World Premiere

I recently translated and then served as dramaturge on the English-language world premiere of Patricia Suárez's Matchmaker (Casamentera), a contemporary Argentine play about the early twentieth-century sex trade in Jewish women imported from Eastern European villages to Buenos Aires brothels. Matchmaker was published in an anthology I edited, Spectacular Bodies, Dangerous Borders: Three New Latin American Plays, along with my translation of The Girls from the 3.5 Floppies (Las chicas del tres y media floppies) by the Mexican playwright Luis Enrique Gutiérrez Ortiz Monasterio (who goes by the acronym LEGOM) and Heather McKay's translation of Passport by the Venezuelan playwright Gustavo Ott. In February 2012, Matchmaker was staged in the Thurber Theatre at The Ohio State University. The production was directed by Lesley Ferris.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of timbre on musicians' intonational acuities during a listening and a performance task. Nine saxophonists, nine clarinetists, and nine flutists from The Ohio State University School of Music participated in the listening and performance segments of this experiment. The performance data consisted of subjects' intonational deviations from recorded examples, and the listening data consisted of subjects' correct and incorrect responses to in-tune or out-of-tune tone pairs. The relationship between subjects' abilities to perform in tune and detect intonation problems, and the effects of timbre on subjects' abilities to perform in tune and detect intonation problems were assessed. Results revealed a low correlation between subjects abilities to play in tune and their abilities to detect intonation problems. Results also indicated that timbre had a significant effect on subjects' abilities to detect intonation problems, but not on their abilities to play in tune. Although there was no significant difference between instrument groups' abilities to detect intonation problems, a significant difference was found between these groups' abilities to play in tune across all timbres. Subjects played significantly more flat than sharp when matching other instrument timbres.

High Reynolds

Noise mitigation has been in the forefront of research and development since the advent of jet engines. Supersonic commercial and especially supersonic military aircraft cannot take the advantages offered by large bypass ratio engines due to significant drag penalty and performance degradation. Therefore, other control techniques must be utilized to reduce noise and satisfy the more recent and looming future stringent noise regulations. A class of plasma actuators has recently been developed at the Ohio State University that offers a significant promise. These actuators possess a wide bandwidth and can provide large amplitude perturbations enabling manipulation of various instabilities in high Reynolds number subsonic and supersonic jets for noise mitigation as well as mixing enhancement. A brief overview of the actuators and some results are presented in perfectly-expanded Mach 1.3 axisymmetric unheated and heated jets.

RESUMO:Este artigo aborda o devir do Manuscrito do Popol Wuj (XIMÉNEZ, 1700) de origem pré-hispânica, um dos textos mais antigos das Américas, sobrevivente da colonização espanhola e conservado até a era da informação. Justifica-se seu estudo pelo fato de a obra ser largamente utilizada nas escolas da América Latina, porém pouco aproveitada no Brasil. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever alguns detalhes do trabalho de restauração do manuscrito na Newberry Library de Chicago e sua posterior digitalização na Universidade de Ohio (The Ohio State University), abordar algumas características ontológicas do manuscrito e do documento digitalizado e comentar as funcionalidades de ambas a partir do ponto de vista de autores como Genette (2009) e Biasi (2007 e 2010). Finalmente pesquisa-se a epistemologia do texto maia por considerá-lo um aporte para as discussões sobre novos paradigmas a respeito da ecologia, seguindo as considerações de di Felice (2012) sobre redes de informação. Nessa perspectiva, propõe-se que o Popol Wuj é uma ferramenta didática para o ensino interdisciplinar e intercultural.  ABSTRACT:This article deals with the topic of the historical path and the future of the Popol Wuj (Ximénez, 1700), a mythic manuscript that survived the Spanish colonization. Considered to be one of the oldest Pre-Hispanic texts found in the Americas, the book has remained preserved till our Information Age. The text, widely used in Latin-American schools, is not yet well known in Brazil. The goal of this research is to understand the epistemology of the text, considering it appropriate for an ecological education, in accordance with the Net Information concepts from Massimo di Felice (2012).The article also describes some details of the restoration of the manuscript and its digitalization, done at Ohio State University. After a commentary on the ontological and functional characteristics of the manuscript and its digitalized copies, taken from the point of view of authors like Genette (2009) and Biasi (2007 e 2010), we point out that the Popol-Wuj is an efficient tool for interdisciplinary and intercultural teaching.

This report highlights some of the major developments in the area of speech anatomy and physiology drawing from the author's own research experience during his years at the University of Iowa and the University of Illinois. He has benefited greatly from mentors including Professors James Curtis, Kenneth Moll, and Hughlett Morris at the University of Iowa and Professor Paul Lauterbur at the University of Illinois. Many colleagues have contributed to the author's work, especially Professors Jerald Moon at the University of Iowa, Bradley Sutton at the University of Illinois, Jamie Perry at East Carolina University, and Youkyung Bae at the Ohio State University. The strength of these researchers and their students bodes well for future advances in knowledge in this important area of speech science.

Background:Educating trainees during cardiology fellowship is a process in constant evolution, with program directors regularly adapting to increasing demands and regulations as they strive to prepare graduates for practice in today’s healthcare environment.Methods and Results:In a 10-year follow-up to a previous manuscript regarding fellowship education, we reviewed the literature regarding the most topical issues facing training programs in 2010, describing our approach at The Ohio State University.Conclusion:In the midst of challenges posed by the increasing complexity of training requirements and documentation, work hour restrictions, and the new definitions of quality and safety, we propose methods of curricula revision and collaboration that may serve as an example to other medical centers.

Background Suppression is associated with binocular vision conditions such as amblyopia and strabismus. Commercial methods of testing fusion often only measure central fusion or suppression at near. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess a new iPad picture fusion test that assesses foveal and central fusion at near. Methods Participants aged 5 years and older presenting for eye examination at The Ohio State University College of Optometry were enrolled. Results from visual acuity, dry and wet refraction/retinoscopy, stereopsis and cover testing were recorded from the patient chart. The iPad picture fusion test, Worth four-dot, Worth type test with foveal letter targets, and Polarized four-dot were performed by one examiner in a randomized order at 40 cm. Testing was repeated with the anaglyphic filters reversed. Crosstabulation and McNemar chi-square analysis were used to compare the results between fusion testing devices. Results Of the fifty participants (mean age = 17.5), twelve reported suppression and one reported diplopia. Testability was excellent for all tests (98% to 100%). There were no significant differences between tests in reported results (P ≥ 0.22 for all comparisons). No difference in reported fusion or suppression status was observed with change in orientation of the anaglyphic filters. Six participants reported foveal suppression alone at near which was not identified with Worth four-dot at near. Conclusion The iPad picture fusion test provided excellent testability and agreement with commonly used tests of fusion and allowed testing of both central and foveal fusion at near. Nearly half (46%) of participants with suppression reported foveal suppression, supporting the importance of testing for foveal suppression.
