Audiomobiles, Sculptures and Conundrums
No full textRoberto Gerhard was a pioneer of electronic music in England creating a number of substantial concert, theatre and radio works from as early as 1954. Gerhard’s electronic music is one of the richest repositories for understanding the development of the composer’s late compositional technique. Apart from the Symphony no.3, ‘Collages’, none of Gerhard’s electronic music is published. This paper will discuss aspects of Gerhard’s electronic music, focusing on Audiomobiles (1958-59) and Sculptures (1963)

No full textQuality of Service Negotiation for Commercial Medical Grid Services
No full textThe GEMSS project has developed a service-oriented Grid that supports the provision of medical simulation services by service providers to clients such as hospitals. We outline the GEMSS architecture, legal framework and the security features that characterise the GEMSS infrastructure. High levels of quality of service are required and we describe a reservation-based approach to quality of service, employing a quality of service management system that iteratively finds suitable reservations and uses application specific performance models. The GEMSS Grid is a commercial environment so we support flexible pricing models and a FIPA reverse English auction protocol. Signed Web Service Level Agreement contracts are exchanged to commit parties to a quality of service agreement before job execution occurs. We run four experiments across European countries using high performance computing resources running advanced resource reservation schedulers. These experiments provide evidence for our Grid’s rational behaviour, both at the level of service provider quality of service management and at the higher level of the client choosing between competing service providers. The results lend support to our economic model and the technology we use for our medical application domain
Roberto Gerhard’s Sound Compositions: A Historical-Philological Perspective. Archive, Process, Intent and reenactment
No full textThis research advances the current state of knowledge in the field of early tape music both empirically and methodologically. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact that the electronic medium exerted in the musical thinking of Roberto Gerhard, one of the most outspoken, prolific and influential composers in the Spanish diaspora whose musical legacy, for the most part unknown, is a major landmark in the early history of electroacoustic music. Gerhard’s personal tape collection, one of the largest historical archives of its kind reported in the literature, is exceptional for both its antiquity (50+-year-old tapes) and its abundance of production materials. Through the digitisation and analysis of the composer’s tape collection this research argues that the empirical study of audio documents sets out a basis for a broader understanding of textual processes. More specifically, the research demonstrates that the reconstruction of works based on magnetic tape sketches is a powerful method to advance the understanding of early tape music. This research also examines Gerhard’s sound compositions in relation to the post-war context in which they were composed. Finally, this research presents performance documentation that proposes an approach to the electroacoustic music repertoire in which creativity is not at odds with rigor and critical discernment demonstrating that archival study can be closely aligned to the concept of re-enactment

No full textSouth Africa: an important soybean producer in sub-Saharan Africa and the quest for managing nematode pests of the crop
No full textWith an increase in the global population, a protein-rich crop like soybean can help manage food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The expansion of soybean production in recent years lead to increased land requirements for growing the crop and the increased risk of exposing this valuable crop to various pests and diseases. Of these pests, plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN), especially Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus spp., are of great concern. The increase in the population densities of these nematodes can cause significant damage to soybean. Furthermore, the use of crop rotation and cultivars (cvs.) with genetic resistance traits might not be effective for Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus control. This review builds on a previous study and focuses on the current nematode threat facing local soybean production, while probing into possible biological control options that still need to be studied in more detail. As soybean is produced on a global scale, the information generated by local and international researchers is needed. This will address the problem of the current global food demand, which is a matter of pressing importance for developing countries, such as those in sub-Saharan Afric
