Kircher and Musica pathetica
Title
Kircher and Musica pathetica: A translation from Musurgia universalis.
Creator
Tammearu, Peeter, Mathes, James, Spencer, Peter, Brewer, Charles E. (Charles Everett), Florida State University, School of Music
Abstract/Description
The concept of Musica Pathetica figures significantly in the encyclopedic Musurgia universalis published in 1650 by Athanasius Kircher (1601-1680). Kircher, a German Jesuit who spent much of his life in Rome, was a polymathic scholar, following in the tradition of Mersenne, and attempted to form a systematic rationalization of the relationship between the Baroque doctrine of the affections and practical musical composition. Beginning from traditional concepts of numerical proportions and the...
Show moreThe concept of Musica Pathetica figures significantly in the encyclopedic Musurgia universalis published in 1650 by Athanasius Kircher (1601-1680). Kircher, a German Jesuit who spent much of his life in Rome, was a polymathic scholar, following in the tradition of Mersenne, and attempted to form a systematic rationalization of the relationship between the Baroque doctrine of the affections and practical musical composition. Beginning from traditional concepts of numerical proportions and the human temperaments and humors, his exposition of the subject puts a particular emphasis on modal theory and the musical literature of the early seventeenth century. A translation is provided for the Latin text of Book VII (Part Three, Chapters One to Five), along with a transcription of the musical examples.

Abstract/Description
This thesis explores the social significance of prestige artifacts from the site of San Andrés, which was part of the Barí riverine network that supported La Venta, a paramount Middle Formative Gulf Coast center located in present-day Tabasco, Mexico. In Formative period Mesoamerica, high-status goods were significant components of cultural practice and a source of social, political, and ideological power. Centralized control over systems of elite good acquisition, production, distribution,...
Show moreThis thesis explores the social significance of prestige artifacts from the site of San Andrés, which was part of the Barí riverine network that supported La Venta, a paramount Middle Formative Gulf Coast center located in present-day Tabasco, Mexico. In Formative period Mesoamerica, high-status goods were significant components of cultural practice and a source of social, political, and ideological power. Centralized control over systems of elite good acquisition, production, distribution, and consumption provided the means to structure relationships, compete for prestige, and define ideological conceptions of social order. This study investigates the role of these socially significant items in the context of subsidiary community and within the framework of a primary-secondary site relationship.

Younathan, Ezzat Saad, Dittmer, Karl, Florida State University
Abstract/Description
"In this thesis is reported the effect of propargylglycine on mammals. It was found to inhibit the growth of young white rats, and its toxicity was unexpectedly high. Most probably the toxicity is not alone due to its action as an amino acid antagonist. The minimum lethal dose was determined in young rats and adult mice. Several attempts were made to protect the experimental animals by simultaneous administration of dietary or metabolic factors. Also several possible mechanisms of action are...

Show moreUntil recently, the major part of biochemical research has been concentrated on the degradative rather than on the synthetic reactions of living systems. This is mainly due to limitations imposed by technique. The introduction of isotopic tracers and the development of efficient fractionation techniques have made possible the investigation of the biosynthetic mechanism of many metabolites. During the last decade, due to the Coris and their coworkers, the mechanism of polysaccharide synthesis was largely worked out. Two years ago, Lynen and Mahler proposed independently a scheme for the biosynthesis of long-chain fatty acids. On the other hand, the problem of protein synthesis is still one of the major challenges to the biochemists. In the mechanisms just referred to for the biosynthesis of simpler metabolites, the specificity of the biochemical process is always explained by the specificity of the enzymes involved.But when the formation of a protein is considered, the problem cannot be solved by referring to the specificity of conventional protein enzymes, since the synthesis of these, in turn, has to be accounted for. Evidently, enzymes involved in protein biosynthesis must be of a different nature. Elucidation of the mechanism of protein synthesis will not only add to our knowledge about the production of cellular protein, but may also shed some light on many other important problems, e.g., heredity factors, cancer, virus growth and microbial adaptation. A prerequisite to the study of protein synthesis is to work out a simple system capable of net synthesis of a specific protein. Several approaches have been designed to demonstrate protein production in vivo and in vitro. The assets and limitations of each of these methods will be discussed in the next chapter. The approach adopted for the work reported in this dissertation is the net enzyme synthesis in vivo and in vitro. Enzymes offer a useful tool by virtue of being specific proteins which could be rapidly and accurately assayed. The larger portion of the work was carried out using the in vitro system since, in contrast with the in vivo system, it is simpler and permits better control of the experimental variables. The effect of several activators and inhibitors has been investigated with special emphasis on amino acid analogues"-- Introduction.
