Monument to the 5th Duke of Buccleuch
No full textTwo of the six rampant stags, by David Watson Stevenson and William Grant Stevenson, holding coats of arms; Walter Francis Montagu-Douglas-Scott, 5th Duke of Buccleuch [7th Duke of Queensberry] (1806-1884) pursued a political career after graduating from Cambridge in 1827. The allegorical "Virtue" figures on the memorial were executed by William Birnie Rhind RSA (1853-1933). The statue of the Duke by Boehm shows him in the robes of the Order of the Garter, while bronze panels depict incidents from the Buccleuch family history on the third tier and scenes from the life of the 5th Duke himself (second tier). Besides Birnie Rhind, sculptors of the panels include Clark Stanton, Stuart Burnett and D W and W G Stevenson. The plinth was designed by Sir Rowand Anderson.

Boehm system g clarinet usage in Turkish music performance and its advantages as technical gain
No full textKlarnet temel parmak pozisyonları ile değerlendirildiğinde mikrotonal müziğe uygun bir çalgı aleti değildir. Tanımlanmış tampere sistem parmak pozisyonları ve standart üfleme tekniği dışına çıkılırsa mikrotonal sesler elde etmek mümkün hale gelir. Ağız hareketleriyle mikrotonal sesleri elde etmek mümkündür ancak hız arttıkça icrada hatalara yer vermesi olasıdır. Alternatif parmak pozisyonları icra sırasında ağız hareketlerinin yaptığı işi hafifletmektedir. Albert sistem klarnet Türk müziğinin melodik yapısına asgari oranda yanıt verebilmiş bir klarnettir. Günümüz Türk müziği klarnet icracılarının birçoğunun Albert sistem klarnet kullanması bunu doğrular niteliktedir. Fakat yine de mikrotonal sesleri geleneksel çalgılara göre fazla uyumlu seslendiremediği durumlar vardır. Perde sisteminin minimalliği ve Türk müziğinin basit melodik yapısı (aralıklı sesler-veya belirli perdelerden icra-ustadan çırağa aktarım) gibi sebeplerle icracılar Albert sistem klarneti seçmişler ve günümüzde bu sistemi icra etmektedirler. Klasik Batı müziğinde geçerliliğini kanıtlamış Boehm sistem klarnet, temel parmak pozisyonları bakımından çok daha elverişli bir klarnet sistemidir. Pozisyon alternatifleri ve çeşitliliği sebebiyle temel pozisyonlar dışındaki pozisyonlar ile mikrotonal sesleri elde etme başarısı ve sayısı çok daha fazladır. Türk Müziğinde klarneti daha iyi icra edebilmek için Boehm sistem klarnetin avantajlarını analiz eden bu çalışmanın, müzik kültürümüze yeni bir bakış açısı getirerek katkı sunacağı düşünülmüştür. Anahtar Kelimeler: Müzik, Klarnet, Albert, Boehm, Sol KlarnetClarinet is not an appropriate musical instrument for microtonal music when one considers basic finger positions. If one goes beyond defined tampere system finger positions and normal blowing techniques, it will be possible to get microtonal sounds. It is possible to have microtonal sounds by mouth movements; however, it will possibly cause faults in playing as the speed goes up. Alternative finger positions decrease the action of mouth movements during playing. Albert system clarinet is a clarinet which is responsive to melodical structure of Turkish music in a minimum way. The fact that today's most of Turkish music clarinet players use Albert system confirms this case. However, there are some cases where they cannot vocalize microtonal sounds in more harmony compared to traditional instruments. Players prefer Albert system clarinet because of minimalism of pitch system and simple melodical structure of Turkish music (intermittent sounds-or playing by certain pitch-transfer from the master to the apprentice) and they play in this way nowadays. Boehm system clarinet which proves to be valid in Classical Western Music is a more effective clarinet system in terms of basic finger positions. The success and number of getting microtonal sounds is more with other positions out of basic positions due to position alternatives and diversity. It is thought that this study which analyses advantages of Boehm system clarinet to play the clarinet in Turkish music brings a new perspective and makes contributions to our music culture.

Dosage-related bifidogenic effects of galacto- and fructooligosaccharides in formula-fed term infants.
No full textAbstract
BACKGROUND: Human milk oligosaccharides have been shown to stimulate selectively the growth of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli in the intestine. In this study, the bifidogenic effect of an experimental prebiotic oligosaccharide mixture consisting of low-molecular-weight galactooligosaccharides and high-molecular-weight fructooligosaccharides was analyzed in 90 term infants. METHODS: Two test formulas were supplemented with either 0.4 g/dL or with 0.8 g/dL oligosaccharides. In the control formula, maltodextrin was used as placebo. At study day 1 and study day 28, the fecal species, colony forming units (cfu) and pH were measured and stool characteristics, growth, and side effects were recorded.
