The Influence of Jazz on the Solo Trumpet Compositions of Eugène Bozza
Get PDFThis paper investigates the influence of jazz on the nine solo trumpet compositions of the French composer Eugène Bozza (1905-1991). Bozza, like many other French composers in the first half of the 20th century, combines traditional elements of western European art music with innovations of American popular music. While Bozza holds a prominent role as a composer of solo trumpet literature in the mid-20th century, little has been written about the influence of jazz in his works. This paper traces the influences of American jazz upon French composers and analyzes the elements of jazz within Bozza's compositions for solo trumpet by comparing them to conventions employed by jazz composers
Phrygia Hierapolisi’nde Helenistik ve Roma İmparatorluk Dönemleri İon Mimarisi: Mimari modeller, şemalar ve stiller
No full textMakale, Küçük Asya İmparatorluk mimarisi bağlamında analiz edilen Frigya'daki Hierapolis'in İonik
mimarisi üzerine hazırlanan son monografik çalışmanın (S. Bozza, Architettura ionica a Hierapolis di
Frigia, Hierapolis di Frigia XIV, İstanbul, 2020) bir özetini sunmaktadır. Makalenin ilk bölümünde, kentin
başlıca İonik yapıları kronolojik bir sırayla kısaca anlatılmaktadır. Daha sonra, Hierapolis İon
mimarisinin artzamanlı gelişiminin tanımı, İon başlıklarına özel dikkat gösterilerek, ikonografik şemalar
ve dekoratif desenlerin kullanımı açısından ele alınmaktadır. Üçüncü bölümde, lokal biçimsel dilin
gelişimi ve mermer atölyelerinin rolü hakkında bazı düşünceler öne sürüyorum; özellikle, Hierapolis İon
mimarisinin bazı ikonografik ve stilistik özelliklerini, bilhassa başlıklara, ekinus işçiliğine ve volüt
kanallarına odaklanarak, inceliyorum. Son olarak, dördüncü bölümde makale Küçük Asya’nın en eski
şehirlerinin kentsel peyzajlarından esinlendiği için yerel kimliğin güçlü bir sembolü olarak İon düzeninin
İmparatorluk dönemi boyunca Hierapolis'in hem dinsel mimarisinin hem de kamusal anıtlarının ayırt
edici bir özelliğini temsil ettiğini vurgulayarak, yapıların mimari düzeni ve simgesel değerleri hakkında
bazı görüşler sunmaktadır.The article offers a summary of the recent monographic study on the Ionic architecture of Hierapolis of
Phrygia (S. Bozza, Architettura ionica a Hierapolis di Frigia, Hierapolis di Frigia XIV, Istanbul, 2020),
analysed in the context of the imperial architecture of Asia Minor. In the first part, the article gives a brief
account of the main Ionic monuments of the city in a chronological order. Then, a description of the
diachronic evolution of the Ionic architecture of Hierapolis is provided from the point of view of the
iconographic schemes and the use of decorative patterns, with special attention to the Ionic capitals. In
the third part, I propose some reflections on the development of local formal language and on the role of
marble workshops; specifically, I analyse some iconographic and stylistic features of the Ionic
architecture of Hierapolis, especially focusing on the capitals, the workmanship of the echinus and the
canalis of the volute. Lastly, in the fourth section, the article offers some remarks on the architectural
layout and the symbolic values of the monuments, emphasising that the Ionic order represented a
distinctive feature of both sacred architecture and public monuments of Hierapolis throughout the
imperial period, as a powerful symbol of the local identity, since it was inspired by the most ancient
urban landscapes of the Microasiatic cities
A probabilistic graphical model for assessing equivocal evidence
Get PDFThe Bayes’ theorem can be generalized to account for uncertainty on reported evidence. This has an impact on the value of the evidence, making the computation of the Bayes factor more demanding, as discussed by Taroni, Garbolino, and Bozza (2020). Probabilistic graphical models can however represent a suitable tool to assist the scientist in their evaluative task. A Bayesian network is proposed to deal with equivocal evidence and its use is illustrated through examples

A Study of Bozza\u27s Eighteen Etudes In The Form of Improvisation For Horn and New Preparatory Etudes on the Works of Bozza
