Rediscovering Fernande Decruck's Sonate en ut# pour saxophone alto (ou alto) et orchestre: A Performance Analysis

French composer Fernande Decruck (1896-1954) composed over forty works for the saxophone, but her music fell into obscurity soon after her death. In recent years, the Sonate en ut# pour saxophone alto (ou alto) et orchestre (1943) has been rediscovered, performed, and recorded by prominent concert saxophonists. This document takes a historical approach by examining Decruck's biography, as well as a theoretical approach to provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of her work through analysis. The first four chapters of this document provide biographical background on Decruck, her career, professional associations, and her husband, Maurice Decruck, saxophonist and music publisher. Additionally, an examination of her saxophone output includes a brief discussion of her compositional development. Fernande Decruck dedicated her sonata to French saxophone virtuoso Marcel Mule, but a version for solo viola also exists. From the discrepancies between the versions, one might infer that portions of the work were composed originally for the viola. There are also two versions of the accompaniment: one for full orchestra and the other for piano. Analysis comprises the bulk of this study. The work is composed in a traditional four-movement setting: a sonata-form opening movement, a slow second movement, a movement entitled "Fileuse" (spinning song), substituting for the traditional scherzo, and a rondo-like finale. The work incorporates trends of Impressionism through its harmonic vocabulary, chordal planing, and pentatonic scales. It also demonstrates a sophisticated application of polytonal techniques in several passages. In addition to analysis of each movement, common interpretive practices are discussed, based upon available commercial recorded performances, and performance suggestions are given. There are several notation errors within the parts, as well as some significant differences between the two accompaniments. These errata and discrepancies between the solo parts are listed and discussed.

&lt;title&gt;Effects of prevalence on visual search and decision making in fracture detection&lt;/title&gt;

Research concerning disease prevalence has inferred that indices of observer performance become, in part, a function of predetermined prevalence. The cause of this modified performance and decision-making is not fully understood, although the alteration of the criterion level of the observer may be a feature. Novice radiography students were randomly assigned to one of three digitised test banks of 72 wrist images. Test bank A, B and C represented a fracture prevalence of 50%, 83% and 22% respectively. Half of the observers from each group were made aware of the prevalence of their respective test bank. Observers recorded their decisions on an operator rating scale. Results showed significant differences in overall Az between the 50% and 83% prevalence sets (p equals 0.04) and the 50% and 22% prevalence sets (p equals 0.005). Knowledge of the prevalence influenced both sensitivity and specificity values at the 83% prevalence level (p equals 0.03 and 0.02) but not at the lower levels. For test bank A sensitivity was 87%; specificity 53%; Az 0.80, test bank B sensitivity 81%; specificity 48%; Az 0.71 and test bank C sensitivity 85%; specificity 43%; Az 0.68. Analysis of the eye movement patterns of observers under conditions of varying prevalence is in progress.

Positions of Stimulation in the Cochlea by Pure Tones

The relation between tone frequency and position of stimulation on the basilar membrane has been calculated from data on differential pitch sensitivity. The calculations involve assumptions concerning the choice of the upper and lower pitch limits of hearing and the choice of tone levels which should be used in obtaining differential pitch sensitivity data. It is shown that for quite different assumptions the positions of stimulation for tones in the range from 500 to 10,000 cycles are not greatly affected. Outside this range the positions depend on the assumptions. The calculated positions for tones of 1000, 2000 and 4000 cycles fall, respectively, at points on the membrane about 13, 12 and 23 of its length away from the helicotrema. The calculated positions are compared with positions obtained from post-mortem studies of human cochlea and with positions obtained from electric response measurements on the cochlea of anesthetized guinea pigs. The differences between various methods for the most part are no larger than calculated differences between observers.

Functional Word in a Protein. IV. Alphabet.

