Abstract:

The National String Project Consortium was designed to encourage string education majors to become string teachers and to stimulate growth of new school orchestra programs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent to which these goals were accomplished across 13 university sites in 2003-2004. Survey data were obtained from project directors, master teachers, student teachers, children, and parents (N = 1,458). Results indicated the majority of student teachers were music education majors who received professional and financial benefit from participation, and were engaged in authentic string teaching in productive and rewarding settings. Children studied string instruments under satisfying and affordable conditions. The String Project seems to have filled a void where school strings programs do not exist, or functioned to supplement strings instruction available in the schools.

Abstract:

‘Project’ is something of a misnomer for the complicated string teaching organisation which now involves some thousand young string players, twenty ILEA schools in and around the Tower Hamlets area, and 35 qualified string teachers, mostly on a part-time basis. At no time in the early days was any such structure projected: it has grown up as a result of experience and considerable generosity on the part of the ILEA in allowing scope for experimentation and expansion.

Abstract:

The purpose of this descriptive case study was to examine two music education students’ experiences as String Project teachers (SPTs). Research questions were as follows: What connections were made between coursework and the authentic-context learning (ACL) experience? and What was the impact of ACL experiences on music teacher identity? Data were an open-ended questionnaire, journal entries, observations, videotaped teaching segments, and two semistructured interviews. These SPTs used terms and concepts explored in coursework in their goal-setting for themselves and their students, and also referenced concepts while reflecting on their teaching. The SPTs developed their music teacher identities as they learned in a supportive community, and they made connections between personal, musician, and teacher identities. Through ACL experience situated within a supportive String Project community, ideas initially explored during coursework became internalized as part of the SPTs’ thinking, practices, philosophies, and identities.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine collaborative composing in high school string chamber music ensembles. Research questions included the following: (a) How do high school string instrumentalists in chamber music ensembles use verbal and musical forms of communication to collaboratively compose a piece of music? (b) How do selected variables (music performance and composing experience, quality of group collaboration, gender grouping, perceptions of the project) influence the process of composing collaboratively in a high school chamber music ensemble? and (c) What variables influence the quality of the resulting collaborative composition? High school string instrumentalists ( N = 37) formed eight chamber music ensembles. Participants completed a presurvey regarding music performance and composing experiences, were videotaped while composing chamber music compositions, and completed a postsurvey regarding their project experiences. All groups spent a larger percentage of time engaged in task-directed musical communication than in verbal communication. Balance of collaboration had a strong relationship with composition quality. Mixed-gender groups had a stronger balance of collaboration than same-gender groups. Postsurvey data indicated that enjoyment of the project was found to have a strong relationship with composition quality.

Abstract:

Although there are many examples of notable string programmes there has been relatively little comparative analysis of these programmes. This paper examines three benchmark string programmes (The University of Illinois String Project, The Tower Hamlets String Teaching Project and Colourstrings) alongside Music4All, an innovative string programme run over three years in five primary schools in regional Australia. The paper discusses difficulties encountered in the Australian experience and gives recommendations for future programmes including allowing adequate time and resources for the planning phase and the importance of ongoing professional development for staff.

Abstract:

This yearlong qualitative study is an examination of 10 undergraduate preservice teachers' lesson planning for the classes and/or individual lessons they taught in a university string project. Data analysis revealed that these preservice teachers held differing views of lesson planning from each other and from their supervisor. Five themes emerged: (a) concerns about knowing how to begin to plan, (b) difficulty identifying what the children needed to learn, (c) the prominence of decisions made on the fly, (d) comparisons of thinking about teaching and planning with actual written plans, and (e) limited transfer of in-class experiences to teaching in the project. Suggestions for teacher educators include acknowledging the complex nonlinear relationship between planning skills, teaching experience, and professional knowledge; structuring guided experiences with a variety of lesson planning formats (e.g., written, mental, verbal); and maximizing opportunities for preservice teachers to reflect on connections between their experiences as students and as teachers.

