    Music in words : the music of Anthony Burgess, and the role of music in his literature

    No full text
    Theý principal focus of the thesis is Anthony Burgess, a prolific novelist whose first and enduring creative passion was music in general and composition in particular. Burgess criticism is limited and largely out-of-date, showing little recognition of the aural or musical elements in his fiction, and virtually no specialist commentary on the music and its relationships with the literature. The main aim of the thesis, therefore, is to demonstrate the variety and strength of the widespread musical elements in Burgess's literature, including the importance he attaches to the sonic basis of language, and to show that these are supported by the musical sensibility and technical competence evident in his. compositions. It is suggested that in the inevitable reassessmenot f his work following his death in 1993, the effects of his musicianship on his literary work should play a greater part than hitherto, and the thesis makes a contribution to this reassessmenbt oth through its original critical commentaries on his music and through the music-orientated discussion of his literature. After an introduction and literature review, the first chapter examines three examples of Burgess's little-known music. All are associated with verbal texts, though the range is otherwise wide, and through them it is possible to draw conclusions about the competence of his handling of musical language and structure. The second and third chapters examine the more familiar work of Burgess the acclaimed author, but from the unfamiliar viewpoint of its musical content, including not only surface references but also hidden allusions and technical puzzles aimed at the musician reader. Two instances of music serving as a structural template for literature are analysed in detail, and attention is also drawn to Burgess's awareness of musical elements in the content and language of the, work of some. of his predecessors. The final core-chapter,e xamines the fusion of Burgess's literary and,m usical skills in the context of his music and words for stage and radio. What emerges is the clear intermeshing of his parallel careers;, and the production within his distinctive literary output of work which, due to the radical extent of its musicalisation, has to be viewed as musically-aware literature for specialised readers, at times evincing, it is proposed, a logic which springs primarily from music

    Activation volumes for peroxodisulfate oxidation of cobalt(iii), iron(ii) and nickel(ii) complexes

    No full text
    Dependences of rate constants on pressure (in aqueous solution up to 1.25 kbar) are reported for peroxodisulphate oxidation of hexacyanoferrate(TI), tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)iron(II), tris(l,10-phenanthroline)iron(II), bis(l,4,7-triazacyclononane)nickel(II) and bis(l,2-ethanediamine)cysteinatocobalt(III) and its thioglycollato-analogue, and for periodate oxidation of the two last-named complexes. Derived activation volumes are reported and discussed in terms of intrinsic and solvational contributions. Rate laws and pressure effects on reactivity are reported for the reaction of peroxodisulphate with pentacyanoferrates(II) containing N-alkylpyrazinium ligands.PT: J; CR: ALSHEHRI S, 1992, THESIS LEICESTER ALSHEHRI S, 1993, TRANSIT METAL CHEM, V18, P228 ASANO T, 1978, CHEM REV, V78, P407 BLUNDELL NJ, 1989, INORG CHIM ACTA, V155, P165 BURGESS J, UNPUB BURGESS J, 1966, J CHEM SOC A, P1772 BURGESS J, 1970, J CHEM SOC A, P2114 BURGESS J, 1980, J CHEM SOC CHEM COMM, P350 BURGESS J, 1982, INORG CHIM ACTA, V64, L71 BURGESS J, 1987, TRANSIT METAL CHEM, V12, P238 BURGESS J, 1992, PROGR REACT KINET, V17, P1 HAINES RI, 1981, COORDIN CHEM REV, V39, P77 HALLINAN N, 1987, J ORGANOMET CHEM, V333, P77 HERTING DL, 1978, INORG CHEM, V17, P1649 HOUSE DA, 1962, CHEM REV, V62, P185 IRVINE DH, 1958, J CHEM SOC, P2166 IRVINE DH, 1959, J CHEM SOC, P2977 MCAULEY A, 1984, INORG CHEM, V23, P1938 MILLERO FJ, 1971, CHEM REV, V71, P147 SLOAN CP, 1975, INORG CHEM, V14, P1481 TOMA HE, 1973, INORG CHEM, V12, P1039 VOLLAROVA O, 1983, J CHEM SOC DA, P2359 VOLLAROVA O, 1986, COLLECT CZECH CHEM C, V51, P1049 YEH A, 1985, J AM CHEM SOC, V107, P369; NR: 24; TC: 7; J9: TRANSIT METAL CHEM; PG: 4; GA: MK339Source type: Electronic(1

    Multivariate Bayesian analysis to predict invasiveness of Phytophthora pathogens

    No full text
    Three excel databases have been compiled to provide the background data for this manuscript.Supporting Data 1. All internal transcribed spacer GenBank records of Phytophthora (over 15,000 records). All records were checked within phylogenetic analyses to confirm the species identity. An explanation for the process used is given in the first datasheet.Supporting Data 2. All disease records for Phytophthora based on both host and country. Publicly available records of plant diseases involving Phytophthora species were collated to establish a global database of Phytophthora diseases. Reports of formally and provisionally described species for which host genus or species information was available were included until March 2022. Reports were scoured from plant disease databases and large collections including:•United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), global fungal database (Farr and Rossman 2022) using the R package (rusda – Krah 2016, n = 8 497 reports),•Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI), •The New Zealand Forest Research (Scion) forest health database (collected through correspondence = 1 504 records), •Landcare Research, New Zealand fungi database (collected through correspondence = 1 559 records),•Australia Phytophthora disease records (sourced from Burgess et al. 2021 = 7 629 records), and•NCBI Genbank records (manual download Appendix S1 = 12 957 records).Additional plant disease records not available in the above databases were manually downloaded Supporting Data 3. A trait database for all described Phytophthora species including morphological and physiological traits, the type of disease caused by each species and the environments where the different species have been recovered. The morphological and physiological traits were from species descriptions and the type of disease caused, and the environments where the species has been found were from disease reports. The variables collated are explained in the final datasheet of the file
