ADRIAN POP - IN SEARCH OF A LONG LOST SMILE
No full textAn anniversary, especially in the case of a generation colleague, the renowned composer Adrian Pop, generates the remembrance of a long series of musical events that have become notorious, with works included in the national and international concert repertoire. The avoidance of nostalgic memories made that a stage miniature be chosen for the present paper, an incursion of the author into the naive world of childhood reading. The result was a modern, glamorous musical transposition of a sequence with Max and Moritz, the playful heroes created by the famous humorist and cartoonist Wilhelm Busch in the middle of the 19th century. The musical act Onkel Fritz by Adrian Pop was first performed in Cluj in 2016, on October 22, on the occasion of his previous anniversary, within the Cluj Musical Autumn Festival. The graceful performers of the act, presented under the title “Anniversaries at the Festival, Adrian Pop compositional portrait”, were soprano Mihaela Maxim, in the role of Max and pianist Eva Butean, in the role of Moritz. How did composer Adrian Pop manage to musically enliven a 150 years old humorous story? The author of the following text will try to answer this question.
Rezumat. ADRIAN POP - ÎN CĂUTAREA SURÂSULUI PIERDUT. O aniversare, mai ales în cazul unui coleg de generație, reputatul compozitor Adrian Pop, generează rememorarea unui lung șir de evenimente muzicale devenite notorii, cu lucrări intrate în repertoriul intern și internațional de concerte. Evitarea unor memorii nostalgice au făcut ca sorții acestei comunicări să cadă asupra unei miniaturi scenice, o incursiune a autorului în lumea ingenuă a lecturilor din copilărie. A rezultat o transpunere muzicală modernă, plină de farmec, a unei secvențe cu Max și Moritz, eroii poznași creați de celebrul umorist și caricaturist Wilhelm Busch la mijlocul secolului XIX. Prima audiție clujeană a scenetei muzicale Onkel Fritz de Adrian Pop a avut loc în 2016, la 22 octombrie, cu ocazia precedentei sale aniversări, în cadrul Toamnei Muzicale Clujene. Interpreții plini de har ai scenetei prezentate sub genericul „Aniversări în Festival, portret componistic Adrian Pop” au fost soprana Mihaela Maxim, în rolul lui Max și pianista Eva Butean, în rolul lui Moritz. Oare cum a reușit compozitorul Adrian Pop să însuflețească muzical o poveste umoristică de 150 de ani? La această întrebare va încerca să răspundă autoarea acestor rânduri.

Novel Applications of the Wavelet Transform for Analysis of P Waves in Clinical ECG Recordings
No full textIn recent years there has been renewed interest in the importance and analysis of the clinical P wave in the development of cardiovascular disease. Current research has focused upon P wave morphology and its diagnostic importance in the assessment of atrial disorders and cardiac conditions in general. The analysis of P waves in clinical electrocardiogram recordings presents several problems arising from the poor signal to noise ratio of the P wave. The variability of the P wave, its susceptibility to influences from anterior processes and physiological alterations in elderly patients all affect the conspicuousness of P wave features. The current interest in the morphology of the P wave is due to advances in morphological analysis of other physiological signals and the inadequacies of classic cardiological measures of the clinical P wave.
Processing of the ECG has been a research topic within the signal processing field for several decades, accelerated by the more recent widespread acceptance of digital recording techniques in clinical cardiology practices. Improvements in digital processing and recording technologies coupled with reduction in their costs have seen a proliferation of signal processing concepts being applied to clinical cardiology for both practical and exploratory causes. A recent area of interest in biomedical signal analysis problems is the application of wavelet transforms.
The use of the wavelet transform has gained popularity in time-frequency analysis because of the flexibility it offers in the choice of analysing basis functions. This is particularly advantageous in the analysis of characteristic physiological signals where wavelet basis functions can be chosen to highlight the idiosyncrasies of signal’s morphology.
Proposed in this dissertation is a novel application of the wavelet transform to the analysis of P wave morphology recorded in clinical cardiology settings. These characteristics are sensitive to subtle changes in the morphology of the P wave which is indicative of variations in the electrical wavefront propagation through the atria. This novel method of characterising the P wave morphology uses both temporal and frequency domain aspects of the ECG signal.
This novel technique was applied to the problems of classification of P wave morphology and estimation of physical atrial dimensions. The investigations presented in this dissertation show that this novel analysis method compares well against traditional ECG descriptors in identifying abnormal P wave morphology. Additionally, several wavelet transform characteristics of the P wave proposed here provided significantly better indications of physical atrial dimensions than traditional scalar descriptors of the ECG P wave. This result has great potential benefit for rural and regional cardiovascular healthcare in areas where access to more elaborate cardiac assessment technologies is limited or non-existent.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Centre for Wireless Monitoring and ApplicationsFaculty of Science, Environment, Engineering and TechnologyFull Tex
