Abstract:
In recent decades singers of Handel’s music have made great strides in recapturing the art of embellishing his music, thus breathing new life into forms such as the da capo aria. Yet Handel’s own “variations”—his development and transformation of musical material in his vocal music, important for understanding his compositional practice with borrowed as well as (presumably) original music—are not yet fully explored or appreciated. Admittedly, scholars have discussed musical procedures such as inserting, deleting, and reordering musical materials, as well as other Baroque combinatorial practices in Handel’s arias, but the musical transformations I discuss here are closer to a specifically Handelian brand of developing variation. To my knowledge, the concept of developing variation has never before been applied to early eighteenth-century music. I explore the relation of developing variation to drama (also rarely done) in two of Handel’s arias, providing a close examination of “Ombre, piante” from the opera Rodelinda and new thoughts about “Lament not thus,” originally intended for the oratorio Belshazzar. Although these arias belong to different genres and different stages of Handel’s career, they both exhibit material that undergoes a kind of progressive variation process that has tangible musical and dramatic ramifications, of interest to opera specialists and performers. Furthermore, both arias have a complicated compositional history; I offer fresh insights into the aesthetic qualities of each version, thereby throwing light on Handel’s possible compositional intentions. This article also discloses for the first time some recurring musical passages shared between “Lament not thus” and other pieces that could influence the listener’s interpretation of certain musico-dramatic gestures.

Abstract:
Sumerian lexical and literary compositions both emerged from the same social sphere, namely scribal education. The complexities of inter-compositional dependence in these two corpora have not been thoroughly explored, particularly as relevant to questions of text-building during the Old Babylonian period (c. 1800–1600 bce). Copying practices evident in lexical texts indicate that students and scholars adopted various methods of replication, including visual copying, copying from memory, and ad hoc innovation. They were not confined to reproducing a received text. Such practices extend to copying literary compositions. A study of compositions from Advanced Lexical Education in comparison with several literary compositions shows a complex inter-dialectic between the corpora, in which lexical compositions demonstrate dependence on literary compositions and vice versa. Thus, Old Babylonian students and scholars could experiment with multiple text-building practices, drawing on their knowledge of the lexical and the literary, regularly creating new versions of familiar compositions.

Abstract:
Small berries are considered to produce the best red wines as berry size determines the skin to pulp ratio and may affect wine composition. However, contrasting results have been reported about this postulate. In this context, the aim of this work was to assess the influence of berry size on grape compositional attributes in ‘Tempranillo’ grapevines under different irrigation, crop load and defoliation regimes. Grapes were collected from different experiments performed during three years in a ‘Tempranillo’ vineyard (Valencia, Spain). Grape size distribution was assessed and several traits were measured for each size category: number of seeds, seed and skin weight, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, pH, total phenolic index and anthocyanin concentration. Berry size exerted a significant effect on grape composition; smaller berries having higher sugars and anthocyanins concentrations. However, irrigation, crop load and defoliation also affected these compositional traits, producing greater berries with similar traits than those smaller, but coming from rain-fed and not defoliated treatments. Depending on the field practices applied, grape compositional attributes can be modulated for a given berry size. Therefore, wineries can use berry size classification for selecting those from a given size for making different wine styles.

This article is an exploration of how genres and practices of electroacoustic soundmaking are gendered, examining processes of gendering in language used in the early dichotomous categorization betweenmusique concrèteandelektronische Musik,then thinking about related arguments concerning abstraction, context, and compositional control in the writings of electroacoustic soundmakers including Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Boulez, Daphne Oram, Pauline Oliveros, and several participants of the In and Out of the Sound Studio project. Analysis of their practices and ideas suggests different ways of conceptualising electroacoustic genres, their related practices, and roles of contemporary electroacoustic soundmakers (composers, artists, producers, mixers, audiences...), by examining the potentials of the concepts ofempathetic knowledgeandecologicalthinkingadvanced by feminist epistemologist Lorraine Code.