Abstract:

<p>A Machine vision for string detection is useful technologies which benefit to the industries such as food production. It reduces the risk that can harmful to our health and it can do work more accurate and efficient. The algorithm used is a colour detection which determines the colour of string and background subtraction for filter process by using the threshold range values. The target of detection focuses on plastic string with two different colours; pink and yellow strings. The threshold values used in hardware detection are ranged from 158 to 175 and 3 to 35 for pink and yellow string colours, respectively. The result shows that an object tied with strings is able to be detected and captured by using this system. Overall, this project is successfully developed and achieved the goal for real time detecting a string which is implemented on FPGA.</p>

Abstract:

During this Project, we study string similarity search based on edit distance that is supported by many database management systems like Oracle and PostgreSQL. Given the edit distance, ed(s, t), between two strings, s and t, the string similarity search is to search out each string t in a string database D which is almost like a query string s such that ed(s, t) = t for a given threshold t. Within the literature, most existing work takes a filter-and-verify approach, where the filter step is introduced to reduce the high verification cost of 2 strings by utilizing an index engineered offline for D. The two up-to-date approaches are prefix filtering and native filtering. We have a tendency to propose 2 new hash- primarily based labeling techniques, named OX label and XX label, for string similarity search. We have a tendency to assign a hash-label, H s , to a string s, and prune the dissimilar strings by comparing 2 hash-labels, H s and H t , for two strings s and t within the filter step. The key idea is to take the dissimilar bit- patterns between 2 hash-labels.Our hash-based mostly approaches achieve high efficiency, and keep its index size and index construction time one order of magnitude smaller than the present approaches in our experiment at the same time.

In 1983, I began a one-year position as a regional scholar-in-residence for the Tennessee Community Heritage Project (TCHP), a state-wide project of the Tennessee Humanities Council (TCH, now Humanities Tennessee, Inc.), working with communities in diverse areas in 19 counties in eastern Tennessee. That pilot year turned into three, and then into a long string of THC grant-funded consultations and community heritage projects, as I began my Ph.D. studies. The first TCH grant project director I worked with was Linda Caldwell, my co-author. Linda is a founder and executive director for a non-profit heritage tourism consortium, which now plans and implements cultural, arts, and heritage grants and public programming.

‘Simulation of Civil Engineering’ is a ‘3+1’ special courses for the department of civil engineering, The students have difficulty in this study because of many related courses and lacking of time. The CDIO-based engineering education model uses the innovation practice base of construction as a platform, through the study of specific actual project and the organization of students’ teams in-depth study in their spare time. On the one hand, this project can string related courses together and sum up knowledge, on the other hand, this project can integrate teacher research projects, student research scheme, the course of simulation of civil engineering and graduation papers (design), to achieve the effect of multiple purposes.

Abstract:

This article is about one focus of a two-year project researching the Penrith (NSW Australia) Youth Music Program offered at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre. The Penrith Youth Music Program has been designed to encourage young string players through a program of guided rehearsals and tutorials with mentoring by performers from the Australian Chamber Orchestra. This article focuses on a part of the research that has engaged the young string players in reflection on their own progress. Eight young string players are the focus here, drawn from the whole study that encompasses 27 instrumentalists. In focus groups they were asked at intervals (at the end of each session of three ensemble rehearsals, spaced approximately 6 weeks apart) about their learning and about their practice strategies. This article presents the voices of the eight instrumentalists as they talk about technical issues, ensemble cuing, issues of balance and dynamic control. It also provides data that benefits in performance were achieved without an increase in the reported time given to practice but rather through thoughtful attention by the instrumentalists to their practice and to the proximity of the expert mentors as role models.

