Advances in Decarboxylative Oxidative Coupling Reaction
Get PDFSince carboxylic acid derivatives are commercially available, nontoxic, cheap, and normally stable to air and moisture, carboxylic acid derivatives are ideal reactants for synthetic strategy. In recent years, decarboxylative oxidative coupling reactions, which normally involve direct C–H bond activation, have attracted more and more interest from the synthetic community. Compared with conventional methods, this strategy is more environmentally friendly and step-economic. This review mainly focuses on recent advances of the decarboxylative oxidative coupling reaction.Natural Science Foundation of China (21572240

Voices in the Pennsylvania Wilderness: An Examination of the Music Manuscripts, Music Theory, Compositions, and (Female) Composers of the Eighteenth-Century Ephrata Cloister
Get PDFSubmitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the Juilliard School.Founded in 1732 by Conrad Beissel, the Ephrata Cloister was a celibate, ascetic, German-speaking, Sabbatarian commune in the wilderness of Pennsylvania. Its residents produced a large corpus of hymns and motets, and also published the third music treatise written in what is today the United States of America. Because Ephrata produced no heirs, its documents were scattered and its traditions were forgotten over the course of the nineteenth century. Although significant strides have been made in recent years to understand Ephrata’s theology, substantial lacunae remain in the study of its music.
This dissertation accomplishes four research tasks associated with Ephrata music. First, it provides a thorough descriptive catalog of all extant available Ephrata music manuscripts. This catalog is the first of its kind in this field, organizing music manuscripts according to their content. Next, the dissertation translates and analyzes the Ephrata music treatise, situating it within the history of music theory. It also examines Ephrata’s unorthodox use of a pedagogical tool for composition known as the règle de l’octave. Third, the study focuses on Ephrata music, discussing its content, style, and practice, proposing that hymns and motets were written in a workshop format, based on a set procedure of group composition. Finally, the dissertation explores the topic of authorship, and demonstrates that Ephrata music manuscripts provide evidence of America’s first female composers

New Visions for Library Liaison Programs: From Collection Development to Engagement
Get PDFThis presentation will discuss the efforts underway at William Paterson University to develop an innovative new vision for our Liaison Program. The growth and expansion of electronic resources and subscription packages, along with shrinking budgets for monograph purchases, requires a re-evaluation of the role of the Library Liaison. A role that is transitioning from a focus on collection development, towards expanding the Library’s campus and community engagement efforts. An open dialogue will be included to allow Liaison Coordinators and Liaisons to discuss their programs and share their experiences.NJLA-CUS/ACRL-NJ Marketing & Outreach Committe
