Phytoalexin in Plants, Types & Function
Phenolic compounds which do not exist in the plant but are formed as a result of interactions between the host and the pathogen are called phytoalexin.
Phytoalexins Meaning
The literal meaning of the word "alexin" is "to ward off". Therefore, substances produced as a result of host-pathogen interactions that could ward off the pathogens were called phytoalexins.
Phytoalexin may be defined as "a substance which inhibits the development of a fungus on hypersensitive tissue, formed mainly when host plant cells come in contact with the parasite" (Agrios, 1978).
The term phytoalexin was coined by Muller and Borger in 1940 while studying the "late blight" of potato (by Phytophthora infestans). they found that a toxic chemical compound, a phytoalexin, was produced during necrobiosis by the living host cells as a result of interaction between the metabolic system of the host and the fungal parasite.
Phytoalexins are produced in certain amounts in plants only after stimulation by fungi and other micro-organisms or chemical and mechanical injury, and inhibit the growth of plant-pathogenic micro-organisms. Phytoalexins have now been detected even in healthy and unstimulated tissues. They are more toxic to non-pathogens than to the pathogen.
Aflatoxin meaning, in food & treatment
Types of Phytoalexins
Nowadays, photoalexins are defined as antibiotics produced in host-pathogen interactions or as a response to injury or other physiological stimuli.
Several such toxic substances i.e. phytoalexins have been isolated, some of which are: ipomeamarone from Ipomoea batatas, orchinal from Orchis militaris, pisatin from Pisum sativum, isocoummarin from Daucus carota var. sativa, phaseolin from Phaseolus vulgaris, rishitin and lyubimin from cultivated potato, etc.
Phytoalexins are produced in lower concentrations by pathogenic fungi and other micro-organisms than non-pathogenic.
Besides, pathogenic fungi and other micro-organisms are less sensitive to the toxicity of the phytoalexin produced by their host-plant than non-pathogonic micro-organisms.
Phytoalexins are broad-based antifungal compounds. however bacteriostatic property has also been detected in a few cases.
Phytoalexins are not determined by stimulants, moreover their production is the characteristic property of hosts. The biosynthesis of phytoalexin is influenced by several factors, such as age of the host, inoculum concentration, environmental temperature, and aeration, etc.
In nature, the micro-organisms serve as the main inducers while in the laboratory some chemicals (heavy metal ions, some amino acids, metabolic inhibitors, etc.) induce the phytoalexin synthesis.
In general, phytoalexins are not translocated and rarely persistent. Phytoalexins accumulate more rapidly and in greater amounts in resistant than in susceptible reactions. The role of phytoalexin as a protectant is doubtful.

Very nice selection of bearded beauties. For the first time in my 43 years I am growing a beard. It has been about 3.5 months and now I am afraid to get it trimmed. I need to find a hipster beard stylist which might be hard to do here in DC.

Hi Heather,
I am one of the many who now have a beard.
Never thought in my life I would grow one. But they can look so good on so many different people of any age, (as we can clearly see in your photo montage).
Thanks for the wonderful post on the boys beard.
Warm wishes,
Lori November 21, 2012 | 2:32 pm

6 Hour Trail Race Completed!
Well that was the muddest and most hillest race I have ever done!
In a strange way I enjoyed every bit of it, even when it poured down, I think it made it more exciting.
The night before the race I was feeling very anxious as I had never done anything like this before, yes I had completed a couple of Ironmans a few years ago but this was just running for 6 hours.
I was worried I had not trained enough as I had only been running twice a week.
I also needed to think about nutrition, if you get this wrong it could really effect your performance. I had my handy Salomon hydration/back pack so I could fit 2 x 500ml bottles and energy bars and gels in. I knew after a few hours I would have to top up my water so I had 2 other bottles prepared.
Race day!
I woke up at 7am and had my coffee and breakfast. For breakfast I had a very simple peanut butter and banana bagel. I love peanut butter and banana, I could eat it everyday.
I choose this for breakfast as sometimes with porridge I can feel really bloated and full which then makes me feel really sleepy.
Most mornings I have poached eggs with something, but for a race morning I find eggs don't always sit very well.
Once the car was packed with spare running kit, after race kit, food, drink and myself, I was ready to head to Westbury. This took me about an hour, I then had to find a place to park as you couldn't park at the leisure centre.
Walking from my car to the race HQ took 10 minutes to walk, I had to carry my ruck sack and plastic box with food, water etc. it was so heavy, my arms felt like they were going to fall off. This then didn't help me mentally as I then started to panic about being tired for the race, for all the people that know me, I am not always the best before a race anyway.
Once I got over that little panic I sat inside the race HQ marque and just chilled before the start, but yet again once others started to appear I begin to panic about what everyone looked like, I could hear them talking about other ultra races they had completed. Why do I always do this!?!
All 3 races 10km, 6hour and 12hour all started at 11am, there was a thorough briefing which was good to listen too.
The race started and I found myself at the front with 2 guys, I think I might have set off too quick, however I kept checking my heart rate make sure I kept it low. That didn't last long as there were 3 hills each lap.
Each lap was 5.3 miles with 800ft of climbing, I found that there was going to be no chance I was sticking to zone 2.
First lap I thought I would try and keep my feet as dry as possible, yet again that wasn't going to happen, within 2 mins we had to run through a massive puddle. Once we got to the first hill everyone started walking. It was so steep!!! So steep and muddy that I couldn't even get up it, I kept slipping back down, this then explained why most people had trekking poles. I eventually found trees were quite handy to pull myself up with, I then began to think what have I let myself in for.
