GYPSY SPIRIT SUITE: AN ORIGINAL JAZZ MANOUCHE COMPOSITION FOR LARGE ENSEMBLE
… <em>Gypsy Spirit Suite</em>, arranged for a large ensemble comprising winds, horns, strings, guitar, cimbalom, vibraphone, and percussion. The composition integrates jazz manouche (gypsy jazz) elements, such as chromatic passing chords, virtuosic melodic runs, and la pompe rhythm, into a …

Metamorphosis: An Original Jazz Guitar Concerto Exploring Improvisation and Polystylistic Strategies in the Modern Concerto
<p>The electric guitar is underutilized in large ensemble art music. Some composers have sought to alleviate this deficiency by expanding the literature through the electric guitar concerto. Few electric guitar concerti are written for improvised jazz guitar, therefore presenting a need for this …

The influence of heat transport on Arctic amplification
… run or have compared results from a multi-model ensemble. While the multi-model ensemble approach may potentially average out biases in individual models, the ensemble spread confounds the model differences and the internal climate variability. In this thesis, we investigate the Arctic …

On intraseasonal variability in the tropics: tropical cyclones, the Madden-Julian Oscillation, and equatorial waves
… to understand how they interact with the large-scale atmosphere. The first part of this thesis develops Forecasts of Hurricanes using Large Ensemble Output (FHLO), a large-ensemble, probabilistic tropical cyclone forecast model. FHLO incorporates the state-dependent forecast uncertainty by …

Real-time Fourier synthesis of ensembles with timbral interpolation
… is used to produce intermediate timbres. An ensemble can be synthesized by summing all the sinusoids for several sounds, but in practice it is difficult to perform such computations in real time. To solve this problem on inexpensive hardware, it is useful to take advantage of the masking …

Concerto for Tenor Saxophone and Wind Ensemble
I wrote CONCERTO FOR TENOR SAXOPHONE AND WIND ENSEMBLE in the tradition of the grand concerti of the nineteenth century, but incorporating a modern sense of harmony and rhythm. The spirit of the piece is very in the Romantic tradition with a soloist set against a large ensemble. However, the …

Multi-sensor large scale land surface data assimilation using ensemble approaches
One of the ensemble Kalman filter's (EnKF) attractive features in land surface applications is its ability to provide distributional information. The EnKF relies on normality approximations that improve its efficiency but can also compromise the accuracy of its distributional estimates. The effects …

The Theatrical Saxophone: Visual and Narrative Elements in Contemporary Saxophone Music
… representative examples of solo, chamber, and large ensemble music for the saxophone; 4) Describe collaboration across areas of the arts for site-specific, large-scale works including saxophone; and 5) Provide an annotated bibliography of works for saxophone that include elements of theatre.The …

An examination of the large-scale drivers of North Atlantic vertical wind shear and seasonal tropical cyclone variability
This dissertation characterizes and examines the large-scale sources of variability driving tropical North Atlantic deep-layer vertical wind shear (VWS). VWS is a key variable for the seasonal prediction of tropical cyclone (TC) activity and can be used to assess sources of predictability within a …

Investigating the atmospheric and oceanic drivers of Atlantic Multidecadal Variability and predictability
… Index in both the Community Earth System Model 1 Large Ensemble (CESM1) and observation-based datasets using atmospheric and oceanic predictors. I apply explainable artificial intelligence techniques to highlight a significant source of multidecadal predictability over the Transition Zone in …

Investigating the Relationships Between Disorder, Structure, and Dynamics in Amorphous Systems
… in the system, we study the spectra of a large ensemble of sparse random matrices where disorder is controlled by the distribution of bond weights and network coordination. When there is a finite probability density of infinitesimal bond weights, we find a region in the vibrational density …

Authentic membership: The experiences of two students with hearing loss in instrumental music
… were identified through email solicitation of a large instrumental music teacher organization and snowball sampling with audiologists in the medical community. Data was gleaned in the two cases through analysis of documents, interviews with the two principal informants, their parents and music …

Understanding the variability and predictability of seasonal climates over West and Southern Africa using climate models
… This thesis uses discrepancy in a large ensemble of climate simulations as a tool to investigate variability in dominant seasonal rainfall and temperature patterns (i.e. classes) over West and Southern Africa, to examine the capability of climate models in reproducing the …

A web-based approach for post-processing large ensembles
… Fluid Dynamics (CFD) allow for quick creation of large ensembles of CFD results, making data analysis the bottleneck of the design process. Accelerating analysis of large CFD simulation ensembles is key to accelerating future design campaigns. The goal of CFD ensemble analysis is to support …
