"Kontakte - electronic music" sound projection
A performance of Karlheinz Stockhausen's "Kontakte" for four channel tape, using historic sound projection techniques
Removing observational noise from fisheries-independent time series data using ARIMA models
Abundance indices derived from fishery-independent surveys
typically exhibit much higher interannual variability than is consistent with the within-survey variance or the life history of a species. This extra variability is essentially observation noise (i.e. measurement error); it probably
reflects environmentally driven factors that affect catchability over time. Unfortunately, high observation
noise reduces the ability to detect important changes in the underlying population abundance. In our study, a
noise-reduction technique for uncorrelated observation noise that is based on autoregressive integrated moving
average (ARIMA) time series modeling is investigated. The approach is applied to 18 time series of finfish abundance, which were derived from trawl survey data from the U.S.
northeast continental shelf. Although the a priori assumption of a random-walk-plus-uncorrelated-noise model
generally yielded a smoothed result that is pleasing to the eye, we recommend that the most appropriate ARIMA model be identified for the observed time series if the smoothed
time series will be used for further analysis of the population dynamics of a species

Ligeti and Stockhausen: A concert of piano and electronics works from the 195
I curated a concert of piano and electronics pieces including the premiere of my new realisation of Karlheinz Stockhausen's "Studie II.
Optimization of Hot-Electron Bolometers for THz Radiation
Hot-electron bolometers are fast and low noise radiation detectors which can be used for many different applications. The aim of this work was to optimize the fabrication process of hot-electron bolometers and gain a deeper understanding of the underlying processes. To achieve this, the fabrication of the superconducting thin films was optimized and the superconducting properties of the films were analyzed. Detectors fabricated using the results showed a record value for the noise temperature
Developing ODP student placements
In a similar way to nursing and other health professions, elements of the education of operating department practitioners (ODPs) can only be contextualised by clinical practice involvement (Stockhausen and Strutt, 2005; Higginson, 2006; Morgan, 2006). The importance of high-quality placement experiences for all UK health professions is widely acknowledged (Quality Assurance Agency, 2001). Prior to 2009, students on the Diploma in Higher Education ODP programme undertook four clinical placements in the same Trust or organisation. At the time of the project there was a shortfall in the number of placements available and, although the university explored placing students in different clinical areas, such as private healthcare providers and new areas in the NHS, none could provide the full learning experience for students to achieve the required competencies. The course team developed a system that uses placements in a variety of settings and ensures students can gain the required outcomes. The new approach involves auditing for individual placements, instead of for the full course duration. Students are now informed throughout recruitment and selection events that they should be undertaking placements in a minimum of three different organisations. Students now move to a different organisation with every experience, to gain a variety of clinical knowledge. This has resulted in the greater use of clinical placements and the development of new areas for students to gain experience. The benefits of studentsâ experiences have increased, as they can develop skills and understanding of the ODP role from different perspectives

How the implementation of the landing obligation was weakened
This chapter covers the development of provisions and exemptions to the Landing Obligation in the years following the adoption of the Common Fisheries Policy in December 2013. It focuses on the processes leading to certain changes in Article 15, the development of discard plans, and describes reasons for the slow implementation of the Landing Obligation. It provides further insight into why the intention of the objective of the discard ban, the reduction of unwanted catches, has not yet been achieved to its maximum possible extent
The central art depot of the Freiburg city museums
The new depot building was opened in Freiburg and is regarded as being one of the most modern and exemplary depots in Germany. The depot is particularly notable for the fact that it has been constructed relatively cheaply at a cost of 6.9 million EUR including furnishing and land costs. The total floor space is over 5000 square metres. The Freiburg depot is also an ecological building that produces more energy than it uses, a so-called âplus-energy building
