The effect of voice lessons on the clinical and perceptual skills of graduate students in speech-language pathology

Two groups of 10 speech-language pathology graduate students were each given 7 weeks of singing lessons to determine whether voice lessons could have an effect on their clinical and perceptual skills. Pre-, mid-, and posttests to measure various skills were designed and implemented. With use of paired sample statistical testing, statistically significant results were obtained. In addition, the subjective responses of the students show that the lessons were effective in improving pitch perception, breath control, and legato production or easy onset. This study supports efforts to integrate curricula in vocal performance and speech-language pathology.

Synthesis and structure of O-(arylcarbamoyl)butyrhydroximoyl chlorides

The O-(arylcarbamoyl)butyrhydroximoyl chlorides were synthesized, and the x-ray structural analysis (XSA) of one of them — O-(o-tolylcarbamoyl)butyrhydroximoyl chloride — was performed. It was established from the data of the XSA and the PMR spectra that all synthesized compounds are the Z isomers.Institute of Physiologically Active Substances, Russian Academy of Sciences, 142432 Chernogolovka.

有限局部环Z/2\+kZ上斜对称矩阵标准形和伪辛群的阶

设R=Z/2\+kZ(k>1)是\{2\}[TX-]为非单位的有限局部环. 该文首先确定了R上斜对称矩阵标准形. 设G\+m\-p(R,H)={P∈GL\-m(R)|PHP′=H}是由矩阵H确定的伪辛群,其中H=[JB((][HL(2]0[]I\+\{(v)\}\=-I\+\{(v)\}[]0[HL)][JB))]Δ，Δ=[JB((][HL(2]\{2\}[TX-]\+\{k-1\}[]\{1\}[TX-]\=-\{1\}[TX-][]0[HL)][JB))]. 其次,计算了伪辛群G\+m\-P(R,H)的阶|G\+m\-P(R,H)|.     

Extensions of Banach Lie-Poisson spaces

The extension of Banach Lie-Poisson spaces is studied and linked to the extension of a special class of Banach Lie algebras. The case of W∗-algebras is given particular attention. Semidirect products and the extension of the restricted Banach Lie-Poisson space by the Banach Lie-Poisson space of compact operators are given as examples.     

Assignment of chemical shifts in benzohydroxamic acid and structure of its silylated derivatives by 15N enrichment

¹⁵N isotopic enrichment was necessary for the unequivocal assignment of the ¹H NMR lines to the protons in the NH–OH fragment of benzohydroxamic acid, BHXA, C₆H₅CONHOH, in dry dimethyl sulfoxide solutions. The assignment [δ(NH) = 11.21, δ(OH) = 9.01, ¹J(¹⁵N,¹H) = 102.2 Hz, ²J(¹⁵N,¹H) <1.5 Hz], which is opposite to that used by other authors, confirms the assignment extended to BHXA by Brown and co‐workers from the spectra of acetohydroxamic acid. The enrichment allowed also assignment of the ²⁹Si lines in the spectra of disilylated benzohydroxamic acid, (Z)‐tert‐butyldimethylsilyl N‐tert‐butyldimethylsilyloxybenzoimidate (2) and (Z)‐tert‐butyldiphenylsilyl N‐tert‐butyldiphenylsilyloxybenzoimidate (3), and confirmed structure of the monosilylated products, N‐tert‐butyldiphenylsilyloxybenzamide (4) and N‐tert‐butyldiphenylsilyloxy benzoimidic acid (5).

L3C宇宙线实验中Z0数据的分析

μ子动量谱的精确测量是L3C宇宙线实验最重要的目标之一.事例重建的好坏是该测量的关键,而能量确定的衰变为双μ子的事例是检验重建程序的最好手段.该数据分析利用在2000年中获取的数据作为样本,筛选出了LEP在2000年4月、5月、8月和9月等Z⁰能量运行期间L3C宇宙线实验数据中记录的Z⁰→μ⁺μ^－事例数据,得到通过重建程序后动量为45GeV的μ子动量分辨率为(5.4?7±0.25)%.

Convenient preparative method for synthesis of methyl (Z)-3-aryl-2-(carbobenzoxyamino)acrylates by Wittig—Horner reaction with the use of Et3N as a base

The Wittig—Horner reaction of CbzNHCH(CO₂Me)P(O)(OMe)₂ (1) with ArCHO (2) in the presence of Et₃N as a base affords methyl (Z)-3-aryl-2-(carbobenzoxyamino)acrylates (3) with high degrees of diastereoselectivity (Z)/(E) > 101. One recrystallization of the crude product is sufficient to obtain isomerically and chemically pure (Z)-3.Translated fromIzyestiya Akademii Nauk.
