Copyright © 2017 David Graus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Cover by Rutger de Vries/perongeluk.com Printed by Off Page, Amsterdam ISBN: 978-94-6182-800-2 Acknowledgements I started the process that culminated in the little booklet you are now reading in 2012. At that time, I had never touched a unix, I didn’t know what an ssh was, and I hardly knew how to write a line of code. I hate to be overly dramatic,1 but I have grown, not only as a researcher, also as a person, and this growth is not exclusively to be attributed to the passing of time. Over the course of my PhD I have become more confident, about myself and my skills, and I have learned I can pick up anything I put my mind (and time) to. The latter is by far the greatest life’s lesson my PhD has brought me. For all of this, I have to thank some people. First, P&C, for setting up the prior by raising me in a home where I naturally got exposed to computers, technology, and (overly) critical thinking. P, for putting me and Mark in front of a Sinclair ZX81 at young age, traumatizing us with the scariest ASCII-rendered games imaginable. It shaped me into the tough trooper I am today. C, for putting up with a grumpy household when our attempts at assembling computers from parts scrambled from all over the place invariably failed. Next, Maarten, for taking a “chance” with me. I was quite wet behind the ears, as one would say, before I started my PhD. I am glad and thankful that this did not hold Maarten back for giving me the opportunity to see how I would pan out as a computer scientist. I was a coin-flip. Thanks for flipping! Next next, ILPS. First, the senior population at ILPS. In particular, Edgar, who at the time understood better than me what I was doing, and who saw that I could do and might enjoy this PhD. Manos and Wouter, who guided, supervised, co-authored, and co-lived this period with me. My peers at ILPS, of which I will name a few because these are my acknowledgements and I get to decide whether I single people out or not: Daan, Anne, Tom, and Marlies. I enjoyed interfering with your day-to-day activities, sharing misery, disagreeing (hi Anne), coffee breaks, bootcamps and runs, and everything else. Then, my co-authors, for partaking in that thing we do in science, which conveniently provided the basis of this dissertation. Paul, Ryen, and Eric for mentoring me during my internship at Microsoft Research in the summer of 2015. Best summer ever. Finally, my brothers from other mothers, Rutger and Marijn, for putting up with me being right all the time, slightly cocky, and (at times) tending towards the far-right end of the spectrum of self-confidence. I’m sorry. Moving on to the nonliving things: Polder, Oerknal, Maslow, and Joost (in order of appearance) for providing shelter for unwinding, escaping, brainstorming, philosophizing and reflecting on life, academia, and beyond. Oh, and also for drinking beers. Twitter, for giving me a place where I could write down stuff when Christophe would stop listening to the monologues I typically directed at my computer screen (but were intended for all to hear). Spotify and Bose, for sheltering me from the real world during extended periods of (coding) cocooning. Okay, this is not an exhaustive list, but I have to both start and stop somewhere. Before we part ways and move onto the researchy stuff, I will leave you with one big fat cliche—which´ I know loses some of its expressive power by virtue of being a cliche´ (but which I hope to counteract a bit by being explicit about my awareness of it being a cliche):´ It was a great journey!

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2014-2015 School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015
    ANNUAL REPORT 2014-2015 School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015 Executive Summary The 2014 – 2015 academic year was a very successful one for the School of Sciences and Mathematics (SSM). Our faculty continued their stellar record of publication and securing extramural funding, and we were able to significantly advance several capital projects. In addition, the number of majors in SSM remained very high and we continued to provide research experiences for a significant number of our students. We welcomed four new faculty members to our ranks. These individuals and their colleagues published 187 papers in peer‐reviewed scientific journals, many with undergraduate co‐authors. Faculty also secured $6.4M in new extramural grant awards to go with the $24.8M of continuing awards. During the 2013‐14 AY, ground was broken for two 3,000 sq. ft. field stations at Dixie Plantation, with construction slated for completion in Fall 2014. These stations were ultimately competed in June 2015, and will begin to serve students for the Fall 2015 semester. The 2014‐2015 academic year, marked the first year of residence of Computer Science faculty, as well as some Biology and Physics faculty, in Harbor Walk. In addition, nine Biology faculty had offices and/or research space at SCRA, and some biology instruction occurred at MUSC. In general, the displacement of a large number of students to Harbor Walk went very smoothly. Temporary astronomy viewing space was secured on the roof of one of the College’s garages. The SSM dean’s office expended tremendous effort this year to secure a contract for completion of the Rita Hollings Science Center renovation, with no success to date.

