English Rhythm and Blues Where Language and Music Come Together

English Rhythm and Blues Where Language and Music Come Together

Patrice Larroque hypothesizes that early blues singers may have been influenced by the trochaic rhythm of English. English is stressed and timed which means that there is a regular beat to the language just like there is a beat in a blues song. This regular beat falls on important words in the sentence and unimportant ones do not get stressed. They are “squeezed” between the salient words to keep the rhythm. The apparent contradiction between the fundamentally trochaic rhythm of spoken English and the syncopated ternary rhythm of blues may be resolved as the stressed syllables of the trochee (a stressed-unstressed sequence) is naturally lengthened and assumes the role of one strongly and one weakly stressed syllable in a ternary rhythm. The book suggests investigating the rhythm of English and the rhythm of blues in order to show how the linguistic rhythm of a culture can be reflected in the rhythm of its music. | English Rhythm and Blues Where Language and Music Come Together

Bayesian Designs for Phase I-II Clinical Trials

Bayesian Designs for Phase I-II Clinical Trials

Reliably optimizing a new treatment in humans is a critical first step in clinical evaluation since choosing a suboptimal dose or schedule may lead to failure in later trials. At the same time if promising preclinical results do not translate into a real treatment advance it is important to determine this quickly and terminate the clinical evaluation process to avoid wasting resources. Bayesian Designs for Phase I–II Clinical Trials describes how phase I–II designs can serve as a bridge or protective barrier between preclinical studies and large confirmatory clinical trials. It illustrates many of the severe drawbacks with conventional methods used for early-phase clinical trials and presents numerous Bayesian designs for human clinical trials of new experimental treatment regimes. Written by research leaders from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center this book shows how Bayesian designs for early-phase clinical trials can explore refine and optimize new experimental treatments. It emphasizes the importance of basing decisions on both efficacy and toxicity. | Bayesian Designs for Phase I-II Clinical Trials

Volume 19 Tome I: Kierkegaard Bibliography Afrikaans to Dutch

Volume 19 Tome I: Kierkegaard Bibliography Afrikaans to Dutch

The long tradition of Kierkegaard studies has made it impossible for individual scholars to have a complete overview of the vast field of Kierkegaard research. The large and ever increasing number of publications on Kierkegaard in the languages of the world can be simply bewildering even for experienced scholars. The present work constitutes a systematic bibliography which aims to help students and researchers navigate the seemingly endless mass of publications. The volume is divided into two large sections. Part I which covers Tomes I-V is dedicated to individual bibliographies organized according to specific language. This includes extensive bibliographies of works on Kierkegaard in some 41 different languages. Part II which covers Tomes VI-VII is dedicated to shorter individual bibliographies organized according to specific figures who are in some way relevant for Kierkegaard. The goal has been to create the most exhaustive bibliography of Kierkegaard literature possible and thus the bibliography is not limited to any specific time period but instead spans the entire history of Kierkegaard studies. | Volume 19 Tome I: Kierkegaard Bibliography Afrikaans to Dutch
