In both study objects, there are characters who were famous movie stars in the past, but now are relegated to ostracism by Hollywood. There are male characters in the play and the movie who want, but cannot achieve fame in the American film industry and they establish a prostitution relationship with the actresses. These are people presented as decadent, narcissistic, materialistic and have tragic endings. Furthermore, there are other characters and aspects of the selected works that expose decadent facets of American society at the time, as the representation of religious conservatism in Sweet bird of youth and the working relationship in the film Sunset Boulevard. By analyzing the characters in the works and how they relate with each other and with the society which surrounds them, it is possible to verify a commentary done by the authors about the negative consequences of capitalism, of the film industry and of the conservatism in the American society. / O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar comparativamente a peça Doce pássaro da juventude, de 1959, do dramaturgo Tennessee Williams, e o filme Crepúsculo dos deuses, de 1950, do cineasta Billy Wilder, com foco na decadência, observando como este aspecto foi representado e qual função desempenha no texto dramático e no filme. Nos dois objetos de estudo figuram personagens atrizes que, no passado, foram famosas estrelas de cinema, mas que agora se encontram relegadas ao ostracismo por Hollywood. Há personagens masculinas na peça e no filme que desejam, mas não conseguem alcançar a fama na indústria cinematográfica americana e estabelecem uma relação de prostituição com as atrizes. São figuras apresentadas como decadentes, narcisistas, materialistas e que têm finais trágicos. Também há, além dessas, outras personagens e aspectos nas obras selecionadas que expõem facetas decadentes da sociedade americana da época, como a representação do conservadorismo religioso em Doce pássaro da juventude e das relações de trabalho no cinema em Crepúsculo dos deuses. Por meio das personagens nas obras e no modo como elas se relacionam entre si e com a sociedade que as cercam, é possível verificar uma análise feita pelos autores das consequências negativas do capitalismo, da indústria cinematográfica e do puritanismo da sociedade americana.

This document discusses the relationship between trumpet and percussion over the past centuries, the development of music for trumpet and percussion ensembles, trumpet and percussion in twentieth-century chamber music and the creation of music for trumpet and marimba. A listing of all known trumpet and percussion duos is included. An exploration of the development of the Wilder Duo and a listing of all known trumpet and marimba duos is also included. There are analyses of works by Gordon Stout, Paul Turok and Alec Wilder. These analyses examine sound, form, harmony, melody and rhythm for each piece. Musical illustrations are included. These analyses are divided into chapters. Each chapter begins with a short biography of each composer. A short description of each work is also given. Summaries are included at the end of each analytical chapter.

The 17th Indiana Volunteer Regiment was part of “Wilder’s Lightning Brigade”, a mounted infantry brigade under Col. John T. Wilder. Through his efforts he mounted his infantry on horseback and equipped them with Spencer Repeating Rifles. This paper argues that these changes were deliberate on the part of John T. Wilder rather than emulating others, led to a conscious and noticeable change in tactics, that these changes were effective, and examines the Brigade’s influences on future military tactics. Through the use a various Primary and Secondary sources, with heavy emphasis placed on diaries, letters, unit histories, and drill manuals, I show that the changes made were deliberate, noticed by the men and their adversaries, highly effective, and an early example of future forces like mechanized infantry.

Die Samenausbreitung ist eine entscheidende Phase im Lebenszyklus von Pflanzen. Verschiedene Mechanismen haben sich entwickelt, um eine erfolgreiche Keimung zukünftiger Generationen sicherzustellen. Diese schließen die Selbstverbreitung von Samen durch hygroskopische Bewegung von Grannen neben der Verbreitung durch Wind, Wasser oder Tiere ein. Das Verständnis der Struktur-Funktions-Beziehung ist sowohl für das Verstehen, wie sich Pflanzen an spezifische Umweltbedingungen anpassen können, als auch für die potenzielle Entwicklung biomimetischer Anwendungen wichtig. Diese Dissertation konzentriert sich auf die Ausbreitung von Taubem Hafer (Avena sterilis) und zielt darauf ab, die komplexe Bewegung der Grannen zu charakterisieren. Dies wird erreicht, indem die Zellwandstruktur und -zusammensetzung, welche die Bewegung antreiben, mit einer Reihe von komplementären mikroskopischen und spektroskopischen Methoden analysiert werden. / Seed dispersal is a crucial stage in the life cycle of plants. Different mechanisms have evolved to ensure successful germination of future generations. This includes the self-dispersal of seeds by hygroscopic movement of awns among dispersal by wind, water, or animals. Understanding the structure-function relationship is important to comprehend how plants can adapt to specific environmental conditions and also for potential development of biomimetic applications. This thesis focuses on the dispersal of wild oats (Avena sterilis) and aims to characterize the complex movement of the awns by analyzing the cell wall structure and composition that drives the motion with a range of complementary microscopic and spectroscopic methods.

abstract: This project discusses the horn, tuba, piano sub-genre of brass chamber music. Alec Wilder wrote the first piece for this instrumentation in 1963 for his friends John Barrows and Harvey Phillips. Wilder's compositional style was directly affected by life events and relationships. Through letters, biographies, recordings and autobiographies the importance of his friendship with Barrows and Phillips are displayed to show the links between the two men and the composer's compositional output. A deeper look into the life of Alec Wilder and a thematic analysis of his Suite No.1 for Horn, Tuba and Piano (1963), and Suite No.2 for Horn, Tuba and Piano (1971) shed light on the beginnings of the genre and provide a deeper understanding of the works. Since Wilder's two trios there have been at least twenty works written for this instrumentation. A brief overview of works written for the trio since 1971 provide a broad sense of the quantity and benefits of the trio in the hopes of inspiring new performances and compositions. This paper will combine the seemingly random compositions for the instrumentation into a collected repertoire. With an increase in exposure, the trio for horn, tuba and piano has the potential to become a standard brass chamber group that will benefit students, performers, and audiences alike. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2015
