Book Description
inch....this work is likely to become a standart work very quickly and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are undertaken inch. (Oliver James,Contact Magazine) A novel and comprehensive approach to transferring from the C to F instrument. 430 music examples include folk and national songs (some in two parts), country dance tunes and excerpts from the standard treble repertoire ofBach, Barsanti, Corelli, Handel, Telemann, etc. An outstanding feature of the book has proved to be Brian Bonsor's brilliantly simple but highly effective practice circles and recognition squares designed to give, in only a few minutes, concentrated practice on the more usual leaps to and from each new note and instant recognition of random notes. Quickly emulating the outstanding success of the descant tutors, these books are very popular even with those who normally use tutors other than the Enjoy the Recorder series.

Book Description
This exhibition catalogue accompanies HOTA Gallery's second major exhibition, which celebrates one of Australia's greatest landscape painters, and living artists, William Robinson AO. In 1984 Robinson took up residence on a 208-acre farm on the western slopes of Beechmont in the Gold Coast hinterland. There, he would walk around and observe the surrounding sub-tropical rainforest, creating a time of reflection that revealed both the subtle pleasures and epic grace of the natural world around him. These experiences underpinned by his gentle curiosity inspired Robinson, a painter and pianist, to create monumental canvases that twisted Australian landscape painting in a thoroughly new direction. He created unforgettable art that speaks to his deep fascination with, and transformative expression of, the Queensland landscape. Classical music is an ever-present source of inspiration for the artist. He plays the piano often and listens intently to Bach, Strauss and Brahms, amongst others. Turning to his easel, Robinson paints landscapes that echo the complex compositions of these classical greats. He is attentive to the subtleties of musical compositions, and their appearance in his paintings are silences, inversions, tones, texture, rhythm, and form. The ability of both music and art to elevate the senses, and create a perception of wonder and enchantment, are faithful companions in the paintings of Robinson. Together through the generosity of private collectors and public collections, the entire Creation series produced over 16 years, will be presented together for the first time as the centrepiece of the exhibition in an experience that highlights the artist's spiritual connection to the natural world, and his love of classical music. Former Governor-General and proud Queenslander Quentin Bryce AD CVO is the guest curator of the exhibition, exploring and celebrating William Robinson's abiding love of music and painting in his transformative expression of the Queensland landscape.

Nanotechnology for Environmental and Biomedical Research
Author: Giada Frenzilli
Publisher: MDPI
ISBN: 3036507183
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Do you care about your environment and your health? Contamination by hazardous substances in environmental matrices, including landfills, oil fields, and manufacturing and industrial sites, represents a global concern and needs to be remediated since it poses a serious risk to the environment and human health. Particular attention should also be paid to the use of medical devices and recent developments in the use of nanoparticles expressed as drug delivery systems designed to treat a wide variety of diseases. This Special Issue collects a compilation of articles that strongly demonstrate the continuous efforts made in developing advanced and safe nanomaterial-based technologies for nano-remediation and for drug delivery and other biomedical applications. It covers the most recent advances in the safe nanomaterials synthesis field as well as in environmental applications, in the use of restorative materials, drug delivery and other clinical applications, in order to lay the foundations for a cleaner and healthier future.

Synthesis, Processing and Application of Micro and Nanostructured Materials
Author: Bogdan Stefan Vasile
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783039289684
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
The book is focused on nanostructured materials, which have been well-studied in various fields from life to materials sciences. Nanostructured science has the potential to help make revolutionary discoveries based on modifying the properties of these materials compared with micro-structured materials. Nanostructured materials are the key to discovering new products based on new technologies. This book is focused on presenting new state-of-the-art methods for the synthesis and processing of nanostructured materials. These materials can be used in both in life and materials science with applications from biomedical devices, drug delivery systems, medical imaging with multiferoic materials, high-energy batteries, capacitors, superconductors, and aerospace components.

Physicochemical, Sensory and Nutritional Properties of Foods Affected by Processing and Storage
Author: Sidonia Martinez
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783036527338
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Processing and storage can cause changes and interactions in food components that have effects on nutritional value, organoleptic characteristics or even food safety. This book includes 19 research works showing important and interesting advances, as well as new approaches, in this research topic. Four articles are dedicated to studying the effect of canning conditions (filling media and some ingredients) on the diverse parameters of quality for fish and pet foods. Three articles are devoted to studying the effects of dehydration (pre-treatments and drying procedures). One article is dedicated to monitoring the elaboration of a fermented and dehydrated product (sausage) using a portable NIRS device. The ninth article of this book studies the effect of low-dose electron beam irradiation on cooking quality, moisture migration, and thermodynamics, as well as the digestion properties of the isolated starches in newly harvested and dried rice. The next contribution studies the use of different preservatives to avoid the formation of undesirable volatile organic compounds in stracciatella cheese. Another article examines the impact of source material, kibble size, temperature, and duration on the efficiency of the aqueous extraction of sugars and phenolics from carob kibbles by conventional heat-assisted (HAE) and ultrasound-assisted (UAE) methods. In two articles, marinating with different extracts, alone or combined with other seasoning/conditioning methods, was essayed to tenderize beef or to improve the sensory quality of chicken leg and breast meat. The effect of various cooking methods on the quality, structure, pasting, water distribution and protein oxidation of fish and meat-based snacks is studied in the fourteenth article. The last five articles are dedicated to the study of the effects of storage on several foods (olive oil, blueberry, beetroot and Atlantic mackerel).
