Jag har valt att skriva om Brahms f-moll-sonat eftersom det är den sortens musik som berör mig mest inombords. Jag fastnade för musik för soloviola redan som liten. Detta verk är ett av de främsta och mest spelade verken för viola vilket gör att det blir en viktig del i violarepertoaren. Brahms levde mellan 1833 och 1897, förhållandena var annorlunda då jämfört med nu vilket medför att stycket lät annorlunda då mot vad det gör nu på moderna instrument och strängar. Jag har försökt efterforska hur nära man kan komma originaluppförandet och dåtidens klangideal och teknik. Detta verk skrevs först för klarinett men strax därefter gjorde Brahms en alternativ violaversion och jag har tittat på några skillnader mellan versionerna. Jag har också jämfört olika moderna utgåvor och provat att spela på sensträngar för att få en känsla av hur det egentligen kan ha känts och låtit med mer tidstroget material än moderna strängar.

Stellar Ouintet is a composition in five movements (Prologue, Allegro, "...Of Stars", Rondo, Epilogue) for two violins, viola, violoncello, and harpsichord. It makes extensive use of constellations , a term used in this work to denote arrangements of pitches in spatial notation. This method of notation is derived from actual astronomical constellations. The score makes use of both real and freely constructed constellations which are rotated around their own central axis. The score is 90 pages long with a 28 page analysis preceding the score. The work has a performance time of approximately 18-20 minutes

Master of Science / Department of Geology / Matthew Totten / Jackson County, Kansas is situated on the west side of the Forest City Basin, location of the first oil discovery west of the Mississippi River (KGS), Production in the area is predominately from the Viola Limestone, and a noticeable trend of oil fields has developed where the basin meets the Nemaha Anticline. Exploration has been sluggish, because of the lack of an exploration model. Production rates have varied widely from well to well, even when they are structurally equivalent. The goal of this study was to determine the factors controlling reservoir quality in the Ordovician-aged Viola Limestone so that a better exploration model could be developed. A two township area was studied to examine relationships between subsurface variations and production rates. In the absence of an available core through the Viola, drill cuttings were thin-sectioned and examined under a petrographic microscope to see the finer details of porosity, porosity type and dolomite crystal-size that are not visible under a binocular microscope. Production appears to be controlled by a combination of structural position and dolomite crystal size, which was controlled by secondary diagenesis in the freshwater-marine phreatic mixing zone. The best wells exhibited a Viola Limestone made up of 100% very coarsely crystalline, euhedral dolomite crystals. These wells occur on the east and southeast sides of present day anticlines, which I have interpreted to be paleo-highs that have been tilted to the east-southeast.

A área de produção da cana-de-açúcar destinada à colheita mecanizada da cana-crua tem crescido bastante nas últimas décadas. Tal processo deixa sobre o solo uma quantidade significativa de palha, alterando fatores como temperatura, menores oscilações térmicas e incidência de luz sob essa cobertura vegetal. Algumas espécies vêm se destacando no sistema de cultivo de cana-crua por conseguirem emergir com facilidade sob a palha. Assim sendo, este trabalho foi conduzido com o objetivo de analisar o efeito da luz e da temperatura sobre a germinação, estudar o efeito da profundidade da semente no solo sob palha de cana-de-açúcar e avaliar a susceptibilidade a herbicidas aplicados sobre a palha de cana-de-açúcar em época seca de cinco espécies de plantas daninhas da família Convolvulaceae: Ipomoea grandifolia, Ipomoea hederifolia, Ipomoea quamoclit, Ipomoea nil e Merremia cissoides. Os experimentos foram conduzidos no Laboratório de Análise de Sementes e em casade- vegetação do Departamento de Produção Vegetal da ESALQ/USP, Piracicaba SP, nos anos de 2007 e 2008. Com relação ao efeito da temperatura sobre germinação, os resultados obtidos demonstraram que essas espécies respondem diferentemente aos efeitos da temperatura e apresentam capacidade de germinação em um amplo espectro de temperaturas. Ficou evidente que temperaturas abaixo de 17,20C reduzem significativamente a germinação das sementes de todas as espécies chegando até a inibir por completo o processo germinativo de I. quamoclit. As espécies apresentaram boa capacidade de germinação a partir de temperaturas em torno de 20oC até os 35oC. A escarificação química com ácido sulfúrico foi capaz de aumentar significativamente a porcentagem de sementes