Abstract:
This article introduces the concept of ‘situated composition’, examining it in relation to developments in mobile sound production technologies and practices. Situated composition draws attention to the specific circumstances in which sound production and compositional activity take place. With mobile devices and apps offering heightened mobility and ease-of-use, ways of working with sound increasingly may be undertaken in a wide range of contexts outside of controlled environments specifically designed for sound work such as studios. Situated composition emphasises the interconnections between the situation in which composition unfolds and the process of composition, approaching composition as inherently distributed and collaborative in multiple ways. This article begins by considering how to situate mobile audio production apps, then moves on to elaborate the concept of situated composition and investigate specific practices. Drawing primarily on interviews carried out with fourteen composers, sound artists, musicians and producers who use mobile devices and apps in their sound work, as well as on podcasts, forums and my own work as a sound artist, I identify seven approaches to using mobile interfaces, focusing particularly on practitioners’ relationships with the surroundings where compositional activity unfolds.

Abstract:
This article documents the evolution of the ‘Instruments INDIA’ project, which led to the creation of an online sound archive of Indian musical instruments. Recording work with approximately 27 musicians provided material for this interactive resource (which functions as an educational tool and concertgoer's guide), and also for compositional work, where culturally tied sound material formed the basis for two new works; Javaari (acousmatic) and New shruti (mixed work) for sarod and electronics. Trialling a variety of methods for gathering and then subsequently integrating sounds from Indian musical instruments into electroacoustic compositions provided a framework for the exploration of hybridity and intercultural sound interactions, while observing the translation and transference of highly emblematic sounds from one musical tradition to the next also led to unique artistic and theoretical outcomes. Curatorial decisions made with my project partners, Milapfest (the UK's leading Indian Arts Development Trust) regarding the participating musicians and their sound contributions posed further considerations for the representative quality of each instrument showcased on the archive. Gathering appropriate material for users of the archive (young learners, audience members and interested laypeople) while capturing sounds suitable for compositional purposes presented new challenges within the recording environment. Further complexities surfaced when this challenge was coupled with a lesser degree of familiarity with instrument capabilities, playing styles and cultural traditions. This unique collaboration with cultural sounds and performance practices raised questions about my compositional intentions, cross-cultural borrowing, respectful practice, and the unavoidable undertones of cultural appropriation and colonial attitude.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractAccanto (1975–6), for clarinettist and orchestra, constitutes a turn towards historical reflection in the work of the distinguished German composer Helmut Lachenmann, providing a meeting point for the practitioner and the theorist. This article examines how Accanto's dialogue with Mozart's Clarinet Concerto relates to topics such as recording conventions, performance practices, and compositional trends, particularly in the 1970s. It also demonstrates how Lachenmann's conception of musical material is rooted in an understanding of the Western art music tradition, especially with regard to the issue of the ‘language-character’ of music. In doing so, it investigates Lachenmann's aesthetics of beauty in connection with performance practices, sociological models of musical subjectivity, and Adorno's understanding of tradition. In general, the article argues that compositional practice in Accanto is shaped in response to the situation of classical music, especially in the 1970s.

Abstract:
Philip Larkin used the image of Winston Smith's blank notebook in George Orwell's 1984 to illustrate the excitement experienced by the writer faced with an as yet unwritten text. He explains that: the books the past has given usare printed; they are magnificent, but they are finite. Only the blank book, the manuscript book, may be the book we shall give the future. Its potentialities are endless. This study of 'poetry in process' will compare the 'compositional practices' of three twentieth century poets in order to come closer to understanding the means by which poems are written. One conclusion which is perhaps inevitable from such a comparative study as this is that there is not a single approach to writing a poem. Each poet has idiosyncratic habits.

