This paper documents the process and outcomes of a digital design project with the aim of translating music into architecture. Parametric software has been used to generate 48 virtual forms from the preludes and fugues of Book I of The Well-Tempered Clavier (BWV 846-869), by Johann Sebastian Bach. The paper discusses historical connections between architecture and music in the Western tradition...

Clinical isolates (869) and stock cultures (35) of Enterobacteriaceae were tested in parallel with the Minitek and conventional systems. The Minitek correctly identified 822 of 904 cultures. When a deoxyribonuclease plate was inoculated along with the Minitek, it was possible to speciate Enterobacteriaceae within 24 h. False-positive hydrogen sulfide reactions were the major fault with this sys...

This review covers the marine natural products literature for the year 2000 and is organized phylogenetically, with sections on marine microorganisms and phytoplankton, green algae, brown algae, red algae, sponges, coelenterates, bryozoans, molluscs, tunicates. echinoderms and miscellaneous marine organisms. There is an emphasis on new structures, stressing their biological activities, source o...

A solar-type system starts from an initial molecular core that acquires organic complexity as it evolves. The so-called prestellar cores can be studied are rare, which has hampered our understanding of how chemistry sets in and grows. Aims. We selected the best targets cold catalogue represent a diversity terms their environment to explore chemical complexity: 1390 (in compressed shell Lambda O...

In this paper we present a detailed study of the intra-cluster reddening material in the young open clusters located around l ∼ 130 using colour-excess diagrams and two-colour diagrams. The study supports the universality of the extinction curves for λ ≥ λJ , whereas for shorter wavelengths the curve depends upon the value of the Rcluster (total-to-selective absorption in the cluster region). T...

Only a small percentage of individuals living in endemic areas develop severe malaria suggesting that host genetic factors may play a key role. This study has determined the frequency of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in some pro and anti-inflammatory cytokine gene sequences: IL6 (-174; rs1800795), IL12p40 (+1188; rs3212227), IL4 (+33; rs2070874), IL10 (-3575; rs1800890) and TGFb1 (+869...
