No full textRe-voicing Rameau: Borrowing practices in Tom Armstrong’ JPR
No full textJPR is created entirely from a collage of borrowed materials; all the pitches are Rameau’s and occur in exactly the same metrical positions and within the same formal designs as in the source pieces. Whilst the kind of dialogic double voicing often attributed to the use of borrowed materials occurs in JPR (Ap Siôn, 2014) the author’s intervention starts and remains within Rameau’s material (via an informal filtering process) so the kind of authorial juxtapositions often found in musical borrowing are absent. In a similar way to Kagel’s ‘compass rose’ pieces (Heile, 2004) authorship here resides mainly in the combination of pre-existing elements; in JPR movements from different suites are superimposed according to loosely coordinated time structures, but the pre-existing elements are latent in Rameau’s originals without the synthetic quality of Kagel's.
The paper will attempt to locate JPR in the lineage of musical borrowing practices and expose its unique features. The performance will uncover connections between the source material and Armstrong’s work allowing the audience members to make informed contributions to the discussion. The performers’ contributions will provide the missing link in the production-reception chain and help to open up the discussion, for example their memories (mental and embodied) of the originals inform their experience of JPR significantly.</p
Study of the energy absorption capability of sandwich structures with foam core and CFRP face sheets
No full textStatistical limitations in proton imaging
No full textProton imaging is a promising technology for proton radiotherapy
as it can be used for: 1) direct sampling of the tissue stopping power, 2) input
information for multi-modality RSP reconstruction, 3) gold-standard calibration
against concurrent techniques, 4) tracking motion and 5) pre-treatment positioning.
However, no end-to-end characterization of the image quality (signal-to-noise ratio
and spatial resolution, blurring uncertainty) against the dose has been done. This
work aims to establish a model relating these characteristics and to describe their
relationship with proton energy and object size. The imaging noise originates
from two processes: the Coulomb scattering with the nucleus, producing a path
deviation, and the energy loss straggling with electrons. The noise is found to
increases with thickness crossed and, independently, decreases with decreasing
energy. The scattering noise is dominant around high-gradient edge whereas
the straggling noise is maximal in homogeneous regions. Image quality metrics
are found to behave oppositely against energy: lower energy minimizes both the
noise and the spatial resolution, with the optimal energy choice depending on
the application and location in the imaged object. In conclusion, the model
presented will help define an optimal usage of proton imaging to reach the promised
application of this technology and establish a fair comparison with other imagin
