It engages the full minded persons and scholars to itself transforms to a solid thread when it leaves the body [2]. throughout the world, the nature presents these mysteries This silk is made of a fiber protein called fibroin, this on a wide variety of events and inside the complex world protein is full of Amino acids of alanine CH3CH (NH2) of different creatures. There are millions of creatures that COOH and glycine which is produced by a special gland have individually strange characteristics and life on its abdomen called spinneret. [5] condition. There are things that are in-depth scientific and Spiders use many form of silks from an array of debate-raising facts with these creatures which most of structures, which range from simple life lines to shelter them are hidden and need to be discovered. Spider silk for moulting, from egg sacs, webs and to ballooning. and webs are one of this mysteries. Due to low rate of Orb-web spinning spiders produce different types of degradability, toughness, elasticity and biosynthetic multifunctional and high performance fibers. This nature characteristics, the spider silk evaluated to have many production has mechanical, biomechanical and scientific uses and application. -

Baroque Instruments The Baroque Cello and Its Performance Marc Vanscheeuwijck The instrument we now call a cello (or violoncello) apparently deve- loped during the first decades of the 16th century from a combina- tion of various string instruments of popular European origin (espe- cially the rebecs) and the vielle. Although nothing precludes our hypothesizing that the bass of the violins appeared at the same time as the other members of that family, the earliest evidence of its existence is to be found in the treatises of Agricola,1 Gerle,2 Lanfranco,3 and Jambe de Fer.4 Also significant is a fresco (1540- 42) attributed to Giulio Cesare Luini in Varallo Sesia in northern Italy, in which an early cello is represented (see Fig. 1). 1 Martin Agricola, Musica instrumentalis deudsch (Wittenberg, 1529; enlarged 5th ed., 1545), f.

Lavoce: Our Voice All and Winter Made Their Marks on More Than Fa Few Instruments This Year
OF CLAIRE GIVENS VIOLINS, INC. SPRING 1999 LaVoce: our voice all and winter made their marks on more than Fa few instruments this year. Fluctuating climat- ic conditions in the fall followed by the sudden onslaught of winter and a stint of exceedingly dry air brought many customers to our shop to have a wide variety of concerns addressed, from troublesome e- strings to serious cracks. Caring for string instruments requires attention and dedication on the part of play- ers.Taking preventative measures and paying atten- tion to any changes in your instrument’s sound are crucial (poor sound quality can indicate open bouts and cracks).The two key climatic threats to string instruments are temperature and humidity. Keep humidity levels at 50% (35% at the least) in the room in which your instrument is regularly stored and played. If you use ‘Dampits,’check and dampen them regularly. Do not leave instruments near heating vents, radiators or in direct sunlight.Allow instru- ments to adjust gradually to temperature changes when transported from one location to another.

Chalmers Reproservice G¨oteborg, Sweden 2017 Simulation of a Badminton Racket A parametric study of racket design parameters using Finite Element Analysis. Master's thesis in Applied Mechanics ELIAS BLOMSTRAND MIKE DEMANT Department of Applied Mechanics Division of Solid Mechanics Chalmers University of Technology Abstract Badminton, said to be the worlds fastest ball sport, is a fairly unknown sport from a scientific point of view. There has been great progress made to get from the old wooden rackets of the 19th century to the light-weight high performance composite ones used today, but the development process is based on a trial and error method rather than on scientific knowledge. The limited amount of existing studies indicate that racket parameters like shaft stiffness, center of gravity and head geometry affect the performance of the racket greatly. -

I thank my other committee members Prof. Mimi Zweig and Prof. Peter Stumpf for their time and commitment throughout my studies. I could not have wished for a more positive and encouraging committee. I also thank Dr. Kristina Muxfeldt for being my music history advisor with an open ear for my questions and helpful comments throughout my time at Indiana University. I would also like to thank Dr. -
Founding a Family of Fiddles
The four members of the violin family have changed very little In hundreds of years. Recently, a group of musi- cians and scientists have constructed a "new" string family. 16 Founding a Family of Fiddles Carleen M. Hutchins An article from Physics Today, 1967. New measmement techniques combined with recent acoustics research enable us to make vioUn-type instruments in all frequency ranges with the properties built into the vioHn itself by the masters of three centuries ago. Thus for the first time we have a whole family of instruments made according to a consistent acoustical theory.

Although originally in four movements, this arrangement focuses on the exuberant second movement. Care has been taken to keep a great deal of melodic material in the viola part. Difficult sixteenth note passages have been broken up to be easily played by both the violin and viola sections. Student violists will enjoy playing this medium level work, and they will appreciate the opportunity it gives to showcase the beauty and power of their instrument. About the Arranger Todd Parrish has taught public school orchestras at all levels for 17 years in both Illinois and Virginia. He currently has several original compositions and arrangements published with Alfred Music and Wingert-Jones Publications. He received a Bachelor of Music Education from Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma and a Master of Music in orchestral conducting from the University of Arizona in Tucson. He has also studied conducting at workshops with many leading teachers in Colorado, Illinois, South Carolina, Maine, and Aix-en-Provence, France. Todd is the orchestra editor for J.W. Pepper & Son sheet music and the string editor for Wingert-Jones Publications based in Exton, Pennsylvania.

Some Examples from a Corpus Investigation Of
UDK 78:81’373.46 Prethodno priopćenje Rukopis primljen 14. VII. 2018. Prihvaćen za tisak 25. XI. 2018. Paola Granado Université Lumière Lyon 2 [email protected] Roger Miller [email protected] SOME EXAMPLES FROM A CORPUS INVESTIGATION OF POTENTIALLY CONFUSING POLYSEMY AND FALSE FRIENDS IN THE TERMINOLOGY OF MUSIC, CENTRED ON ENGLISH AND FRENCH, WITH EQUIVALENTS IN FIVE OTHER LANGUAGES This paper presents five of the initial items of a semantic study of confusable terms and false friends present in the lexis of music in English and French. All forms are also given in Italian, German, Spanish, Russian and Chinese. The object of study is a series of texts from corpora provided by New Sketch Engine, a product of Lexical Computing Limited. In the commentary section, the semantic variance between the different items within the same topic is studied. The approach is essentially synchronic, with priority being given to the examination of current usage. Diachronic considerations are also included where it has been possible to explain, or at least hypothesize how the meaning of the various terms has evolved. The main practical application of the paper is to provide a tool for reducing ambiguity in the area of music terminology. It will be of potential interest to all those concerned by the study and practice of music and the language of music in countries where the languages referred to in this study are in use. 1. Objectives and methodology This research aims to reduce ambiguity and thus improve comprehension by exploring a selection of forty or so false friends between English and French in the area of music terminology.