Abstract:

The modal analysis is performed on the single beam string structure in a practical project in this paper. Then the response history analyses, under the four different earthquake-induced ground motions in the single direction, are implemented on the structure. The analysis results indicate that it is very necessary to install out-of-plane bracings for the single beam string structure. In the design of similar structures, the section dimensions of the struts can be appropriately reduced due to the average stresses of the struts being smaller, and cross beams near the middle of structures are be given attention. And the analysis results provide a reference for the seismic analysis and design of similar structures.

Abstract:

In response to a college call for new interdisciplinary coursework in the Natural and Health Sciences, an undergraduate level course was created with focus on the physics and biophysics of sound. The physics of sound production in musical instruments is used as a model for understanding vocal production and sound reception, with emphasis on relevant issues of vocal and hearing health promotion. This project-based course, titled “Musical Acoustics and Health Issues,” was designed in collaboration with faculty from Audiology, Speech Science, Public Health, Music, Physics, Music Technology, and Science Education. Student performance is assessed through a series of eight hands-on projects designed to maximize active learning strategies. Course projects center on the concept of “sound as energy” and include the construction of string-based (cigar box guitar) and tube-based (PVC pipe didgeridoo) instruments. Course design, project details, and course outcomes are presented.

Abstract:

The dynamic response of the casing string under the mud line is concerned by engineer when deepwater drilling operating. Considering with the nonlinear characteristics of seabed soil, a dynamic differential equation of the casing string below mud line was established. Then the Newmark method was adapted to solving this equation by time step. Results illustrate that, the deformation and internal force of the casing string in low frequency region have little difference with the static situation. The amplitude of the string displacement increases gradually at the natural frequency. And the hysteretic phenomenon more and more obviously at this point also. In general, there are almost no influences to the dynamic lateral bearing of the casing string when not considering the wellhead vertical force. Use a static method to analyses the wellhead stability and the string bearing capacity can meet the project requirement. The dynamic analysis of casing string coupled with the marine riser is very necessary to future work.

Abstract:

Line 2 of the Guanjingkou Pipe Jacking Project in Chongqing encountered a pipe sticking problem, whose occurrence was inevitably attributed to the higher total frictional resistance of pipe strings rather than the maximum jacking force. Line 1, which is about to start construction, has basically the same construction environment as Line 2 using the same microshield and pipe string sizes. To avoid repeating the pipe sticking problem of Line 2, the mutual friction characteristics between the surrounding rocks and jacked pipe strings are studied for Line 1 by adopting the same test method under seven complex contact conditions (the presence or various combinations of three substances, i.e., extrapipe string field debris, bentonite slurry, and sand-laden waste slurry, on the jacked pipe string-surrounding rock contact surface are mainly considered). The results show that sufficient bentonite slurry can effectively reduce the frictional resistance, and when the amount of bentonite is insufficient, the average friction coefficient (AFC) of the later contact surface increases by 50%∼70%. The comparison of the monitored versus predicted jacking forces indicates that the value predicted by the test is slightly higher than the monitored force and the variation trends of the two match well, thus proving the correctness of the test results. It is possible to continue predicting the variation trends of the jacking force and frictional resistance based on the contact situation outside the pipe string wall, which greatly lowers the probability of re-encountering pipe sticking. The test results not only explain the important role of bentonite slurry in reducing the pipe string wall frictional resistance but also suggest that an increase in the pipe string wall frictional resistance resulting from the complex contact inflow into the overexcavation gap is the root cause of pipe sticking; moreover, the number of jacked pipe strings matching a single IJS is the second cause of pipe string sticking. The methodology of this study can provide a reference for other studies concerning the jacking force of long-distance rock microshield tunnelling.

The large-span space beam string-structure system is a kind of economic and larger spanning spatial structure system. A new type of space beam-string-structure with outer truss torus is introduced. Sunflower-patterned space beam-string-structure was taken as an example and its dynamic characteristics under full-span load and half-span load were analyzed by block Lanczos method. The efect of prestress level and load level on dynamic behavior of the structure was studied. The results are valuable for the dynamic response research on the earthquakes and wind vibration and will provide a reference for a further design and project application of such structure.