I then got to the 2nd hill was mainly looked more clay like underfoot, this made it super slippy running down. I lost the 2 guys when running down this as they flew down and I looked like Bambi on ice. Once you had run down the 2nd hill you had to turn around and run straight back up, this I found I could walk pretty quickly up and then managed to catch the guys again.
Between the 2nd and 3rd hill there was a flat bit of track which wasn't too muddy, I liked this bit as I could pick up my pace a little. I finally got to the 3rd hill, again we ran down it and then back up it. The course was like a M shape.
After the first lap you head back to towards the HQ marque and then you could stop to re fuel or carry onto the next lap. After lap 2 I had got to grips with the decents as a very nice chap advised me to run down the muddy bits rather than the bits that had white clay, I was a lot more confident about running downhill which made me relax a little more into the race.
Going into lap 3 I began to feel that I had something in my shoe, I realised that my socks were so wet and because they had 2 layers the outside layer had bunch together under my toe, how annoying! I thought about leaving it but then decided to stop after my 3rd lap to change my socks. I had completed over 15miles at this point so when I stopped it wasn't easy to start running again. I think it took only a few minutes to swap my socks which was good as I didn't know how far behind the 2nd lady was.
4th took me a while to find my legs again, but finally was back running strong, I felt good which surprised me.
Although it was pouring with rain I was loving the mud and the friendly people that were always cheering you on. I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to organise a race like this.
During the 5th lap I began to feel my legs getting heavier and heavier, I looked at the time and realised once the 5th lap was done I would only have time for one more lap. Although it was 6 hours, it was only full laps that counted. At this point I was beginning to get slightly emotional, it was getting dark and I was getting tired, I had no idea how people were doing the 12 hour, they must have been crazy!
As I ran into the finish on the 6th lap Trevor had managed to come and cheer me on, he had been at work all day so really appreciated him coming all that way to just watch me finish. I was so happy to finish, I ran straight to the showers and got some dry clothes on. Once I had changed I was told I had won not only the women's race but overall. I had ran a lap more than the guy who came in first, I was beginning to think I had caught the ultra running bug.
I defintatly think I will race more but not at this moment in time, I want to get some speed in my legs for triathlon season. I could see if I focused on ultras you would soon loose your speed when running longer distances, I might be completely wrong but don't want to risk it, not just yet anyway.....
Final result = 32 miles with nearly 6000ft of climbing in 5hours 32mins.
So that was how my first race of the season went, many more to go!!!

AN unvaccinated mum saw her newborn baby for just two seconds before she died of Covid, her heartbroken husband has revealed.
Samantha Willis, 35, also never got to hold little Eviegrace following an agonising 16-day stint in hospital with the virus.
She was desperate to have her partner Josh by her side but was forced to give birth alone.
Samantha only had her family on FaceTime for support during the emergency C-section – something else she never wanted to have.
Josh said he had tried to arrange for her to cradle their daughter before her condition worsened, but sadly it was too late.
Samantha died days later on August 20, with her funeral and Eviegrace's christening taking place in the same emotional service the following week.
Today, Josh shared the pain of losing his wife, who tragically never got to properly meet their youngest daughter.
He told Good Morning Britain: "When the baby was born, she dropped down slightly and it was like 'here's your daughter' and then they whisked her off into the next room because of close contact with Covid, and obviously they have checks they do on newborns anyway.
"So it was two, three seconds tops that she had seen her.
"She carried her for eight months and then never got to hold her in her arms."
He added that the "two things she never wanted to do at any time" were to have a C-section and "give birth on her own".
"Me and our daughter were on a FaceTime call while it was happening," Josh said.
"She had gotten over the part that she needed to have a section as it was safer for her and the baby at the time.
"The fact that we were on a FaceTime meant we were kind of there with her."
The dad-of-four – who said goodbye to Samantha at her funeral where two-week-old Eviegrace was carried behind her coffin – previously revealed the "love of his life" had not had a coronavirus jab.
The official advice when she found out she was pregnant was not to have it until after giving birth, but this was later updated after studies showed it was safe.
Samantha decided as she didn't have long left of her pregnancy, she would wait.
Josh, from Strathfoyle, Northern Ireland, said he hopes by sharing his and Samantha's story he can encourage others – including expectant mothers – to get vaccinated against Covid and save lives.
I would not wish this on anybody.
He told GMB's Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard: "I know that she had cared about people getting the vaccine.
"I feel this is the last thing I can do for her to basically try to make her proud.
"If we save one person or one family from going through what Samantha and we as a family have had to go through then I think we've done her proud and she'd be happy.
"Hopefully some day she can thank me for it.
"I would not wish this on anybody."
Josh said he and his wife had avoided pubs and restaurants during lockdown, had consistently worn face masks, and he had worked from home while Samantha was on maternity leave and their kids were off school.
Despite their precautions, the couple contracted the virus on the same day while Samantha was pregnant.
Sadly her condition worsened and she was rushed to Altnagelvin Area Hospital in Derry.
Samantha "put up a strong fight" but died 16 days later.
She leaves behind her husband, four children – Shéa, Holly, Lilyanna and Eviegrace – her parents and extended family.

We know there are well documented risks for alcohol consumption in pregnancy. Drinking while pregnant can bring on various elements of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Both Mayo Clinic and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are very straightforward about exposing unborn children to alcohol. DON'T. In fact, Mayo recommends you not drink during childbearing years because you might be pregnant and not know it. Other researchers are a little less restrictive, indicating that a little bit of drinking in early pregnancy and during breastfeeding does not appear to be harmful.
