Mendelssohn and The Schübler Chorales (BWV 645-650):A New Source found in the Riemenschneider Bach Institute Collection

This article discusses a hitherto-unknown printed edition of Bach's Schübler Chorales edited by Mendelssohn, and considers its meaning and significance for Bach-Mendelssohn scholarship. Facsimile of the edition is also included.

Annual message of his excellency Franklin J. Moses, Jr., Governor of South Carolina, to the General Assembly at the regular session of 1872-73

Governor Moses calls on South Carolinians to endeavor to become a respected member of the United States following the U.S. Civil War. His message addresses the status of the national debt, South Carolina public education, the South Carolina Orphan Asylum, the South Carolina Lunatic Asylum, the state penitentiary, the state’s quarantine of small pox, the revenue-generating phosphate deposits in the state, immigration to the state, the state’s flagship university, current state legislation, and the state militia.

Letter - Donald Ziraldo to Moses Znaimer, with reply from Znaimer

A letter from Donald Ziraldo to Moses Znaimer regarding a holiday bottle of Icewine sent for the holidays. The bottle is mentioned in the letter because it is said to have been made during the last year's Annual Celebrity Icewine event. The names mentioned from the event are Steven Page of the music group Barenaked Ladies and Jim Cuddy of the group Blue Rodeo. The letter also includes a handwritten response from Znaimer thanking Ziraldo for the wine and mentions the Idea City Conference where Ziraldo will be speaking.

Uma estratégia aleatória chamada de MOSES

This paper we study a random strategy called MOSES, which was introduced in 1996 by Fran¸cois. Asymptotic results of this strategy; behavior of the stationary distributions of the chain associated to strategy, were derived by Fran¸cois, in 1998, of the theory of Freidlin and Wentzell [8]. Detailings of these results are in this work. Moreover, we noted that an alternative approach the convergence of this strategy is possible without making use of theory of Freidlin and Wentzell, yielding the visit almost certain of the strategy to uniform populations which contain the minimum. Some simulations in Matlab are presented in this work

Measurement Properties of the Short Multi-Dimensional Observation Scale for Elderly Subjects (MOSES)

This study evaluated the five-factor measurement model of the abbreviated Multidimensional Observation Scale for Elderly Subjects (MOSES), originally proposed by Pruchno, Kleban, and Resch in 1988. Modifications of the five-factor model were examined and evaluated with regard to their practical significance. A confirmatory second-order factor analysis was performed to examine whether the correlations among the first-order factors were adequately accounted for by a global dysfunction factor. Findings indicated that the proposed measurement model was replicated adequately. Although post hoc modifications resulted in significant improvements in overall model fit, the minor parameters had only a trivial influence on the major parameters of the baseline model. Results from the second-order factor analysis showed that a global dysfunc tion factor accounted adequately for the intercorrelations among the first-order factors.
