The Viola Concerto No. 1 was commissioned in 2010 by Xidi Shen, a viola professor at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and composed the same year by Zili Li (b. 1938), a Chinese composer and violinist. For musical, cultural, and technical reasons, this little-known Chinese viola concerto strongly aroused my interest, leading me to use it as the research subject for my doctoral dissertation and to also introduce this work to Western violists. This dissertation provides a performance guide to Zili Li's Viola Concerto No. 1. By analyzing the Mongolian music topics used in the work as well as addressing its typical Mongolian-style string performance techniques, the dissertation should provide a foundation for viola players who wish to play the work but are not familiar with this specific style. In addition, I hope that it can serve as an inspiration to other string players who are playing works based on Mongolian music.

With the importance of versatility in freelance work in the world of trombone performance, along with increased competition for that work, the need for players to play alto, tenor, and bass trombones to a high level of proficiency has become more and more crucial. This, coupled with the growing number of orchestras looking to hire musicians who are highly competent on all three instruments means that university professors need to be able to teach all three instruments. This evolution of the job market is driving a need for pedagogical material that is specifically designed to address the unique challenges of practicing and performing at a professional level on the main three instruments in the trombone family. As of the time of writing, this material simply does not exist. This project aims to fill that instructional gap. It gives students and teachers a resource that outlines an approach for a four-year undergraduate course of study that allows for the development of the playing of each of the trombones individually and collectively, utilizing the strengths of one instrument to develop the other two. It will also allow for the exploration of the technical challenges that arise when playing and changing between instruments. This four-year course of study combined with a clear explanation of numerous routines can be used from early in a student's development. It can be tailored to their specific needs and will give any teacher and student a comprehensive and holistic method for the acquisition of the skills needed to become a successful utility trombonist.

Talks about the historical processes of this musical style, fundamental piece for the comprehension, and about the moshpit too, corporal performance of the crowd that is completely associated with the experience to be in a rock and roll event. Field researches happened on Goiania, Goiás, and narratives were done about how these events happen and how the moshpit performance happen. The methodological path used was the cultural performance studies, that are coherent with the theme. It is possible to conclude that the ambience that rise when these events happen are full of liminarities and freedom, and all of this context ethic and aesthetical of rock and roll, moshpit and performance comes with a group of restored behaviors e a incorporated knowledge for the people that integrate the scenario and these ambiances. / A seguinte pesquisa aborda sobre o rock and roll e fenômenos que venham se contextualizar com essa temática, a exemplo do uso dos espaços pelos fãs e das formas de sociabilidades que são encontradas nesses espaços em que os eventos acontecem. Aborda-se sobre os processos históricos deste estilo musical, elemento fundamental para sua compreensão, e também sobre o moshpit, performance corporal da plateia que está completamente associada à experiência de se participar de um evento de rock and roll. Pesquisas de campo ocorreram na cidade de Goiânia, Goiás, e foram executadas narrativas de como acontecem os eventos e de como ocorre a performance do moshpit. O caminho metodológico utilizado foi dos estudos em performances culturais, que são coerentes com a temática abordada. É possível concluir que o ambiente que vem à tona quando esses eventos são executados é repleto de liminaridades e de liberdade, e que todo esse contexto ético e estético de rock and roll, moshpit e performance vem de um conjunto de comportamentos restaurados e de um conhecimento incorporado por parte das pessoas que integram esse cenário e esses ambientes.