The risks of alcohol consumption when a mother is breastfeeding, however, are less well defined than drinking alcohol while pregnant. There is a notion that beer is good for lactating mothers. Indeed, during the Middle Ages and into the early 20th century, breastfeeding women were instructed to drink beer:
"For centuries, lactating women have been given advice about drinking alcohol. While some advice claimed that the most frequent source of acquired alcoholism was exposure to alcohol in mother's milk, others recommended that the mother or wet nurse drink alcoholic beverages, especially beer, to increase her milk supply and strengthen her breast-feeding infant (Robinovitch, 1903; Routh, 1879). In response to the latter folklore, beer companies marketed low alcoholic beers or "tonics" during the early 1900s as a means for women to stimulate their appetite, increase their strength, and enhance their milk yield (Krebs, 1953)."
The implication was that beer was a nutritious food playing an important part in keeping a woman's milk supply up. As much as we might like to think beer is good for nursing, the beer of the Middle Ages was a different animal from the beer produced today. Today, alcohol and breast feeding recommendations vary from waiting two hours after having a glass of wine to drinking no alcohol at all.
Various groups working with the health of women and children have defined what they consider to be the limits of alcohol consumption during breastfeeding:
- The World Health Organization recommends no alcohol use during breast feeding.
- The American Academy of Pediatrics says that occasional alcohol use of about 8 ounces of wine or two cans of beer per day might be acceptable. They recommend waiting two hours after the last drink before breast feeding.
- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is less liberal, but they do not prohibit the use of any alcohol. They recommend waiting four hours after one drink before breastfeeding.
- The Contemporary OB/GYN offers advice similar to the pediatricians, but acknowledge that the long term effects of alcohol in breast milk remain unknown.
The levels of alcohol in breastmilk will be nearly the same as the blood alcohol level of the mother. Alcohol molecules are relatively small and pass easily into the mother's milk. You might think alcohol would increase your milk supply, but actually, it decreases the amount of your breast milk. Oxytocin is needed for lactation, particularly milk let-down. We have known for years that alcohol inhibits the production of oxytocin. In fact, up until about 1925, alcohol was used to stop labor.
Another consideration is that alcohol, even a small mount, can shorten or disrupt your baby's sleep. Babies metabolize alcohol at about half the rate of an adult. Think about that. Although the blood alcohol level may be about the same in the mother and baby, the baby's metabolism doesn't remove the alcohol as quickly as an adult, so the baby remains exposed to alcohol for a longer period of time than the mother.
We know that even though the barley in the beer might support the milk production process, the suppression of oxytocin by the alcohol in beer appears to decrease the amount of milk babies actually get while nursing. It has been shown that babies drink about 20 percent less milk after alcohol consumption even when the alcohol comes from beer. Beer is not recommended as a means to increase milk supply.
At the end of the day, there is probably more that we don't know than what we do know about the effects of drinking alcohol while breastfeeding. Every women has to decide for herself how she will handle alcohol and breastfeeding.

New London, CT (May 22, 2020) - In coordination with the City of New London and the Freedom Trail Neighborhood Association, Lawrence + Memorial Hospital (L+M) is pleased to announce that it has made a $75,000 donation to the City of New London to further the city's efforts to develop a public park at 43 Hempstead Street.
The development of the 0.6 acre lot will provide greenspace to neighbors and support L+M's work in improving the health and wellness of the community it serves. The City Council approved the purchase of the 0.6 acres parcel at its May 18 meeting.
"We have a vision to enhance the lives of the people we serve which includes being pro-active as it relates to health and wellness," said Patrick Green, president and CEO, Lawrence + Memorial Hospital. "We all know what a little extra open space in our lives can do to improve the way we feel. An expanse of green can help us breathe easier, reduce stress and simply feel more positive about who we are and where we live. These things are at the root of improving community health overall."
Green further stated that L+M Hospital enthusiastically embraces quality of life improvements in the community because health care is not limited to what happens inside the hospital. "We're reaching out because improving health is quite literally about things like parks, fresh air and the grassroots cooperation between neighbors, municipalities and organizations like ours," Green said. "We're proud to be working together for a healthier future."
"I am so thrilled with the way our community pulled together to help the Hempstead Historic Neighborhood realize its dream of establishing public open space on this important parcel," New London Mayor Michael Passero said. "We are thankful for the generosity of the Shiloh Development Corporation and L+M Hospital that has enabled the city to move forward with this significant quality of life initiative."
The Freedom Trail Neighborhood Association (FTNA) has advocated transforming the property into an active recreational green space for over twenty years. "This is a game-changer," said FTNA Co-President Estelle Harrison. "Mayor Passero, Social Services Director Jeanie Milstein, Director of Development and Planning Felix Reyes, along with City Council President Dominguez and our City Councilors, all are to be commended for their vision and leadership in bringing people together.
"This is key to addressing this blight in our community and improving the health of inner-city children and adults." FTNA Treasurer Kathleen Barrett added, "We are grateful to L&M for its donation to the City for funds to acquire the property, and look forward to being a strong community partner on this important project."
In its recently completed Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), the Southeastern CT Health Improvement Collaborative notes that sedentary behavior is strongly correlated with chronic disease and impacts longevity. Residents who lack access to safe and available spaces for recreation or whose economic situations limit their ability to be physically active are at greater risk. L+M is a member of the collaborative.
The City's acquisition of 43 Hempstead Street aligns with both the CHNA and comprehensive Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) which identify significant disparities on numerous indicators, including life expectancy, poverty, educational attainment, social cohesion, and chronic disease, many of which disproportionately impact certain geographies and people of color in our region.
Investing in efforts to positively impact the social determinants of health in the neighborhoods where there are the greatest needs has the potential to dramatically improve the health and well-being of its residents. The City's creation of a safe place for recreation and social gathering in a challenged neighborhood can in and of itself have a positive impact but will also be a catalyst for other neighborhood improvements.