Abstract:

By way of its uniquely concurrent practice + academic learning model, the Boston Architectural College (BAC) has begun a thriving tradition of community engagement through design. This paper uncovers how design/build formats -cast as a service-learning projects - have the potential to foster profound student learning opportunities, improve the urban environment through design engagement and community action, and inform architectural accreditation. Though exceptionally rewarding, the design/build model is not without challenges. The authors utilize their unique perspectives as design educators and community members to deliver both a narrative account and critical analysis for a case study of one such learning model. The Frederick Douglas Peace Park project, conducted in 2008 as part of the authors’ Urban Design Build (UDB) format is an example of a grassroots initiative met with the support of an institution of design education. The project revitalizes a neglected neighborhood by activating forgotten space - rebuilding a sense of community and creating a place of memorial for a much-revered American Civil Rights Activist. Emanating from Grichting’s neighborhood peace park, Sturgeon’s UDB project extended grassroots momentum to community event programming and served as a catalyst for additional reclamation projects: a string of public spaces and the rehabilitation of a community center once on the verge of being torn down and privatized.

In 2014, cellist Elinor Frey began commissioning new music for the five-string Baroque cello as a way to contribute to and expand the repertoire for the instrument. Her project grew to three new works for five-string cello, two works for the four-string cello, and one for cello and harpsichord. This article documents Frey’s close collaborations with six composers—Scott Godin, Isaiah Ceccarelli, Linda Catlin Smith, Maxime McKinley, Ken Ueno, and Lisa Streich—and reflects upon the ways in which her approaches to style and performance practice played a role in interpreting the new works. Frey also explores how she drew inspiration from Baroque stylistic qualities such as concealment and illusion.

Abstract:

Mentoring in music education programs is such a ubiquitous part of the process; it is sometimes overlooked or subsumed under other categories. The purpose of this article is to highlight mentoring relationships within an undergraduate music teacher education program. Formal, informal, vertical, and horizontal mentoring are examined from the perspectives of undergraduate preservice music teachers working in a community-university partnership. The data are culled from a 14 month, intrinsic case study of the University of South Carolina String Project, designed to examine the participant experience for all member groups within the string project—the undergraduate preservice teachers, the community students, and the faculty. Mentoring relationships are explored as a critical component of experience for the preservice teachers. Their voices are presented here to illustrate the value they placed on mentoring, as well as the challenges that emerged in construction of a mentoring mosaic as part of their preservice teaching experience.

Full text

Abstract:

The paper provides an account of an innovative collaborative work between composer/violinist Elo Masing, choreographer/dancer Jean Lee, and the Kreutzer String Quartet. The project challenges the conventions of music and dance collaboration by proposing a fundamentally new way of working across disciplines, establishing a profound interrelation between movement and sound production.The work so far has mostly involved developing a new notation system for string instruments and dancer suitable for recording the sounds and movements the work in progress will primarily be based on. The paper will, at this stage, demonstrate only a fraction of the various possibilities of this new way of musician–dancer collaboration that is estimated to span over the next couple of years. The idea for the piece dates back to June 2010, when a structured improvisation was created in collaboration between Elo Masing and Jean Lee, commissioned for a conference at Roehampton University.The innovative aspect of the project is manifested in the development of choreography and music together from the very beginning, using new sound and movement languages discovered in interdisciplinary improvisation sessions. In the center of the collaboration lies the definition of the roles of the musician and the dancer as equal, with equally complex compositional material and interchanging ideas. That means composing music and dance simultaneously and letting them influence each other.The new notation system for string instruments focuses on the movements of string players, thus creating a possibility for relating music to dance in a more tangible and visual rather than conceptual and abstract way.

