Poetic Vision

Organiste-titulaire of Notre-Dame de Paris for nearly forty years, Louis Vierne composed over sixty songs, including a set of five Baudelaire songs, Cinq Poèmes de Baudelaire, published in 1921. This analysis covers: (a) the context of composition; (b) the connections established between selected poems; (c) the statistical data generated from the adhesion strength tests; and (d) how the data shape an evaluation of Vierne’s settings of Baudelaire. Findings reveal how the poetic line is minimally disrupted in these songs, as the vocal line remains very independent of the piano. As a result, the bonds between poem and music are largely abhesive, which means it is possible to recover the poem intact from the song score. As complex mélodies, the lack of interference with the fabric of Baudelaire’s versification, together with limited musical-semantic interpretation, means that Vierne’s music remains attentive towards Baudelaire’s poetic vision, offering an accretive outcome overall.

When Austrian composer Alban Berg was working on his opera Lulu, he wrote three Baudelaire songs as a Konzertaria entitled Der Wein. Premiered in 1930, Der Wein is a large-scale work for voice and orchestra. Berg uses a German translation by Stefan George, but the published score is in parallel texts, accommodating the French verse line. The chapter also considers a ‘hidden’ Baudelaire setting from Berg’s 1926 Lyric Suite for string quartet. The analysis covers: (a) the context of composition; (b) the connections established between selected poems; (c) the statistical data generated from the adhesion strength tests; and (d) how the data shape an evaluation of Berg’s settings of Baudelaire. Evidence suggests that Berg’s settings of Baudelaire are loosely entangled; the highly prescriptive score affects syntax, semantics, and prosody. Yet, because Der Wein has stood the test of time, the settings are deemed loosely accretive.

Fleurs Du Mal

Known for his 1900 opera, Louise, Gustave Charpentier also published seven Baudelaire songs: four as a set called Les Fleurs du mal; three alongside settings of other poets in Poèmes chantés, a collection of sixteen songs. Charpentier’s Baudelaire songs stand out, and challenge their status as melodies, for their use of refrains for female mini-chorus. The analysis covers: the context of composition; the connections established between selected poems; the statistical data generated from the adhesion strength tests; and how the data shape an evaluation of Charpentier’s settings of Baudelaire. The findings reveal highly intermingled bonds between poem and music. Despite this close connection, the songs themselves are not always stable, creating an uncertain (sometimes dilutive, sometimes accretive) outcome. This indicates a composer attempting to develop new text-setting techniques, alongside an expansive aesthetic agenda informed by a social conscience, as he sought to open up musique savante to wider audiences.

The Way

After training at the Moscow Conservatory, Alexander Gretchaninov studied composition under Rimsky-Korsakov in St Petersburg, where he developed his vocal writing technique. In 1911, he published a set of five Baudelaire songs entitled Les Fleurs du mal. They are printed in parallel text, with the French alongside a Russian translation, and include a motif recurring across the set. The analysis covers: (a) the context of composition; (b) the connections established between selected poems; (c) the statistical data generated from the adhesion strength tests; and (d) how the data shape an evaluation of Gretchaninov’s settings of Baudelaire. Analysis reveals that the songs are highly entangled through the way Gretchaninov deforms the fabric of Baudelaire’s verse. Yet the songs are also accretive, because the flexible approach to text-setting enables Gretchaninov to respond to emotive aspects of the poem. These are songs whose complexity suggests that they were designed for highly trained musicians.

Poet, musician, and Chat noir cabaret artist Maurice Rollinat set Baudelaire to music a number of times during the 1880s. This chapter analyses two key sets of songs published in 1892: Six Poésies de Baudelaire and Six Nouvelles Poésies de Baudelaire. The analysis covers: (a) the context of composition; (b) the connections established between selected poems; (c) the statistical data generated from the adhesion strength tests; and (d) how the data shapes an evaluation of Rollinat’s settings of Baudelaire. The chapter concludes by suggesting that the settings are neither particularly disruptive nor especially cohesive (adhesion strength: loosely intermingled). A relatively high proportion of unexpected accentual stresses in the poetic line is mitigated by regular phrase lengths and breathing spaces. Rollinat’s settings demand a free approach to interpreting the printed score to achieve an accretive song; if the score is followed to the letter, it may create a dilutive song.

Thermally Sprayed

The paper aims to determine, through experiments, the necessary force for detaching the deposited layer (SD) from the support layer (SB). The thermal sprayed coating was formed by successive deposition of two sub-layers, one for anchorage and the second for corrosion resistance. Shear adhesion strength tests were performed on a specialized stand, while force (Fad) and displacement (x) values were recorded with a data acquisition system. The variation curves, Fad = f (x), outline the evolution of the detachment process of the sprayed layer and the two main components of the deformation process: slip and breakage.

In this article the various methods of assessment of gas-thermal coating’s adhesion strength are considered. The methodology of carrying out the strength tests, using traditional methods of quantitative assessment of adhesive strength of a coating towards its basement, is reflected; the advantages and disadvantages of the represented methods are given. In the article, the theoretical justification of the mechanics of adhesive avulsion is given, and the imperfection of conic pins’ usage is shown. Aiming at increasing of the accuracy and quality of the strength tests of gas-thermal coatings, a modernised methodology, as well as the samples (а.с.1436025), related to detection of the adhesion strength, are suggested. The theoretical computation of the reasonableness of usage of ring cross section of the coating, resulted in the event of usage of the offered sample, is given. On the basis of theoretical computation, a defining formula of the adhesive strength is conducted. Comparison tests of adhesion strength with various sample’s designs are completed. The reasonableness and effectiveness of usage of the offered methodology in assessment of gas-thermal coating’s adhesion strength are proven.

The adhesive strength of the metal cord, i. e. the strength of its adhesion to the compound, is one of the most important indicators of the quality of the metal cord. Increasing the amount of adhesive strength allow to improve the performance of finished tires.Determination of the adhesive strength value can be performed by different methods. All methods are based on extracting (pulling) metal cord from a block of vulcanized rubber and fixing the required load. Each method has its own characteristics that affect the amount of adhesive strength. Therefore, when conducting comparative tests, it is necessary to use one of the selected methods.The study of factors that affect the amount of adhesive strength is necessary to identify the causes that lead to its change.The article analyzes how the quality of the used compound affects the adhesive strength. Tests with the use of compounds with various defects were considered and carried out; probable factors leading to deviations in the adhesion strength indicators were determined.

Abstract:Expert systems in medicine are frequently restricted to assisting the physician to derive a patient-specific diagnosis and therapy proposal. In many cases, however, there is a clinical need to use these patient data for other purposes as well. The intention of this paper is to show how and to what extent patient data in expert systems can additionally be used to create clinical registries and for statistical data analysis. At first, the pitfalls of goal-oriented mechanisms for the multiple usability of data are shown by means of an example. Then a data acquisition and inference mechanism is proposed, which includes a procedure for controlling selection bias, the so-called knowledge-based attribute selection. The functional view and the architectural view of expert systems suitable for the multiple usability of patient data is outlined in general and then by means of an application example. Finally, the ideas presented are discussed and compared with related approaches.
