Portfolio of recorded performances and exegesis: Messiaen’s musical language for the jazz pianist - an exploration through performance.
Get PDFMoving beyond Gunther Schuller’s Third Stream amalgamation of classical and jazz, this study explores whether the musical language of Olivier Messiaen can make a valid contribution to jazz piano performance. Initially, my project sought to answer such questions as: What elements of the musical language of Messiaen already exist in the jazz vocabulary? Am I able to extend this further? What are the timbral structures and pianistic effects within Messiaen’s musical language? What will be the most effective application of Messiaen’s musical language to jazz piano performance? Endeavouring to answer the final question led me to consider such aspects as whether the project should be limited to quoting Messiaen motifs, arranging Messiaen melodies, replacing jazz harmonic structures on standards with examples from Messiaen’s musical language or whether it would be better to approach the research conceptually. The work of Hubert Nuss provided encouraging reassurance that this was not an impossible task. In order to articulate this conception, the initial challenge was to decide how the classical and jazz worlds might meet in a ‘Messiaen’ technique. The approach adopted was similar to that used for undergraduate jazz study, namely, immersion in the piano scores and recordings of Messiaen’s music as well as by live performances. This was followed by the development and assessment of a contrived approach when specific techniques, such as tonal colourings or harmonic structures, were developed through prepared exercises and consciously included in my performance. It was then compared with an intuitive approach when no such precise parameters were established. This submission consists of CD recordings of two public recitals and an exegesis. It documents the development of this Messiaen technique and discusses its application in my performances. It also demonstrates the ways that Messiaen’s musical language can be used within jazz piano performance to provide a colour that distinguishes jazz piano performance in a competitive field.Thesis (M.Mus.) -- University of Adelaide, Elder Conservatorium of Music, 201

Get PDFThe study of Murine double minute-2 (Mdm2) in regulating neuronal activity-dependent protein translation
Get PDFThe plasticity of synaptic connection is crucial for establishing proper neural circuit excitability throughout development stages, and serves an essential role in maintaining excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance in the central nervous system. In this thesis, I discovered potential signaling pathways that contribute to neuronal excitability regulation upon various external stimuli.
In Chapter II, I focused on determining the underlying molecular pathways that elevate neuronal excitability upon activating Group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (Gp1 mGluRs). While multiple mechanisms have been identified that contribute to elevating local synaptic translation efficiency, it remains largely unknown how Gp1 mGluR-mediated signaling regulates general protein translation. We identified a novel function of Murine double minute 2 (Mdm2), an ubiquitin E3 ligase, which is involved in the Gp1 mGluR-mediated translational control and activation leads to the elevation of neural activity. Using a fragile X syndrome (FXS) mouse model, we demonstrated this phenomenon is modulated by FMRP-dependent Mdm2 down-regulation. This study provides a possible direction for rescuing the dysregulated Gp1 mGluR signaling observed in fragile X syndrome patients.
In Chapter III, my research focuses on understanding the novel functions of Mdm2 in regulating protein translation under cellular stress conditions. While studies have previously shown that seizures could induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, I determined how acute ER stress response modulates neuronal excitability and seizure severity. Mechanistically, we found that these beneficial effects are mediated by elevated protein translation, which is triggered by the activation of Mdm2-p53 signaling, during the early ER stress response. Our findings suggest that therapeutic attempts to reduce ER stress in epilepsies may result in worsening seizure activity and therefore caution against inhibition of ER stress as a neuroprotective strategy for epilepsies.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-12-01The student, Dai-Chi (Debby) Liu, accepted the attached license on 2019-10-29 at 10:40.The student, Dai-Chi (Debby) Liu, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-10-29 at 10:41.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-11-01 at 15:52.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14504 on 2020-02-28 at 17:21:09Made available in DSpace on 2020-03-02T22:12:11Z (GMT).

