    No full text
    The essay is the program notes of Wen-Chi Chang`s Oboe Recital which was performed on May 9th, 2019. The recital includes four different periods of oboe repertoire, baroque period, classical music period, romantic music period, and modern music period. The recital opened with Antonio Lucio Vivaldi: Oboe Concerto in D Major, RV. 453, Vivaldi was the most important Italian composer and violinist in the Baroque period. His numerous works are in a great astonishment which are including various genres. The second peice is Domenico Cimarosa: Oboe Concerto in C Major, Cimarosa is the most famous Italian opera composer in the 18th century. His opera works are mainly comedy. \ue3\ue3 The second half of the recital was opened with Charles Camille Saint-Sa\uc3\uabns: Sonata for oboe and Piano, Op. 166, Saint-Sa\uc3\uabns was a French composer, keyboardist and music educator. He has created many important musical works and has a profound influence on future generations. And ended was Paul Hindemith: Sonata for Oboe and Piano, Hindemith was the most representative German composer in the early twentieth century, and an outstanding music performer and music educator. In this program notes article, I will use these four musical works as the topic to overview the life of the four composers, the background of the music composition and the interpretation of each works

    Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV

    Full text link
    The prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region

    Brain Segmentation ? A Case study of Biomedical Cloud Computing for Education and Research

    No full text
    Medical imaging is widely adopted in Hospitals and medical institutes, and new ways to improve existing medical imaging services are regularly exploited. This paper describes the adoption of Cloud Computing is useful for medical education and research, and describes the methodology, results and lesson learned. A working Bioinformatics Cloud platform can demonstrate computation and visualisation of brain imaging. The aim is to study segmentation of brains, which divides the brain into ten major regions. The Cloud platform has these two functions: (i) it can highlight each region for ten different segments; and (ii) it can adjust intensity of segmentation to allow basic study of brain medicine. Two types of benefits are reported as follows. Firstly, all the medical student participants are reported to have 20% improvement in their learning satisfaction. Secondly, 100% of volunteer participants are reported to have positive learning experience
