A study and catalogue of French flute music written between 1945 and 2008
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 352-368).French contemporary flute works are seldom performed outside France, and most of the composers are relatively unknown to the rest of the world. These works often include new instrumental performance techniques, known as ‘extended techniques’ or avant-garde techniques, which were developed by prominent flute performers in collaboration with composers. The study and performance of works which include extended techniques remain daunting to most South African flautists. Extensive research reveals no existence of a catalogue which represents all French composers and their works for flute after 1945. There is also a great shortage of available literature which prevents flautists, especially outside of Europe, from studying these works. The main objective of this dissertation is to fill this void
Sonatina For Flute and Piano
No full textDescription:
Virginia Taylor and Daniel de Borah - a new work and recording of Sonatina for Flute and Piano by composer Heather Percy. Recorded in Brisbane at Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University.
Research Background:
The collaboration of Virginia Taylor (flute), Daniel de Borah (piano) and Australian composer Heather Percy realised a new work for flute and piano in the form of a “Sonatina for Flute and Piano” The linked movements combine to form a work of over 8 minutes in length. The new work has since been aired nationally on ABC Classic radio. The funding was provided by Taylor and de Borah. Score and parts are available through https://www.heatherpercymusic.com
Research Contribution:
A new and substantial work for flute and piano by an Australian female composer is significant. This research is part of an ongoing project to commission Australian female composers. The new work increases the limited Australian repertoire for flute and piano and reflects a collaboration with a leading female Australian composer. Challenges, due to distances and working with the composer from across different cities were varied. The aim was to achieve a work which would expand, challenge and complement both instruments. Prior to recording, skype, pdf drafts and recordings were shared. The work was workshopped and developed at QCGU in the final days before recording.
Research Significance:
The newly published work received its world premiere recording in December 2019. The work has since received several live performances in Australia. ABC Classic was very keen to have this recording available to them and has featured it on their Breakfast program in 2020. Taylor has several CDs on various labels including Tall Poppies, ABC and Move. This new work will form part of a planned CD which will feature commissions of Australian female composers.No Full Tex
Stability Investigation of long-term operations at FLUTE
No full textAt KIT the new compact and versatile linear-based test facility FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment) is operated. Its primary goal is to serve as a platform for a variety of accelerator R&D studies as well as to generate strong ultra-short THz pulses for photon science. For some studies, for example radiation exposure in material studies, the accelerator is best operated with a continuous and stable electron beam over several hours. In systematic measurements, several parameters of the electron beam were monitored to investigate their stability in different operation settings. The results as well as further optimization opportunities will be presented in this contribution.

The Structure of Scientific Collaboration Networks in Scientometrics
No full textThe structure of scientific collaboration networks in scientometrics was investigated at the level of individuals by using bibliographic data of all papers published in the international journal Scientometrics retrieved from the Science Citation Index (SCI) during 1978 to 2004. Combined analysis of social network analysis (SNA), co-occurrence analysis, cluster analysis and frequency analysis of words was explored to reveal: (1) The microstructure of the collaboration network on scientists’ aspects of scientometrics; (2) The major collaborative fields of the collaborative sub-networks; (3) The collaborative center of the collaboration network in scientometrics
And then there was light: lighting art in flute repertoire
No full textBetween 1971 and 2007, Karlheinz Stockhausen and George Crumb composed twenty-seven works for flute featuring the integration of music and lighting art, according to research conducted as part of this dissertation project. My premiere of I Dream of Coloured Inks for Two Flutes and Computer (2013) by Michael S. Rothkopf became the next contribution to flute and light repertoire; and in an effort to further explore this intermedia art form, I commissioned four new flute compositions by Anna Meadors, Kyle Rowan, Stuart Saunders Smith, and Jacob Thiede. This document provides a narrative of background information, aesthetic discussions, lighting performance guides, and scores for these works. The lighting performance guides are informed by my performance of the compositions and collaboration with their respective composers. Appendices include a list of works for flute and light by Karlheinz Stockhausen, interviews with all five composers, and an interview with George Crumb. Cinematic videos made with the help of audio and visual team Wayne Reich and Ben Singer, along with a cast of performers, are embedded in the document, completing the project. Ultimately, this project serves to facilitate future performances of these flute compositions and inspire the advance of music and light intermedia as a holistic art form
Collaboration in Iranian Scientific Publications
No full textThis study looks at international collaboration in Iranian scientific publications through the ISI Science Citation Index® (SCI) for the years 1995-1999, inclusive. These results are compared to and contrasted with the earlier findings for the periods covering 1985-1994 (Osareh & Wilson 2000). The results of Iran's increasing productivity over a 15-year period are presented. Iran doubled its output in the first two five-year periods and increased 2.8-fold from the second to the third five-year period. The rise in Iran's scientific publication output is due mainly to factors such as the ending of the war, better economic conditions, recent changes in the Iranian government's policy, basic changes in the political environment brought about by the Reformers, expansion of the Iranian presses for national publications, and the recent return of a large number of students trained overseas through government scholarships. External changes also account for the increased productivity, e.g., the acceptance of three Iranian source journals by the SCI, increased access to international databases through the Internet and better electronic communication facilities for international collaboration. One of the most important and significant factors that caused this dramatic rise seems to be the government's research policies in the last few years. Since 1999, the Iran Science, Research and Technology Ministry, has encouraged researchers to publish their non-Farsi language articles in highly ranked international scientific journals, for example, by giving prizes to researchers who publish their articles in ISI-ranked journals
The methodological status of co-authorship networks
No full textA powerful strategy within the study of collaboration
in science is to posit that co-authorship patterns
represent social networks.
It is prerequisite to an application of Social
Network Analysis (SNA) to define the network
entities. A network analysis of the inter-institutional
collaboration in COLLNET on the basis
of co-authorships was conducted. The study reveals
that it is crucial whether the co-authorship
itself is seen as an author's relational property or
as a social event that brings the authors together.
The former possibility is represented by a onemode
network in which each author can be related
to each other author. Quite distinct from
that are two-mode networks, the latter approach.
They consist of two single data sets in which relations
are only possible between different sets.
Different modes of representations require
different network approaches. One is that co-authorship
networks are seen as one-mode networks,
which has the advantage of the application
of a variety of measures. In contrast, twomode
networks, the other option, cannot be analysed
by standard techniques but its distinctive
features demand a new conceptualisation of
measures. In conclusion, the two-mode perspective
is more promising because it allows a dual
perspective on collaboration in science which includes
researchers as well as their scientific output
Co-authorship Network of Scientometrics Research Collaboration
No full textThis paper examines the co-authorship network in the field of scientometrics using social network analysis techniques with the aim of developing an understanding of research collaboration in this scientific community. Using co-authorship data from 3125 articles published in the journal Scientometrics with a time span of more than three decades (1980-2012), we construct an evolving co-authorship network and calculate three centrality measures (closeness, betweenness, and degree) for 3024 authors, 1207 institutions, 68 countries and 22 academic fields in this network. This paper also discusses the usability of centrality measures in author ranking, and suggests that centrality measures can be useful indicators for impact analysis. Findings revealed that scientometrics was not dominated by a couple of key researchers as quite a significant number of popular researchers were identified. The United States occupies the topmost position in all measures except for degree centrality. The most active, central and collaborative academic discipline in scientometrics is Information & Library Science
