    Exploring Emptiness: An Investigation of MA and MU in My Sonic Composition Practice

    No full text
    The commentary investigates Japanese aesthetics of space, silence and emptiness - ma and mu - that informed my compositional practice during the research period 2012 - 2015. The portfolio comprises text compositions and sound installations in which forms of micro events and sustained events are employed. Throughout, the emphasis is on my personal engagement with, and manifestation of emptiness that concerns a particular model of listening and perception. Chapter 1 discusses six primary research areas: ma and mu, material, text, form, listening and perception. Firstly, I introduce ma and mu by examining noh culture and Zeami's teaching of senu hima (where there is no-action) in the context of my personal approaches to music. The following subjects are then used to contextualise my PhD practice by means of examples from various composers and visual artists. Here, these particular and enigmatic concepts are explored through Japanese art as well as Western contemporary works by Alvin Lucier, Eliane Radigue and those of the Wandelweiser collective. Part 2 provides contextual commentaries on selected compositions from the portfolio that mostly articulate my aesthetics in relation to the topics covered in Chapter 1. koso koso addresses my methodologies to investigate the essence of senu hima, followed by treow that discusses my approach to materials and the importance of space. I move on to grade two and grade two extended in order to examine text scores, and then, look into Espèces d'espaces 03 and 04 as examples of musical forms that I employ. Finally, listening and perception are investigated through the compositions gnome and con.de.structuring. Throughout, I describe how my works explore emptiness as a result of my particular emphasis on listening over composing

    Khairuddin Othman,1 Ahmad Tajudin Liza-Sharmini,1 Mohtar Ibrahim,1 John Tharakan,2 Ryoji Yanai,3 Embong Zunaina1 1Department of Ophthalmology, 2Department of Neurosciences, School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, Malaysia; 3Department of Ophthalmology, Yamaguchi University Graduate School of Medicine, Ube, Yamaguchi, Japan Abstract: Beh&ccedil;et&rsquo;s disease (BD) is a multisystemic disease that is very rare in Malaysia. About 5% of patients develop central nervous system involvement, termed neuro-Beh&ccedil;et&rsquo;s. Neuro-Beh&ccedil;et&rsquo;s is one of the most serious causes of long-term morbidity and mortality. We report two cases of neuro-Beh&ccedil;et&rsquo;s associated with uveitis (ocular BD) highlighting the clinical presentation, diagnostic measurement, and therapeutic management of these cases.Keywords: Beh&ccedil;et&rsquo;s disease, Beh&ccedil;et&rsquo;s syndrome, parenchymal neuro-Beh&ccedil;et&rsquo;s, uveiti

    An Application of Isoelectric Focusing in the Purification of Thiamine-binding Protein of Escherichia coli

    A partially purified thiamine-binding protein preparation was fractionated by isoelectric fractionation and following results were obtained. 1. The isoelectric fractionation could be used as a method of purification of the binding protein with nearly the same efficiency and recovery as those of conventional purification methods, but it took at least 3-5 days for an expriment. 2. The carrier ampholite covering the pH range of 0.7 (pH 5.5-6.2, 40% concentration) was used in a final concentration of 0.7% with a 440 ml column and was found adequate for the fractionation of 240mg of proteins, which had been liberated from E..coli cells by osmotic shock. 3. The carrier ampholite of the pH range of 0.35 (pH 5.88-6.23) was oreoared and used for the binding protein purification. The final concentration of the ampholite was approx. 0.45% and thiamine-binding activity was recovered in two separate groups of fractions. The recovery in the main activity peak was 51 % with 2.2 times purification in the specific activity and could be used as a purification procedure. 4. The carrier ampholite of narrower pH range(0.35 pH) gave a fractionation product of the specific activity of 8.84 nmole/mg from the sample of 3.96 nmole/mg. The carrier ampholite of 0.7 pH range gave a fractionation product of the specific activity of 1.18 nmole/mg from the sample of 0.61 nmole/mg. Those values indicated that the resolving power of the narrower pH range ampholote was superior to the 0.7 pH range ampholite appreciably

    Studies on the enzymatic synthesis of thiamine by Staphylococcus aureus FDA 209-P were carried out and following results were obtained. 1) The active form of pyrimidine was OMP-PP. 2) Free Th as well as its phosphorylated derivatives was sctive as a substrate for the acetone-dried powder of the organisms and the crude enzyme preparation extracted from the powder. 3) Th-P was the most active form of Th for the enzyme preparation with had been purified by the treatment with ammonium sulfate and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The activity of free Th for the partially purefied enzyme was negligible. 4) The reaction products from OMP-PP and Th-P of the purified enzyme preparation were TDP and TMP as examined by paper chromatographic and bioautographic method. 5) The activity of the enzyme was increased by the addition of Mn¨ Mg¨or Cd¨. 6) The rhiamine-synthesizing enzyme was comparatively thermostable
