Magnetoelastic beam with extended polymer for low frequency vibration energy harvesting Alwathiqbellah Ibrahima, Shahrzad Towfighianb, Mohammad Younisc, and Quang Sud Binghamton University, 4400 Vestal Parkway E., Binghamton, NY 13902 ABSTRACT Ambient energy in the form of mechanical kinetic energy is mostly considered waste energy. The process of scavenging and storing such energy is known as energy harvesting. Energy harvesting from mechanical vibration is performed using resonant energy harvesters (EH) with two major goals: enhancing the power scavenged at low frequency sources of vibrations, and increasing the efficiency of scavenging energy by increasing the bandwidth near the resonant frequency. Toward such goals, we propose a piezoelectric EH of a composite cantilever beam with a tip magnet facing another magnet at a distance.

  • Social Spatialisation EXPLORING LINKS WITHIN CONTEMPORARY SONIC ART by Ben Ramsay
    Social spatialisation EXPLORING LINKS WITHIN CONTEMPORARY SONIC ART by Ben Ramsay This article aims to briefly explore some the compositional links that exist between Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) and acousmatic music. Whilst the central theme of this article will focus on compositional links it will suggest some ways in which we might use these links to enhance pedagogic practice and widen access to acousmatic music. In particular, the article is concerned with documenting artists within Intelligent Dance Music (IDM), and how their practices relate to acousmatic music composition. The article will include a hand full of examples of music which highlight this musical exchange and will offer some ways to use current academic thinking to explain how IDM and acousmatics are related, at least from a theoretical point of view. There is a growing body of compositional work and theoretical research that draws from both acousmatics and various forms of electronic dance music. Much of this work blurs the boundaries of electronic music composition, often with vastly different aesthetic and cultural outcomes. Elements of acousmatic composition can be found scattered throughout Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) and on the other side of the divide there are a number of composers who are entering the world of acousmatics from a dance music background. This dynamic exchange of ideas and compositional processes is resulting in an interesting blend of music which is able to sit quite comfortably inside an academic framework as well as inside a more commercial one. Whilst there are a number of genres of dance music that could be described in terms of the theories that would normally relate to acousmatic music composition practices, the focus of this article lies particularly with Intelligent Dance Music.

  • Orb Is Required for Anteroposterior and Dorsoventral Patterning During Drosophita Oogenesis
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on October 1, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press orb is required for anteroposterior and dorsoventral patterning during Drosophita oogenesis Lori B. Christerson and Dennis M. McKearin Department of Biochemistry, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas 75235-9038 USA We describe mutations in the orb gene, identified previously as an ovarian-specific member of a large family of RNA-binding proteins. Strong orb alleles arrest oogenesis prior to egg chamber formation, an early step of oogenesis, whereas females mutant for a maternal-effect lethal orb allele lay eggs with ventralized eggshell structures. Embryos that develop within these mutant eggs display posterior patterning defects and abnormal dorsoventral axis formation. Consistent with such embryonic phenotypes, orb is required for the asymmetric distribution of oskar and gurken mRNAs within the oocyte during the later stages of oogenesis. In addition, double heterozygous combinations of orb and grk or orb and top/DER alleles reveal that mutations in these genes interact genetically, suggesting that they participate in a common pathway. Orb protein, which is localized within the oocyte in wild-type females, is distributed ubiquitously in stage 8-10 orb mutant oocytes. These data will be discussed in the context of a model proposing that Orb is a component of the cellular machinery that delivers mRNA molecules to specific locations within the oocyte and that this function contributes to both D/V and A/P axis specification during oogenesis. [Key Words: RNA binding; oogenesis; dorsoventral; posterior group; polarity; RNA localization] Received October 5, 1993; accepted in revised form January 20, 1994.

  • Aliens, Afropsychedelia and Psyculture
    The Vibe of the Exiles: Aliens, Afropsychedelia and Psyculture Feature Article Graham St John Griffith University (Australia) Abstract This article offers detailed comment on thevibe of the exiles, a socio-sonic aesthetic infused with the sensibility of the exile, of compatriotism in expatriation, a characteristic of psychedelic electronica from Goatrance to psytrance and beyond (i.e. psyculture). The commentary focuses on an emancipatory artifice which sees participants in the psyculture continuum adopt the figure of the alien in transpersonal and utopian projects. Decaled with the cosmic liminality of space exploration, alien encounter and abduction repurposed from science fiction, psychedelic event-culture cultivates posthumanist pretentions resembling Afrofuturist sensibilities that are identified with, appropriated and reassembled by participants. Offering a range of examples, among them Israeli psychedelic artists bent on entering another world, the article explores the interface of psyculture and Afrofuturism. Sharing a theme central to cosmic jazz, funk, rock, dub, electro, hip-hop and techno, from the earliest productions, Israeli and otherwise, Goatrance, assumed an off-world trajectory, and a concomitant celebration of difference, a potent otherness signified by the alien encounter, where contact and abduction become driving narratives for increasingly popular social aesthetics. Exploring the different orbits from which mystics and ecstatics transmit visions of another world, the article, then, focuses on the socio- sonic aesthetics of the dance floor, that orgiastic domain in which a multitude of “freedoms” are performed, mutant utopias propagated, and alien identities danced into being. Keywords: alien-ation; psyculture; Afrofuturism; posthumanism; psytrance; exiles; aliens; vibe Graham St John is a cultural anthropologist and researcher of electronic dance music cultures and festivals.

