52 Nanotone Symphonies, Anthony Elia

Bridwell Library Research

The 52 Nanotone Symphonies is a work of expanding and contracting nature, which reflects the paradox of size, length, speed, and tone of a work: a symphony is traditionally a massive orchestral work with many interactive parts, while a tone is an elemental form of sound, at the foundational level of music. This work distorts and challenges those categories, allowing for each measure (in 12 + 4 time) to constitute an entire "symphony" of sound in miniature: using a single piano (keyboard or organ) instead of orchestra. Performers are encouraged to play each as slow or fast as they wish. …

Chemistry Faculty Publications and Presentations

The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is one of the key features of a fluorescent probe and one that often defines its potential utility for in vivo labeling and analyte detection applications. Here, it is reported that introducing a pyridine group into traditional cyanine-7 dyes in an asymmetric manner provides a series of tunable NIR fluorescent dyes (Cy-Mu-7) characterized by enhanced Stokes shifts (≈230 nm) compared to the parent cyanine 7 dye (nm). The observed Stokes shift increase is ascribed to symmetry breaking of the Cy-Mu-7 core and a reduction in the extent of conjugation. The fluorescence signals of the Cy-Mu-7 dyes …

Information Systems Faculty Publications

The degree to which the media report a health emergency affects the seriousness with which the people respond to combat the health crisis. Engagement from local newspapers in the US has received scant scrutiny, even though there is a sizable body of scholarship on the analysis of COVID-19 news. We fill this void by focusing on the Rio Grande Valley area of the US-Mexico border. To understand the differences, we compared such local news coverage with the coverage of a national news outlet. After collecting the relevant news articles, we used sentiment analysis, rapid automatic keyword extraction (RAKE), and co-occurrence …

Editorial: Advances In Phononic And Acoustic Metamaterials, Yu-Gui Peng, Simon Yves, Ying Li

Advanced Science Research Center

The quasi-particle linked to mechanical vibration, namely the phonon, is responsible for everyday sound and heat transmission in air, water and other media. Hence, investigating and controlling the phononic properties of materials provides new opportunities and powerful tools to tailor acoustic wave propagation and heat transport. During the past few decades, there has been considerable interest in studying theoretically and experimentally the acoustic, elastodynamic and thermal properties of artificial media made of small inclusions. These metamaterials are engineered to exhibit exotic properties beyond what naturally occurs in materials, including negative bulk-modulus, zero/negative density and infinite thermal conductivity. Many tantalizing concepts …

Is Autologous Platelet Activation The Key Step In Ovarian Therapy For Fertility Recovery And Menopause Reversal?, Natalie S. Rickers, E. Scott Sills

BioMedicine

Platelets are a uniquely mammalian physiologic feature. As the only non-marine vertebrates to experience menopause, humans have a substantial post-reproductive lifespan and are believed to have a limited, non-renewable oocyte supply. Ovarian reserve typically declines after about age 35yrs, marking losses which cannot be recovered by available fertility medications. When in vitro fertilization fails due to low or absent ovarian response, gonadotropin adjustments are often ineffectual and if additional oocytes are occasionally harvested, egg quality is usually poor. This problem was confronted by Greek researchers who developed a new surgical method to insert autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into ovaries; the …