  • Paul Motian Trio I Have the Room Above Her
    ECM Paul Motian Trio I Have The Room Above Her Paul Motian: drums; Bill Frisell: guitar; Joe Lovano: tenor saxophone ECM 1902 CD 6024 982 4056 (4) Release: January 2005 “Paul Motian, Bill Frisell and Joe Lovano have celebrated solo careers, but when they unite a special magic occurs, a marvel of group empathy” – The New Yorker "I Have The Room Above Her" marks the return of Paul Motian to ECM, the label that first provided a context for his compositions and his musical directions. The great American- Armenian drummer, now in his 74th year, is currently at a creative peak, and his trio, launched in 1984 with the ECM album "It Should Have Happened A Long Time Ago", has never sounded better. Motian, of course, has continued to be an important contributor to ECM recordings over the years -- see for instance his recent work with Marilyn Crispell and with Paul Bley - but hasn't recorded as a leader for the label in almost 20 years. His anthology in ECM’s Rarum series, however, released at the beginning of 2004, served as a powerful reminder of just how original his musical concept remains. As a drummer, improviser, composer of intensely lyrical melodies, and musical thinker, Paul Motian is a unique figure, and a musician of vast and varied experience. As a young man, he played with Thelonious Monk, whose idiosyncratic sense of swing (and stubborn independence from all prevailing trends) was to be a lifelong influence. Motian played with Coleman Hawkins, with Lennie Tristano, with Sonny Rollins, even, fleetingly, with John Coltrane.

    THE WEB THAT HAS NO WEAVER Understanding Chinese Medicine “The Web That Has No Weaver opens the great door of understanding to the profoundness of Chinese medicine.” —People’s Daily, Beijing, China “The Web That Has No Weaver with its manifold merits … is a successful introduction to Chinese medicine. We recommend it to our colleagues in China.” —Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China “Ted Kaptchuk’s book [has] something for practically everyone . Kaptchuk, himself an extraordinary combination of elements, is a thinker whose writing is more accessible than that of Joseph Needham or Manfred Porkert with no less scholarship. There is more here to think about, chew over, ponder or reflect upon than you are liable to find elsewhere. This may sound like a rave review: it is.” —Journal of Traditional Acupuncture “The Web That Has No Weaver is an encyclopedia of how to tell from the Eastern perspective ‘what is wrong.’” —Larry Dossey, author of Space, Time, and Medicine “Valuable as a compendium of traditional Chinese medical doctrine.” —Joseph Needham, author of Science and Civilization in China “The only approximation for authenticity is The Barefoot Doctor’s Manual, and this will take readers much further.” —The Kirkus Reviews “Kaptchuk has become a lyricist for the art of healing. And the more he tells us about traditional Chinese medicine, the more clearly we see the link between philosophy, art, and the physician’s craft.” —Houston Chronicle “Ted Kaptchuk’s book was inspirational in the development of my acupuncture practice and gave me a deep understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.

  • For Immediate Release Paul Motian Composition Book Published
    For Immediate Release! Contact: Cynthia McGuirl Thomaston, Maine, USA (207) 593-6542 [email protected] ! www.paulmotianarchive.com ! Paul Motian Composition Book Published !All of iconic jazz drummer’s music is now available to the public ! The Compositions of Paul Motian Volume 2 • 1990-2011 was released on Jan- uary 30, 2018. Motian’s niece, Cynthia McGuirl is the publisher. Motian never published his written music during his lifetime but with this book, all of his compositions are now in print. ! Jazz drummer Paul Motian (1931–2011) composed music that is uniquely suited to im- provisation. Motian began playing on the New York jazz scene in the late 1950s and was a part of many groundbreaking groups, including ones led by Bill Evans and Keith Jar- rett. He began leading his own bands simultaneously with writing his own music. Col- lected from his papers and presented in his own handwriting, the tunes in Volumes 1 and 2 are a complete collection, from when he first started composing in 1973 until his death in 2011. ! Cynthia McGuirl is also the caretaker of Motian’s archive. While she was organizing his copious composition notebooks, she decided to make his written music available to any musician who wanted it. With the help of Motian bandmates Steve Cardenas, Bill Frisell and Joe Lovano, McGuirl put together all of Motian’s lead sheets. Besides recorded tunes, the collection includes 21 unreleased songs. All felt it was important that the mu- sic appear in Motian’s own handwriting. The way he wrote out the music was deliberate, and conveys nuances which would be lost with a mechanized rendering.