Gerhard Schumann : biography, work, effect of a prominent Nazi author
No full textIn meiner Dissertation zu dem Thema "Gerhard Schumann - Biographie. Werk. Wirkung eines prominenten nationalsozialistischen Autors" habe ich Gerhard Schumanns Biographie, Werk sowie dessen Wirkung im Rahmen historischer Ereignisse dargestellt und analysiert, um einen Beitrag zur Erforschung des Nationalsozialismus und seiner Literatur zu leisten. Kontinuitäten innerhalb der Literatur des Autors vor 1933, zwischen 1933 und 1945 sowie nach 1945 sollen dabei herausgestellt werden. Zentrale Themen und Motive im Werk des Autors werden aufgezeigt.Biographie, Gesamtwerk und Wirkung des Autors Gerhard Schumann sind auf der Grundlage von zeitgenössischem Quellenmaterial untersucht worden. Dies liegt in Form von Zeitungsartikeln, Briefen, Gesetzestexten, Aktenmaterial und anderem vor. Dazu waren verschiedene Archivreisen notwendig, um das Material zu sichten, zu sammeln und auszuwerten. Ich besuchte das Literaturarchiv in Marbach am Neckar, das Hölderlinarchiv in Stuttgart, das Stadt- und Universitätsarchiv in Tübingen, das Bundesarchiv in Koblenz mit den Außenstellen Berlin Lichterfelde, Freiburg im Breisgau und der Hauptstelle Koblenz sowie das Bayerische Staatsarchiv in München und das Archiv des Börsenvereins des Deutschen Buchhandels in Frankfurt am Main.Im Anschluss an die Biographie, die chronologisch den Lebensstationen Schumanns folgt, wird das Werk des Dichters, insbesondere seine nationalsozialistische Poetik, beschrieben, interpretiert und dessen Wirkung untersucht. Dabei werden Schumann und sein Werk in die Gruppe nationalsozialistischer Autoren, wie Anacker, Baumann, Bethge, Blunck, Euringer, Johst, Schauwecker, Vesper und von Scholz, eingeordnet. Ich gebe einen Gesamtüberblick über Schumanns Werk und analysiere die Hauptwerke des Autors genauer. Zu berücksichtigen ist, dass Schumanns Werk nicht als Gesamtausgabe vorliegt, und die Analyse nur entsprechend der vorhandenen Einzelausgaben erfolgen konnte. Dies lässt sich darauf zurückführen, dass er nicht den Popularitätsgrad besaß, wie zum Beispiel Hans Friedrich Blunck, für den die Blunck-Gesellschaft eine Gesamtausgabe herausgegeben hatte. Innerhalb der Werkbetrachtung, in der alle Schriften, die Schumann verfasste, berücksichtigt und die Hauptwerke näher analysiert werden, soll auf die Wirkung der Werke - vor allem der lyrischen und dramatischen - eingegangen werden. Von Bedeutsamkeit ist dabei, auf welche Weise sich seine lyrische Produktion nach 1945 von der früheren unterscheidet und inwieweit sich Parallelen aufzeigen lassen. Dabei findet ein Vergleich seiner Biographie mit der anderer nationalsozialistischer Autoren statt. Die Wirkung seiner Werke in dieser Zeit ist mit einzubeziehen und seine Rolle im kulturpolitischen Geschehen zu untersuchen.Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit möchte ich exemplarisch zeigen, dass Schumann - und er ist kein Einzelfall - als Lyriker und Kulturpolitiker des nationalsozialistischen Regimes zu sehen ist. Schumann gehörte zu einer Generation, die sich in den Dienst eines totalitären Systems stellte und ohne eine fundierte Ausbildung Karriere machte. Seine Lyrik hatte Propagandafunktion und trug dazu bei, das nationalsozialistische Herrschaftssystem zu etablieren und zu stützen. Ich gehe auf Schumanns Erfolg als Dichter ein, vor allem auf die Zeit zwischen 1939 und 1945, da während des Kriegs seine "Kriegs- und Reichslyrik" in hohen Stückzahlen aufgelegt wurde. Zunächst soll die nationalsozialistische Poetik am Beispiel Gerhard Schumanns dargestellt werden. Im Anschluss daran folgt die Thematisierung der frühen Kriegslyrik. Auch folgt ein allgemeines Kapitel zur Poetik des Nationalsozialismus am Beispiel Gerhard Schumanns. Am Ende der Forschungsarbeit gehe ich auf Schumanns Selbstverständnis als nationalsozialistischer Autor und die nationalsozialistische Poetik ein und mache deutlich, dass er einer der "prominenten" nationalsozialistischen Dichter war. Abschließend finden die späte Kriegslyrik und Dramatik Beachtung sowie eine Motivanalyse bezüglich des ´Führerkultes´ und der "Reichsthematik" bezogen