L+M encourages healthier living by offering an array of programs, services and opportunities that engage people in the community.

Some Foolias
Some composers were so much inspired by the continuous repetition
and variation techniques that they made a reference to La Folia in the
title of their somewhat different compositions. So there are at least
four 'local' Folias: from France, Holland and the cities of Paris and Liège (Belgium).
Other reasons for mentioning the name Folia or Folies could be ignorance of the musical Folia-theme or an effort to express madness in the literal sense of the word.
This piece is note based upon the Folia-Theme (used by Corelli). For futhers information contact my publisher : Editions Jobert, Paris.
It was performed regularly by the York Winds for whom it was commissioned and later appeared on a Centrediscs vinyl recording (now out of print). Aitken said about the title: 'It was written in the fall of the year at the MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire, and intentionally reflects the random order and rich colors of nature as exhibited by trees and 'foliage'. The music follows an idea of all things relating and flowing into each other and, while there are random aspects, it is not at all a 'free piece'.
The instrumental repertoire of the Musical Archive of Moxos is limited and consists only of about 12 pieces.
The works come from two periods of the life at the missions. The oldest ones became part of the collection during
the first half of the XVIII Century. According to reports from that time, this repertoire was large and consisted of music for small
instrumental groups, for specific string and wind instruments (sonatas and concertos) and for keyboard. It would seem that,
at least in some instances, the Indians also used select indigenous instruments in the playing of this repertoire.
Nonetheless, it has not been possible to establish until now how they did it.
This work was found in the Archive only in 2003 and the present interpretation is the first one in over a century, possibly longer

|Opening of Couperin's Les Folies françoises
Les Folies françoises ou Les Dominos are among Couperin's most famous pieces, and justly so. La Follia is a Portuguese dance; by way of reaction to the Folies d'Espagne (Spanish Folies), then the rage, Couperin also composed Folies. In his hands they adopt French nationality. The composer clearly had Corelli's Follia in mind, as he borrows it form. Couperin's 'international' suite consisting of a theme and eleven variations, is a vast Chaconne, or rather, a Passacaglia. The work is a tightly-knit, which has to be performed as such. Like a carnival procession, each virtue or sentiment tendre is disquised as a folie beneath the mask of a suitable domino.Philippe Beaussant wrote about Les Folies françoises:
Here the title is intelligible only if one understands the implications of
the word folies in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, as wel
as well as the fact that it had nothing to do with la furia france-
se. The folia was a dance with a destiny strangely similar to
that of the passacaglia, the chaconne, and the sarabande.
This dance, or, more accurately, this masquerade, was performed in Portugal
on certain feast-days. Folia (madness) was an appropriate name: the
dancers, in fancy dress and accompanied by the guitar, performed all manner
of sung and mimed improvisations. Like the passacaglia and the
sarabande, the folia crossed the Pyrenees and made its way into
Baroque Europe - and, like those dancers, as it spread, it became tamer,
calmer, more formal, until its only madness was that retained in its title.
In its moderate form, the theme of the Folies d'Espagne (The Spanish Follies) became extremely popular during the European Baroque, and it is this point in its history that concerns us here. Lully wrote some lovely variations which Philidor preserved. Corelli ended his Opus V with a folia so tame and restrained that it served as the perfect vehicle for his violinistic expertise and ideal testimony to his own artistry. Marin Marais's Second Livre of the Pieces de viole used the form as the occasion for a miracle of lyricism and virtuosity. Thus, through a curious process of evolution, the folia became, to the public, the most popular and yet the most hackneyed type of air, and to the musician, the symbol of a work in which a master composer set forth a precis or a proclamation of what he believed to be his most unique and valuable contribution.
At precise this moment, Couperin entered the fray with that halfsmile of his, pretending he had not changed the folia in the slightest and saying, " After all these Folies d'Espagne, here are the Folies francoises (The French Follies). This had several different meanings. First, it meant that the music expressed a total commitment - it was music engage. It took its place at a precise point in the history of music, alongside and in opposition to other works. Couperin was wholly aware of its position, for he was the pmost perceptive composer of his day. Even before Rameau, his works took a well-defined, almost polemic direction within the unfolding history of music. L'Apotheose de Lully, L'Apotheose de Corelli , and Les Fastes de la Grande et Ancienne Mxnxstrxndxsx. In these pieces, Couperin was playing a well-defined intellectual game, which was independent of their musical worth. To a lesser degree, Les Folies francoises, too, must be understood within this context.
Moreover the fact that this music belongs to the genre of folies reveals something else about its nature. It is not, at least initially or essentially, a series of colorfull, charming little pictures. The anecdotal aspect of Les Folies francoises is not secondary, but it does come second. The work is primarily a series of variations similar in form to a passacaglia, but one quite different from the variations of Corelli and more like the passacaglia in B minor of the Huitieme Ordre. Ignoring the titles and subtitles, let us look at the work:
1) A graceful theme in triple time. Couperin was obviously thinking of Corelli here; the first two measures are taken verbatim from the Concerto per la notte di Natale. But the theme itself is French, as simple as a song, saying everything it has to say in only a few measures. Its striking features are its grace and charm.
2) [technical description of every variation]
These are the Folies of Couperin as they might have appeared if Couperin had been other than he was, or if they had not been pointedly French.
For this is the aspect of the work that reveals its explicit purpose. Couperin ostentatiously naturalized the Folies, taking the position that they were resolutely French. It is interesting to note those qualities which to Couperin's mind, made them so unquestionably and conspicuously French.
