Esta pesquisa procura compreender os diferentes desenhos plásticos assumidos pela chanchada em sua importante trajetória na história da cultura no Brasil no século XX. Na constituição da chanchada como performance do insólito várias práticas teatrais desempenharam um papel importante, mas acreditamos que foi sobretudo o trabalho dos atores e atrizes brasileiros que mais contribuiu para sua constituição. Presente em produções artísticas interessadas em figurar a insolidez da vida nacional e notando a importância do trabalho do ator Grande Otelo nesse processo, nosso interesse foi situar a traje

Abstract:
Interactions in improvised music: people at play This project began as an open exploration of musical interactions in a trio in which I have played bass for many years. We gave three concerts for the project and I explored our interactions by talking with the pianist/bandleader and drummer after each concert. They described a broad range of interactions and explored a number of different conceptions of what entails a musical interaction. The musicians were keen to talk about the factors that motivate them to perform together, mainly the desire to play. Play, for them, is its own reward. They a

Evidence of individual decision-making and how the subsequently implemented actions may contribute to long-term material change are largely absent from the archaeological record. Indeed, due to a paucity of clearly associated artefacts, few archaeological studies attempt to explore the role, or even the reality, of how individual decisions and actions may impact macro-scale change. This dissertation addresses this deficiency and examines specific artefacts created within the context of a historical conflict to investigate both the practical implications and theoretical considerations of micro-

Abstract:
Improvisation is an art form which has arguably been present since the existence of music itself. Inventing music on the spot, like spontaneous speech, is a common expression of artistry throughout history and across musical boundaries. While improvisation has maintained its importance in jazz, classical organ music and the music of many eastern cultures, this dissertation will focus on the presence of improvisation as acceptable performance practice within the tradition of western classical music. At several points in history, this musical tradition was encouraged and even expected to be a re

Actors in improvised performance have the difficult task of executing a performance that is convincingly verisimilar to a group of spectators, while simultaneously generating the plot, and the world in which it takes place, called the plot-world.

Abstract:
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a perennial plant managed as an annual crop to optimize yield and fiber quality while managing inputs to maximize profit. Transgenic improvements have simplified cotton production. Resistance to the non-selective herbicide glyphosate and in-plant production of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) endotoxin are two such advances. Cultural practices including use of mepiquat chloride (MC), and optimizing planting date contribute to crop uniformity and decrease risk involved with environmental stresses. Comparisons between conventional and transgenic weed and insect manag

Abstract:
This dissertation reports on two supplemental instruction implementations in courses with high failure rates. In study one, 27 ultra-short on-line tutorials were created for Principles of Accounting II students (N = 426). In study two, 21 tutorials with a similar design were created for Elementary Statistics students (N = 1,411). Accounting students were encouraged by their instructor to use the resource, but statistics students only saw a brief demonstration by the researcher. Neither course gave students credit for using the tutorials. In study one, 71.4% of the accounting students used the

Abstract:
Depuis une décennie, l'exposé improvisé in vivo est utilisé couramment par les chercheurs du domaine de l’anxiété sociale. Toutefois peu d’auteurs se sont penchés sur ses qualités psychométriques. Un premier article évalue donc celles-ci à partir d’un relevé des recherches qui ont employé l’exposé improvisé in vivo. De plus, ce dernier est peu économique pour les cliniciens. Bien que l'imagerie mentale soit une alternative économique aux stimuli in vivo, la littérature ne renferme pas d’exemple de son application aux tests d’approche comportementaux. Conséquemment, une seconde étude compare le