Get PDFThis document serves as an analysis of Eugene Bozza\u27s Dix-Huit Études en Forme d\u27Improvisation pour Cor (1961), translated to Eighteen Etudes in the Form of Improvisation for Horn for the purposes of this document. I found and documented all motifs within the eighteen etudes, and categorized connections between them and Bozza\u27s compositional ouerve as displayed in Dr. Lois Kuyper-Rushing\u27s A Thematic Index of the Works of Bozza. My research takes inspiration from Dr. Kuyper-Rushing\u27s work as well as Dr. Hsing-Fang Liu\u27s research involving Bozza\u27s use of “Adoptive Transcription”, or taking old melodies from previous works and using them in new works. Involved with this document is a recording of all eighteen etudes, recorded and performed by the author at the Barth House, a local Episcopalian center in Memphis, Tennessee. A discussion of each of the 18 etudes, their connections, and the process I had taken in practicing and recording them makes up the middle section of the document. Finally, using the knowledge gained from the connections made and the recordings provided, this document will conclude with three new preparatory etudes for the horn composed by the author in the spirit of making the performance of Bozza\u27s body of work easier for future horn students. In their current state, most of Bozza\u27s Eighteen Etudes in the Form of Improvisation are simply too difficult to be played well by intermediate students

Urban Resilience: A Civil Engineering Perspective
No full textThe concept of resilience is used in multiple scientific contexts, being understood according to several different perspectives. Essentially, resilience identifies the capability to recover, absorb shocks, and restore equilibrium after a perturbation. Recently, resilience is triggering increasing interest in engineering contexts, referring to communities and urban networked systems, as the capability to recover from natural disasters. The approach to the engineering resilience dates back to the early 1980s, when Timmerman defined resilience as "the ability of human communities to withstand external shocks or perturbations to their infrastructure and to recover from such perturbations". In this paper, a literature review of the existing methodologies to quantify urban resilience is presented according to a civil engineering perspective. Different approaches, for diverse applications, are examined and discussed. A particular focus is done on the studies from Cavallaro et al. and Bozza et al., approaching disaster resilience of urban environments to natural hazards according to the complex networks theory
Probability Calculus, Pitfalls of Intuition and Judicial Errors
No full textIn the last decades the powerful of the laboratories’ analytical results to highlight the dynamic of criminal acts has been object of an increasing attention, partly because of the enormous potentiality of the DNA test that has transformed forensic sciences. Statistics is assuming a fundamental role in forensic science, in particular to quantify the probative value of traces collected at the crime scene, or on individuals suspected to be involved in a crime, and analysed by forensic laboratories. Results of comparative analyses (comparative in the sense that some characteristics of traces recovered at the crime scene are compared to those of material originating from the suspect) are generally presented in numeric form, mostly in probability terms, and need to be carefully interpreted. Moreover, the scientific evidence collected at the
crime scene must be considered in conjunction with the bulk of informations the court possesses about the case. Judicial errors correlated to an improper use and
interpretation of probability calculus have originated a large debate about (1) how the probative value of the traces is computed, (2) how to interpret the statistical
expertise at trial, and (3) how the probative value of the scientific evidence can be combined with the other sources of information (for example, a witness statement)
in view of the court decision. Starting from a general description of the potential scenario of interest (section “The Evaluation of Scientific Evidence”), followed by
a non exhaustive overview (section “Pitfalls of Intuition”) of the possible errors of interpretation that can be originated by intuition which may be a bad substitute of
the laws of probability calculus, this paper shows (section “The Transition: Bayes’ Theorem”) how the Bayes’ theorem can represent a formidable tool to combine in a
rational way the different sources of information that may become available at trial
