Many classical works from 18th and 19th centuries are sonata forms, exhibiting a piece-level tonal path through an exposition, a development and a recapitulation and involving two thematic zones as well as other elements. The computational music analysis of scores with such a largescale structure is a challenge for the MIR community and should gather different analysis techniques. We propose fi...

This paper describes a system for efficient indexing and retrieval of words in collections of document images. The proposed method is based on two main principles: unsupervised prototype clustering, and string encoding for efficient string matching. During indexing, a self organizing map (SOM) is trained so as to cluster together similar symbols (character-like objects) in a sub-set of the docu...

Mendel's paper 'Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden' is the best known in a series of studies published in the late 18th and 19th centuries that built our understanding of the mechanism of inheritance. Mendel investigated the segregation of seven gene characters of pea (Pisum sativum), of which four have been identified. Here, we review what is known about the molecular nature of these genes, which...

Notions of the 'postmodern' pervade various fields of study, but have rarely been applied to the practice and theory of nursing. This paper uses some conceptions of the 'postmodern' to remedy this. Though there are many contested usages of the term, here 'postmodern' will be used broadly in a periodical sense to trace changes in society and culture from the 'modernism' of the 18th and 19th cent...

Tuberculosis (TB), resulting from infection with the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), is a resurgent and major worldwide health problem. TB was the principal cause of early death in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, and was still a greatly feared disease in the 19th and early part of the 20th century (the “white plague”), when there was no active treatment available. Yet by th...

The study aims at assessing the role of Historia Literaria's infernal discourse of librarianship and of the discourse of librarianship which is external but concurrent to Historia Literaria in genesis of German library science in the 18th and 19th centuries. An attempt is made to establish to which of these two traditions library science may best be attributed. First, the position of writing on...

Glaucoma involves a characteristic optic neuropathy, often with elevated intraocular pressure. Before 1850, poor vision with a normal eye appearance, as occurs in primary open-angle glaucoma, was termed amaurosis, gutta serena, or black cataract. Few observers noted palpable hardness of the eye in amaurosis. On the other hand, angle-closure glaucoma can produce a green or gray pupil, and theref...
