The permutation class Av(4213,2143)
No full textWe determine the structure of permutations avoiding the patterns 4213 and 2143. Each such permutation consists of the skew sum of a sequence of plane trees, together with an increasing sequence of points above and an increasing sequence of points to its left. We use this characterisation to establish the generating function enumerating these permutations. We also investigate the properties of a typical large permutation in the class and prove that if a large permutation that avoids 4213 and 2143 is chosen uniformly at random, then it is more likely than not to avoid 2413 as well
Sir Arthur Sullivan: Songs: Chandos CHAN10935
No full textThis exceptional recording gathers the finest young vocal talents in a unique programme of songs by Sullivan, many of them very rarely recorded.Currently widely acclaimed for key operatic title roles in the UK and abroad, the ‘deeply touching, outstanding’ (The Guardian) soprano Mary Bevan, the ‘elegant yet intense, impeccable’ (The Guardian) tenor Ben Johnson, and the ‘increasingly impressive’ (The Financial Times) bass-baritone Ashley Riches – who here appears on Chandos for the first time – span fifty years of Arthur Sullivan’s large non-operatic vocal output. They are accompanied by the UK pianist David Owen Norris, who regularly appears in highly praised concerto performances at the BBC Proms.This album continues to celebrate the Shakespeare anniversary but also presents a wide variety of poets, drawing on texts from a vast range of sources, through the voices of today’s greatest rising stars
Curare: from laboratory to law court
No full textDr. David Bevan held the Wesley-Bourne Chair of Anesthesia at McGill University, Chair of Anesthesia at UBC, Anesthetist-in-Chief at the University Health Network/Mount Sinai Hospital and subsequently Chair of the Department of Anesthesia at University of Toronto until his retirement in 2006. Dr. Bevan’s research contributions included seminal work in neuromuscular blockade and this work, in addition to his expertise as a reviewer, led to several editorial appointments, including Editor-in-Chief for CIM (2003–2010). Dr. Bevan played a role in the introduction of the Anesthesia Care Team concept in Ontario. He published widely and was awarded multiple international pro-fessional honors
On Not Becoming Der Wanderer (after Caspar David Friedrich), Snæfellsnes, Iceland (2018)
No full textIn the photo-series On Not Becoming Der Wanderer (after Caspar David Friedrich), Snæfellsnes, Iceland (2018), Bevan makes multiple attempts to reach a position that embodies Der Wanderer in Caspar David Friedrich’s painting Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer (Wanderer above the Sea of Fog). Friedrich’s painting shows a single man (Der Wanderer) standing with his back to the spectator on a rocky peak above the clouds. Having (supposedly) conquered the precipice, he stands transfixed in contemplation of an unknown future; here is a figure of both power and vulnerability. This is a seminal landscape painting that emerged around 1818 during the period of Romanticism, exploring new religious, spiritual and mythological desires or longings to be part of nature.
Bevan’s photo-series intentionally evokes Friedrich’s painting, while never fully realising it. In its absence, the painting is present as a mythical image, and all attendant discourse surrounding the original work is brought to bear by association. In the act of failing to reach the position of Der Wanderer, Bevan presents alternative states that are limited by the capacity to play out an idealized (painted) image - a comment on the human condition, and a passing interplay between photography, painting and performance. Bevan is unable to trigger the photograph and get to the desired pose within the self-timed 10 seconds, intentionally compromised by the status of being at once behind and then in front of the camera. Furthermore, but not exhaustively, this series is also a champion of the ‘superposition’ as a preferred but messy status of existence. In a rejection to collapse into the singular, decisive and absolute moment of the original work, Bevan’s multiple states of indetermination, self-reflexively identify with the elemental concept of Der Wanderer himself, who is similarly encountering the indeterminate.
In this way, at a number of levels the photo-series embodies the notion and principle of myth itself
Trade and fiscal adjustment in Africa
No full textEleven papers, three previously published, resulting from a workshop held at St. Antony's College, Oxford, in January 1992, explore questions raised in both political economy and the design and efficacy of policy reforms following trade and fiscal reforms in Africa. Papers focus on timing and sequencing issues for trade liberalization in Africa; alternative strategies for sustainable performance; donor trade benefits from aid; modeling the cost of speculative behavior with an application to Kenya; the design of fiscal reforms in revenue-constrained developing countries; causes and consequences of tax revenue instability in sub-Saharan Africa; analyzing the incidence of taxes in the Ivory Coast; tax reform in Tanzania; fiscal implications of trade liberalization; the fiscal impact of trade reforms in Tanzania in the 1980s; and portfolio responses to trade policy incredibility. Coeditors are Paul Collier, Norman Gemmell, and David Greenaway. Bevan is Fellow of St. John's College, Oxford. Index