In the proces of naturalization, they became images; thus they clearly indicate the link between the life of the imagination and music as Couperin, together with so many other French musicians, conceived it. [...]

All seven couplets for flute (original violin) and b.c. (harpsichord)
|Opening of De Folies van Holland
|by J.A.H. Wagenaar 1957
According to the title page the work has been written for either violin, flute or oboe.
It can be played with or without basso continuo (e.g. viola da gamba, viola or bassoon.
The addition of a keyboard is optional. The two parts of the score can also be played on
a single harpsichord, clavichord or piano with an occasional filling out of the harmonies.
And the composer does not promise too much. For, the 42 rather easy and succinct pieces
(organised in 6 suites) may be originally written for the violin - this can be deduced
from the occasional double-touch and the low setting of some of the pieces - but sound
just as rewarding when executed on another instrument.
Who Domingo S. del Croebelis was, I have not been able to trace. It is very probable though, that behind this very Spanish name a common Dutchman hid himself. The titles as well as the character most of the tunes points in that direction. A few pieces have a slight French or Italian intonation, but are essentially a direct continuation of the typically Dutch "plugge" dances, that were very popular in Holland at the end of the 17th century.
The book itself bears no dates. But from the typography and the style of the pieces it can be rather accurately dated around the year 1745.
The 'Folies van Holland' are seven variations on a simple melody in 3/4 time. Del Croebelis here gives a Dutch version of the Follia-variations (Corelli!) that were very popular in the 17th and 18th century. The basic melody, however, differs from the usual Folia melody in that it is more some kind of menuet with variations. Del Croebelis probably had the violin in mind when writing these variations.
Continuing Dmitri Dianov's expertimentations in earlier styles, the Folia (1996) leads us to an even more abstract, spiritual world, which is at the same time more human, psychological, and where the language and forms of the past intertwine with the richness of contemporary discourse
Folia begins its evolution from a unified texture of sustained tones into extended solo and ensemble passages. [...] The title, meaning layers, refers to the resulting texture.
The third movement arises from this tragic background: a chaconne whose title, Folia, may recall the ancient dance of that name but is more directly related to the consequences of quite another kind of human folia, or madness. The movement's elegiac character is sustained by an unbroken 6/8 rhythm and an uninterrupted sequence of three notes (E, A and G sharp) which appears 71 times, first in the viola, then in the cello part, and finally (a last farewell) in the first violin.
As Puebla drove them to the concert, Mazzola recalls, "he played a CD of
Rachmaninoff's Corelli Variations for us. It was a revelation to me. I didn't
know it, and I promised Emilio that I was going to make my own variation on
the Corelli theme."
As it turned out, the theme became a crucial agent in the performance. Mazzola continues, "you can in fact hear the short theme (something like c...d...b.....a...b...a-flat) all over the concert. It turned out that the theme fits incredibly well in my own harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic strategies."
The theme that Rachmaninoff worked with, from Corelli's 12th Violin Sonata in D minor, first published in 1700, was already a found theme. It had its source in the "Folía", madness, dance that originated in the late fifteenth century as a fertility dance, with each dancer carrying another, dressed as a woman, on his shoulders (the levity of the burdens of history). The dance, its participants "literally driven mad by the noise and the stirring rhythm", was eventually refined into a court dance far from its origins, but it has had an extraordinary history as a musical theme that is traced in detail in the web-site La Folia: A Musical Cathedral. (See http://people.a2000.nl/pgabler).
Geisser and Mazzola decided to call this CD Folía for its spontaneous mixture of madness and control. Just as germane as that central inspiration are the individual titles here, setting the performance in the Aztec world, both mythic and historical, of Mexico City.
So the most exciting thing about tonight is the world premiere tonight of Ego Folium by composer Jorden Heys. This piece was commissioned by @melbrecital especially for us!! Thanks Jorden! We can't wait to perform your piece for the first time tonight! As ity.
Giber Folia, composed in 1973, was first premiered at "Piccola Scala" on the 30th of April 1974, during the celebration of Malipiero's 60th birthday. The title is the anagram of the name of clarinet player Gerbi Alfio, to whom the composition is dedicated. "Folia" is the english degeneration of "Follia", a musical structure from 17th century which eventually would became an air with variations on a "basso" not always "ostinato". In English 'Giber' means mocker, sneerer, but as the composer states in the preface "has no reference at all with people involved". The work has an airy and fluency feeling of his own, along with Malipiero's typical sudden and unexpected changes, from pseudo-elegiac of the beginning to fast hammer-style of piano solo, from soft pastel of "Tempo I" to "con rabbia" (with anger) that reveal intensely marked spirals, and so on during the whole composition: a gemmation developing conversation, like a growing weed, that takes shiny and refracting faces of a prism, but with rounded off edges thanks to a hearty and fluent talk, rapidly complying to the spirit and technique of the chosen wind instrument. Particularly remarkable the episode in 15/8 tempo (nearly a variation) that became a 12/8, a very rare if not unique tempo in Malipiero's compositions, who has a sort of idiosyncrasy to x/8 tempos used as standard fixed background rhythm. Even remarkable the short and aleatory finale, not to be intended as a coquetry but, as presented and controlled, rather as a calm down before the end, coherently with general trend of a composition made by sonic chemistry whose elements spontaneously interact and melt into distilled and clear solutions.
Folia daliniana, Montsalvatge's most recent symphonic work, was premiered
during the Festival Internacional de Cadaqués in July 1997. In Folia daliniana
Montsalvatge was inspired by the life and work of the painter Salvador Dalí.