Abstract:
Distribution through electronic media provides an avenue for promotion, recognition and an outlet of display for graphic designers. The emergence of available media technologies have enabled graphic designers to extend these boundaries of their practice. In this context the designer is constantly striving for aesthetic success and is strongly influenced by the fashion and trends of contemporary design work. The designer is always in a state of inquiry, finding pathways of discovery that lead to innovation and originality that are highly valued criteria for self-evaluation. This research is based on an analysis of the designer perspective and the processes used within an active graphic design practice specializing entirely within a digital collage domain. Contemporary design methodologies were critically examined, compared and refined to reflect the self-practice of the researcher. The refined methodology may assist designers in maintaining systematic work practices, as well as promote the importance of exploration and experimentation processes. Research findings indicate some differences in the identified methodologies and the design practice of the researcher in the sense that many contemporary designers are not confined to a client-base but are self-generating design images influenced by contemporary practitioners. As well as confirming some aspects of more conventional design processes, the researcher found that accidental discoveries and the designer’s interaction with technology plays a significant part in the design process.

Abstract:
In 1984 and 1985 visual differences in frost damage were observed among 40 jojoba clones growing in a field in Tucson, Arizona. More detailed data were collected on the clone with the least damage (Clone-1) and the one with the most damage (Clone-2). On 10-ten terminal branch samples, Clone-1 showed an average of 12% leaf damage compared to 35% for Clone-2. Leaf freezing under controlled conditions on a monthly schedule showed that leaves of Clone-1 consistently froze at a lower temperature than Clone-2. Also, a second exotherm occurred in 50% of the samples for Clone-1 whereas a second exotherm occurred in only 15% of the samples of Clone-2. Soil moisture content and plant water potential were measured biweekly. Neither seemed to relate to the differences in freezing tolerance of the two clones. Total nonstructural carbohydrates (TNC), total soluble sugars, sucrose and proline were determined monthly. Accumulation patterns of TNC were similar for the two clones, however, Clone-1 generally accumulated more soluble sugars, sucrose and proline which might have contributed to its freezing tolerance. Growth measurements were recorded monthly to determine whether differences occurred between the two clones. Growth of both clones peaked in the spring, showed minor peaks in summer and ceased in winter. Under greenhouse conditions, pot grown cuttings from Clone-1 and Clone-2 were given zero, six or 12 gm of Osmocote fertilizer and watered at 35 or 70% field capacity to determine the effect of irrigation and fertilization on leaf freezing point. Fertilization significantly increased leaf concentrations of N and P and produced more growth. In the greenhouse study, no differences were found in leaf freezing point due to clones, irrigation or fertilization treatment. Leaves of Clone-1 froze at a higher temperature compared to field grown plants.

Full text
Abstract:
Jean-Michel Defaye composed Á La Maniére de Debussy in 2001 as part of a series of trombone solos written to emulate the compositional styles of significant predecessors. This study compares Á La Maniére de Debussy to the harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic practices of Claude Debussy (1862–1918), an innovative French composer and recognized figure of musical Impressionism. At present, there is limited scholarship on Defaye’s Á La Maniére de Debussy and its compositionally imitative nature. The first section of this document presents a survey of historical information, current literature, and methods of examination. The second section provides biographical information on composers Jean-Michel Defaye and Claude Debussy. The third section exhibits a compositional comparison of Á La Maniére de Debussy to Debussy’s use of harmony, melody, and rhythm. The final section draws a conclusion to the piece’s importance to the trombone solo repertoire and includes an interview with French trombonist Jacques Mauger who collaborated with Defaye on Á La Maniére de Debussy. Although this document is not a performance guide, an informed performance of Á La Maniére de Debussy requires a trombonist to understand Debussy’s unique treatment of harmony, melody, and rhythm.

Abstract:
Composition as an art form often struggles with effectively communicating the initial idea that triggered the creation of the work via performance. The works included in this PhD submission and the reflection of my approach to composition included in this commentary, outline the various ways that I have attempted to address this issue by engaging with the main research question: How can the concept and composition process of the artistic work be communicated to the audience and what creative compositional opportunities does this offer? This PhD contains 13 works that share an expanded view of composition that considers not only sound but also visual and performative elements, where the whole process from initial idea to the performance forms the artistic work. This suggests a more holistic approach to composition where the audience members are given access to the whole artistic work via the performance. The works produced are extremely diverse, due to the direct relation of the whole composition process to a concept. By considering how I make decisions and what those decisions communicate, I have found that when all decisions in the composition process are informed by the concept, the concept becomes embodied in the performance and thus communicates the idea that triggered the creation of the work to the audience. Communicating the idea thus becomes a compositional concern and forms additional material for the work. Composing the communication of the idea and making it inherent in the performance offers huge artistic potential. It need not be restricted by traditional formats, such as programme notes or pre-concert talks, but can be much more playful, directly relevant and integrated within the artistic work.

