Abstract:
The critical discourse on Carlos Chávez’s music is full of contradictions regarding the presence within it of signifiers of the Mexican, the pre-Columbian, and the indigenous. Between 1918 and 1928 Chávez in fact developed, from stylistic preferences that appeared early in his compositions, a polysemic language that he could use equally well to address the very modern or the primitive, the pre-Columbian or the contemporary mestizo, in and only in those works in which he chose to do so. Chávez’s referents emerged in dialogue with the cultural and political contexts in which he worked, those of

Antonio Borgese, a Sicilian who ‘fell in love with the English language’, retold the epic story to music by Roger Sessions.How did such an unlikely alliance—a Sicilian poet, an American composer, and Mexican history—come about?

Tracing the black-brown connections in his Alta California art demonstrates an often-overlooked aspect of Wilson’s musical legacy: the fact that he wrote, arranged, recorded, and performed Latin-tinged tunes, especially several brassy homages

This thesis contributes analyses of two works by Mexican composers: Rayo nocturnal (1989) by Victor Rasgado (b. 1959), and the Cuarteto da do (1988) by Juan Trigos (b. 1965). Although composed according to structuralist principles, a postmodern interpretation is offered. The analytical method applied is based on Allen Forte's set theory, including rhythmic and timbral dimensions that are integral to the conceptions of these works. A survey of modernism and postmodernism in twentieth-century Mexico serves to place these works in their cultural context.

Abstract:
In the 1920s, a number of composers prophesied through their writings and their compositions how the music of the twentieth century would sound. Alexander Tcherepnin, Dimitri Shostakovich, George Antheil, and others contributed to the concept that percussion alone could be an instrumental force. This chapter examines in detail works by the French/American composer Edgard Varèse, so-called “father of percussion ensemble music,” including an analysis of his iconic composition for thirteen percussion players, Ionisation. Works by the composers Amadeo Roldán and José Ardévol draw on the Afro-Cuban rhythms of the Caribbean to create a new music, both classical and ethnic. Their compositions, along with those of the Mexican composer Carlos Chávez, served as paradigms for the music that followed.

To help him shape the dance component of the new Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes (INBA), Carlos Chávez invited the leading exponents of Mexico’s opposing camps of modern dancers to assist him, along with an array of painters, composers, and writers. As part of INBA’s charge to create a universal culture attractive to international audiences, and at a time the U.S. was promoting modern dance as part of its WWII propaganda efforts in the Americas, Chávez’s team created a modern-dance focused Academy of Mexican Dance. Chávez would soon appoint polymath artist Miguel Covarrubias to lead INBA’s dance department, ushering in a “golden age” for Mexican modern dance. INBA underwrote lavish productions by internationally recognized choreographer José Limón, it also extended similar support to its novice choreographers who mounted productions with scores by its leading composers and scenic designs by its most famous artists.

It analyzes: (1) the entertainment scene’s repertoire of Manila, Philippines, in the early 1920s; (2) the Latin American repertoire in the career of Russian Jewish singer Isa Kremer, who ended up in Argentina in the 1930s; (3) the copyright strategy of Sociedad Argentina de Autores, Intérpretes y Compositores de Música (SADAIC), the Argentine society for composers of tango and other popular styles, in the late 1920s; and (4) the Mexican broadcasting system XEW, the very first commercial attempt to build a Latin American musical platform. In every case, local, national, and transational dimensions of musical practice are approached in terms of music genres, market structures, and musical ideologies.

This chapter focuses on the Hollywood Bowl, summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and one of the first institutions to support cultural diversity even before that term entered the popular lexicon. The Hollywood Bowl has had a long-running practice of sharing its prestigious stage with Latino artists working in a wide variety of musical genres, from classical to mariachi, romantic boleros to hard-driving salsa and Latin jazz. In 2009, there was much ado about the arrival of Gustavo Dudamel as the philharmonic's latest musical director. However, many of those cheering the move may not have been aware that more than half a century earlier, two Mexican classical composers and conductors—Eduardo Vigil and Carlos Chávez—had taken up the baton as guests of the Philharmonic, performing on separate occasions at the Hollywood Bowl during its first two decades.