Dalí, widely recognised as one of the greatest painters in the 20th century,
was closely associated with the town of Cadaqués, situated on the 'Costa Brava',
the rocky Mediterranean coastline north of Barcelona. Montsalvatge wanted to evoke
Dali's deep identification with the special atmosphere of Cadaqués and the countryside
which surrounds the town which were always a source of inspiration for Dalí. Montsalvatge
based 'Folia daliniana' on the Folia de España, a dance based on a simple minor-key
chord progression that was popular in Renaissance Spain and Portugal. The Folia became
the basis for countless Baroque Sarabandes as well as innumerable 18th and 19th century
sets of variations
Folia daliniana is scored for four soloists - flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon - with string orchestra and percussion. It was written as a concertino, in which the orchestra and soloists join together in the intrada or ripieno, which, in turn, alternates with a virtuosic intermezzo for each soloist.

The 27 opening bars of the piece
Then there are the delightful 'Bagatelles ou Folies de Liège' where a basso ostinato recur in twelve variations in the manner of a passacaglia and with mounting virtuosity; a minuet rounds the 'folies de Liège' off like a kind of final variation. But it should be noted that the theme is quite unlike the ubiquitous 'Folies d'Espagne' associated with Corelli. Whether Renotte based based it on a local tune is hard to say since progressions in thirds over a ground bass were a commonplace of early 18th-century music. The 17th-century fashion for the follia was declining during his lifetime, though Grétry for instance was later to revive it. José Quintin has pointed out that knowledge of it was still taken for granted in the opera 'Les Hypocontes'by Renotte's Walloon compatriot Jean Noël Hamal.
Die von den Violinen und dem Vibraphon in Engführung
vorgetragenen Themen in dem mit "LA FOLLIA" bezeichneten Satz II
aus dem "CONCERTO GROSSO PER BATTERIA* E DUE ORCHESTRE D'ARCHI von Witold
Rudzinski sind nicht identisch mit der durch Corelli berühmt gewordenen "Folies
d'Espagne". Sie erscheinen auch nicht in der Bassgruppe (Contrabässe pizzicato).
Womöglich steht Rudzinskis "Concerto grosso", welches stilistisch der sogenannten Avantgarde** des 20.Jahrhunderts zuzuordnen ist, im Kontext zu Arnold Schönbergs Umarbeitung von Händels "Concerto grosso" op.6 Nr.7 zum "Konzert für Streichquartett und Streichorchester".
Denn Schönberg hielt Händel für radikal verbesserungsbedürftig. Deshalb "verbesserte" Schönberg auf seine Art Händels (an Corelli orientiertes) "Concerto grosso", womit er es aber in Wahrheit zerstörte wie die Musik selbst.
Theodor W(iesengrund) Adorno ("Frankfurter Schule") konnte es zu allem Übel nicht lassen, noch eins draufzusetzen, indem er um 1956 nachtrat und sinngemäß verkündete: Wer sich heutzutage noch an einem "provokant gesunden Concerto grosso" von Händel labe, der gehöre zu den "Schmetterlingssammlern".
Vielleicht wollte Rudzinski sich der "Frankfurter Schule" andienen? Und demonstriert mit seinem "Concerto grosso", dass nicht nur Händels, sondern auch Corellis und Geminianis Concerti grossi - incl. Geminianis Streichorchesterfassung von Corellis "Follia" - "radikal verbessert" werden müssten?
Kurzum: dies meine Assoziationen beim Betrachten von Rudzinskis Partiturauszug.

概要 編集
極限は、入力値がある値に近づいていくとき関数に何が起こるかをあらわすものです。 正式な極限の表記法は以下のとおりです。
これは"関数f(x)においてxがaに限りなく近づくとき、その極限はLである"と読みます。 どうすれば関数f(x)でaにおいて極限が存在するかどうかを推測できるでしょうか。あるいは、どうすれば極限が、我々が後に取り上げる技術的なに定まるということを推測できるでしょうか。 これから我々はそれを直感的な見地から見ていきたいと思います。
まず我々が興味をもつのが関数 でxが2に近づく時の極限です。そんな興味深いものを、以下のような表記法を用いて書きあらわすことができます。
この極限を求めるのを試みるためのひとつの方法が、2に近い値を選んで2に近づいていくときに、f(x)をそれぞれ計算して何が起こるかを見てみるということです。 この操作は次のようにして行います。
表から、xが2に近づいていくにつれ、2よりも大きい数字、あるいは小さい数字のどちら側からxを2に近づけていくかにかかわらず、f(x)は4に近づいていくことがわかります。このことから、かなりの可能性で、xが2に近づいていくとき の極限は4であるとわかり、極限表記で次のように書かれます。
それでは別の例を見て見ましょう。我々が関数 に興味を持っていると仮定して、xが2に近づいていくときの変化の様子を見てみましょう。極限表記では次のようになります。
代数学的な考え方では、我々は単純に、 の項を削除でき、関数 が残ると言うでしょう。しかしながら、ここには多少の誤差が生じます。今我々が考えている関数ははじめに考えていたものと完全に同じものではないのです。なぜなら、この関数はx=2に定まっているけれど、我々がもともと考えていた関数は、具体的にはx=2には定まらないからです。代数学では、我々はこの種の関数に対するより良い解決の方法がないため、このことは無視してもかまいません。ただ、今の計算法は、我々がこの種の関数をよりよく、より正しく見るための方法です。我々が必要とすることは、たとえ において関数が存在しなかったとしても、それがほぼ存在しているかのようにみせかけて、それが4であるということを求められることなのです。それはそこには無いものかもしれない、けれどもそれは本当に本当に近くに存在している。我々が抱く唯一の疑問は、「近くにあるってどういうことだろう?」というものなのですね。
厳密ではない極限の定義 編集
極限の法則 編集
Now that we have defined, informally, what a limit is, we will list some rules that are useful for manipulating a limit. These will all be proven, or left as exercises, once we formally define the fundamental concept of the limit of a function.