A unique nucleotide sequence that consists of aligned second bases of colon triplets in the cDNA sequence of trypsin is designed to identify the active sites on the DEV model. Compared with the amino acid sequence that was exploited before, the assignment of functional system or active sites of trypsin is straightforward: the site B and its partners, site E, contain 84-D, 40-H, and 177-S. However, the difficulty is in less-specific nature of the site Es that require information on amino acid sequence. The results led by means of either amino acid sequence or nucleotide sequence due to the difference in the number of alphabets (twenty amino acidsversus four nucleotides) and the prediction efficiency is strengthened by using these two words. Further improvement of the prediction can be done by artificial five alphabets, A, T, G, C, and S. In this case, information of cDNA is not necessary.

Soft X ray tomographic imaging in the RFX reversed field pinch

SXR cross-sectional distributions measured in the European reversed field pinch (RFP) experiment RFX by means of a tomographic diagnostic are described. Various reconstruction techniques have been compared. A correction technique to minimize the systematic effect due to the non-identical thicknesses of the material filters has been developed. A number of experimental situations have been explored, and a study of the correlation between the MHD and SXR properties of the plasma has been made. The analysis concentrates both on standard discharges and on the recently discovered quasi-single-helicity states, whose signature is the growth of a sizeable m = 1 structure in the emissivity distributions. Detailed imaging of the plasma in these conditions is presented.

‘Accidentalizing’ a Nationalist Conflict: The Spy Plane Collision Incident (April 2001)

On 1 April 2001, almost two years after the Bombing, an American EP-3 reconnaissance plane (conveniently referred to as a 'spy plane') and a Chinese F-8 war plane collided over the South China Sea. The Chinese plane was destroyed and its pilot, Wang Wei, went missing; the American plane was forced to land at Hainan Airport. The body of the pilot was never found. This incident in many ways resembled the Bombing, but whether the exact spot where the aerial incident occurred belonged to China or was in international territory was open to dispute. Unlike the Bombing, which was treated by China as a 'non-accident', the Collision was defined by the party-state as an accident. The 'accidentalization' constitutes the setting for the second case study and points to the different outcome in this case.KeywordsChinese PeoplePremature EjaculationCrew MemberOrdinary CitizenBush AdministrationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

[Intravenously disopyramide phosphate administration for treatment of arrhythmias].

Disopyramide phosphate (DF) was administered intravenously to 50 patients during 55 episodes of arrhythmias. The mean dosage employed was 2 +/- 1.4 mg/kg over a period of 3 minutes to 60 minutes (mean 16 +/- 6'), followed by an infusion at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg/hr in 9 cases. Atrial premature beats were suppressed in 3 of 4 treated cases (75%). Conversion to sinus rhythm was achieved in 4 of 5 (80%) cases of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, unresponsive to vagal maneuvers in 7 of 10 cases (70%) of atrial flutter of recent onset (less than 48 hours) and in 13 of 17 (76%) cases of atrial fibrillation (less than one week in duration). In 9 of 11 cases (81%) with frequent, multiform, repetitive ventricular premature beats and in 7 of 8 cases (87%) of ventricular tachycardia, DF completely suppressed the arrhythmia. The drug increased sinus rate, PR and QRS intervals, but the difference was not statistically significant: the QRS of patients with complete bundle branch block and the QTc interval were significantly prolonged. Severe hypotension was observed in 10 patients after DF i.v., in 5 of whom withdrawal of therapy was deemed to be necessary. Nine other patients had anticholinergic side effects. Our study shows that DF administered i.v. can be used successfully in 75% of supraventricular arrhythmias and in 82% of ventricular arrhythmias.

