The story of the Soni Ventorum Wind Quintet
No full textThesis (D. Mus. Arts)--University of Washington, 2000The Soni Ventorum Wind Quintet has been the wind quintet-in-residence at the University of Washington School of Music since 1968. Officially founded in 1962, when its members were on the faculty of the Conservatory of Music of Puerto Rico, the group has had a long and stable history. Through their concerts, tours, and recordings, the Soni Ventorum Wind Quintet has established an international reputation. Over the years, many distinguished composers have written works especially for the Soni Ventorum, thus expanding the repertoire of the wind quintet.This study traces the history of the Soni Ventorum Wind Quintet mainly through interviews with the quintet members themselves. This history includes antecedent quintets in which members of the Soni Ventorum Wind Quintet participated (namely, a student quintet at the Curtis Institute, The American Wind Ensemble of Vienna, and the U.S. Seventh Army Symphony Wind Quintet). It covers the founding of the Soni Ventorum Wind Quintet in 1962 at the Conservatory of Music in Puerto Rico through their tenure from 1968 through the present as the wind quintet-in-residence at the University of Washington in Seattle. It gives an account of the establishment of the Soni Ventorum's recording career, their approach to sound and ensemble, their many tours, participation in festivals and competitions, and personnel. The study details the Soni Ventorum's collaborations with colleagues at the University of Washington School of Music, especially the many composers who wrote pieces for the group. One chapter covers ensemble pieces that have been written for the members of the Son! Ventorum Wind Quintet, while another presents wind quintet and quartet arrangements that were prepared by the quintet members themselves. The final chapter provides biographies of the members of the Soni Ventorum Wind Quintet.The Introduction to the study is a brief history of wind quintets. The study concludes with detailed appendices cataloguing the Soni Ventorum Wind Quintet's repertoire, concerts, residencies, tours and a complete discography.At the time of this writing, the author is aware of no other work detailing the history of an established wind quintet

An analysis of scientific computing environments : a consumer's view
No full textThesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Computation for Design and Optimization Program, 2008.Includes bibliographical references (p. 53).In the last three decades, with rapid advancements in the hardware and software industry, a large number of commercial and free open source languages and software have evolved. Many of these are Very High Level Languages (VHLLs) which can be easily used for scientific computing purposes such as algorithm testing and engineering computations. However, this vast pool of resources has not been utilized to its full potential. In this analysis, we will be looking at various simple and complex problems and how they can be approached in various languages. All the results will be uploaded on a website in the form of a wiki intended to be accessible to everyone. By analyzing standard problems encountered frequently in scientific computing, this wiki provides the users a performance based report which they can use to choose the best option for their particular applications. Simultaneously, a lexicon of standard codes will help them in learning those options which they want to use so that fear is not a barrier. The analysis also addresses some incompatibility issues within languages and their impact. This work is a preliminary investigation as part of Professor Alan Edelman's participation in the Numerical Mathematics Consortium. We expect the scientific computing community to benefit from this research as a whole, as this analysis will give them better alternatives for their computational needs.by Amit Soni.S.M

No full textDesign methodology of ash dyke using geosynthetics considering hydraulic conditions
No full textAsh dyke is an earthen embankment which is constructed at every thermal power plant for disposal of fly ash slurry. Seepage of water takes place into the dyke from the fly ash slurry. In order to control the seepage inside the dyke, conventionally ash dyke is provided with chimney and blanket drains, which required sand as a drainage material. Today sand is not often available at various sites in sufficient quantity and required quality. Hence, for dyke construction sand is transported from other locations. Transportation cost of such a huge quantity of sand from long distance can substantially increase the cost of construction. The deficit in availability of sand in dyke construction motivates to find an alternative solution. The various geosynthetics material like geotextile, geonet, geomembrane, geocomposite and perforated pipes are available. These materials are being used in various geotechnical structures like retaining wall, filter for rock toe, drainage trench for highway, liners for landfill and many more applications. In all the above structures functions performed by geosynthetics are similar to the function of chimney and blanket drain in ash dyke. The objective is to design ash dyke system such that, it does not require substantial amount of sand in dyke construction. Instead, it will use geosynthetics materials for proper functioning. Two alternative designs of ash dyke system have been proposed, and both of these have application of geosynthetics material to control the seepage in dyke body. These alternative designs are ash dyke with vertical drainage composite and ash dyke with horizontal drainage composite. The design of Ash dyke with vertical drainage composite is similar to the ash dyke with chimney drain. It consists of vertical drainage composite, drainage trench, horizontal drainage system and horizontal drainage composite. In this design a vertical drainage composite is placed at centre of the dyke to collect seepage water, which is connected to the drainage trench. A horizontal drainage system consisting of lateral pipes having initial portion perforated is connected to drainage trench, which collects seepage water from drainage trench and drain out from the dyke body. A drainage composite is also provided in downstream side of the dyke to collect seepage from foundation soil. Ash dyke with horizontal drainage composite consists of horizontal layers of drainage composite and down slope drainage system. Drainage composite in the dyke is installed in layers at different levels and top drainage composite is extended vertically up to height of fill slurry to collect seepage water. Arrangement of horizontal composite is depends upon the quantity of seepage. These drainage composites are connected to the downslope drainage system to drain out the seepage water. In both the alternate design raising of ash dyke is done by upstream method of raising. The methods proposed in this study have been developed to design each component of both the alternative ash dyke system by using the theories developed in the literature for the design of geosynthetics in above mentioned other structures. Also detailed specifications and various factors to be considered in the design of each component of ash dyke have been proposed. A step by step construction procedure for both the alternative designs has been proposed and a design example problem is solved for future reference
PULSE-SMART: Pulse-Based Arrhythmia Discrimination Using a Novel Smartphone Application
No full textCo-author Apurv Soni is a medical student in the MD/PhD Program at UMass Medical School.BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common and dangerous rhythm abnormality. Smartphones are increasingly used for mobile health applications by older patients at risk for AF and may be useful for AF screening. OBJECTIVES: To test whether an enhanced smartphone app for AF detection can discriminate between sinus rhythm (SR), AF, premature atrial contractions (PACs), and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). METHODS: We analyzed two hundred and nineteen 2-minute pulse recordings from 121 participants with AF (n = 98), PACs (n = 15), or PVCs (n = 15) using an iPhone 4S. We obtained pulsatile time series recordings in 91 participants after successful cardioversion to sinus rhythm from preexisting AF. The PULSE-SMART app conducted pulse analysis using 3 methods (Root Mean Square of Successive RR Differences; Shannon Entropy; Poincare plot). We examined the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive accuracy of the app for AF, PAC, and PVC discrimination from sinus rhythm using the 12-lead EKG or 3-lead telemetry as the gold standard. We also administered a brief usability questionnaire to a subgroup (n = 65) of app users. RESULTS: The smartphone-based app demonstrated excellent sensitivity (0.970), specificity (0.935), and accuracy (0.951) for real-time identification of an irregular pulse during AF. The app also showed good accuracy for PAC (0.955) and PVC discrimination (0.960). The vast majority of surveyed app users (83%) reported that it was "useful" and "not complex" to use. CONCLUSION: A smartphone app can accurately discriminate pulse recordings during AF from sinus rhythm, PACs, and PVCs.MD/Ph
