This text is important not only in understanding his methods of composition, but also in comprehending the multiplicity and variety of his aesthetic ideas. In spite of the large variety of sources that inspire it, in Technique, Messiaen presents a compositional thought that, at least in part, proves to be substantially cohesive The purpose of this paper is to describe the content of the Technique, with particular attention to aspects concerning rhythm and harmony, which are the elements that received Messiaen＇s deepest attention and which also had the greatest influence on later 20th-century composers展开更多

Over a long period of growing in this region, autochthonous cultivars adapted, and have been achieving satisfactory results, despite poor growing conditions. A study conducted over a period of three years in a North Montenegro region included in situ identification of autochthonous plum cultivars. Observation and recording of their phenological and pomological traits were performed using International Board for Plant Genetic Resources （IBPGR） and International union for the Protection of New Varieties of plants （UPOV） methodologies. Eighteen cultivars derived from Prunusdomestica L. and two cultivars derived from P. insititia L. were identified. Flowering started between March 26th and April 12th and fruit ripening between 13th of July （Petrovaca） and 18th September （Trnovaca）. Fruit weight ranged from 6.65 g ± 0.235 g to 53.88 g ± 0.654 g respectively and stone weight from 0.16 g ±0.003 g to 2.20 g ± 0.711 g. The cultivars were classified as being extremely small in terms of fruit size, except for cvs Crvenadurgulja （big fruit size）. Rounded fruit shape and light green ground color were dominant. Skin color ranged from amber to black. Yellow green was a dominant flesh color and medium flesh firmness predominated. The fruits of the above cultivars could be processed, particularly into plum brandy, or they could be used fresh or dried. The selected plum cultivars can be used in breeding programmes, as rootstocks as well as in further disease related systematic studies under field and laboratory conditions.展开更多

However, the action of yeasts against species with pathogen potential for plants or humans is less understood. Our research was conducted on three Metschnikowia pulcherrima yeast strains isolated from white grapes （SG1, SG2） and cherries （CPMI） from Romania. The screening tests performed on yeast peptone glucose （YPG） medium on isolates from human infections revealed reduced antimicrobial activity with narrow inhibition zones against strain M6 （Candidaparapsilosis）. In the presence of C3 （Candida albicans）, SGI was the most active forming wider halos, followed closely by SG2, while for CPM1, no activity was described. Improvement of antagonistic action was observed especially for mixtures of SG1 with 0.5% and 1% sodium bicarbonate （NaHCO3）, respectively, 1% and 2% calcium chloride （CaCI2）. Utilization of yeast malt extract agar （YMA） medium favoring mycelium formation in cultures representing potential sensitive substrates seemed to facilitate the antimicrobial action of SG1. When compared to reference M. pulcherrima MUCL 29874, the Metschnikowia strains isolated from fruits were better antagonists probably due to variation of gene regulation or existence of adaptative responses.展开更多