Impact of the Pilot Signal per Beam on the Ideal Number of Beams and Capacity Gain of Switched Beam Forming for WCDMA

This study devises a simple mathematical model that predicts the number of beams that maximizes system capacity for different WCDMA network configurations. The ideal number of beams to be synthesized within a cell by an antenna array (AA) with a fixed number of elements at the base station (BS) is primarily influenced by the average antenna gain and the relative power allocated to the secondary common pilot channel (S-CPICH) transmitted on each directional beam. It is shown that for a fixed maximum Node-B transmit power the overall system capacity gain in the downlink (DL) provided by switched beam forming (SBF) decreases with the cell size, that is, as more power is needed by the pilot channels to assure coverage. Predictions from our model are compared with simulation results obtained from a detailed dynamic system level simulator in order to be validated. A remarkably good match is observed

Fluvoxamine restores TFEB-mediated autophagy through Sigma-1R-controlled POM121 expression

<title>Abstract</title> Expansion of the GGGGCC-RNA repeat is a known cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), two conditions that currently have no cure. Recent studies have shown that activation of the Sigma-1 receptor plays an important role in providing neuroprotection, particularly in ALS and Alzheimer’s disease. However, the mechanisms underlying Sigma-1R activation and its effect on (G<sub>4</sub>C<sub>2</sub>)n-RNA-induced cell death remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that fluvoxamine is a Sigma-1R agonist that can increase chaperone activity and rescue Pom121 intensity in (G<sub>4</sub>C<sub>2</sub>)<sub>31</sub>-RNA-expressing NSC34 cells, thereby stabilizing the protein expression of Pom121. Interestingly, fluvoxamine treatment increased Pom121 protein expression without affecting transcription. In <italic>C9orf72</italic>-ALS, the TFEB autophagy factor translocation decreased owing to nucleocytoplasmic transport defects. Our results showed that pretreatment of NSC34 cells with fluvoxamine promoted TFEB translocation into the nucleus and increased LC3-II expression compared to the overexpression of (G<sub>4</sub>C<sub>2</sub>)<sub>31</sub>-RNA alone. Collectively, fluvoxamine may act as a promising repurposed medicine for patients with <italic>C9orf72</italic>-ALS, as it stabilizes the nucleoporin Pom121 and promotes the translocation of TFEB in (G<sub>4</sub>C<sub>2</sub>)<sub>31</sub>-RNA-expressing NSC34 cells.

Does the quantum collapse make sense? Quantum Mechanics vs Multisimultaneity in interferometer-series experiments

It is argued that the three assumptions of quantum collapse, one photon-one count, and relativity of simultaneity cannot hold together: Nonlocal correlations can depend on the referential frames of the beam-splitters but not of the detectors. New experiments using interferometers in series are proposed which make it possible to test Quantum Mechanics vs Multisimultaneity.

Description of Food Intake and Physical Activity Related to The Event of Obesity in Adolescent Ages 16-18 Years Old

Obesity is a health problem caused by excessive fat accumulation which causes a person to gain weight far above normal. Adolescence is also a period that is vulnerable to obesity, because in adolescence biological, psychosocial and cognitive changes begin to occur which begin during puberty and have a direct effect on the nutritional status and needs of adolescents. Unexpected health problems occur around the world which have resulted in a pandemic, namely the Covid-19 pandemic. This pandemic has changed several habits that can lead to health problems, namely the occurrence of being overweight above normal as happened to teenagers in the Sendangmulyo Village area. To find out the description of food intake and physical activity related to the incidence of obesity in adolescents aged 16-18 years in Sendangmulyo Village during the Covid-19 pandemic. Included in the nutritional research field of society using a cross sectional approach. The sample used in the study was 35 teenagers who live in Sendangmulyo Village. Intake data was collected twice 24 hours using the recall method and physical activity data was collected once by filling out a questionnaire. Most respondents have overweight nutritional status as many as 16 people (42.9%) with adequate energy intake (40%), with sufficient protein adequacy (45.7%), excess fat adequacy (60%) carbohydrate adequacy which is still lacking (57.1%) accompanied by low activity (54.3%). The majority of respondents have overweight nutritional status with sufficient energy and protein, but fat adequacy is still classified as excess, carbohydrate adequacy is still lacking and physical activity is still classified in the low category.

