Martin Behrmann\u27s Lehrbuch Fuer Chorleitung: a Translation. (Volumes One and Two).
No full textMartin Behrmann is the Director of the Berliner Kirchenmusik- schule in the Spandau section of West Berlin. Behrmann is also the conductor of the Spandauer Kantorei and another civic chorus in Hamburg, West Germany. Lehrbuch fur Chorleitung is the first of three volumes to be pub- lished by Hannsler-Verlag of Stuttgart. This first volume is due to be released by the publisher in the summer of 1985. Behrmann assumes and defends the position that conducting does not require special talent. The author maintains that conduc- ting can be taught and then proceeds to demonstrate his method. This method consists primarily of stimulating every conceivable musical problem which a choral conductor might encounter and rehearsing it with the assistance of an instructor. Behrmann places particular emphasis on rehearsal technique, advocating his own technique as one which can be studied in order for a beginner conductor to be able to develop his own individual technique. The author divides rehearsals into four phases and describes each phase, the duration, the material to be addressed, and the results to be expected. Within these four phases, difficulties are placed into three classifications. The majority of the book addresses these classifications of difficulties and all that they entail. Numerous excerpts from compositions (mostly by German composers) as well as short exercises by Behrmann are utilized throughout the book. The final chapter is demonstrative, more specifically, of his rehearsal technique concerning one particular piece of music, Wie der Hirschshreiet by Distler

Pure alexia: A nonspatial visual disorder affecting letter activation
No full textSeveral different interpretations have been offered to explain the mechanism giving rise to the linear relationship between word length and reading time shown by patients with pure alexia or letter-by-letter reading. One interpretation attributes this word length effect to a spatial impairment in which there is a left-right gradient of processing efficiency. This fundamental resource limitation requires that the patient focus on each letter in turn to increase its signal-to-noise ratio and discriminability, especially for letters towards the end of the string. An alternative view attributes the word length effect to a letter activation deficit that disrupts the rapid and efficient processing of single letters. In this paper, we examine these two hypotheses in relation to DS, a letter-by-letter reader. DS is able to distribute her attention to multiple locations in parallel and her performance is unaffected by the absolute or relative spatial location of the letters in a string. She is, however, impaired at reporting the identity of a letter independent of its spatial location and requires an abnormally long time to process each letter. Furthermore, investigations of DS's reading, using Howard's (1991) analyses of reaction time distributions, suggest that she processes each letter in a sequential order. Based on the results of these studies, we propose that prototypic pure alexia is a nonspatial visual disorder that affects the activation of individual letters. © 1995, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Practical Partial Discharge Measurement on Electrical Equipment
No full textPractical Partial Discharge Measurement on Electrical Equipment Accessible reference dealing with (partial discharge) PD measurement in all types of high voltage equipment using modern digital PD detectors Practical Partial Discharge Measurement on Electrical Equipment is a timely update in the field of partial discharges (PD), covering both holistic concepts and specific modern applications in one volume. The first half of the book educates the reader on what PD is and the general principles of how it is measured and interpreted. The second half of the book is similar to a handbook, with a chapter devoted to PD measurements in each type of high voltage (HV) equipment. These chapters contain specific information of the insulation system design, causes of PD in that equipment, off-line and on-line measurement methods, interpretation methods, and relevant standards. The work is authored by four well-known experts in the field of PD measurement who have published hundreds of technical papers on the subject and performed thousands of PD measurements on all the different types of HV equipment covered in the book. The authors have also had relationships with PD detector manufacturers, giving them key insights into test instruments and practical measurements. Sample topics covered in the work include: • Physics of PD, discharge phenomena (contact sparking and vibration sparking), and an introduction to PD measurement (electrical, optical, acoustic, and chemical) • Electrical PD detection (types of sensors), RF PD detection (antenna, TEV), and PD instrumentation and display • Off-line and on-line PD measurements, general principles of PD interpretation, and laboratory PD testing of lumped test objects • PD in different types of HV equipment (power cables, power transformers, air insulated metal-clad switchgear, rotating machines, gas-insulated switchgear, and more) For HV equipment OEMs, users of HV equipment, or employees of companies that provide PD testing services to clients, Practical Partial Discharge Measurement on Electrical Equipment is an essential reference to help understand general concepts about the topic and receive expert guidance during specific practical applications.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Inflammatory signaling in liver cells: Cross-regulation of the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 pathway and microRNAs
No full textInterleukin-6 (IL-6) plays important roles in the regulation of liver functions and promotes the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common primary liver cancer. Whereas protein-encoding genes are well-studied, the contribution of IL-6-regulated microRNAs (miRNAs) to its effects is largely unexplored. Similarly, little is known about miRNAs regulating key molecules of the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway.
In the main part of this thesis, cell-based high-throughput screenings systems were developed, allowing the identification of miRNAs interfering with the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 signaling. Out of 538 miRNA mimics, this dual screening approach followed by various validation steps (luciferase-3’UTR-reporter assays, western blot and flow cytometry analyses) allowed us to identify twelve miRNAs targeting STAT3, JAK1, SOCS3, IL6R and/or gp130, ten of them had not yet been reported as regulators of this pathway before.
In the second part of this work, microarray analyses revealed that primary hepatocytes are considerably more responsive to IL-6 stimulation regarding changes in their miRNomes than liver-derived cell lines. Despite their weaker response, one of the top regulated miRNA found in the primary hepatocytes, miR-146b-5p, could also be induced by IL-6-type cytokines (IL-6 and Oncostatin M) in cell lines. Its functional role(s) in hepatocytes are currently investigated. A larger, comparative study included additionally Interferon gamma and IL-27, cytokines with a STAT1-dominated response, and supplementary cell lines originating not only from the liver but also from other tissues. While all cytokines had profound effects on the mRNA transcriptomes, only very small to moderate changes were observed at the miRNome level, suggesting that the regulation mediated by cytokines mainly happens through the modulation of protein-coding genes rather than by fine-tuning via miRNAs.
Additionally, we analyzed expression of a broad panel of cytokines in sera of 125 patients with liver diseases (steatosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, HCC) by bead-based multiplex immunoassays. We observed that, for example, serum HGF, IL-6 and IL-8 levels increased in relation with the severeness of liver pathology while PDGF-BB and RANTES decreased. When investigating the impact of the patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 variant I148M (PNPLA3 I148M), known to be a risk factor for the development of liver diseases, on the serum levels of cytokines, no significant differences could be observed between the different genotypes.
In this PhD thesis, we identified and characterized miRNAs relevant for the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway, including miR-146b-5p as an IL-6-inducible miRNA. Others like miR-194-5p,
miR-4473 and miR-548k were demonstrated to be negative regulators of this pathway and may be of potential therapeutic significance. In addition, we showed that, while miRNAs can modulate this pathway, IL-6 seems to rather regulate the mRNA transcriptome than the miRNome.R-AGR-0080-10-
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