germinadas. Todas as espécies germinaram mais rapidamente (IVG) à temperaturas entre 25,9 e 30,2oC. Para a influência da luz e temperatura, todas as espécies germinaram tanto na presença quanto na ausência de luz, porém, mostraram respostas diferenciadas à presença de luz e às condições de temperatura. Todas as espécies tiveram os piores resultados de germinação e IVG no escuro sob temperatura constante de 25oC. Já para a influência da profundidade sobre emergência de plântulas, constatou-se significância do fator cobertura do solo apenas para algumas espécies de plantas daninhas. Resultado semelhante foi observado para a significância da interação de profundidade da semente e cobertura do solo. Todas as espécies mostraram maiores emergências quando dispostas em superfície do que em relação àquelas enterradas, tanto na presença quanto na ausência de palha. Notou-se que os herbicidas amicarbazone e hexazinone+diuron podem ser recomendados para controle em pré-emergência das espécies estudadas em condição de seca, tanto sobre palha de cana-de-açúcar quanto diretamente ao solo. Já o herbicida imazapic não foi eficiente para o controle de M. cissoides (com ou sem palha sobre o solo), e I. nil (com ou sem palha), controlando bem as demais espécies. Tebuthiuron (com ou sem palha sobre o solo) e sulfentrazone (com palha) não foram eficazes apenas para M. cissoides, que se mostrou a espécie de maior dificuldade de controle. O herbicida metribuzim se mostrou a pior opção para o manejo químico das espécies estudadas. / The growth of sugarcane area designated to mechanized yield has been significant along decades. This process leaves over the soil an significant amount of straw, changing conditions as temperature, lower thermal oscillations and the incision of light under this vegetal cover. Some weed species have been selected by this system because they have the capacity of germinating and emerge normally from under crop residues. Therefore, this work was conducted with the objective of analyzing the influence of light and temperature over germination, the influence of seeding depth and soil covering condition on seedling emergence and the susceptibility to herbicides applied over sugarcane straw in dry condition of five weed species of the Convolvulaceae family: Ipomoea grandifolia, Ipomoea hederifolia, Ipomoea quamoclit, Ipomoea nil e Merremia cissoides. The experiments were conducted in 2007 and 2008 at the Laboratory of Seed Analyses and at the greenhouse of the Department of Vegetal Production of ESALQ/USP, in Piracicaba-SP. For the experiment that evaluated the influence of temperature over seed germination, results showed that morningglory species have different reactions to different temperatures and also have the capacity of germinate on a wide range of temperatures. Temperatures less than 17,20C can reduce significantly germination of all species, even inhibiting germination at all for I. quamoclit. Species showed good capacity of germinating on temperatures from 20oC to 35oC. Acid scarification of seeds was capable of elevate significantly the percentage of seed germinated. All species germinated faster (IVG) on temperatures between 25,9 and 30,2oC. On the experiment of light and temperature influence over germination, results showed that all species germinated as well on presence or absence of light. All species had their worst performance of germination and IVG on darkness and constant temperature conditions. Regarding to soil-seeding depth, for all the species, higher emergence was observed when seeds were distributed on soil surface, either in the presence or in the absence of straw. Considering the emergence of I. hederifolia and I. nil neither soil covering nor interaction (depth x covering) effect was observed. For I. quamoclit, there were observed isolated effects of soil covering and seeding depth, which indicated better species adaptability to emerge in soil without the presence of straw on surface. Also for the species I.triloba and M. cissoides, the emergence was lower in the plots with straw on soil surface when compared with those without straw and, still, straw distributed on soil surface reduced significantly the speed of emergence and seedling establishment. Amicarbazone and hexazinone+diuron can be recommended for pre-emergence control all species on dry conditions, even when applied over sugarcane straw. Imazapic had no efficient control for M. cissoids and I. nil, both, even when apllied over the straw or directly on soil surface, but showed good efficacy for the other species. Tebuthiuron (apllied over the straw or directly on soil surface) and sulfentrazone (when apllied over the straw) were not efficient only for M. cissoides, which was the most difficult specie to control. Metribuzim was the worst option for control of all species.