This chapter presents the results of a case study conducted in 2016-17 at the National School of Higher Studies in Morelia (ENES-M), Michoacán, Mexico, where a pilot programme was implemented at bachelor’s level for students learning English as a foreign language. The platform used in this study was composed of small digital units called Learning Support Units (UAPAs) first developed in 2011 to help students practice and develop their linguistic skills at two levels, basic and pre-intermediate. These selected UAPAs were hosted in a portal named Ambiente Virtual de Idiomas (AVI) (Language Virtual Environment) administrated by the Coordination of Open University and Distance Education (CUAED). Later, in 2015, it was proposed that a more complex and complete platform be designed and in 2016 the new UAPAs for levels A1, A2, B1 and some of B2 were developed and then piloted for further evaluation. As a result, the experimental groups exposed to a blended teaching reported higher scores in the post test than control groups that were taught with no use of technological elements, hence proving that blended-learning teaching is a good pedagogical option for university students.

In Central Mexico converge three biogeographic provinces: Altiplano sur, Sierra Madre Occidental and Costa del Pacífico. Each one of them is composed by different plant communities: Thorn Forest, Temperate Mountain Forest and Dry Tropical Forest respectively. Our objective is to show, through phytoecological analysis, the species richness, diversity and the structure of the plant communities from the Temperate Mountain Forest and from the Tropical Dry Forest. In the Temperate Mountain Forest, 50 forest species were recorded, with a Shannon Wiener diversity index H´ = 1.63 on altitudes from 2400 to 2600 m. The Whittaker β index is Bw = 7.22. In the tropical dry forest, we identified 79 plants species with a mean diversity index H´ = 3.49 on altitudes from 1951 to 2100 m. In this ecosystem the Bw index is 8.12. This study offers important information for the establishment of management practices, considering the protection status from the areas in which this vegetation type is distributed.

Abstract:
The northwestern portion of the Mexican territory has a semiarid climate with scarce rains and no reliable water supply sources. The cities of Tijuana, Tecate and Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico, are located within this zone and depend on the Ri´o Colorado–Tijuana Aqueduct to fulfill approximately 90% of its water demand. This large hydraulic facility is 147 km long and elevates 4.0 m3/s of water at a height of 1,060 m. It is composed of 6 pumping stations with a total installed motor capacity of 79,500 hp. At this time the capacity of the aqueduct is being increased to 5.33 m3/s by means of

Abstract:
Solar drying is one of the most vastly used technologies in rural areas, especially in developing countries, allowing for self provision and commercialization of products with an added value. Among the technical problems encountered, is the control of the operating conditions, due mainly to the intermittency of solar radiation which in turn produces a non homogeneous treatment of the product making it necessary to control both temperature and air velocity. Considering these facts, the design of a dryer for the treatment of grains is proposed, with the intention of obtaining control on the kine

Abstract:
Shopping malls require large amount of electrical and thermal energy to provide quality services and maintain customer’s comfort. Conventionally, electrical energy for direct use and operation of HVAC systems is supplied directly from the electrical grid and is produced in remote power plants that burns fossil fuels. Thermal energy for hot water or heating supply is usually produced by boilers that use LP gas or fuel oil. Given these conditions, cogeneration and trigeneration systems supported by renewable sources of energy are ideal schemes to meet energy needing in a more efficient and cost-

This paper presents the grasping analysis of a bio-inspired UAV/MAV perching mechanism designed at New Mexico State University. The mechanism is composed of a cable-driven leg mechanism and two cable-driven underactuated three-digit feet. The mechanical design was based on the analysis of the anatomy of bird legs and feet. In this paper, the grasping stable condition of the mechanical foot is studied through a quasi-static analysis, which models the relationship between the actuated forces of a digit and the contact forces on each phalanx. Using this model, we can understand the foot’s stable
