Denna självständiga studie behandlar en musikalisk djupdykning i den första satsen av Oskar Böhmes trumpetkonsert op.18 i f-moll. Genom en musikteoretisk, grafisk och praktisk analys av satsen fördjupar jag mig i musiken på ett annat sätt än att som musiker bara spela den och kan därigenom förhoppningsvis ta till mig musiken på ett djupare plan. / <p>Bilaga: 1 CD</p><p>Oskar Böhmes trumpetkonsert op.18</p><p>Filip Svensson- trumpetsolist</p><p>Ejmunds Sinfonietta</p>

Organizações de todos os setores comerciais estão trabalhando na criação de um diferencial competitivo, que se traduza em liderança e reconhecimento empresarial. Neste contexto, a estratégia de gestão empresarial baseada no processo colaborativo S&OP tem atraído cada vez mais o olhar de interessados que buscam o aprimoramento das suas práticas para alcançar este diferencial. Por tanto, o presente trabalho apresenta uma investigação de um dos principais referentes no campo do empreendimento colaborativo, o processo S&OP. O propósito é fornecer à empresa cosmética do estudo os lineamentos de um processo de gestão empresarial integrado, através da geração de uma proposta de estrutura de gestão baseada no processo colaborativo S&OP. A pesquisa utilizou os dados coletados através da aplicação da metodologia de Estudo de Caso, que teve como principal fonte de evidência a entrevista semiestruturada, utilizando-se uma abordagem qualitativa, os dados foram tratados e analisados para obter o diagnóstico da situação real da empresa. O desenho da estrutura de gestão com os cinco passos do processo S&OP tem o intuito de aprimorar ações colaborativas entre os processos internos, através do fornecimento de informação-chave que permita à organização, a reavaliação dos próprios procedimentos e métodos, a consideração de alternativas para gestão integrada do negócio e por último, a decisão de incursionar nesta estratégia de gestão empresarial que dia a dia tem maior transcendência e aceitação mundial

Nicolai Medtner (1880-1951) is regarded as an accomplished composer and one of the most brilliant pianists of his time. He composed numerous compositions for piano that fall into three main categories: piano solo, piano with voice, and piano chamber music. He composed four large-ensemble pieces, including three concerti and the piano quartet in C major. This essay will concentrate on the lesser-known Piano Concerto No. 3, subtitled "Ballade." This three- movement work is extremely challenging because of its large and complex structure. Gaining a clear understanding of the structure and its formal innovation is paramount for performance success. It is my hope that this essay will contribute to bringing this piece into the standard repertoire. There are four chapters in this essay. In Chapter I, a general discussion of the composer's life and his music will be presented. The background of the concerto will be introduced and the purpose of this essay will be discussed in Chapter II. In Chapter III, a detailed analytical discussion of the structure of the concerto will be presented, in order to clarify the structure and the use of thematic materials. Lastly, practice and interpretative suggestions for this concerto will be discussed in Chapter IV.

One of the most critical blocks in a wide-band continuous time sigma delta (CTSD) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is the loop filter. For most loop filter topologies, the performance of the filter depends largely on the performance of the operational amplifiers (op-amps) used in the filter. The op-amps need to have high linearity, low noise and large gain over a wide bandwidth. In this work, the impact of op-amp parameters like noise and linearity on system level performance of the CTSD ADC is studied, and the design specifications are derived for the op-amps. A new class-AB bias scheme, which is more robust to process variations and has an improved high frequency response over the conventional Monticelli bias scheme, is proposed. A biquadratic filter which forms the input stage of a 5th order low pass CTSD ADC is used as a test bench to characterize the op-amp performance. The proposed class-AB output stage is compared with the class-AB output stage with Monticelli bias scheme and a class-A output stage with bias current reuse. The filter using the new op-amp architecture has lower power consumption than the other two architectures. The proposed class AB bias scheme has better process variation and mismatch tolerance compared to the op-amp that uses conventional bias scheme.

This work describes the implementation of DC to DC converter for Smart Dust in 65 nm CMOS technology. The purpose of a DC to DC converter is to convert a battery voltage of 1 Vto a lower voltage of 0.5 V used by the processor. The topology used in this DC to DC converteris of Buck type which converts a higher voltage to lower voltage with the advantage of givinghigh efficiency about 75%. The system uses PWM (Pulse width modulation) technique. It usesnon-overlapping clock generation technique for reducing the power consumption. The systemprovides up to 5 mA load current and has power consumption of 2.5 mW.

A hybrid operational amplifier compensation technique using Miller and multipath compensation is presented for multi-stage amplifier designs. Unconditional stability is achieved by the means of pole-zero cancellation where left-half zeros cancel out the non-dominant poles of the operational amplifier. The compensation technique is stable over process, temperature, and voltage variations. Compared to conventional Miller-compensation, the proposed compensation technique exhibits improved settling response for operational amplifiers with the same gain, bandwidth, power, and area. For the same settling time, the proposed compensation technique will require less area and consume less power than conventional Miller-compensation. Furthermore, the proposed technique exhibits improved output slew rate and lower noise over the conventional Miller-compensation technique. Two-stage operational amplifiers were designed in a 0.18µm CMOS process using the proposed technique and conventional Miller-compensated technique. The design procedure for the two-stage amplifier is applicable for higher-order amplifier designs. The amplifiers were incorporated into a switched-capacitor oscillator where the oscillation harmonics are dependent on the settling behaviour of the op amps. The superior settling response of the proposed compensation technique results in a improved output waveform from the oscillator.

With the development of the network, people are increasingly used to exchanging information on the Internet. Therefore, the capability of robot controller should not be limited to control robots locally. The objective of this thesis is to provide a system, the screenplay based performance platform of Robotic puppet shows (SBPP), commanding multiple robots; each robot performing its own role based on a script composed by the developed authoring tool. Wherever and whenever a user wants to use SBPP, he/she just needs connect to the network and begins to design a script. SBPP consists of three parts: the graphic authoring platform (GAP) of screenplays for robotic puppet shows, the screenplay interpreter (SI) for multi-morphic robots, and robots themself. The work of this thesis is concentrated on the implementation of the GAP and robots (model: DARwIn-OP) control. The GAP provides options for a variety of robots to users. The users can easily design their own robot scripts merely by drag-and-drop operating on icons representing the actions, behavior, and short scripts, respectively. Whenever a script is created or updated, GAP will automatically save the script as an XML file format internally. In addition, robots can be conducted to express their emotions orally by utter the lines composed. The system is demonstrated by a play of ¡§do-as-I-do¡¨ and recoded in a video at YouTube:¡¨ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8ErTOgAQSo¡¨.

Norwegian nationalist composer Edvard Grieg composed one hundred and eighty songs, including songs in Norwegian, Bokmal, German, and Danish. The Sechs Lieder, Op. 48 was written in German texts, which Grieg successfully merged the style of High Romantic Lieder with his Norwegian cultural background. This lecture-recital document contains the following four main sections: Grieg¡¦s biographical information, the musical characteristics of Grieg¡¦s art songs, the background of his composing the Sechs Lieder, Op. 48, and a performance analysis of the Sechs Lieder, Op. 48. The work captures the essence of German Lieder with its text painting and expressive piano accompaniment, and has earned a well-deserved place in the German Lieder repertoire, despite the fact that Grieg does not have German nationality.