  • The Jams' and the KLF's Invocation of Mu
    CHART MYTHOS The JAMs’ and The KLF’s Invocation of Mu [Received August 18th 2016; accepted September 22nd 2016 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.10.2.07] Jon Fitzgerald <[email protected]> Southern Cross UniversitY Philip Hayward <[email protected]> Kagoshima UniversitY Research Center for the Pacific Islands and UniversitY of TechnologY SYdneY ABSTRACT: The JAMs and The KLF, two overlapping popular music ensembles led by British multi-media performers JimmY CautY and Bill Drummond, were notable for both the success theY had with a batch of singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s and the complex mythologY theY constructed and celebrated in song lYrics, music videos, press releases and short films. KeY to their mYthological project was their association with the fictional lost island-continent of Mu (with the band name JAMs being an abbreviation for ‘Justified Ancients of Mu Mu’). The latter identitY was derived from Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson’s Illuminatus trilogY of novels in which the aforementioned “ancients” were a secret brotherhood involved in combatting the rival Illuminati, who originated in Atlantis. As the JAMS’ and KLF’s oeuvres progressed, aspects of Mu and Atlantis were synthesised by CautY and Drummond with elements of other actual and fictional islands. The article traces the initial imagination and representation of Mu in esoteric crYpto-historical literature, its rearticulation in Shea and Wilson’s counter-cultural novels and its invocation and function in CautY and Drummond’s work with The JAMs and The KLF.

  • Orbital I the Orb Na Soundedit
    Orbital i The Orb na Soundedit The Orb pojawi się w Łodzi podczas 10. edycji Festiwalu Soundedit. Zespół wystąpi w czwartek, 25 października 2018 r. w Klubie Wytwórnia (ul. Łąkowa 29). Natomiast 26 października (piątek) zagrają: zimnofalowa legenda The Opposition oraz kultowo-klubowa Morcheeba. 27 października (sobota) wystąpią: Mery Spolsky, Nosowska i Giorgio Moroder. Tego samego dnia odbędzie się uroczysta Gala wręczenia nagrody "Człowieka ze Złotym Uchem". The Orb założyli w 1988 r. Alex Paterson oraz Jimmy Cauty, którzy są absolutnymi pionierami ambient house. Ich pomysł na muzykę elektroniczną to spowolnione, bardziej uduchowione rytmy. The Orb wystąpi podczas 10. edycji Festiwalu Soundedit. Zagrają 25 października w łódzkim klubie Wytwórnia poprzedzając Orbital. Przez lata działalności członkowie tylko Alex Paterson przetrwał wszystkie zawirowania składu zespołu. Jego kariera muzyczna rozpoczęła się we wczesnych latach 80. Pracował wtedy jako techniczny formacji Killing Joke, gdzie na basie grał i gra nadal przyjaciel Alexa jeszcze z dzieciństwa - Martin "Youth" Glover (muzyk został nagrodzony statuetką "Człowieka ze Złotym Uchem" w 2012 r.). Po opuszczeniu Killing Joke w 1986 r., Paterson spotkał się Jimmy'ego Cauty, a duet zaczął występować razem jako The Orb w legendarnym londyńskim klubie The Land of Oz. Wspólne muzykowanie w naturalny sposób przerodziło się w nagrywanie płyt. Następnie Patterson i Youth założyli wytwórnię płytową WAU!/Mr. Modo Records. W 1990 r. wydali klasyczny już singiel "Little Fluffy Clouds", na którym wykorzystano fragmenty kompozycji "Electric Counterpoint" Steve'a Reicha. Utwór został odnotowany na 275 pozycji listy "New Musical Express" 500 najważniejszych utworów wszechczasów. W 1991 r. The Orb zarejestrowało swój pierwszy album "The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld", na którym znalazł się również wspomniany singiel.
