...Glossary of musical terminology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This is a list of musical terms that are likely to be encountered in printed scores, music reviews, and program notes. Most of the terms are Italian (see also Italian musical terms used in English), in accordance with the Italian origins of many European musical conventions. Sometimes, the special musical meanings of these phrases differ from the original or current Italian meanings. Most of the other terms are taken from French and German, indicated by "(Fr)" and "(Ger)", respectively. Others are from languages such as Portuguese, Latin, and Spanish. Unless specified, the terms are Italian or English. The list can never be complete: some terms are common, and others are used only occasionally, and new ones are coined from time to time. Some composers prefer terms from their own language rather than the standard terms here.

...1. Abstract System Dynamic Modelling is an approach to frame and solve complex problems. It is widely used for policy design and analysis. System dynamics analysis is a part of Systems Theory which is used to study the dynamic behaviour of complex systems. The theory is based on acknowledgement of the fact that the inter-relations between the various components of a model, time delays between processes are as important to analyse the behaviour of a model as is the analysis of individual components. SD models solve the problem of simultaneity (mutual causation) by updating all variables in small time increments with positive and negative feedbacks and time delays structuring the interactions and control. In this paper, we have discussed the basic methodology of the technique, and the modelling process. Then, we have discussed the applications of SDM ranging from conventional ones like project management and science and engineering to exploring the concepts of SDM in Brand management and public health issues. 2. Historical background This technique of solving problems was developed in 1950s by Prof Jay Forrester of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, during his involvement with General Electric. He developed his insights about the foundations of engineering which helped him in the creation of system dynamics. He studied the problem of instability in GE employment. In this he did hand simulations (or calculations) of the stock-flow-feedback structure of the GE plants...

Appendix & References ABSTRACT Purpose - To research on the possible operational problems that may lead to excessive patients’ waiting time. “Priority Operating” changes with time as a patient waits for service and resource gives due consideration to hierarchy present in the skill and selects next available patient for treatment. A patient’s experience in waiting time will radically influence his/her perceptions on quality of the service and to minimizing the cost of carrying excess capacity. Our project aimed at improving the patient experience in the critical care by looking into the problem of excessive wait times in the Critical care and we will identified variations in the critical care and how it is staffed and managed. Although these variations have the potential to sabotage efforts to reduce surgical wait times within the hospital, they also present significant opportunities for change and improvement. Method- This report describes how system dynamics using Stella model was used in the healthcare system...

...- 13 - Uditha Liyanage Abstract Strategy is often confused with planning. The many definitions and delineations of strategy, which highlight one or more aspects of strategy, while ignoring the others, have led to a state of confusion as to what strategy really is. This is evident in the content-analysis of the vision, mission and value statements of a number of companies. Not only were the analysedanalyzed company- - specific statements vague and general, they were also unrelated to one another. Specifically, the espoused values were generic and terminal in nature and unrelated to the tasks and goals at hand. To avoid the confusion in the minds of practitioners, and as reflected in the literature itself, a Strategy Quadrant (content), consisting of Stand, Standing, Shared values and Steps is proposed. The process of developing the 4Ss of strategy is delineated in terms of Mintzberg's "think/see/do first" processes (Strategy Triangle). The context ofcontext of strategy is defined in terms of stability and complexity (Strategy Duality). It is argued that, in complex and unstable contexts, the traditional mode of "think-first" deliberate strategies which set "thinking" apart from "doing" is becoming increasingly ineffective. The unpredictability of complex contexts, in which we operate, leave us with no choice but to be markedly adaptive rather than attempt to be overly prepared. Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) are the order of the day, and the organization's Standing...

...LAB - RADIAL FLOW REACTION TURBINE Objectives: To measure volume flow rate, input head, hydraulic input power, torque, brake power & turbine efficiency when the brake force is increase Theoretical Background: Radial flow When a fluid flows radially inwards or outwards from a centre, between two parallel planes as in Fig. 6.21, the streamlines will be radial straight lines and the streamtubes will be in forms of sectors. The area of flow will therefore increase as the radius increases, causing the velocity to decrease. Since the flow pattern is symmetrical, the total energy per unit weight H will be the same for all streamlines and for all points along each streamlines if we assume that there is no loss of energy. [pic] Figure 6.21 If v is the radial velocity and p is the pressure at any radius r, H = p/ρg + v²/2g = constant …………………………(6.31) Applying the continuity of flow equation flow and assuming that the density of the fluid remains constant, as would be the case for the fluid, Volume rate of flow, Q = area x velocity = 2πrb x v where b is the distance between the planes. Thus, v = Q/2πrb and substituting in equation………(6.31) p/ρg + Q²/ 8π²r²b² = H p = ρg [ H – ( Q²/ 8π²b² ) x ( 1/r² )] …………………..(6.32) If the pressure p at any radius r is plotted in Fig. 6.21(c), the curve will be parabolic and is sometimes referred to as Barlow’s curve.

