Article Abstract

Stage acoustics is an important characteristic for concert halls, both for the acoustic quality on stage and for the audience. However, relatively little research has been conducted into the question. This study was based on the investigation of an actual concert hall stage, that of the Seoul Arts Center Concert Hall in Korea. The stage acoustics was evaluated in the actual hall, and with two models: a 1:25 scale model and a computer model. The study was based on the stage support parameter ST1 proposed by Gade as a measure of support for individual performers [Acustica 65, 193-203 (1989)]. The variation of support was measured on the empty stage of the actual hall and in the two models. The effect of musicians on stage, the effect of moving the orchestra, the effect of ceiling height and of stage-wall profile were also investigated. Conclusions are drawn both relating to the Seoul Concert Hall stage and stages in general.

This study explores the public health potential of music and cultural institutions through an examination of Carnegie Hall's Well-Being Concert series. The series, initiated by the Weill Music Institute, the Hall's education and social impact arm, aims to create immersive concert experiences that amplify the social, physical, emotional, and educational benefits of music engagement. Grounded in the rich historical and cross-cultural relationship between music and well-being, the series embraces holistic approaches to concert design, curating musical, environmental, and experiential elements for both artists and their audiences.

The identification of pathogenic variants in the Breast Cancer Genes 1 and 2 () is a critical predictive biomarker for poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) therapy in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The aim of this study is to define real-world rates and determinants of germline and somatic testing and subsequent PARPi utilisation in Australia using a national clinical quality registry. This multi-centre cohort study analysed data from 1503 women with non-mucinous EOC diagnosed between May 2017 and July 2022, captured by the Australian National Gynae-Oncology Registry (NGOR).

Introduction: Women aged ≥70 years with ovarian cancer (OC) may experience variations in care compared to best practice guidelines, and their five-year survival is significantly lower compared to women aged <70 years. The National Gynae-Oncology Registry (NGOR) is Australia's first clinical quality registry (CQR) for gynaecological cancers, measuring patterns of care using 15 OC clinical quality indicators (CQIs) reflecting evidence-based practice. This study aimed to compare adherence to CQIs for older versus younger groups with newly diagnosed OC and evaluate differences in 5-year overall survival (OS).

Ubiquitination is the key eukaryotic post-translational modification that governs protein degradation, localisation, and activity which is mediated by a concerted enzyme cascade. The largest superfamily of these enzymes include the Cullin-RING-Ligase (CRL) complexes. Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of the most severe form of malaria in humans, encodes the critical proteins required for ubiquitination, but we do not yet understand the function of this pathway.

Live music can afford novel, transformative aesthetic interactions for individual audience members. Nevertheless, concert research tends to focus on shared experience. In this paper we offer an account of exploratory listening that foregrounds embodied-enactive engagement and affective resonance through close analysis of the music, physiological measurements, and reflections from interviews.
