Tritones sounding over subdominant harmony, either as suspensions, accented passing tones, or incomplete neighbors, constitute a class of sonorities regularly heard in film and television music. I collectively refer to these phenomena “subdominant tritones” (SdTT), theorize link between the SdTT emotions it engenders. The article presents close visual/musical analysis selected SdTT-tinged passa...

We study the thermodynamics of disordered elastic systems, applied to vortex lattices in the Bragg glass phase. Using the replica variational method we compute the specific heat of pinned vortons in the classical limit. We find that the contribution of disorder is positive, linear at low temperature, and exhibits a maximum. It is found to be important compared to other contributions, e.g., core...

To study the role of subdominant epitopes in tumor rejection we have used EL4 tumor cells and their ovalbumin (OVA)-transfected counterpart E.G7. Immunization of mice with irradiated EL4 cells conferred protection against challenge with EL4 and E.G7. Surprisingly, immunization with irradiated E.G7 cells did not protect against a subsequent challenge with EL4 or E.G7. Growth of E.G7 tumors in E....

Given a vector u and a certain subset K of a real vector space E, the problem of l -approximation involves determining an element û in K nearest to u in the sense of the l -error norm. The subdominant * of u is the upper bound (if it exists) of the set [x # K : xOu] (we let xOy if all coordinates of x are smaller than or equal to the corresponding coordinates of y). We present general condition...

Limitation of disturbances, such as grazing and fire, is a key tool for nature reserve management and ecological restoration. While the role of these disturbances in shaping ecosystem structure and functioning has been intensively studied, less is known about the consequences of long-term prevention of grazing and fire. Based on a 31-year study, we show that relative biomass of the dominant gra...

We investigate subdominant order parameters stabilizing at low temperatures in nanoscale high-T(c) cuprate islands, motivated by the recent observation of a fully gapped state in nanosized YBa(2)Cu(3)O(7-δ) [D. Gustafsson et al., Nature Nanotech. 8, 25 (2013)]. Using complementary quasiclassical and tight-binding Bogoliubov-de Gennes methods, we show on distinctly different properties dependent...

Super Heavy quasi-stable particles are naturally produced in the early universe and could represent a substantial fraction of the Dark Matter: the so-called Super Heavy Dark Matter (SHDM). The decay of SHDM represents also a possible source of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR), with a reliably calculated spectrum of the particles produced in the decay (∝ E−1.9). The SHDM model for the produ...

In this note we identify the leading terms of the (reduced) K-energy map with a universal linear combination of the principal and subdominant coefficients of the weight of the mth Hilbert point. This shows that the weight F1(λ;X) introduced by Donaldson in [SKD02] is just the weight of the CMpolarisation.The equivalence between the CM-(semi)stability and the K-(semi) stability follows from this...