Abstract:

AbstractIn 1972, the Whitney Museum of American Art commissioned new musical settings of poems by Frank O'Hara for a concert honoring the late poet. Among pieces by Virgil Thomson and Ned Rorem, the program featured a new work by Charles Mingus: his String Quartet No. 1. Mingus's piece was performed only once, at that concert, and was never recorded. It survives only in manuscript form.String Quartet No. 1 thwarts nearly all expectations of a piece by Mingus. Scored for strings and voice, the work's modernist approach to rhythm and pitch is unprecedented for the composer. Mingus chafed at being categorized as a “jazz” composer, and String Quartet No. 1's style is both a bid for and an undermining of the prestige of the high art world. Faced with primitivist discourses that characterized jazz musicians as unschooled and nonverbal, Mingus deployed poetry as a mode of resistance. He worked with poetic texts throughout his life, often writing the poetry himself. Mingus's sensitive setting of O'Hara's text in String Quartet No. 1 points to the centrality of poetry to Mingus's artistic and political project, and suggests that the piece's anomalous style can be partially understood as his response to O'Hara's text.

Abstract:

Synthesis using physical modeling has a long history. As computational costs for physical modeling synthesis are often much greater than for conventional synthesis methods, most techniques currently rely on simplifying assumptions. These include digital waveguides, as well as modal synthesis methods. Although such methods are efficient, it can be difficult to approach some of the more detailed behavior of musical instruments in this way, including strongly nonlinear interactions. Mainstream time-stepping simulation methods, despite being computationally costly, allow for such detailed modeling. In this article, the results of a five-year research project, Next Generation Sound Synthesis, are presented, with regard to algorithm design for a variety of sound-producing systems, including brass and bowed-string instruments, guitars, and large-scale environments for physical modeling synthesis. In addition, 3-D wave-based modeling of large acoustic spaces is discussed, as well as the embedding of percussion instruments within such spaces for full spatialization. This article concludes with a discussion of some of the basics of such time-stepping methods, as well as their application in audio synthesis.

In 1984, a project exploring the feasibility of teaching string vibrato technique through a computer-driven interactive video PLATO-based system was undertaken at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. This paper looks at the design of the system and at the scope and sequence of information that would be presented within the program. It also formulates the hypothesis that audio records within the program can be matched with real-time audio responses from the system user, thereby paving the way for remedial work within the program.

Abstract:

The maintenance and updating of Statistics Austria's business register requires a regularly matching of the register against other data sources; one of them is the register of tax units of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance. The matching process is based on string comparison via bigrams of enterprise names and addresses, and a quality class approach assigning pairs of register units into classes of different compliance (i.e., matching quality) based on bigram similarity values and the comparison of other matching variables, like the NACE code or the year of foundation.Based on methodological research concerning matching techniques carried out in the DIECOFIS project, an empirical comparison of the bigram method and other string matching techniques was conducted: the edit distance, the Jaro algorithm and the Jaro-Winkler algorithm, the longest common subsequence and the maximal match were selected as appropriate alternatives and evaluated in the study.This paper briey introduces Statistics Austria's business register and the corresponding maintenance process and reports on the results of the empirical study.

Abstract:

The investigation described in this report documents the types of behavior that take place in the studios of nationally and/or regionally acclaimed string teachers whose instruction is based on the principles of Shinichi Suzuki. The specific focus of the investigation was the time allocated to different aspects of teacher, student, and parent behavior as teachers and students worked to improve students' playing of repertoire in the context of individual lessons. The study also examined the relationships among various student characteristics and the lesson behavior observed. Each of 29 string teachers was observed teaching two or three different students across three consecutive lessons—a total of 246 lessons. A unique aspect of the investigation was the enlistment of 13 expert string pedagogues who were trained to evaluate videotaped instruction using systematic observation procedures designed specifically for this project. The observation procedures were designed to address specific research questions that had been identified at the International Suzuki Institute Research Symposium (Aber, 1990).