Abstract:
Abstract 'Quality' of greenhouse and hydroponic produce implies suitability for a particular purpose or the degree to which certain set standards are met. Aspects of produce quality may encompass sensory properties (appearance, texture, taste and aroma), nutritive values, chemical constituents, mechanical properties, functional properties and defects. Quality standards and testing methods have been developed for most commercial crops to help ensure consumers receive produce of a suitable standard. These quality standards can range from basic grading for removal of damaged produce and for size, shape, weight and overall appearance, to analytical testing for compositional factors such as acidity, volatiles, dry matter, starch and sugars, toxins, vitamins and minerals, and others. This chapter discusses the components of crop quality, quality improvement, cultural practices to improve greenhouse produce quality (nutrient solution electrical conductivity levels, salinity and deficit irrigation), environmental conditions (including light and temperature) affecting quality of greenhouse crops, role of genetics in the quality of greenhouse-grown produce, microbial quality and food safety. Different quality testing and grading methods are described such as colour analysis, total soluble solids (Brix) testing, sensory evaluation of compositional quality, volatiles testing (aroma), texture and firmness quality assessment.

Abstract:
Since the advent of real-time computer music environments, composers have increasingly incorporated DSP analysis, synthesis, and processing algorithms in their creative practices. Those processes became part of interactive systems that use real-time computational tools in musical compositions that explore diverse techniques to generate, spatialize, and process instrumental/vocal sounds. Parallel to the development of these tools and the expansion of DSP methods, new techniques focused on sound/musical information extraction became part of the tools available for music composition. In this context, this article discusses the creative use of Machine Listening and Musical Information Retrieval techniques applied in the composition of live-electronics works. By pointing out some practical applications and creative approaches, we aim to circumscribe, in a general way, the strategies for employing Machine Listening and Music Information Retrieval techniques observed in a set of live-electronics pieces, categorizing four compositional approaches: namely, mapping, triggering, scoring, and procedural paradigms of application of machine listening techniques in the context of live-electronics music compositions.

Abstract:
"This paper is written in response to the request to consider musical experiences at Western Classical Music concerts, and more specifically, the role of the program note that informs listeners and performers about the historical context of the composition and includes the composers’ biographical details and compositional thinking. Program notes are similar to reading the “spoilers” before seeing movies. What follows is based on observations and reflections from the Tainan University of Technology (TUT), Taiwan, and its educators’ experiences of teaching graduate music students. The idea put forward is that the content of the program note reflects the performers’ interpretations of the composer’s ideas, and access to this note provides an opportunity for music educators to reconfigure and strengthen their pedagogical approaches. By recognizing the intended role of the program note and its relation to the interpretation, understanding, and collaboration in music course curricula, music educators continue to grow in their range of practices. Knowing a composer’s intention can be used to develop the performance of the composition and understand the genre and cultural/social/historical/political connections of the composer and composition, thus providing useful experiences for music students."