我在二零一一至二零一二年度期間創作的音樂作品涵蓋各種樂器配置與規模，意在以各種不同的載體去發揮音樂創意。本作品集精挑細選於上述期間創作的三首作品集成，包括一首室內樂團作品，一首管樂團作品，以及一首五重奏室內樂作品。每首作品以不同的音樂元素為焦點，諸如音高、音色、織體、節奏；這些焦點皆以引出創藝潛能為目標，增加在未來創作中所能靈活運用的音樂素材。每首作品的音樂元素焦點如下： / 《魘逐》為室內樂團作品，以節奏為焦點。錯落的節奏以及各種節奏上的音樂趣味，透過音高材料有限的運用及發展得以突出，是以本作在和聲和旅律方面的音高大部分是為由單一的音級集合所掌控。 / 《夜潮》為管樂團作品，主要探索木管、銅管與毃擊各種樂器協作間的漸變音色和織體。低音大鑼為本作的重要角色，奏出一輪混沌的泛音群，與管樂團內的各種樂器融為一體。音色組合的漸變為本作添加音樂上的趣味，而由升F多利安調式所限制的音高素材則能突顯音色與織體的發展。 / 《蜃景》是寫給五件樂器的室樂作品，特意探索弦樂器的微觀音色變化，包括小提琴、中提琴、低音大提琴，主要以漸變而誇張的運弓位置轉換達成。弦樂的一組與雙簧管、巴松管的一組時而相互配合，時而各自發揮，而雙簧組合的音色亦透過各種演奏技巧或音域加以變化。音高素材為簡約的兩個四音和弦，其相扣而成的音階在曲中慢慢成形。跟《夜潮》相比，《蜃景》的音色與織體變化在室內樂的設定中，更容易讓聽眾體驗到當中細緻精密的音樂設計。 / Aiming to channel musical creativity into an array of vehicles, my works composed in 20112012 involve instrumental forces of varying line-up and sizes. Three carefully selected works from the said compositional output are featured in this portfolio: one work for chamber orchestra, one work for symphonic band, and one chamber work for five instruments. Each of them focuses on a different parameter of music ranging from pitch, timbre, texture, to rhythm; by imposing such a focus, it fulfils my intention of stretching my creative potential in all these different parameters, in hopes of expanding the breadth of my musical vocabularies that I could employ with ease and flair in my future works. The parametrical foci are explained as follows. / The Nightmare Escape, a chamber orchestral work, is a composition that focuses on the rhythmic aspect. The irregularities and musical interests in rhythm are emphasized through the economic, if not limited, employment and development of pitch materials that are, for the majority of the piece, organized by pitch-class set harmonically and melodically. / Les Marèes de la nuit, a piece for symphonic band, explores the gradual change of instrumental colour and textures within the domain of winds, brass, and percussions. A key instrument featured in this piece is the tam-tam, which creates a cloud of overtones that seamlessly blend with any of the instrumental sounds from the orchestra. The gradual shifting of sound combination creates the musical interest in this piece. The confining of pitch materials within the F-sharp Dorian mode contributes to the central idea of timbral and textural development. / Fata Morgana, a chamber work for five instruments, experiments with microscopic timbral effects in the strings, namely violin, viola, and double bass, through the employment of gradual yet exaggerative shifting in bow position. At different intervals, this cohort works together or against the double-reed cohort of oboe and bassoon, whose timbral possibilities are also explored through different playing techniques and registers. The pitch material is further streamlined to two interlocking tetrachords that slowly unfold a synthetic scale. Compared to Les Marèes de la nuit, Fata Morgana features more minute timbral and textural changes within a chamber ensemble setting, making the refined and delicate design more readily audible to the audience. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Chan, Kai Young. / Thesis (M.Mus.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Electronic reproduction.

