“Thus Fell Tecumseh” by Frank E. Kuron

Why the Theremin Fell By the Wayside

The theremin was the first major electronic musical instrument. Players cause the theremin to produce sound without contact at all by manipulating electromagnetic fields with their hands. This unique design often sparks interest in those that learn about it, but despite this fact, the theremin has remained in relative obscurity since its invention. This paper discusses the history of the therem...

And Some Fell by the Wayside

Angela Palmer is also responsible for the Ghost Forest installation, which was displayed in Copenhagen, London, and Oxford, and which recently moved to its final resting place at the National Botanic Garden of Wales at Llanarthne, Carmarthenshire. It includes ten large tree stumps from a commercially logged rainforest in West Africa. The trees are meant to draw attention to the alarming loss of...

Fell Bundles over Groupoids

We study the C*-algebras associated to Fell bundles over groupoids and give a notion of equivalence for Fell bundles which guarantees that the associated C*-algebras are strong Morita equivalent. As a corollary we show that any saturated Fell bundle is equivalent to a semi-direct product arising from the action of the groupoid on a C*-bundle. A C*-algebraic bundle (see [F2, §11]) over a locally...

And their enthusiasm for bioethics grows exponentially in proportion to their interest in showing that they are doing something about managing research ethics issues at their institutions. The same can be said about the entire biomedical research es...
