1	Investigation of KcsA Activation Using Ion Channel Recording Techniques Zhu, Yongfang 08 1900 (has links) <p> Potassium channels allow selective flow of K+ ions across impermeable membranes. They switch between closed and open states in response to stimulus. The closed state of KcsA, a potassium channel from the bacteria streptomyces lividans, has been crystallized and studied. However, attempts to obtain a structural description of gating transition of the channel have been hampered because the open state is transiently occupied. In this study, we investigated changes in gating functions of KcsA caused by variations in environmental parameters such as pH, voltage and also mutation in KcsA using planar bilayer and patch clamp channel recording techniques to improve our understanding on the functional aspect of gate activation of KcsA.</p> / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)

3	Music, Media, and Subjectivity: On The Limits of Determinism Vallee, Mickey 06 1900 (has links) This thesis explores the limitations of determinism in regards to music, media, and the constitution of subjectivity. Its methodological resource is derived from a synthesis between media ecology, social psychoanalysis, and music semiotics. The case studies describe the incorporation of nostalgia into popular music ballads, the domestication of the phonograph, the contemporary trend of mashups, and the studio technique of backmasking. The conclusion asks that we readjust our approach to music, media, and subjectivity to account for the possibility of creative acts that are bound within a network of determinants. I use, finally, the writings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty to explore the body as a primary site of indeterminate mediation, which renders possible for the subject a potential of creative embodied expression.

5	The impact of time alignment on preference and attributes in modern pop drum recording Brink, Albin January 2024 (has links) This study investigates the impact of time alignment on perceived attributes for drumkit recording techniques within the context of popular music. While previous research has compared time alignment in drum recording, little attention has been paid to the differences it may cause in perceived recording qualities. To address this gap, various overhead microphone configurations were recorded alongside kick and snare microphones to create stimuli for listening tests. These recordings were then processed with and without time alignment, and attributes such as clarity and punch were evaluated by participants using a modified MUSHRA interface. The results consistently favored non-time-aligned techniques in terms of perceived clarity and punch, with statistically significant differences observed in most cases. Preferences between engineers and musicians did not significantly differ. Participants provided both quantitative and qualitative feedback, including preferences for certain techniques and evaluations of clarity, punch, balance, size, and width. Least preferred samples exhibited characteristics such as roominess, phase issues, processed sound, dryness, harshness, muddiness, and undefined qualities. Critiques of the XY configurations included mentions of uneven stereo imaging and unnatural phase correlation, suggesting potential improvements in mic placement.
