Voice-leading analysis of music 2: the middleground

...accounts for the feeling of coherence and unity between the different movements of the sonata. Mozart is one of the earliest composers to create this sort of integrated approach to form, something which was to develop greatly during the 19th century. It’s really an idea associated with Romanticism, and many later works are genuinely a cycle of interconnected movements....

The many guises of the emperor Augustus

...account of origins and history of Rome, used the phrase ‘while they were still in the toga’ (dum togati sint) to describe generals who had not yet left on military campaign (3.10) and the politician and prolific writer Cicero (106–43 BCE) praised the first-century-BCE general and statesman Julius Caesar for being ‘clarus in toga’ – ‘distinguished’ (clarus)...

Wildfires: environmental and social entanglements

...account both environmental and human processes. It suggests looking at how these processes worked together, rather than looking for simple causes and effects taken from either the environmental or human worlds alone. Though each individual wildfire had a distinctive and specific trigger, it was the web of wider processes, circumstances, and events that was key to making...

...account, but you might be able to explain the relative sizes of the statistics. Answer You may have got something similar to Figure 34, with the decision level fairly close to 1. [Described image] Figure 34 Asymmetrical decision level Because the decision level is so close to 1, noise-affected 0 signals very rarely go beyond the decision level. This is why false...

...account for all the substances that exist and that can be made, but in fact there are just 118 different types of atom that have been observed. These are known as the chemical elements and of those 118, only about 90 occur naturally. Each element is represented by a chemical symbol, consisting of one or two letters, for example, H is for hydrogen and He is helium. An...

An introduction to exoplanets

...account for planets orbiting stars other than the Sun. These planets are called exoplanets. The first planet orbiting another Sun-like star was discovered in 1995, and since then astronomers have found over 4000 of these exoplanets. A star along with its exoplanets is known as a planetary system. We now know that our own Solar System is not unique: it is one planetary...

An introduction to minerals and rocks under the microscope

...account for the differences in hardness between the two minerals? Diamond has a three-dimensional bonding pattern, with identical bonding in all directions, and no 'weak' directions. Graphite has a mainly two-dimensional pattern, with sheets of C-C bonds. Bonds between the sheets are very weak, so sheets can easily slide past each other, explaining graphite's use as a...

...account when interpreting samples. Orientation Most histological sections are 2D slices, from a 3D piece of tissue. Exactly what will be seen on the microscope slide depends on the plane of the section; that is, the position of the microtome cut, in relation to the anatomical structures in the tissue. Clinicians attempt to cut tissues in a plane that allows the underlying...