Abstract:
The present research focuses on the Sensorial Design approach applied to the teaching-learning of artistic drawing. The Sensorial Design is subsidized by the SEE BEYOND method [LIMA JR. G.C.; ZUANON, R. 2017-2019], which is based on cognitive-behavioral neuroscience and neuroeducation studies to develop and apply didactic-pedagogical and didactic-andragogics resources aimed at teaching and learning of Design by students with and without visual impairment. In this approach, the practice of drawing is understood as an intrinsic element to the mental mechanisms of human beings and acting in their sensorimotor, cognitive and behavioral evolution. This is because through the lines, textures, colors and other compositional elements present in the drawing practice, it is possible to elaborate or express affections and materialize emotions, sensations and thoughts, which are experienced in the mind and experienced in the body as a whole. From this understanding, the approach between the fields of artistic drawing and cognitive-behavioral neuroscience is natural. In the context of higher education, specifically in Visual Arts, the cooperation between the fields of drawing, neuroscience and neuroeducation is shown to be capable of equipping educators with pedagogical practices that contribute to the formation of contemporary artists, especially with regard to the achievement of a poetic-artistic and authorial project expression. The activities carried out from the practical approach of Sensorial Design seek to question the protagonism of vision by sensitizing and enhancing the other senses. In this process, hearing, tasting, smelling, and touching also gain prominence in the formation of mental images, unlike other teaching-learning methods in which this protagonism focuses only on vision. The Sensorial Design approach is developed in the context of higher education in Visual Arts and applied in the Artistic Drawing I and II disciplines, which are part of the Visual Arts undergraduate course’s curriculum at the University of Campinas, since 2019. Through of student’s somatosensory and sensorimotor stimulations, the classes address several thematic axes fundamental to the field of artistic drawing practice, which are at the base of most artistic drawing teaching programs in Brazil for example: line, contour, filling, figure, ground, movement and rhythm. From this global stimulation of the senses, students are encouraged to expand their perceptive limits and their creative processes while expanding their sensory repertoires. Furthermore, the Sensorial Design approach corroborates the rupture of pre-established visual compositional patterns and, consequently, the reach of an authorial poetic-artistic expressiveness. It is important to highlight that in the period prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, all activities carried out with students took place in the face-to-face education context, and the drawing practice happened mostly through analogical instruments and mediums. With the pandemic already unleashed, such activities were adapted for distance education, in order to preserve their original characteristics, especially with regard to ensuring the application of somatosensory and sensorimotor stimulation in the students. The experience acquired along this methodological adaptation process (from face-to-face to distance education) has indicated relevant contributions to increment this approach in the post-pandemic context, e.g. to increase the number of digital media resources applied in the Sensorial Design practice, which point out to the formulation of a hybrid learning-teaching method (physical-digital).

Abstract:
Abstract Monitoring and surveillance (M&S) is one of the key requisites for assessing the effectiveness and success of any Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) or Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) project. These projects can include waterflooding, gas flooding, chemical injection, or any other types. It will help understand, track, monitor and predict the injectant plume migration, flow paths, and breakthrough times. The M&S helps in quantifying the performance of the IOR/EOR project objectives. It provides a good understanding of the remaining oil saturation (ROS) and its distribution in the reservoir during and after the flood. A comprehensive and advanced monitoring and surveillance (M&S) program has to be developed for any given IOR/EOR project. The best practices of any such M&S program should include conventional, advanced and emerging novel technologies for wellbore and inter-well measurements. These include advanced time-lapse pulsed neutron, resistivity, diffusion logs, and bore-hole gravity measurements, cross-well geophysical measurements, water and gas tracers, geochemical, compositional and soil gas analyses, and 4D seismic and surface gravity measurements. The data obtained from the M&S program provide a better understanding of the reservoir dynamics and can be used to refine the reservoir simulation model and fine tune its parameters. This presentation reviews some proven best practices and draw examples from on-going projects and related novel technologies being deployed. We will then look at the new horizon for advanced M&S technologies.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper describes a methodology for delineating tar surface, incorporating it into a geological model, and the process for numerical modeling of oil viscosity variation with depth above the tar surface. The methodology integrates well log data and compositional fluid analysis to develop a mathematical model that mimics the oil's property variation with depth. While there are a good number of reservoirs that fit this description globally, there is a knowledge gap in literature regarding best practices for dealing with the peculiar challenges of such reservoirs. These challenges include; (i) how to delineate the top-of-tar across the field, (ii) modeling of Saturation Height Function (SHF) in a system where density and wettability is changing with depth, and (iii) the methodology for representing the depth-dependent oil properties (especially viscosity) in reservoir simulation. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logs were used to predict fluid viscosity using a technique discussed by Hursan et al. (2016). Viscosity regions are identified at every well that has an NMR log, and these regions are mapped from well to well across the reservoir. Within each viscosity region, the analysis results of fluid samples collected from wells are used to develop mathematical models of fluid composition variation with depth. A reliable SHF model was achieved by incorporating depth-varying oil density and depth varying wettability into the calculation of J-Function. A compositional reservoir simulation was set-up, using the viscosity regions and the mathematical models describing composition variation with depth, for the respective regions. Using information obtained from literature as a starting point, residual oil saturation was modeled as a function of oil viscosity. Original reservoir understanding places the top of non-movable oil (tar) at a constant fieldwide subsurface depth, which corresponds to the shallowest historical no-flow drillstem test (DST) depth. Mapping of the NMR viscosity regions across the field resulted in a sloping tar-oil contact (TOC), which resulted in an increase of movable hydrocarbon pore volume. The viscosity versus depth profile from the simulation model matched the observed data, and allow the simulation model better predict well performance. In addition, the simulation model results also matched the depth-variation of observed formation volume factor (FVF) and reservoir fluid density. Some wells that have measured viscosity data but no NMR logs were used as blind-test wells. The simulation model results also matched the measured viscosity at those blind-test wells. These good matches of the oil property variation with depth gave confidence, that the simulation model could be used as an efficient planning tool for ensuring that injectors are placed just-above the tar mat. The use of the simulation model for well planning could reduce the need for geosteering while drilling flank wells, leading to savings in financial costs. This paper contains a generalized approach that can be used in static and dynamic modeling of reservoirs, where oil changes from light to medium to heavy oil, underlain by tar. It contains recommendations and guidelines to construct a reliable simulation model of such systems.

