High Wire is a chamber ballet in five movements for multiple woodwind player (piccolo, Eb clarinet, alto saxophone, bass clarinet) and piano. It was inspired by Frederick H. Graham's Wait For The Muncie Boys: Indiana's Early Circuses, and was first performed, with choreography by Michele Kriner, at a concert of the Middletown Arts Project on January 26, 2003. The work is somewhat unusual in that it is both tonal and serial. It evokes popular musical styles of the turn of the twentieth century, with particular reference to circus music, and yet it is based on a twelve-tone series and generally adheres to strict serial techniques. The genesis of the work, the relationship of the music to the choreography, and the way in which two rather different musical sensibilities are reconciled are discussed in the written report that serves as an introduction to the score. A recording of the first performance is included in the side-pocket. / School of Music

This diploma thesis describes with simple bus 1-Wire technology, which is suitable for transfer of data measured by sensors. It describes the standard of bus and 1-Wire and iButton functional elements. This theoretical knowledge was applied during the construction of practical part. There has been a meteorological observatory constructed, which has been described in the next part of the diploma thesis. The last part of dissertation describes online distribution of measured values on internet.

We investigate ionization and high harmonic generation (HHG) from the interaction of a mid infra-red laser pulse with a solid state system confined to nano-dimensions. The theory of strong field processes in solids is developed for confined quantum systems in general. Here it is applied to two-dimensional quantum wires with a driving field linearly polarised along the axis of the wires. Our findings indicate that that we are able to control the ionization and high-harmonic output by altering the width of the wire. Control of ionization leads to an increased damage threshold which has important implications for nano-engineering and realizing all solid state coherent XUV sources.

<p>The purpose of this master thesis project has been to analyze and document the Sirius 2001 Concept Car. In addition, it has also been a goal to get the car in a usable state by implementing new software on the on board computers. </p><p>The car is a Tiger Cat E1 that is modified with four wheel steering and an advanced X-by-Wire system. The computers in the X-by-Wire system consist of six TTP PowerNodes that communicate with each other over a redundant, fault tolerant TTP/C communications bus. The computers are connected to a number of sensors and actuators to be able to control the car. </p><p>This project has contributed to the car in several ways. A complete documentation of the systems implemented in the car is one. Another is a programmers manual which significantly lowers the threshold when working with the car. Last but not least is the modifications in hardware and software, which have made the car usable and show some of the possibilities with the system. </p><p>The results show that the Sirius 2001 Concept Car is a suitable platform for research in car dynamics and fault tolerant systems. The work has also shown that the TTP/C communication model works well in an application like this.</p>