関数 、 また関数 であると仮定します。 またk は定数であるとします。このとき、
これらの決まりはidentitiesとして知られており、; they are scalar multiplication, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of limits. (A scalar is a constant, and we say that when you multiply a function by a constant, you are performing scalar multiplication.)
Using these rules we can deduce some others. First, the constant rule states that if f(x) = b is constant for all x then the limit as x approaches c must be equal to b. In other words
- .
Second, the identity rule states that if f(x) = x then the limit of f as x approaches c is equal to c. That is,
- .
Third, using the rule for products many times we get that
- for a positive integer n.
This is called the power rule.
例題 編集
例題 1 関数 の極限を求めよ。
We need to simplify the problem, since we have no rules about this expression by itself. We know from the identity rule above that . By the power rule, . Lastly, by the scalar multiplication rule, we get
例題 2
関数 の極限を求めよ。
To do this informally, we split up the expression, once again, into its components. As above, .
であり、 です。 これらを足し合わせて、
例題 3
From the previous example the limit of the numerator is The limit of the denominator is
As the limit of the denominator is not equal to zero we can divide which gives
- .
例題 4
We apply the same process here as we did in the previous set of examples;
We can evaluate each of these;
例題 5
Evaluate the limit .
To evaluate this seemingly complex limit, be aware of your sine and cosine identities. We will also have to use two new facts. First, if f(x) is a trigonometric function (that is, one of sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant or cosecant) and is defined at a, then . Second, .
To evaluate the limit, recognize that can be multiplied by to obtain which, by our trig identities, is . So, multiply the top and bottom by (This is allowed because it is identical to multiplying by one). This is a standard trick for evaluating limits of fractions; multiply the numerator and the denominator by a carefully chosen expression which will make the expression simplify somehow. In this case, we should end up with:
Your next step shall be to break this up into by the limit rule of multiplication. By the fact mentioned above, .
Next, .
Thus, by multiplying these two results, we obtain 0.
We will now present an amazingly useful result, even though we cannot prove this yet. We can find the limit of any polynomial or rational function, as above, as long as that rational function is defined at c (so we are not dividing by zero). More precisely, c must be in the domain of the function.
If f is a polynomial or rational function that is defined at c then
We already learned this for trigonometric functions, so we see that it is easy to find limits of polynomial, rational or trigonometric functions wherever they are defined. In fact, this is true even for combinations of these functions; thus, for example, .
The Squeeze Theorem 編集
The squeeze theorem is very important in calculus proofs, where it typically are used to confirm the limit of a function via comparison with with two other functions whose limits are known.
It is called the Squeeze Theorem because it refers to a function f whose values are squeezed between the values of two other function g and h. g and h both have the same limit L at a point a. As f are trapped between the values of the two functions that approach L, the values of f must also approach L.
A more mathematical definition is:
Suppose that hold for all x in some open interval containing a, except possibly at itself. Suppose also that . Then also. Similar statements hold for left and right limit.
極限を見つける 編集
Now, we will discuss how, in practice, to find limits. First, if the function can be built out of rational, trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions, then if a number c is in the domain of the function, then the limit is simply the value of the function at c.
If c is not in the domain of the function, then in many cases (as with rational functions) the domain of the function includes all the points near c, but not c. An example would be if we wanted to find , where the domain includes all numbers besides 0. In that case, we want to find a similar function, except with the hole filled in. The limit of this function at c will be the same, as can be seen from the definition of a limit. The function is the same as the previous except at a point c. The limit definition depends on f(x) only at the points where x is close to c but not equal to it. When , this condition doesn't hold, and so the limit at c does not depend on the value of the function at c. Therefore, the limit of the new function is the same as of the previous function. And since the domain of our new function includes c, we can now (assuming it's still built out of rational, trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions) just evaluate the function at c as before.
In our example, this is easy; canceling the xs gives 1, which equals x/x at all points except 0. Thus, we have . In general, when computing limits of rational functions, it's a good idea to look for common factors in the numerator and denominator.
Lastly, note that the limit might not exist at all. There are a number of ways in which this can occur:
"Gap": There is a gap (more than a point wide) in the function where the function is not defined. As an example, in
f(x) does not have any limit when -4 ≤ x ≤ 4. There is no way to "approach" the middle of the graph. Note also that the function also has no limit at the endpoints of the two curves generated (at x = -4 and x = 4). For the limit to exist, the point must be approachable from both the left and the right. Note also that there is no limit at a totally isolated point on the graph.
"Jump": If the graph suddenly jumps to a different level, there is no limit. This is illustrated in the floor function (in which the output value is the greatest integer not greater than the input value).
Asymptote: In
the graph gets arbitrarily high as it approaches 0, so there is no finite limit. In this case we say the limit is infinite.
Infinite oscillation: These next two can be tricky to visualize. In this one, we mean that a graph continually rises above and below a horizontal line. In fact, it does this infinitely often as you approach a certain x-value. This often means that there is no limit, as the graph never approaches a particular value. However, if the height (and depth) of each oscillation diminishes as the graph approaches the x-value, so that the oscillations get arbitrarily smaller, then there might actually be a limit.