Ultrastructure of the Rat Testis in Experimental Uremia

The ultrastructure of the testis was studied in chronically uremic rats with and without administration of hCG. Concomitantly, sham operated pair fed control rats were examined. In uremic rats the seminiferous tubules contained a certain number of necrotic spermatocytes and spermatids with defective acrosome formation. The Sertoli cells showed evidence of reduced function: they had only scarce endoplasmic reticulum and lipid droplets. Leydig cells were rather heterogeneous with respect to ultrastructure. Some cells had poorly developed endoplasmic reticulum, a small Golgi apparatus and no lipid droplets, while others appeared normal. Administration of hCG had marked effects on Leydig cells: such cells acquired numerous mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum, lipid droplets, lysosomes and Golgi apparatus were inconspicuous. In contrast, administration of hCH failed to reverse premature germ cell loss.

Sediment Suspension with Rippled Bed

Experiments on the suspension of sediment were performed in flume with and without sediment layer on the bottom. For movable bed runs three‐dimensional sand ripples were found to affect seriously the features of suspended sediment. The horseshoe vortices and the resulting bursts in the lee of the ripples entrain intermittently a large amount of sediment into the outer layer of flow. Details of the suspension process were studied using a sand ripple model made of plaster. The result revealed that the vertical component of turbulent eddies is responsible for the suspension of sediment, and the statistical distribution of the component was found to be the Gaussian law. The statistical distribution of the concentration fluctuation was observed to be highly skewed, and the reason was determined to be the fact that the concentration increases with the power of eight against the vertical fluid velocity. The period of the intermittent ejection of sediment agreed reasonably with those reported for natural geophysical flows. Thus, the suspension of sediment in flows with rippled beds was proven to be significantly correlated with bursting phenomenon behind sand ripples.

Cutaneous Manifestations and Management of Syphilis

The study of syphilis has helped define the field of dermatology. Known as the "great imitator," syphilis has a number of cutaneous manifestations that have been carefully documented by scholars and physicians for several centuries; some believe that these intricate descriptions helped form the language of dermatology. Given the importance of syphilology in the development of dermatology as a field, and as an infectious disease with significant sequelae, we present a summary of the clinical manifestations and management of syphilis.

Perspectives on the Song of Songs (Perspektiven der Hoheliedauslegung). Edited by ANSELM C. HAGEDORN.

The Song of Songs is arguably one of the most enigmatic biblical books in the canon, raising a host of questions in the mind of even the most casual reader. What kind of material is it? What is it doing in a collection of religious writings with which it seems to have very little in common? Who wrote it, and when, and why? Is there any comparative ancient material that is similar to it, and how might that help to illuminate the Song? How has the Song been used down the ages in post-biblical interpretations? Many of these questions, and others too, are addressed in this wide-ranging collection of essays, which features work from British, European, and North American scholars across the disciplines of Old Testament, Egyptology, Classics, Oriental Studies, and German. The book is divided into three broad sections: Biblical Perspectives, Comparative Perspectives, and Later Perspectives. The section on Biblical Perspectives covers both textual (in the broadest sense) and interpretative issues relating to the biblical text itself, including its canonicity (John Barton), genre (Katharine Dell), and linguistic features (F.W. Dobbs-Allsopp), as well as its poetic qualities (Cheryl Exum) and its representation in the Dead Sea Scrolls (Peter Flint). The section on Comparative Perspectives offers a series of studies examining the Song in the light of love poetry from a range of other ancient contexts: Egyptian (Antonio Loprieno, Gerald Moers and Hubertus Münch, Pascal Vernus), Akkadian (Karl Hecker), and Greek (Joan Burton, Anselm Hagedorn, Richard Hunter, Hans-Peter Müller). Finally, the section on Later Perspectives covers the Song's reception history, in a series of contexts ranging from the Syriac tradition (Alison Salvesen) to the writings of Origen (Elizabeth Clark), Middle High German literature (Annette Volfing), the work of J. F. Herder (Ulrich Gaier), and that of the modern Greek poet George Seferis (Constanze Güthenke). The Introduction gives a brief summary of the content of each essay, a helpful touch in a collection where five out of the eighteen contributions are in languages other than English (four are in German and one is in French).
