He was a poet, musician and innovator of the earliest French theater. He became famous for his use of polyphony and his theatrical productions. Adam originally trained for the clergy (the people of the church). Marriage interfered with his musical career; but with the help of some noble benefactors he was able to pursue musical studies at the University of Paris. The remainder of his life was spent in service of noble patrons. His Music Adam de la Halle was of French origins. All of his lyrics were written in French. Much of his early music was monophonic which shortly after became homophonic and then transformed into polyphonic. Much of his polyphonic work was set for 3 voices or instruments. If a piece of music is monophonic, then it has only a melody line and no harmony. Much of the medieval music was monophonic. If the music is homophonic then there is only one melody line, but it may be played by two or more instruments. Many of the songs that were originally monophonic were easily transformed into homophonic by add extra voices or instruments. Polyphonic is the type of music we hear today. Polyphonic is when there is a melody line accompanied by harmony. A considerable amount of Adam de la Halle's polyphonic work was designed for plays. One of Adam's manuscripts contains the oldest known existence of the sharp sign. In 1872 his music was officially published. Ars Antiqua Time Period Ars Antiqua is Medieval Latin for "ancient art". Ars Antiqua was the period of musical activity in 13th century France. The music was characterized by the increasing sophistication of counterpoint (the art of combining simultaneous voice parts). Modern music historians classify the whole 13th century as Ars Antiqua where as older historians classified only the later half of the 13th century as Ars Antiqua. This was the time period when music started to become more formal. In this time period, musical plays were just becoming popular and in 1283 one of the first operas was performed. Most of the music of the Ars Antiqua time period is anonymous. Two important figures stand out among the anonymity. Pérotin, who became famous in the late 12th century, composed the earliest known music for four voices. Franco of Cologne, who flourished in the middle of the 13th century, was a theorist who organized a new, more precise system of rhythmic notation, the direct ancestor of modern notation. The most important style of music to originate in the Ars Antiqua is the motet, which retained its popularity for centuries. The essence of this style of music is the simultaneous presentation of more than one text. It originated with the addition of a new text to the upper voices of a sacred polyphonic composition. The lower, slower moving voices retained the original text. Ars Antiqua was the time period when music as we know it was just beginning. Composers were considered innovators because they invented a great deal of what is used in modern music (for example harmony and modern notation). The music we listen to today is comprised of everything these composers created. Without this great musical minds, music today would be significantly different.

ThermoFAD, a Thermofluor Ò -adapted flavin ad hoc detection system for protein folding and ligand binding Federico Forneris, Roberto Orru, Daniele Bonivento, Laurent R. Chiarelli and Andrea Mattevi Department of Genetics and Microbiology, University of Pavia, Italy Identification of optimal purification and storage con- ditions is one the most critical investigations in the biochemical analysis of a protein. Challenging projects such as characterisation of macromolecular complexes, membrane proteins or large multidomain human pro- teins often do not provide the large amounts of sample required by protein biochemistry techniques, restricting the investigation to a very limited, sometimes not reproducible, set of information. In this respect, the Thermofluor Ò technique [1] (Fig. 1A) is an example of how it is possible to minimise the amounts of protein and time used for analysis of various parameters such as ligand stabilisation, pH effects, and storage condi- tions [2–4]. Thermofluor Ò determines the unfolding temperature of a protein through evaluation of the fluorescence of a solvatochromic dye such as 1-anilino- 8-naphthalenesulfonate [5] or SYPRO Orange [6], which have a low fluorescence quantum yield in water and a high quantum yield when bound to the hydro- phobic surface of denatured proteins (Fig. 1A). Over recent years, several reports have described successful use of the Thermofluor Ò technique for identification of the stabilising conditions of biochemically uncharacter- ised proteins [5–8], library screening of potential ligands for selected drug targets [9–11], or simple investigations of the behaviour of proteins under vari- ous conditions [12,13]. Although dedicated instruments are commercially available for Thermofluor Ò analysis [1], the experiment can be performed without any tech- nical adaptation, using even the cheapest available Keywords flavin; fluorescence screening; ligand screening; protein stability; Thermofluor Ò Correspondence F.

