Incidence des développements du paramètre harmonique sur la périodisation et la structuration formelle des mélodies de Serge Garant

La version intégrale de ce mémoire est disponible uniquement pour consultation individuelle à la Bibliothèque de musique de l’Université de Montréal (www.bib.umontreal.ca/MU).Parmi les compositeurs québécois de la génération née dans les années 1920, Serge Garant (1929-1986) est souvent considéré comme l’un des représentant les plus radicaux de la modernité musicale. Les mélodies pour voix et piano, un genre auquel le compositeur consacre le plus grand nombre de pièces dans les premières années de sa carrière, se prêtent particulièrement bien à une analyse des explorations des idiomes dodécaphonique et sériel suite à l’abandon du système tonal. Lefebvre et Provost associent le début de la maturité du compositeur aux Caprices (1954), un cycle de mélodies où l’écriture sérielle est employée comme dans la majeure partie de la production ultérieure de Garant. Le degré d’adéquation entre la forme musicale et la structure littéraire des poèmes utilisés, ainsi que le type de mise en musique de ces derniers permettent de constater que les deux syntaxes ont chacune été utilisées de part et d’autre de l’année charnière 1954. Le fait que des éléments de la maturité musicale de Garant soient déjà présents dans des pièces remontant à 1951 permet finalement de nuancer le processus qui mena à l’affirmation de son langage.Among the generation of composers born in the 1920s, Serge Garant (1929-1986) is usually seen as one of the most radical figures of contemporary music. His art songs for voice and piano, the genre in which he composed most of the pieces of the beginning of his career, lend themselves well to the analysis of his explorations of dodecaphonic and serial idioms that followed his abandonment of tonality. Lefebvre and Provost associate the maturity of the composer with Garant's composition of the Caprices (1954), an art song cycle in which he used serialism, as he would in most of his later works. The close relationship between musical form and poetic structure, as well as the type of text setting provide evidence of the presence of a particular musical syntax both before and after 1954. The fact that maturity elements are already present in works written as early as 1951 helps us to understand the process that lead to the composer’s mature language

Periodicals Collection Management: Organizing, Creating, and Maintaining a System

This paper examines Providence College’s experience in organizing, creating, and implementing the library’s collection management system, including how and why we chose Microsoft Access®, involved non-periodicals library staff in each phase, worked with existing periodicals information to form the basis for the collection management system, decided which information/fields to include, and retrieved/compiled the necessary information about each title by comparing our existing records to what was physically on the shelf. We also discuss how we used the collection management system to solicit input into collection management decisions such as cancellations and retention, create detailed reports with a variety of information, provide the information required for the periodicals integration project that combined the previously separate humanities and science collections into one collection as part of the library renovation project, manage the temporary division of the collection into three locations as part of the library renovation project, and assist academic departments in managing periodical titles in their respective areas

Proteome data to explore the impact of pBClin15 on Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579

AbstractThis data article reports changes in the cellular and exoproteome of B. cereus cured from pBClin15.Time-course changes of proteins were assessed by high-throughput nanoLC-MS/MS. We report all the peptides and proteins identified and quantified in B. cereus with and without pBClin15. Proteins were classified into functional groups using the information available in the KEGG classification and we reported their abundance in term of normalized spectral abundance factor. The repertoire of experimentally confirmed proteins of B. cereus presented here is the largest ever reported, and provides new insights into the interplay between pBClin15 and its host B. cereus ATCC 14579. The data reported here is related to a published shotgun proteomics analysis regarding the role of pBClin15, “Deciphering the interactions between the Bacillus cereus linear plasmid, pBClin15, and its host by high-throughput comparative proteomics” Madeira et al. [1]. All the associated mass spectrometry data have been deposited in the ProteomeXchange Consortium (http://proteomecentral.proteomexchange.org) via the PRIDE partner repository (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/), with the dataset identifier PRIDE: PXD001568, PRIDE: PXD002788 and PRIDE: PXD002789

Neutron Correlations in the Decay of the First Excited State of 11Li

The decay of unbound excited 11Li was measured after being populated by a two-proton removal from a 13B beam at 71 MeV/nucleon. Decay energy spectra and Jacobi plots were obtained from measurements of the momentum vectors of the 9Li fragment and neutrons. A resonance at an excitation energy of ∼1.2 MeV was observed. The kinematics of the decay are equally well fit by a simple dineutron-like model or a phase-space model that includes final state interactions. A sequential decay model can be excluded

Ultrafast all-optical switching and error-free 10 Gbit/s wavelength conversion in hybrid InP-silicon on insulator nanocavities using surface quantum wells

International audienceUltrafast switching with low energies is demonstrated using InP photonic crystal nanocavities embedding InGaAs surface quantum wells heterogeneously integrated to a silicon on insulator waveguide circuitry. Thanks to the engineered enhancement of surface non radiative recombination of carriers, switching time is obtained to be as fast as 10 ps. These hybrid nanostructures are shown to be capable of achieving systems level performance by demonstrating error free wavelength conversion at 10 Gbit/s with 6 mW switching powers

Dual Magnetic Separator for TRIμ\muP

The TRI$\mu$P facility, under construction at KVI, requires the production and separation of short-lived and rare isotopes. Direct reactions, fragmentation and fusion-evaporation reactions in normal and inverse kinematics are foreseen to produce nuclides of interest with a variety of heavy-ion beams from the superconducting cyclotron AGOR. For this purpose, we have designed, constructed and commissioned a versatile magnetic separator that allows efficient injection into an ion catcher, i.e., gas-filled stopper/cooler or thermal ionizer, from which a low energy radioactive beam will be extracted. The separator performance was tested with the production and clean separation of $^{21}$Na ions, where a beam purity of 99.5% could be achieved. For fusion-evaporation products, some of the features of its operation as a gas-filled recoil separator were tested.Comment: accepted by Nucl.Instr. Meth., final versio

Genetic parameters for milk, fat and protein yields in Murrah buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis Artiodactyla, Bovidae)

The objective of the present study was to estimate genetic parameters for test-day milk, fat and protein yields and 305-day-yields in Murrah buffaloes. 4,757 complete lactations of Murrah buffaloes were analyzed. Co-variance components were estimated by the restricted maximum likelihood method. The models included additive direct genetic and permanent environmental effects as random effects, and the fixed effects of contemporary group, milking number and age of the cow at calving as linear and quadratic covariables. Contemporary groups were defined by herd-year-month of test for test-day yields and by herd-year-season of calving for 305-day yields. The heritability estimates obtained by two-trait analysis ranged from 0.15 to 0.24 for milk, 0.16 to 0.23 for protein and 0.13 to 0.22 for fat, yields. Genetic and phenotypic correlations were all positive. The observed population additive genetic variation indicated that selection might be an effective tool in changing population means in milk, fat and protein yields
