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.

The Effects of Mutualism with Ants on Antianthe Expansa, A Neo-Tropical Treehopper (Membracidae: Homoptera)
No full textvi, 25 p.Interactions between membracids and ants are highly variable.
Mutualism may significantly increase membracid survivorship and
the magnitude of the increase may depend on the species of
attendant ant. This study examines the mutualism between
Antianthe expansa and several species of ants at a study site in
Monteverde, Costa Rica. Differences among behaviors of attendant
ant species were observed and quantified. A census of twenty host
plants demonstrated that Pheidole sp. maintain significantly higher
ant to membracid ratios than Crematogaster nigropilosa,
Myrmelachista zeledoni, or Pheidole biconstricta (t-test, p<0.05).
Furthermore, Pheidole were shown to be more aggressive than C.
nigropilosa in driving off potential competitors of A. expansa.
Pheidole attacked and dismantled adults of Alchisme grossa, a nontended
membracid, which were pinned to the host plants, while C.
nigropilosa ignored the intruders. A survivorship study was carried
out to compare mortality of nymphs on tended plants with mortality
of nymphs on plants from which ants had been excluded. T-tests
between regression coefficients of survivorship plots showed
significantly higher (p<0.0l) survival rates on tended plants, with
aggregations tended by Pheidole showing higher survival rates than
others. In conclusion, mutualism with ants can significantly increase
A. expansa survival rates. Pheidole ants, by virtue of maintaining
greater ant to membracid ratios and greater aggression toward
competitors and predators of A. expansa, cause a greater increase In
survivorship than the other ants found at the study site.San Jose, Costa Rica.Diebold Scholars Progra
