shows 2D simulations of crack propagation in mode I and mixed mode (I and II) in a cementitious material at the material scale (known as loca scalel). There are two types of three-point bending tests modeled: eccentric loading on pre-notched cement paste samples and centered loading on three configurations of composite samples (cement paste linked to siliceous aggregate). These simulations, which were based on Cohesive Zone Models, were effective in forecasting fracture propagation and damage progression at the local scale.

Relating Conifold Geometries to NS5-branes

description: We construct the first known example of a near horizon supergravity solution for a pair of NS5-branes, intersecting on R^{1,3} and localised in all directions except a single transverse circle. We do this by establishing an explicit map between the conifold metric and the near horizon geometry of two intersecting NS5-branes, clarifying and correcting a number of open issues in the literature en route. Our technique is general in nature and may be applied to a whole class of 1/4-BPS five-brane webs and their geometric duals. These 1/4-BPS solutions may have an interesting holographic interpretation in terms of little string theory.

Influence du vent sur le comportement des bétons à très jeunes âges

description: L’hydratation des bétons débutent par une période dite « période dormante » qui voit le mélange à l’état plastique subir des transformations physiques accompagnées d’un faible dégagement de chaleur. Sous certaines conditions climatiques et en particulier le séchage convectif dû au vent, les déformations de retrait induites génèrent des contraintes au sein du béton frais qui n’a pas encore de résistance mécanique suffisante et qui fissure de façon précoce. Un des paramètres clefs est la vitesse du vent qui varie dans cette étude entre 0 m/s et 8 m/s. Le vent est simulé grâce à un banc ventilé instrumenté qui permet de mesurer également le gradient de température et de pression capillaire au sein des échantillons de béton frais au cours du temps. Les résultats ont mis en évidence un couplage entre le séchage convectif et la température mesurée au sein du béton. Sous l’effet de l’évaporation de l’eau présente dans le béton, celui-ci se refroidit, et sensiblement plus en partie supérieure de l’échantillon. En parallèle, la mesure de la pression capillaire fait apparaître un gradient de pression lié à la vitesse du vent. Cette étude met enfin en corrélation la notion de « pression d’entrée d’air » avec la fissuration de retrait plastique et avec les tailles des pores du béton qu’on peut approcher à l’aide de la théorie des empilements granulaires. Les pores impliqués par le phénomène d’entrée d’air dans le milieu poreux à la fissuration semblent être les plus gros pores de la pâte du béton. Sous l’effet du séchage, le gradient de températures peut amener un effet supplémentaire au retrait plastique et favoriser la fissuration du béton au jeune âge.

description: We report on the computation of a class of integrals that appear when integrating the so-called iterated singly-unresolved approximate cross section of the NNLO subtraction scheme of [1-4], over the factorised phase space of unresolved partons. The integrated approximate cross section itself can be written as the product of an insertion operator (in colour space) times the Born cross section. We give selected results for the insertion operator for processes with two and three hard partons in the final state.

description: We study the dissipation of the centre of mass oscillation of a harmonically confined condensate in the presence of a disorder potential. An extension of the Generalized Harmonic Theorem allows one to formulate the dynamics from the point of view of an oscillating disorder potential. This formulation leads to a rigorous result for the damping rate in the limit of weak disorder.

Vers l’usage en France des bi-additions dans les bétons : exemple du couple métakaolin flash et addition calcaire

description: Afin d’abaisser l’impact carbone des bétons, la réduction du facteur clinker est essentielle. Ce travail montre l’impact d’une réduction du dosage en clinker (moins de 50% du liant) sur les caractéristiques du béton (résistances mécaniques et performances de durabilité). Il s’attarde particulièrement à l’utilisation couplée de métakaolin flash et d’addition calcaire en complément d’un CEM I. Trois bétons ont ainsi été formulés avec 50% de CEM I ; le complément a été est apporté par le couplage d’additions minérales. Des mélanges ne contenant plus que 40 ou 30% de CEM I ont également été évalués. Toutes les compositions citées ont été comparées à un ciment CEM II/A, qui correspond à lui seul à plus de 50% des volumes de ciments consommés en France. Avec une baisse d’au moins 30% de l’impact carbone par rapport à un CEM II/A-LL, l’utilisation de la bi-addition est une solution viable pour la formulation des bétons dits bas carbone. A dosages en liant et en eau équivalents, les bétons à base de bi-addition ont tous respectés la résistance mécanique de la classe d’exposition visée.

description: Cette recherche exploratoire applique pour la première fois la technique innovante du poinçonnage (Descamps et Tshibangu, 2004 ; Tshibangu et al., 2014) pour quantifier de façon peu invasive l’intensité de l’altération mécanique de la pierre monumentale en fonction de la profondeur d’altération. La recherche se concentre sur l’analyse de calcaires originaires de Wallonie (Belgique). L’échantillonnage est réalisé sur des fragments d’éléments architecturaux provenant de monuments récemment démantelés et datés du 17e, 18e, 19e et 20e siècle. La méthodologie d’analyse intègre une étude préalable scientifique et technique. Les profils de résistance obtenus à l’aide de la technique du poinçonnage sont analysés et discutés à la lumière de l’examen pétrographique des échantillons (LIBS) afin de considérer les variations de compositions chimique et micro-structurelle dans l’épaisseur des pierres de taille.

description: In the spring of 1968 this writer was assigned to teach a group of seventh, eighth and ninth grade students who had been labeled Educable Mentally Retarded at Lincoln Junior High School. The students ranged from twelve to sixteen years of age, and many of them were from lower income homes.
In attempting to set up a work-study program the administration had decided that they preferred a work-study orientation program for these pupils. It was hoped that this type of program would motivate the students to become more involved in the school program.

description: From the beginning of the recital preparation , which began seriously about nine months prior to the performance, certain objectives were established. These objectives dealt with the areas of performance and composition. Concerning the performance, the objectives were to perform on the three "standard" symphonic trumpets -- the Bb , C, and D -- with competency and musicality; to play successfully varying styles from the periods which produced great trumpet literature -- the Baroque and Modern -- and to improve specific personal technique problems. Since composition is an integral part of the music process, it was hoped that an original composition would notably increase the understanding of how to write for brass and also impart a greater knowledge of the interpretive aspects of musical performance . Just as it is possible for one to appreciate or understand music more fully if he can perform well on an instrument because he knows more completely the performance aspect of the music process ; so also is it possible for one to more fully understand and appreciate music if he has composed because he knows more completely the creative aspect of the musical process .
The report will be divided into two major portions. The first division will deal with the part of the recital which relates directly to performance and will consider what procedures and methods were used to fulfill the performance objectives and how successful they were in attaining these objectives. In the second division , the original composition, Quartet for Brass Instruments, will be analyzed and related to the composition objectives.