Rhinobatos percellens is the third most abundant species found in the by-catch. From June 2003 to May 2011, 714 beach seine hauls were closely monitored with the objective of analyzing the population structure of R. percellens. A total of 712 individuals were collected, including 303 females (42.56%) and 409 males (57.44%). The sexual proportion was significantly different of the expected ratio of 1:1 (1.0: 0.74 to male; p < 0.01). Female total length (TL) varied from 14.8 to 69.4 cm (mean=36.4 cm) and male from 14.5 to 57.5 cm (mean=34.5 cm). Although the females presented maximum length 17.2% higher than male, there was no significant difference (p = 0.11) in length by sex. Age and growth studies from annual rings allowed the age structure of the population to be known. Female ages ranged between 0-10 years and male between 0-6 years, however growth did not differ between sexes. The length at maturity of female was 44.3 cm and 43.2 for male, which corresponded to 2.9 and 2.8 years respectively. All life phases were included in the sample being represented by 36.65% of young-of-the-year, 44.52% of juveniles and 18.82% of adults. It was possible to assess that the recruitment to fisheries begins at age zero and a majority of juveniles are withdrawn through exploitation. Results reveal that the species is highly vulnerable and has low resilience according to the analysis of ecological risk of elasmobranchs caught by beach seine. Summing up, if the species is not able to develop a fast compensatory response to the fishing pressure, it may follow the same fate as its congener R. horkelii, from southern Brazil which is currently categorized as critically as endangered. / O município de Caiçara do Norte (05º 04‘S e 36º 03’W) é considerado um dos 5 maiores produtores de pescado marinho e estuarino do estado do Rio Grande do Norte. Na região são efetuados arrastos de praia para a captura de camarão sendo a raia-viola Rhinobatos percellens a terceira espécie mais abundante no by-catch. Entre junho de 2003 a maio de 2011 foram acompanhados 714 lances de arrasto de praia com objetivo de analisar a estrutura populacional de R. percellens. Foram coletados 712 indivíduos, sendo 303 fêmeas (42,56%) e 409 machos (57,44%). A proporção sexual foi significativamente diferente da esperada de 1:1 (1,0 : 0,74 para os machos; p < 0,01). O comprimento total (CT) das fêmeas variou de 14,8 a 69,4 cm (média=36,4 cm) e machos de 14,5 a 57,5 cm (média=34,5 cm). Embora as maiores fêmeas da amostra apresentem comprimento máximo 17,2% superior que os maiores machos da amostra, não houve diferença significativa (p = 0,11) dos tamanhos médios por sexo. Estudos de idade e crescimento a partir da leitura de anéis etários em vértebras permitiram a análise da estrutura etária da população. Fêmeas apresentaram idades entre 0–10 anos e machos entre 0-6 anos, no entanto o crescimento não diferiu entre sexos. Os comprimentos de maturação gonadal para fêmeas foi de 44,3 cm e machos 43,2 cm, que correspondem a 2,9 e 2,8 anos, respectivamente. Todas as fases de vida estiveram presentes na amostra sendo representadas em 36,65% por neonatos, 44,52% por jovens e 18,82% por adulto. Foi possível observar através da composição etária que o recrutamento pesqueiro inicia-se com idade 0+ e que desta forma a pesca tem retirado da população principalmente os indivíduos imaturos. Este resultado confere à espécie uma alta vulnerabilidade e baixo poder de resiliência de acordo com análise de risco ecológico para elasmobrânquios capturados em arrastos de praia. Caso a espécie não apresente uma rápida resposta compensatória à pressão pesqueira poderá ocorrer a mesma situação observada a sua congênere R. horkelii, capturada no Rio Grande do Sul, que foi categorizada como espécie ameaçada de extinção.

