NABÔKÔ is a sculptural audiovisual instrument of 24 organic shapes, each representing a musical note, assisted by a new technology that reproduces the sound of the sculpture.This new prototype, is a sculptural audiovisual instrument made of 24 organic shapes each representing a musical note. This music-sculptural prototype, allows to create new and unique shapes and sounds, to explore and develop

Every company on the verge of market entry faces a myriad of tough choices. Few are as fateful as which go-to-market strategy a company chooses to establish a foothold, entailing crossroads such as whether to prioritise growth or profitability and how to structure sales. This is the position that the white label insurtech Alpha Insurance find themselves in, with a go-to-market strategy in place bu

This dissertation explores representations of Sweden and Denmark and how immigrants’ place in Sweden and Denmark are represented in instructional materials for adult learners in the period ca. 19602005. Denmark and Sweden are often pitted as opposites in terms of immigrant incorporation, Denmark representing a more assimilatory stance and Sweden that of a sanctioned multiculturalism. Instead of lo

The aim of this work is to use the AquaCrop model for irrigation and water productivity assessment of Table grapes in arid region of Mexico during 2005 and 2006 cropping seasons. The irrigation efficiency was investigated by comparing the irrigation scheduling design used by the farmer to the AquaCrop model recommendations. Data analysis showed that the farmer irrigates almost every day, which res

This report will discuss how principles from the advanced physics of cryogenics influenced my composition Der Rufer for percussion quartet. In this paper I explain how I translated information and concepts from superfluid helium (He II) to music composition. Achieved using different methods ranging from purely intuitive to quasi-quantitative, I transferred the following eight principles from ultra

Lingua-Palatal 1 (1997) utilizes a new model of articulation that uses tongue tip to upper palate constrictions far in excess of traditional phonatory linguistics. It is a teaching piece developed from a new model of articulation that extends the 9-point phonetic model to over fifty points.

SephthThe pieces that comprise Mountains Songs (1995) focus on primarily unvoiced airflow, while the oral cavity is divided into three components--aperture, mid- to rear-cavity, and lingual positioning. These pieces extend what has been commonly referred to as extended vocal techniques by exploring the potential of sound as produced through respiration, p

Sirens (1998) is a tour-de-force of a new vocal style. A real crowd pleaser, this piece calls a pub from Joyce's Sirens the home for Ben Dollard, Stephen Dedaelus, Tom Kernan and Father (Bob) Cowley.

These two volumes of Kosmos (1998) are pedagogical models for the extended vocal techniques performer. Volume 1 has six pieces of various lengths for one to four parts featuring the composer's model of articulation. Volume 2 has fourteen pieces of various lengths for one to four parts dealing with reinforced harmonics. Both volumes can be performed by single players or by a choir.

Taffy Twisters (1998) features an extension of the composer's model of articulation.

In this work, we present a method to fabricate a hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel with spatially controlled cell-adhesion properties based on photo-polymerisation cross-linking and functionalization. The approach utilises the same reaction pathway for both steps meaning that it is user-friendly and allows for adaptation at any stage during the fabrication process. Moreover, the process does not requi

The detection of oligonucleotides is a central step in many biomedical investigations. The most commonly used methods for detecting oligonucleotides often require concentration and amplification before detection. Therefore, developing detection methods with a direct read-out would be beneficial. Although commonly used for the detection of amplified oligonucleotides, fluorescent molecular beacons h

Context. The internal kinematics of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have been studied in unprecedented depth thanks to the excellent quality of the Gaia mission data, thus revealing the disc’s non-axisymmetric structure. Aims. We seek to constrain the LMC bar pattern speed using the astrometric and spectroscopic data from the Gaia mission. Methods. We applied three methods to evaluate the bar pat

Bakgrund Behandlingsriktlinjer omsätter vetenskaplig evidens till praktiska regler. De är en del av sjukvårdens säkerhetsåtgärder och syftar till att göra vården säker, enhetlig, möjliggör kvalitetskontroll och minskar sjukvårdskostnader. Men det är också viktigt att inte förväxla skapande eller hantering av dokument med att hantera faktisk säkerhet. Ett strikt fokus på följsamhet till regler kan Background: Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) translate scientific knowledge into practical rules. They aim to improve safety, ensure consistency, enable quality control, and mitigate rising healthcare costs. CPGs and other written instructions are often the target or result of safety interventions in healthcare, but it is important to avoid the trap of managing documents rather than actual safe

BACKGROUND: The landmark EAT-Lancet Commission proposed that a planetary health diet is comprised mainly of plant-based foods. However, studies examining whether this diet is associated with heart failure (HF) are currently lacking. In addition, the potential proteomics mechanism on the association between diet and HF warrants further elucidation.OBJECTIVES: This study aims to both examine the ass
