The AA (acceptor, acceptor) hydrogen-bonding pattern present in the salt forms a complex readily with a DD (donor, donor) hydrogen-bonding pattern of the substituted ureas even in polar and competitive environment. The double carbon–carbon bond in the acrylic acid derivative is subjected to photoisomerization. This is dependent on the association with substituted urea derivatives. The substituent in ureas influences the trans/cis isomerization kinetics and position of the photostationary Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence.

  • NOSTALGIA, EMOTIONALITY, and ETHNO-REGIONALISM in PONTIC PARAKATHI SINGING by IOANNIS TSEKOURAS DISSERTATION Submitted in Parti
    NOSTALGIA, EMOTIONALITY, AND ETHNO-REGIONALISM IN PONTIC PARAKATHI SINGING BY IOANNIS TSEKOURAS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Donna A. Buchanan, Chair Professor Emeritus Thomas Turino Professor Gabriel Solis Professor Maria Todorova ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the multilayered connections between music, emotionality, social and cultural belonging, collective memory, and identity discourse. The ethnographic case study for the examination of all these relations and aspects is the Pontic muhabeti or parakathi. Parakathi refers to a practice of socialization and music making that is designated insider Pontic Greek. It concerns primarily Pontic Greeks or Pontians, the descendants of the 1922 refugees from Black Sea Turkey (Gr. Pontos), and their identity discourse of ethno-regionalism. Parakathi references nightlong sessions of friendly socialization, social drinking, and dialogical participatory singing that take place informally in coffee houses, taverns, and households. Parakathi performances are reputed for their strong Pontic aesthetics, traditional character, rich and aesthetically refined repertoire, and intense emotionality. Singing in parakathi performances emerges spontaneously from verbal socialization and emotional saturation. Singing is described as a confessional expression of deeply personal feelings

  • STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Intention to Designate Under Part IV
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act – 693 Bathurst Street Date: January 22, 2014 Toronto Preservation Board To: Toronto and East York Community Council From: Acting Manager, Urban Design, City Planning Division Wards: Ward 20 – Trinity-Spadina Reference P:\2014\Cluster B\PLN\HPS\TEYCC\February 25 2014\teHPS04 Number: SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 693 Bathurst Street (convenience address: 725 Bathurst Street) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. The property at 693 Bathurst Street was listed on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties in 2005. In October 2013 an application was made to the Toronto and East York Committee of Adjustment to construct a temporary dome on the playing field at Central Technical School. The Toronto and East York Community Council at its meeting of October 17, 2013 adopted TE27.68 (Heritage Designation Report – Central Technical School), directing the Acting Director, Urban Design to prepare a staff report that evaluates and makes recommendations regarding the potential designation of Central Technical School under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The Community Council further directed that "the report should contemplate the entire school site as a cultural heritage landscape and the iconic view corridors from Bathurst Street to the original main entrance of the school building." Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the property at 693 Bathurst Street (with the convenience address of 725 Bathurst) meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

At Lakehead University, the siting, materials, colours, and specifications of buildings are determined by the client, the Campus Development Committee.