The use of oscillation naturally calls to mind the trigonometric functions. An example of a trigonometric function that does not have a limit as x approaches 0 is
As x gets closer to 0 the function keeps oscillating between -1 and 1. It is also true that sin(1/x) oscillates an infinite number of times on the interval between 0 and any positive value of x. The sine function, sin(x), is equal to zero whenever x=kπ, where k is a positive integer. Between each value of k, sin(x) oscillates between 0 and -1 or 0 and 1. Hence, sin(1/x)=0 for every x=1/(kπ). In between consecutive pairs of these values, 1/(kπ} and 1/[(k+1)π], sin(1/x) oscillates from 0, to -1, to 1 and back to 0 and so on. We may also observe that there are an infinite number of such pairs, and they are all between 0 and 1/π. There are a finite number of such pairs between any positive value of x and 1/π which implies that there must be infinitely many between x and 0. From our reasoning we may conclude that as x approaches 0 from the right, the function sin(1/x) does not approach any value. We say that the limit as x approaches 0 from the right does not exist. (In contrast, in the case of a "jump", the limits from each side did exist. Since they weren't equal, though, the regular limit didn't exist.)
Incomplete graph: Let us consider two examples.
First, let f be the constant function f(q)=2 where we specify that q is only allowed to be a rational number. Let be some rational number. Then , since, for q close to , f(q) is close to (in fact equals) 2.
Now let g be the similar-looking function defined on the entire real line, but we change the value of the function based on whether x is rational or not.
Now g has a limit nowhere! For let x be a real number; we show that g can't have a limit at x. No matter how close we get to x, there will be rational numbers (where g will be 2) and irrational numbers (where g will be 0). Thus g has no limit at any real number!
漸近線を表すための極限表記の利用 編集
Now consider the function
What is the limit as x approaches zero? The value of g(0) does not exist; the value of g(0) is not defined.
Notice that we can make the function g(x) as large as we like, by choosing a small x, as long as x ≠ 0. For example, to make g(x) equal to one trillion, we choose x to be 10-6. In this case, we say we can make g(x) arbitrarily large (as large as we like) by taking x to be sufficiently close to zero, but not equal to zero. And we express it algebraically as follows
Note that the limit does not exist at x = 0.
Example: Finding Vertical and Horizontal Asymptotes
Use limits to find all vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the function
The graph of has a vertical asymptote if f(x) goes to infinity. Therefore, we can determine any vertical asymptotes by setting the denominator equal to 0.
Notice that . Therefore, f(x) has a vertical asymptote at x = -2.
The graph of has a horizontal asymptote if f(x) converges on a value at infinity. We can find any horizontal asymptotes by finding
Therefore f(x) has a horizontal asymptote at y = 0.
学習教材 編集
To see the power of the limit, let's consider a moving car. Suppose we have a car whose position is linear with respect to time (that is, a graph plotting the position with respect to time will show a straight line). We want to find the velocity. This is easy to do from algebra, we just take the slope, and that's our velocity.
But unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately if you are a calculus teacher), things in the real world don't always travel in nice straight lines. Cars speed up, slow down, and generally behave in ways that make it difficult to calculate their velocities.
Now what we really want to do is to find the velocity at a given moment (the instantaneous velocity). The trouble is that in order to find the velocity we need two points, while at any given time, we only have one point. We can, of course, always find the average speed of the car, given two points in time, but we want to find the speed of the car at one precise moment.
Here is where the basic trick of differential calculus comes in. We take the average speed at two moments in time, and then make those two moments in time closer and closer together. We then see what the limit of the slope is as these two moments in time are closer and closer, and as those two moments get closer and closer, the slope comes out to be closer and closer to the slope at a single instant.

Hurdle believes Kang can work through slump
Pirates third baseman struggling to make adjustments
LOS ANGELES -- When speaking to Jung Ho Kang about his slump at the plate and his struggles in the field, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle didn't have to look far for proof that everyone has down years.
Hurdle mentioned Andrew McCutchen and former Pittsburgh left-hander Francisco Liriano, two established veterans inexplicably struggling this season. Kang has followed a similar path, enduring a miserable slump after an outstanding rookie year in the Majors.
"He's been a pro," Hurdle said. "It happens up here. It's usually going to happen, sooner or later."
Kang has been out of the Pirates' lineup each of the last two days, and he may cede more starts at third base to David Freese if his struggles persist. Kang entered Friday hitting .230/.307/.447, and he's run up his error total to eight, five of them in August.
"He is working hard to try to find some consistency with everything we're doing," Hurdle said. "There's always a side of the argument that to become more consistent, you need to play more. At this point of the season, production does play more when you've got more length to your schedule to look at.
"We'll look for opportunities to get him involved. Hopefully some traction can take place and he can put together some at-bats that show he's in a better place to go ahead and feed him more at-bats."
Kang was a pleasant surprise for the Pirates and one of their best hitters last season, his first after making the transition from the Korean Baseball Organization. Kang batted .287/.355/.461 with 15 homers and 58 RBIs, finishing third in the National League Rookie of the Year Award voting. He was an above-average third baseman defensively, and he held his own at shortstop.
But Kang had major left knee surgery in September, and his return to the Majors didn't come until May. He burst out of the gates, homering twice in his 2016 debut. The Pirates said all along that Kang wouldn't be fully back to normal until 2017, but they couldn't have predicted this kind of slump.
Some of Kang's problems, Hurdle said, are common for all second-year players. Opponents have more data to draw from and more video to watch. They have learned how to pitch to him, and they're effectively putting that plan into action.
Kang has seen fewer fastballs this year, down from 55.7 percent to 47 percent, and more changeups and curveballs. Hurdle has occasionally noted that Kang has been late on fastballs and too early on offspeed pitches, caught in an awkward middle ground at the plate.
"The way they've pitched him is completely different than what we were seeing last year," Hurdle said. "They've been good with it. They've executed. That's the biggest thing."