Abstract:
We review the literature on people management and performance in organisations across a range of disciplines, identifying aspects of management where there is clear evidence about what works as well as aspects where the evidence is mixed or does not yet exist. We organise our discussion by four lenses, or levels of analysis, through which people management can be viewed: (i) individual extrinsic, intrinsic, and psychological factors; (ii) organisational people management, operational management, and culture; (iii) team mechanisms, composition and structural features; and (iv) relationships, including networks, leadership, and individuals’ relationships to their job and tasks. Each of these four lenses corresponds not only to a body of literature but also to a set of management tools and approaches to improving public employees’ performance; articulating the connections across these perspectives is an essential frontier for research. We find that existing people management evidence and practice have overemphasised formal management tools and financial motivations at the expense of understanding how to leverage a broader range of motivations, build organisational culture, and use informal and relational management practices. We suggest that foregrounding the role of relationships in linking people and performance – relational public management – may prove a fertile and interdisciplinary frontier for research and practices.

Abstract:
Increased climate variability, including more frequent and intense drought, is projected for the southwestern region of the United States. Increased temperatures and reduced precipitation lower soil water availability resulting in decreased plant productivity and altering species composition which may affect forage quality and quantity. Reduced forage quality and increased heat stress attributable to warmer temperatures could lead to decreased livestock performance in this system, which is extensively used for livestock grazing. Mitigating the effects of increasing drought is critical to social and ecological stability in the region. Reduced stocking rates, change in livestock breeds and/or grazing practices are general recommendations that could be implemented to cope with increased climatic stress. Ecological Sites (ESs) and their associated state and transition models (STMs) are tools to help land managers implement and evaluate responses to disturbances. The projected change in climate will vary depending on geographic location. Vulnerability assessments and adaptation strategies are needed at the local level to inform local management decisions and help ameliorate the effects of climate change on rangelands. The USDA Southwest Climate Hub and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) worked together to produce this drought vulnerability assessment at the Major Land Resource Area (MLRA) level based on ESs/STMs that will help landowners and government agencies identify and develop adaptation options for drought on rangelands. The assessment illustrates how site-specific information can be used to help minimize the effects of drought on rangelands and support informed decision-making for selecting management adaptations within MLRA 69.