auf das Gesamtwerk des Autors wird vorgenommen. Dabei erfolgt ein Vergleich mit der Biographie des Juristen Werner Best, durch den deutlich werden soll, dass die nationalsozialistischen Karrieren in den unterschiedlichen Bereichen Parallelen aufweisen. Die Untersuchung liefert eine Gesamtbibliographie des litearischen und essayistischen Werks, das Schumann vor, während und nach dem Nationalsozialismus verfasste. Auch gebe ich einen Überblick über die relevante Sekundärliteratur zur Gesamtthematik der vorliegenden Arbeit.In my dissertation "Gerhard Schumann - biography. Work. Effekt of a prominent Nazi author" I have described and analysed Gerhard Schumanns biography, work and its effect in the context of historical events in order to give a contribution for the research of National Socialism an his literature. Continuities within the literature of the author before 1933, from 1933 to 1945 and after 1945 will be shown. The main themes and motifs in the work of the author will be identified.Biographie, complete work and the effect of the author Gerhard Schumann has been investigated on the basis of contemporary source material. This exists in form of newspaper articles, letters, legal texts, reference material and others. I made different archives travels in order to sight the material, to collect and evaluate it. I visited the Literature archives in Marbach am Neckar, the Hölderlin archives in Stuttgart, the city and university archives and the archives of Hölderlin society in Tübingen, the Federal Archives in Koblenz with the field offices Lichterfelde Berlin, Freiburg im Breisgau and the main body Koblenz, the Bavarian State Archives in Munic and the archives of the Trade Association of German Book Trade in Frankfurt am Main.After the biography, which shows the chronological life stations of Gerhard Schumann, the analysis follows the work of the poet, in particular its Nazi poetry. This is described, analysed and examined on its effect. Schumann and his work will be classified in the group of Nazi-authors, like Anacker, Baumann, Bethge, Blunck, Euringer, Johst, Schauwecker, Vesper and von Scholz. I give an overview of Schumann´s work and analyse the major works of the author accurate. To take into account is, that Schumann´s work doesn´t exist as complete work, and the analysis only in accordance with the existing single expenditure. This can also lead back, that he hadn´t the degree of popularity, such as Hans Friedrich Blunck, the Blunck society issued a complete work of the author. Within the workshop consideration, in which all the books, Schumann wrote, and considered the main works closer, will analysed the effect of the works - especially the lyrical an dramatic - has taken place. Of significance is the manner, in which his lyrical production after 1945 distinguishes by the former and to show what extent are still parallels. I compare his biography with the biographies of other Nazi authors. The effect was his invention works in this time is involved with his role in the political culture.With this work I give an example, that Schumann, and he is not an isolated case - is to show as a poet and a politician for culture of the Nazi Regime. Schumann belonged to a generation, in the service of the National Socialism, who made without an education a strong career. His poetry had propaganda function and contributed to establish and support the National Socialism. Im going to show Schumann´s success as a poet, especially in the period from 1939 to 1945, during the war, because his ´war and imperial poetry´ existed in large quantities listed sets. So the Nazi poetics Gerhard Schumann presented the Nazi poetics. Following this is the issue of the early "war poetry". Also follows a general chapter on the poetics for National Socialism with the example Gerhard Schumann. At the end of the research work I go to Schumann´s self-image as a Nazi author and to the Nazi poetry and make it clear, that he was one of the ´prominent´ Nazi poets. Finally, the "late war poetry", a drama attention and a motive analysis on the "leadership cult" and "reach issues" to the main work of the author has been given. After that I make a comparison with the biography of the lawyer Werner Best with the clear aim to ensure, that the Nazi careers in different areas had parallels. The study provides a comprehensive bibliography of the literary and essayis work, that Schumann wrote before, during and after the National Socialism. Also I give an overview of the relevant literature to the general theme of this work