The fluorescence of flavin cofactors in these proteins is a property that is widely employed for biochemical characterisation. Here, we present a modified Thermofluor Ò approach called ThermoFAD (Thermofluor Ò -adapted flavin ad hoc detec- tion system), which simplifies identification of optimal purification and storage conditions as well as high-affinity ligands. In this technique, the fla- vin cofactor is used as an intrinsic probe to monitor protein folding and stability, taking advantage of the different fluorescent properties of flavin- containing proteins between the folded and denatured state. The main advantage of the method is that it allows a large amount of biochemical data to be obtained using very small amounts of protein sample and stan- dard laboratory equipment. We have explored several cases that demon- strate the reliability and versatility of this technique when applied to globular flavoenzymes, membrane-anchored flavoproteins, and macro- molecular complexes. The information gathered from ThermoFAD analysis can be very valuable for any biochemical and biophysical analysis, includ- ing crystallisation. The method is likely to be applicable to other classes of proteins that Hindawi Publishing Corporation EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking Volume 2010, Article ID 818964, 16 pages doi:10.1155/2010/818964 Research Article Joint Sensing Period and Transmission Time Optimization for Energy-Constrained Cognitive Radios Yo u Xu , 1 Yin Sun, 2 Yunzhou Li, 2 Yifei Zhao, 2 andHongxingZou 1 1 Department of Automation, Institute of Information Processing, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China 2 The Wireless and Mobile Communication Technology R&D Center, Research Institute of Information Technology (RIIT), Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China Correspondence should be addressed to You Xu, xuyou02@gmail.com Received 5 March 2010; Accepted 28 July 2010 Academic Editor: Athanasios Vasilakos Copyright © 2010 You Xu et al.

Under interference constraint and energy consumption constraint, to maximize the channel utilization, an opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) strategy for a slotted secondary user (SU) overlaying an unslotted ON/OFF continuous time Markov chain (CTMC) modeled primary network is proposed. The OSA strategy is investigated via a cross-layer optimization approach, with joint consideration of sensing period (related to PHY layer) and transmission time (related to MAC layer), which will affect both interference and energy consumption. Two access policies are investigated in this paper; that is, SU transmits only in “OFF slots” (i.e., the slots that the sensing results are OFF) and transmits in both “OFF slots” and “ON slots”. The allocation of sensing period and transmission time for two access policies is investigated and analyzed by means of geometric methods. The closed form solutions are derived, which show that SU should transmit in “OFF slots” as much as possible, and that the proposed OSA strategy has low computational cost. Numerical results also show that with the proposed policies, SU can efficiently access the channel and meanwhile consume less energy and time to sense. 1. Introduction With the wide deployment of wireless communication systems, the precious radio spectrum is becoming more and more crowded. On the other hand, the report published by Federal Communication Commission (FCC) shows that the current spectrum management policy has resulted in an underutilized spectrum [1]. Thus, cognitive radio (CR) [2] and opportunistic spec- trum access (OSA) [3], as the means to deal with the spectrum underutilization problem, are proposed. The basic idea of OSA is to allow secondary users (SUs) to search for, identify, and exploit instantaneous spectrum opportunities while limiting the interference perceived by primary users (PUs). The interference depends on SU’s access policy (namely, when and how to access the spectrum and the corresponding transmission time), power, rate, and so on. And to solve the interference problem, there are many works of the literature using all kinds of methods. In [4–6], the authors propose power control strategies for different system scenarios. In [7–9], the optimal access policies have been studied. And in [10, 11], the authors consider the effect of both power and rate. On the other hand, in most practical situation, the SU is a battery-powered device. Thus, the energy consumption, as one of the most important problems that, affecting cognitive radio networks, should also be considered. Unfortunately, none of the former works take into