RESULTS: At study day 1, the median number of Bifidobacteria did not differ among the groups (0.4 g/dL group, mean [interquartile range] 8.5 [1.9] cfu/g; 0.8 g/dL group, 7.7 [6.1] cfu/g; and the placebo group, 8.8 [6.1] cfu/g) (figures in square brackets are interquartile range). At the end of the 28-day feeding period, the number of Bifidobacteria was significantly increased for both groups receiving supplemented formulas (the 0.4 g/dL group, 9.3 [4.9] cfu/g; the 0.8 g/dL group, 9.7 [0.8] cfu/g) versus the placebo group (7.2 [4.9] cfu/g, P < 0.001). This effect was dose dependent (0.4 g/dL versus 0.8 g/dL, P < 0.01). The number of Lactobacilli also increased significantly in both groups fed the supplemented formulas (versus placebo, P < 0.001), but there was no statistically significant difference between the group fed formula with 0.4 g/dL oligosaccharides and the group fed formula with 0.8 g/dL oligosaccharides. The dosage of supplement significantly influenced the change in fecal pH (P < 0.05) (placebo, pH 5.5-6.1; 0.4 g/dL formula, pH 5.48-5.44; 0.8 g/dL formula, pH 5.54-5.19). Slight changes in the stool frequency resulted in a significant difference between the placebo group and the group fed the 0.8 g/dL formula at day 28 (P < 0.01). Supplementation had a significant dose-dependent influence on stool consistency (0.8 g/dL versus placebo, P < 0.0001; 0.8 g/dL versus 0.4 g/dL, P < 0.01). Supplementation had no influence on the incidence of side effects (crying, regurgitation, vomiting) or growth.
CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that supplementation of a term infant's formula with a mixture of galacto- and fructooligosaccharides has a dose-dependent stimulating effect on the growth of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli in the intestine and results in softer stool with increasing dosage of supplementation
Dissociation of rapid response learning and facilitation in perceptual and conceptual networks of person recognition
No full textRepetition priming is a prominent example of non-declarative memory, and it increases the accuracy and speed of responses to repeatedly processed stimuli. Major long-hold memory theories posit that repetition priming results from facilitation within perceptual and conceptual networks for stimulus recognition and categorization. Stimuli can also be bound to particular responses, and it has recently been suggested that this rapid response learning, not network facilitation, provides a sound theory of priming of object recognition. Here, we addressed the relevance of network facilitation and rapid response learning for priming of person recognition with a view to advance general theories of priming. In four experiments, participants performed conceptual decisions like occupation or nationality judgments for famous faces. The magnitude of rapid response learning varied across experiments, and rapid response learning co-occurred and interacted with facilitation in perceptual and conceptual networks. These findings indicate that rapid response learning and facilitation in perceptual and conceptual networks are complementary rather than competing theories of priming. Thus, future memory theories need to incorporate both rapid response learning and network facilitation as individual facets of priming
Prebiotics improve gastric motility and gastric electrical activity in preterm newborns.
No full textThe aim of this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the effect of a prebiotic mixture on gastric motility in preterm newborns. After a feeding period of 15 days, gastric electrical activity was measured by electrogastrography, and the gastric emptying time was studied by ultrasound technique. No difference was seen in the daily increase of body weight, and no adverse events have been reported. The percentage of time in which propagation was detected in the electrogastrography signal was twice in newborns receiving formula with prebiotics with respect to placebo, and the gastric half-emptying time was 30% faster in the prebiotic group than the placebo group. Prebiotic oligosaccharides can modulate the electrical activity and the gastric emptying and may improve the intestinal tolerance of enteral feeding in preterm infants
Dietary prebiotic oligosaccharides are detectable in the faeces of formula-fed infants
No full textHuman milk oligosaccharides are not digested during intestinal passage and can be detected in stools. In this study it was investigated whether a prebiotic mixture of low-molecular-weight galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and high-molecular-weight fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) can be detected in stool samples of formula-fed infants. The test formula was supplemented with 0.8 g/dl oligosaccharides (GOS+FOS). In the control formula, maltodextrins were used as placebo. Fecal flora was assessed at the beginning (day 1) and at the end of a 28-d feeding period (day 2). At day 2 the content of galacto- and fructo-oligosaccharides in the stool samples were measured. On study day 1, the number of bifidobacteria was not different among the groups (supplemented group: 7.7 (6.2) CFU/g; placebo group: 8.0 (6.0) CFU/g). At the end of the 28-d feeding period, the number of bifidobacteria was significantly higher in the group fed the supplemented formula when compared to placebo (supplemented group: 9.8 (0.7) CFU/g stool; placebo group: 7.1 (4.7) CFU/g stool; p<0.001). In all infants fed the supplemented formula, GOS and FOS could be identified in the stool samples. That was not the case in infants fed the non-supplemented formula. CONCLUSION: The present data confirm the bifidogenicity of oligosaccharides and indicate that dietary galacto-oligosaccharides and long chain fructo-oligosaccharides remain during the whole passage in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract, similarly to human milk oligosaccharides
