Sheet music

Summary

Sheet music is a handwritten or printed form of musical notation that uses musical symbols to indicate the pitches, rhythms, or chords of a song or instrumental musical piece. Like its analogs – printed books or pamphlets in English, Arabic, or other languages – the medium of sheet music typically is paper (or, in earlier centuries, papyrus or parchment). However, access to musical notation since the 1980s has included the presentation of musical notation on computer screens and the development of scorewriter computer programs that can notate a song or piece electronically, and, in some cases, "play back" the notated music using a synthesizer or virtual instruments. The use of the term "sheet" is intended to differentiate written or printed forms of music from sound recordings (on vinyl record, cassette, CD), radio or TV broadcasts or recorded live performances, which may capture film or video footage of the performance as well as the audio component. In everyday use, "sheet music

Ultra-thin dielectric layers on metal substrates studied by scanning tunneling microscopy and scanning tunneling spectroscopy

In this thesis, ultra-thin dielectric layers on metal substrates are studied mainly by scanning tunneling microscopy and scanning tunneling spectroscopy. In chapter 2, field emission resonances, i.e. bound states in the potential well between sample and tip with an applied voltage, are used to determine the local work function on a sample with patches of different structural composition. To do so, a simple theoretical model is developed and used to simulate the peak positions of the measured dI/dV spectra. In the present case the sample is a Ag(100) surface covered by up to three monolayers of NaCl. The presented method is also applicable to other systems suitable for STM measurements. Additionally, the surface potential is locally probed in the dipole layer region between domains of different work function. In chapter 3, new molecular structures on silver surfaces are presented, that are formed by a mixture of gases. This mixture contains the small molecules H2, H2O, CO, CO2, and N2. No final conclusion can be drawn on the chemical nature of these structures due to the impossibility of the scanning tunneling microscope to determine chemical species. But already the presence of these structures indicates that there is a multitude of unknown interactions, that are possible between a transition metal surface and even smallest molecules. In chapter 4, the moiré pattern is described that a BC3 film creates on a NbB2(0001) surface. As the growth of the BC3 sheet is incommensurate, a moiré pattern is formed that modulates the apparent height of the atoms on the STM images, i.e. the local density of states. The BC3 layer exhibits a completely different behavior than the closely related graphite layer, because it is transparent for the tunnel current. In the present case, the BC3 layer is visible on the STM images only by its moiré effect.

System for moving a patient

Charles Baur, Marine Chantal Elisabeth Geneviève Clogenson, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Loïc Benoît Tissot-Daguette

The invention relates to a system (13) for moving a lying patient (P) from a first position to a second position according to a controlled motion comprising a back sheet, a front sheet, each comprising two lateral edges (L1, L2). The system (13) comprises sheet fixing means (1) placed on said lateral edges for fixing a portion of the front sheet edge with an opposite corresponding portion of the back sheet edge. The two lateral edges (L1, L2) of the front sheet are fixed by the fixing means (1) with the corresponding opposite lateral edges of the back sheet. When the fastening means (11) are fastened with the fixing means which fix one of the lateral edges of the back sheet with the corresponding opposite lateral edge of the front sheet, the actuation of the lever (14) allows to move the patient (P) according to the controlled motion.