Abstract:

The purpose of spaceborne three orthotropic thin-wall tubular antenna is for space science probe which consists of three orthotropic tubular antennas. Three orthotropic thin-wall tubular antennas deployment mechanism is designed which consists of upper plate, lower plate, reel, burn-wire and tension spring. Flattened antenna tube can be wound in a reel which can be hold-down and locked by Dyneema string. Release by giving current to resistor, the string will melt while its temperature reaches its burning point, then the upper plate will be pulled up and the antennas can be deployed by stored strain energy in itself. According to a certain project requirements three orthotropic thinwall tubular antennas mechanism prototype was developed and tested, antenna tube was broken due to “blossom” phenomenon in deployment process. For avoiding “blossom” during deployment of antennas mechanism, the flange of reel is improved, so antennas can be deployed smoothly. Compared to motor-driven antenna mechanism, this antennas deployment mechanism has advantages of simple structure, lower mass and lower power consumption.

The liner hanger system of 13-3/8″x18-5/8″ typical size was applied for the first time in the deep well drilling in Azerbaijan offshore fields. To solve this task was not simple, as the necessary technical parameters for the hanger system did not correspond to the project data of casing string, on which the installation of hanger was required. Baker Hughes Company proposed a technical solution, which allowed running, installing and cementing this system without any complications. The installation of liner hanger system enabled to efficiently seal reviewed scheme and exclude any possibility of borehole pressure, leakages in the joining point of ran casing string, which took place in previous wells and provide necessary well integrity as well.

In 1963 Duchamp described his vertical installation of three Readymades at the Pasadena Art Museum as “readymade talk of what goes on in the Large Glass.” Elsewhere, he spoke of the Readymades as “vehicles for unloading ideas,” and during the years 1912-15 his mind was filled with ideas as he invented the “playful physics” for his techno-scientific allegory of quest, The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even [The Large Glass] (1915-23). This essay argues that the “ideas” being unloaded in the Readymades were rooted in his extensive study of contemporary science and technology as well as the biographical experience of his stay at Herne Bay on the English seacoast during August 1913. Readymades addressed include the Bicycle Wheel, With Hidden Noise, Paris Air, and Fresh Widow. Central themes include string or thread, traced from his preoccupation with tennis during his holiday, and the impact of the electrical spectacle of the illuminated Pier Pavilion at Herne Bay.

Abstract:

In McMurray Formation, steam assisted gravity drainage is used as the primary in-situ recovery technique to recover oil sands. Different geological reservoir settings and long horizontal wells impose limitations and operational challenges on the implementation of steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). The dual-string tubing system is the conventional completion scheme in SAGD. In complex reservoirs where dual-string completion cannot improve the operation performance, operators have adopted flow control devices (FCDs) to improve project economics. FCDs secure more injection/production points along the horizontal sections of the SAGD well pairs, hence, they maximize ultimate bitumen recovery and minimize cumulative steam-oil ratio (cSOR). This paper will focus on the optimization of outflow control devices (OCDs) in SAGD reservoirs with horizontal wellbore undulations. We present the detailed optimization workflow and show the optimization results for various scenarios with well pair trajectory undulation. Comparing the results of the optimized OCDs case with a dual-string case of the same SAGD model shows improvements in steam distribution, steam chamber growth, bitumen production, and net present value (NPV).

Abstract:

The last decade of advances in Image-Based Modeling (IBM) data acquisition based on Structure from Motion (SfM) have made it possible as never before to record excavated archaeological deposits, historical architectural remains, artifacts, and geographical surroundings in the field. Armed only with digital cameras and low-cost or open-source software, researchers can now produce accurate point clouds of millions of points, capturing archaeological information in high-resolution detail. But what changes will IBM really bring to the standards, requirements, and expectations of practical field methodology for projects operating on shoe-string budgets? Since 2010, the Via Consolare Project, a small archaeological research project from a State level University, has employed an entirely open-source and “free for academic use” IBM pipeline to record a variety of archaeological features in Insula VII 6 and the “Villa delle Colonne a mosaico” in Pompeii. Ranging from surviving architecture, to rubble fill layers, to the interiors of inaccessible cisterns and drains, this work has been carried out in preparation for the eventual coordination of these data into a 3D GIS of all recorded stratigraphy. Rarely were sufficient resources available for dedicated equipment or personnel to be devoted to this task. While practical implementation, even in a low-budget excavation environment, has confirmed that this technology can indeed augment archaeological field documentation and provide investigation opportunities that would otherwise be impossible, it failed to replace traditional handdrafted recording techniques and was found to present significant challenges and a number of hidden costs. This emphasizes a need for appropriate and cautious planning in implementation, especially in projects with limited means.