Bien que les matériaux composites soient déjà très largement utilisés dans de nombreux domaines il n’en demeure pas moins qu’ils présentent toujours des pistes de développement et d’améliorations. Cela vise principalement à accroitre leurs performances et leur légèreté. La recherche sur l’utilisation de fibres naturelles et résines bio-sourcées dans la fabrication de composites s’est intensifiée avec le désir des entreprises de réduire les coûts de production, de recycler leurs produits et d’afficher une image « verte ».Ce projet s’inscrit dans ce cadre puisqu’il a pour but de caractériser l’effet d’un traitement de fibres naturelles sur les performances de matériaux composites. Le traitement réalisé sera le revêtement de fibres de lin par une couche mince de dioxyde de titane. Bien que de nombreux traitements sur les fibres visant à les rendre plus performantes existent déjà ce traitement permet de conserver le caractère biocompatible des fibres naturelles, d’améliorer leur résistance thermique et de diminuer leur capacité d’absorption d’humidité. De plus la nature de la matrice de ces composites sera amenée à varier pour étudier l’influence de ce traitement de surface sur l’adhésion interfaciale fibre/matrice. Le but de ce projet est d’étudier l’effet d’un traitement au dioxyde de titane réalisé par un procédé sol gel sur les performances mécaniques de composites. Cette caractérisation se fera à travers divers tests comme ceux de tension, cisaillement ou encore absorption d’humidité afin d’évaluer sur quels paramètres le traitement à une influence.

It is the purpose of this dissertation to examine in detail those types of dramatic performances in the period 1580-1660 which were not conditioned by the exigencies of a regular theatre and a paying audience, academic and, to a certain extent, court productins have been omitted in order to concentrate attention on less thoroughly investigated branches of the subject.

Le codage espace-temps est une technique qui permet d'exploiter de façon très efficace la diversité spatiale et temporelle présente dans certains systèmes de communication, dont le canal sans fil. Le principal avantage de cette technique est une très grande efficacité spectrale. Dans nos jours, où le canal radio-mobile est de plus en plus utilisé pour transmettre tout type d'information, les méthodes permettant une utilisation plus efficace du spectre électromagnétique ont une importance fondamentale. Les algorithmes de réception connus aujourd'hui sont très complexes, même en ce qui concerne les codes espace-temps les plus simples. Cette complexité reste l'un des obstacles principaux à l'exploitation commerciale de ces codes. Cette thèse présente une étude très détaillée de la complexité, la performance, et les aspects les plus intéressants du comportement des algorithmes de réception pour des codes espace-temps, étude qui présente un moyen rapide pour une éventuelle conception des architectures adaptées à ce problème. Parmi les sujets présentés dans cette thèse, une étude approfondie de la performance de ces algorithmes a été réalisée, ayant pour objectif d'avoir une connaisance suffisante pour pouvoir choisir, parmi le grand nombre d'algorithmes connus, le mieux adapté à chaque système particulier. Des améliorations aux algorithmes connus ont aussi été proposées et analysées.

Relatively, its manager's leadership behavior and the organization performances, also have a difference with the privately operated enterprise. In recent years world¡¦s advanced countries impelled¡yReengineering Government¡z, the study enterprise was in vogue¡yBusiness Process Reengineering¡z, proposed served the idea to take the government as the customer guidance, expected the affiliation was reborn by organization's leadership behavior, changed tradition administration organization culture operation pattern, adapted the fast change environment, satisfied the populace to the government service request. The government department may from the service populace's viewpoint, readjust, the design administration organization and the administrative flow, achievement organization of performances the government department. The research take "the leadership behavior, the organization culture, the organization performances", discusses the correlation of the government department in the leadership behavior, the organization culture, and the organization performances. This research takes the questionnaire survey, is of department manager by way of the Tainan municipal government civil administration bureau correlation (municipal government civil administration bureau, household politics office and various areas geographical unit of government) is the research object, effectively asked the volume returns-ratio is 71.33% (sends asks a question volume 150, effectively asked volume 107), by way of the statistical analysis process, after reorganize the induction, this research discovered: 1. The leadership behavior and organization culture each other have reveals is being correlated. 2. The leadership behavior and the organization culture has to the organization performances reveals is affecting. 3. The different department manager individual characteristic in the leadership behavior, the organization culture and in the organization performance has reveals the difference. Key word: Leadership behavior, organization culture, organization performances.
