The Extra-Normal Voice

This chapter presents an overview of new developments in vocal exploration. Beginning with a discussion of multiple parameters involved in voice production, this chapter identifies the crucial role that non-linear phenomena has in the performance of the extra-normal voice. In this article, two related taxonomies are presented (source production related to degree of voicing; emphases within the aco

Facile synthesis of fatty acid esters in high yields

The facile synthesis of esters by lipase-catalysed esterification of fatty acids and ethanol is demonstrated. Evaporation of the water generated in the reaction allowed the rapid production of esters of >99% yield in refluxing pentane or hexane. Water was trapped by condensing the refluxing vapor phase and passing it over activated molecular sieves in a reflux trap. High yields were rapidly obtain

Organic solvent changes the chymotrypsin specificity with respect to nucleophiles

In α-chymotrypsin-catalyzed acyl-transfer reactions in water the specificity of the enzyme (the nucleophile reactivity of amino acid amides) is correlated with the substrate hydrophobicity and increases as the hydrophobicity of the side chain of the amino acid amides is increased. In a low water system (4% H2O) bulky amino acid amides are less efficient nucleophiles. The specificity of α-chymotryp