Abstract:

Although it has long been known that Beethoven began composing a piano trio in F minor in 1816, scholarly examination of the extant sources for this unfinished project has only recently progressed beyond Nottebohm's brief remarks in the 1880s. The present article reveals the existence of numerous new sources evidently unknown to Nottebohm, including a leaf which forms the continuation of the draft score (Concept) of the first movement, the principal source for the trio. (Transcriptions of this score, including the new continuation, and of a newly identified draft which preceded it, accompany the article.) The trio project is contextualized in relation to other compositions, in particular the String Quartet in F minor, op. 95, the ‘Archduke’ Trio and the Piano Sonata in A, op. 101, and an attempt is made to understand the failure of the trio project in relation to Beethoven's limited compositional activity at this much-discussed point in his career.

Abstract. It is well known that the influence of the internal and external drilling fluid on the lateral vibration characteristics of drillstring cannot be ignored. In this paper, experiment apparatus for simulating drillstring vibration was established. Hammering method is used to measure drillstring lateral natural vibration frequency when the internal and external drilling fluid is considered. The test results show that the drilling fluid can decrease the natural frequency of the drillstring. Based on the simulation model, considering the influence of the internal and external drilling fluid, an external drilling fluid additional mass coefficient is derived considering the dynamic pressure effect caused by external drilling fluid. Additional mass coefficient can get the result with high precision, which can meet the needs of the project. the simulation results are in good agreement with the test results, and the error is within 2 %. This work provides a useful attempt and lays the foundation for the dynamics of the drill string in the drilling fluid environment.

Abstract:

This case describes an example of a collective making process in the field of performing arts. In 2009, multiple string quartets (many considered world class) organized to perform a new musical composition by Sir John Tavener. The composition challenged four quartets at a time to perform as an integrated ensemble while sitting apart, in various configurations, and at spatial distances up to 70 feet. The process unfolded in three phases: pre-rehearsals of the first group of quartets in the United Kingdom (UK), a series of rehearsals leading to one premiere performance by the second group of quartets in New York, and a series of rehearsals integrated with additional performances in four distinct venues in the UK. Mid-way through the process, the musicians chose to integrate a simple coordinating technology into their process, to address the difficulties produced by distance. This telling of the case story describes what the musicians did to achieve these unprecedented performances, given the unusual circumstances, emphasizing how they made decisions and evaluated their work along the way. The case is based on comprehensive fieldwork, including observation, interviews, spatial measurement and diagramming, questionnaires, and analysis of videotape of the rehearsal process.

Abstract:

In a project that will be completed in 2007, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies has been commissioned by the Naxos recording company to write ten string quartets. Large-scale ambitions already realized, the intimacy of chamber music offers an opportunity not only to consolidate but also to probe and quest with the precision of scaled-down forces. It is timely, then, to be reminded that, although it has not been a major preoccupation such as opera, concerto and symphony writing, the quartet form has drawn from him some significant examples evincing an original approach. A recent Metier release usefully gathers together on one disc all Max's works for string quartet prior to the Naxos series. In these persuasive recordings, the members of the Kreutzer Quartet display a keen understanding of the individual character of each piece, the circumstances of its creation and the purpose for which it was intended.