The Curtains: On the Private-Public Street Boundary
No full textProbing into the parameters of a ‘wall’, this project seeks to empower the boundary wall in reactivating street life along the private-public street boundary, where front-yards were originally planned but now missing. In Teusaquillo of Bogota, people have regretfully took ‘walls’ as mere devices to define territories. Yet, there are latent potentials embedded in these boundary walls that could support more vibrant streetscape. Unlocked by investigating a ‘wall’ through urban ecology and etymology, findings are translated into an architectural intervention that evokes search for meaningfulness and integration between the school boundary walls and the neighbourhood. As an incremental result from a parallel process of research and design, a new series of ‘urban curtains’ challenges the monotonous definition of school boundary walls which are ubiquitous in Teusaquillo. Various actors would explore their own interpretation of this seam between school and street, by operating each layer of curtain. Built to activate urban life, the ‘urban curtain’ is also advocating a new type of ‘co-operative security’ that initiates public surveillance, in opposition to a passive security device imposed by the school authority. Within this seam, is an inconspicuous yet sensitive testing ground that embodies how the author, as an architect, could craft capacity for an equivocal built environment.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Science

ABSTRACT
The problems found in male students of class VIII2 of SMP Negeri I Rambah Rokan Hulu District. that the results of the sprint run achieved by students are still not optimal, this is because the practice of watching too much does not make students take it seriously. Students are lazy, students are bored, students are stiff. From the students 'running techniques such as swinging their hands with foot movements less harmoniously, besides the coordination of the students' running movements were not maximal, so that when students ran, the coordination between swinging hands and feet still looked stiff and made the student's running speed reduced, beside seen from the leg muscle strength that students have, so to create the maximum running speed results, students always have to practice the variation training method and the strength of the leg muscles. The aims of this study was to determine the effect of the variation training method, leg muscle strength on the results of the 100-meters sprint in class VIII2 of SMP Negeri I Rambah Rokan Hulu Regency, Indonesian Country.
The type of research is Pseudo Experiment. The population is all male students of class VIII2 of SMP Negeri I Rambah, Rokan Hulu Regency with a population of 14 male students, with the sampling technique being total sampling or taking the entire population of male students of class VIII2 in SMP Negeri I Rambah, 14 people in Rokan Hulu Regency. The instrument used in this study was to measure leg muscle strength by using the leg dynamometer test and to measure the run of students a 100-meters run test was conducted.
The results of the study and analysis of the data showed that (1) the form of training methods for the variation of limb explosive strength significantly affected the increase of 100 meters runner effect of 8.11, it can be concluded that there was influence of leg muscle strength on the results of 100 meter sprints in male students class VIII2 State Middle School I Rambah Rokan Hulu Regency (2) the form of exercise using the power of explosive limb muscle power has a significant effect on the ability of the 100 meters running 9.07 (3) there is a difference in the effect of variation training with the explosive strength of leg muscle 0.96.

Menstrual cycle monitoring, application and implementation
No full textThe menstrual cycle has been suggested to directly influence player health, performance and competitive success. Consequently, tailoring training regimens according to menstrual cycle phase is gaining traction, even though it currently needs robust empirical validation. Notwithstanding this limitation, it remains evident that the menstrual cycle phase and associated symptoms have the potential to influence an individual’s adaptation to training. Furthermore, the menstrual cycle is fundamental when determining adherence to training protocols and active participation in training sessions. Incorporating menstrual cycle phase-specific adjustments into training strategies holds promise for optimising athletic training and performance throughout the cycle. To embark on this endeavour, integration of the menstrual cycle phase and its associated factors (i.e. symptoms) into monitoring protocols emerges as a prudent first step. Nevertheless, this pursuit is accompanied by strengths and weaknesses that warrant consideration. Understanding the precise timing, content, target demographic and methodologies is paramount to executing monitoring effectively. Increasing knowledge dissemination, fostering open communication and seamlessly integrating the menstrual cycle into daily training routines are as straightforward as wellbeing monitoring and building environments, where the player is not being asked where they are in the cycle but more of how they are due to their current menstrual cycle sensitivity