Nos sistemas de colheita mecanizada de cana-de-açúcar é depositada sobre o solo camada de palha, em quantidades que variam de 5 a 20 ton ha-1, e ocasionam mudanças na flora infestante, adaptadas às essas condições. A aplicação de herbicidas residuais sobre a palha de cana-de-açúcar gera dúvidas, pois as informações sobre a maioria dos produtos recomendados são escassas, no que diz respeito à retenção/transposição dos mesmos. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar a dinâmica dos herbicidas diuron, metribuzin e tebuthiuron, quando aplicados na cultura da cana-de-açúcar, sobre a palha, através de ensaios de sorção e dessorção, e também quando aplicados sobre diferentes quantidades de palha e condições de chuva simulada. A interação entre dose e quantidade de palha de cana-de-açúcar no controle da planta daninha Ipomoea grandifolia, foi estudada através de curvas de dose-resposta, utilizando seis doses (0, ¼ D, ½ D, D (dose recomendada), 2D, 4D) em quatro quantidades de palha (0, 5, 10 e 15 ton ha- 1). Para os estudos de sorção e dessorção utilizou-se produtos radiomarcados e cinco concentrações iniciais de diuron e metribuzin. A contagem da radioatividade foi obtida através espectrometria de cintilação líquida, e a quantidade da substância teste sorvida foi determinada pela diferença entre a concentração inicial e a concentração de equilíbrio. Foram realizados dois estudos independentes, em que a dessorção ocorreu 24 horas e sete dias após a sorção. No estudo de dinâmica em diferentes regimes hídricos foram testados seis níveis para o fator chuva simulada (Testemunha, 0, 5, 10, 20 e 20+20 mm), três herbicidas (diuron, metribuzin e tebuthiuron) e duas quantidades de palha (0 e 10 ton ha-1), com quatro repetições. Foram utilizadas as doses comerciais para diuron (2.000 g i.a. ha-1), metribuzin (1.920 g i.a. ha-1) e tebuthiuron (1.200 g i.a. ha-1). Nos estudos de interação entre dose e quantidade de palha verificou-se que a dose dos herbicidas necessárias para um controle eficaz de I. grandifolia varia significativamente com a quantidade de palha sobre o solo, principalmente nas quantidades de 10 a 15 ton ha-1. No processo de sorção, o herbicida diuron foi mais retido pela palha quando comparado ao metribuzin, sendo fracamente sorvidos à palha. Sete dias não foi suficiente para tornar o processo de sorção de diuron e metribuzin irreversível. No estudo de dinâmica dos herbicidas, a palha afetou de maneira significativa o controle de plantas daninhas pelos herbicidas na ausência de chuva simulada, sendo que uma chuva simulada de 20 mm foi suficiente para promover lixiviação de todos os herbicidas para o solo, e promover excelentes níveis de controle das plantas daninhas. / In the system of mechanized sugarcane harvest it is deposited on the soil surface a straw layer, which varies from 5 to 20 ton ha-1, and causes changes in weed, selecting the weeds better adapted to these conditions. The use of residual herbicides on the straw of sugarcane generates doubts, because much of the information about the recommended products are scarce, regarding to the retention/transferring. This study aimed to evaluate the dynamics of diuron, tebuthiuron and metribuzin when applied on sugarcane, and straw through sorption and desorption tests and as well as when applied to different quantities of straw and conditions of simulated rain. The interaction between herbicide dose and amount of sugarcane straw on the control of the weed Ipomoea grandifolia was performed using dose-response curves with six doses (0, ¼ D, ½ D, D (recommended dose), 2D , 4D) in four amounts of straw (0, 5, 10 and 15 ton ha-1). . For the studies of sorption and desorption it was used radiolabeled products and five initial concentrations of diuron and metribuzin. The counting of radioactivity was obtained by liquid scintillation spectrometry, and the amount of sorbed test substance was determined by the difference between the initial concentration and the equilibrium concentration. It was performed two independent studies in which the desorption occurred 24 h and seven days after the sorption. In the study of dynamic in different water regimes it was tested six levels of simulated rain factor (control, 0, 5, 10, 20 and 20 +20 mm), three herbicides (diuron, tebuthiuron and metribuzin), and two amounts of straw (0 and 10 ton ha-1), with four replications. The commercial rates were diuron (2.000 g i.a. ha-1), metribuzin (1.920 g i.a. ha-1) and tebuthiuron (1.200 g i.a. ha-1). It was evaluated the visual control of Ipomoea grandifolia and Cucumis sativus. The study of interaction between dose and amount of straw showed that the dose of herbicide required for effective control of I. grandifolia varies significantly with the amount of straw on the soil, especially in amounts between 10 and 15 ton ha-1. In the sorption process, the herbicide diuron is retained more as compared to metribuzin, and weakly sorbed to the straw. Seven days were not enough to make the process of sorption of metribuzin and diuron irreversible. In the study of herbicide dynamic, the straw significantly affected the weed control by herbicides in the absence of rain, and a rain of 20 mm was sufficient to promote all herbicides leaching into the soil, and promote excellent levels of weed control.
