'Das gantze Corpus derer musicirenden Personen': An Introduction to German 'Hofkapellen'
No full textWHAT WAS MUSICAL LIFE at German courts really like during the first six decades of the eighteenth century? Securing a permanent post in a court music establishment could mean job security, as well as a steady income and a host of other benefits – such as Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Philipp Telemann had enjoyed in Weimar and Köthen and in Eisenach respectively prior to their appointments in the Freie Reichstädte(Imperial Free Cities) of Leipzig and Hamburg. And yet despite the fact that the political landscape of what we now call Germany featured countless small-to-medium-sized courts similar to those experienced first-hand by Bach and Telemann, general music histories tend to focus on the Hofkapellen of Berlin and Dresden, primarily because of an interesting connection to the Thomaskantor and his oeuvre.In his pioneering study of court society during the early modern period, the sociologist Norbert Elias noted that the term ‘court’ changed its meaning depending on the period. Different types of court emerged in the German-speaking lands of the Holy Roman Empire during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries; the historian Volker Bauer has categorized these as the ‘zeremonieller Hof’ (ceremonial court), the ‘geselliger Hof’ (sociable court), the ‘Musenhof’ (court of muses), the ‘Kaiserhof'’ (imperial court), and the ‘hausväterlicher Hof’. Similarly, John Spitzer and Neal Zaslaw have concluded that ‘orchestras … meant many things to many people, and their meanings changed over time’
Induction of cytokine receptors by glucocorticoids: functional and pathological significance.
No full textCurrent concepts on the role of glucocorticoid hormones in the regulation of inflammatory and immune responses depict this role as being inhibitory. Over the past decade, however, a large variety of studies have shown that glucocorticoids also exert stimulatory effects on immune function, suggesting that the present concept of the role of glucocorticoids in the immune system in not sufficient and needs to be extended. Here, Jan Wiegers and Hans Reul ask how these apparently paradoxical effects fit together and what their functional and pathological significance might be.</p

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

'Bach and the <em>Thomaskantorat', </em><em>Discussing Bach </em>3 (October, 2021)
No full textThis is the third issue of the Bach Network multimedia open access publication, edited by Ruth Tatlow and Barbara M. Reul.This issue is about the competition that eventually led to J.S. Bach's appointment as Thomaskantor in Leipzig. But what happened before he was chosen? Who did the town council approach first, and why? And why did the forerunners decline? Four experts, Steven Zohn (Telemann), Michael Maul (Bach), Barbara Reul (Fasch), and Ursula Kramer (Graupner), use latest source studies and ideas to discuss how the story unfolded and ideas about other possible outcomes. You can watch the thirty-minute video (with English subtitles) on YouTube and at https://bachnetwork.org/discussing-bach where you can also read and download all the documentation. Two new articles, by Zohn and Reul, were commissioned especially for this issue. This open access publication is free to download and share with colleagues, music lovers and to use in teaching where appropriate. The first two issues of Discussing Bach are on the topics of ‘Bach and Emotion’ (2020) and ‘Bach and Jesus (2021),</p
Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses
No full textFollowing an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied
