Breaking the Frame: Arabesque and Metric Complexity in the Sunrise Scene from Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé (1912) by Gurminder Kaur Bhogal

“…This paper examines how in the Sunrise Scene from Ravel’s ballet, Daphnis et Chloé (1912), he conceived of this ornament as an ostinato motif whose short rhythmic values trace the “S-curve” of contemporaneous visual arabesque through a periodic descending and ascending melodic contour. This undulating figure’s initial characterization as an inconsequential decoration betrays its growing significance as a metric, formal, and narrative catalyst. …”

Noetherian and Artinian ordered groupoids—semigroups by Niovi Kehayopulu, Michael Tsingelis

“…From this idea, we are led in a natural way to consider a number of results relevant to ordered groupoids with descending chain condition for ideals. We moreover prove that an ordered groupoid is Noetherian if and only if it satisfies the maximum condition for ideals and it is Artinian if and only if it satisfies the minimum condition for ideals. …”

In-stent chronic coronary occlusion. Efficiency of revascularization and recanalization technique by S.M. Furkalo

“…Most often (38.2 %), stent occlusion was recorded in the left anterior descending artery. Results. Our results indicate that in the presence of conical (typed) proximal and distal occlusion cups, the recanalization efficiency was the greatest (86.6 %), providing intraluminal guidewire advancement both with antegrade access and in the case of a retrograde approach for recanalization of chronic occlusions in the stent. …”