...Group Dynamics Most people within the organizations belong to some formal work group that establishes temporary or permanent groups to accomplish tasks and achievements. These groups consist of different people within the organization who work together to accomplish objectives of the company (Jex & Britt, 2008). It is important that there is an examination of the behavior of the groups so that a complete understanding of the behavior is obtained. There are many types of groups that people become a part of in their everyday life including family, community, church, and within their profession. Memberships to these groups are important because it plays an important role in their behaviors and attitudes. This paper will identify an organizational group of which I have been a part of and will give analysis of the group dynamics of my chosen group. As a part of the analysis the group will be described including the purpose, goals, and demographic nature such as gender, education, and so forth. The stages are development experienced by the group is described and the structure and effect of the structure on the effectiveness of the group is written to help readers understand the importance of the group.

...The Most Important Characteristic of a Successful Group In my opinion the most important characteristic of a successful group is the Information seeker. It asks for clarification, facts and current information about the group. An information seeker is a very important person in a group because it has the ability to clarify any arguments, ideas and opinions with ease. A very good example of clarification would be that a person in the group will come up with many brainstorming ideas and opinions and is the job of the information seeker to organize and clear every theme so everyone in the group can understand what the topic is being discussed. One of the main problems in a group is that many of the group members sometimes don’t understand the material that is being discussed and more often feel very lost in the process, the information seeker does notice these problems and minimizes it’s stated in the paragraph before, the information seeker gathers facts and current information and it makes it easier for everyone in the group to understand everything that is being discussed. The information seeker also wants to stay current on the topic so it also incorporates a lot of current events regarding the information given. It is very important for an information seeker to keep every opinion and facts in order so the group can get a better understating and keep good moral in the group. In conclusion I do believe that information seeker is the most important characteristic of a successful...

...How to Run a Focus Group * What is a focus group? A focus group is a small and structured meeting of approximately 8 – 10 people. Discussion revolves around a set of pre-determined topics to give you a set of rich qualitative information. Although focus groups take a while to set up and require a budget to run, once done, they can prove an efficient way of getting detailed information on a subject. Expect a focus group to give you a range of views from your target audience, and to find out why people hold these views. A focus group can take place either before or after your event, depending on what you want to find out. For example, if you want to know what motivates your audience to attend an event you might choose to run a focus group before they have seen an event. However, if the information you need is about their opinions of the event itself, then you will obviously need to take them to see something first. * Preparing for Session Invite around 6 to 8 people to participate for a session to last for about an hour. Then, prepare an agenda including a list of the top-level issues to be tackled (if appropriate). Prepare an introduction script explaining the purpose of the day and how the day will be run. This can include issues of consent and fire regulations (if relevant). Be sure to always use a quiet room with few distractions and arrange people in a circle (possibly around a table). * Developing Questions When you go into the group, go in prepared. Don't...

...small groups of people may consist of diverse races, cultures, genders, ethics, religions, personality traits, and behaviors. Team members can successfully collaborate their skills to accomplish a common goal or task High-performance teams have core values; clear performance objectives; the right mix of skills; and diverse creativity (Hunt, J., Osborn, R., Schermerhorn, J., 2005). Open systems, group input factors, group dynamics, and inter-group dynamics are some sources that can help a group to become a high-performance team. These high-performance teams can achieve a more effective and efficient productivity when they collaborate in an open system. This system allows all members to add their creativity to the team. Creativity generates unique and novel responses to problems and opportunities (Hunt, J., Osborn, R., Schermerhorn, J., 2005). The group input factors are the brainstorming ideas of the team members to accomplish and perfect the task. The group dynamics are the successful ways the members interact to get the task completed. Inter-group dynamics is the energy...

...Groups() - A group is defined as two or more individuals - Play an important roles in the lives. - Interacting and Interdependent, - Who have come together to achieve particular objectives. [pic] (Figure Shows Example of Groups, (Prof. Roger N. Nagel, Lehigh University, Pennsylvania, 2006)) - Members similar or dissimilar.(Huczynski, Buchanan, 2001) -Groups can be either formal or informal means: Formal: The deliberate and systematic grouping of people in an organization. What does an organization do? The total no. of people working in an organization is divided into smaller groups (teams or sections or departments)and each group is responsible for fulfilling a task which would ultimately contribute to fulfilling the organization’s goal. This increases the efficiency of the organization. Example :KCB: If we take KCB as an example, we all know that we have a larger goal of training students for the engineering profession. But within this larger goal, we want students to be trained for computer engg, electrical, mech, etc. So this larger goal is divided into departments (example computer department), which is a formal group in this larger organization. So, all the departments together achieve the goal of efficiently training the students for engineering purpose. Informal: The natural and spontaneous grouping of people whenever they work together over a period of time. Whenever people interact and work together over...

At the core of ET792 are a so-called gas generator and a free-running power turbine. The gas generator consists of a radial compressor, a combustion chamber and a radial turbine. The compressor and turbine are mounted on a shaft. The gas turbine works as an open cyclic process, with the ambient air being drawn out and fed back in. Intake and exhaust silencers reduce the noise in operation of the power turbine. The use of propane as the combustion gas ensures clean, odorless operation. A start-up fan is used to start the gas turbine. The air is compressed and fed to the combustion chamber. Before it enters the combustion chamber the air is slowed by means of a diffuser. The air is then split into primary and secondary. The primary air mixes and burns with the fuel and the secondary air cool the exhaust gases. Relevant measuring values are recorded by sensors and indicated on the display and control panel. The energy of the exhaust gas stream is either converted into mechanical...