Abstract:

This paper provides an overview of application building in the course environment illustrated with samples of student work. User applications (apps) built as extensions of multiphysics models have been integrated into traditional face-to-face and hybrid engineering courses. Apps were first included in a multidisciplinary modeling graduate course that emphasizes an end-of-semester research project. At the undergraduate level, apps were added into a two-course mechanical engineering thermo-fluids sequence. Initially, apps were used as an effective demonstration tool both in the classroom and in an on-line environment. Subsequently, application building has been embedded into a string of simulation projects featuring prominently in the performance assessment. As a result, students have become more demonstrably engaged and are devoting substantial time outside the classroom to understand theoretical concepts. Feedback from graduates indicates that familiarity with simulation work-flow and application building are effective skillsets in seeking an entry-level industry position.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper describes the design, construction and operation of a small-scale drilling rig for the purpose of investigation of the effect of axial excitation on the drilling process. The rig is bench top in size and has been designed to drill small rock samples, whilst at the same allowing axial excitation to be induced into the drilling process. The rig has been designed to drill the rock without any drilling fluids – so allowing improved observation of the chip generation process. Additionally, the drilling weight on bit is applied via masses, so allowing greater representation of the dynamic behavior of the drilling process – i.e. capturing more natural frequencies. The results from the rig have been obtained over two frequency ranges – low frequency (0-50 Hz) and high frequency (50-250 Hz). Results show that improved rate of penetration is obtained with axial excitation – with low and high frequency optima occurring. These optima can be related to the behavior of the string in the two frequency ranges – in the low frequency range, the entire string acts in unison; whereas at high frequency, only the bit/rock system is active. As a result, it is concluded that for low frequency operation, only information about the drill string is required to optimize performance; whereas for high frequency operation, information about the bit/rock system is required to optimize performance. Observation of the chip generation process via high speed video has shown that during axial excitation, regular shaped bricks are ejected when compared with the typical wedge- shaped chips that are normally ejected during the drilling process. It is concluded that, during the axial excitation process, the chips are being ejected via a levering action, so allowing a more efficient and quicker process. MIT [1] provided background classes, project guidance and project review as part of an NOV/MIT advanced technology program. Larger scale lab tests and/or field tests are required to verify/validate these conclusions.

Abstract:

We describe a new code to search for signatures of cosmic strings in cosmic microwave anisotropy maps. The code implements the Canny algorithm, an edge detection algorithm designed to search for the lines of large gradients in maps. Such a gradient signature which is coherent in position-space is produced by cosmic strings via the Kaiser–Stebbins effect. We test the power of our new code to set limits on the tension of the cosmic strings by analyzing simulated data, with and without cosmic strings. We compare maps with a pure Gaussian scale-invariant power spectrum with maps which have a contribution of a distribution of cosmic strings obeying a scaling solution. The maps have angular scale and angular resolution comparable to what current and future ground-based small-scale cosmic microwave anisotropy experiments will achieve. We present tests of the codes, indicate the limits on the string tension which could be set with the current code, and describe various ways to refine the analysis. Our results indicate that when applied to the data of ongoing cosmic microwave experiments such as the South Pole Telescope project, the sensitivity of our method to the presence of cosmic strings will be more than an order of magnitude better than the limits from existing analyses.

Abstract:

This article presents the findings of a study that explored the composition of Canadian educational music. Particularly, the authors focus on the analyses of composers’ scores on creating new string compositions for young musicians within the New Sounds of Learning Project. On a macro level, the composers predominantly composed multiple movements (three to four), using single section (A), binary (AB), ternary, or variation forms (A, A’, A”, A”’, etc.), and they adopted simple meters throughout. At the micro-level, the majority of the compositions also included a technical element that was used to further skill development, that is, lack of meter to focus attention, syncopation to develop rhythmic fluency, interactive rhythms between parts to promote player coordination, modular structure to address varied skill levels, or free rhythm to promote imaginative thinking. The findings will be of interest to those members of the music profession who promote or would like to promote the dissemination of new music for strings within educational settings in Canadian music classrooms.
