Description
Despite the wealth of folk music traditions in Portugal and the importance of the clarinet in the music of bandas filarmonicas, it is uncommon to find works featuring the clarinet using Portuguese folk music elements. In the interest of expanding this type of repertoire, three new works were commissioned from three different composers. The resulting works are Seres Imaginarios 3 by Luis Cardoso; Delirio Barroco by Tiago Derrica; and Memória by Pedro Faria Gomes. In an effort to submit these new works for inclusion into mainstream performance literature, the author has recorded these works on compact disc. This document includes interview transcripts with each composer, providing first-person discussion of each composition, as well as detailed biographical information on each composer. To provide context, the author has included a brief discussion on Portuguese folk music, and in particular, the role that the clarinet plays in Portuguese folk music culture.

Description
LTE-Advanced networks employ random access based on preambles
transmitted according to multi-channel slotted Aloha principles. The
random access is controlled through a limit W on the number of
transmission attempts and a timeout period for uniform backoff after a
collision. We model the LTE-Advanced random access system by formulating
the equilibrium condition for the ratio of the number of requests
successful within the permitted number of transmission attempts to those
successful in one attempt. We prove that for W≤8 there is only one
equilibrium operating point and for W≥9 there are three operating
points if the request load ρ is between load boundaries ρ1
and ρ2. We analytically identify these load boundaries as well as
the corresponding system operating points. We analyze the throughput and
delay of successful requests at the operating points and validate the
analytical results through simulations. Further, we generalize the
results using a steady-state equilibrium based approach and develop
models for single-channel and multi-channel systems, incorporating the
barring probability PB. Ultimately, we identify the de-correlating
effect of parameters O, PB, and Tomax and introduce the
Poissonization effect due to the backlogged requests in a slot. We
investigate the impact of Poissonization on different traffic and
conclude this thesis.

Description
This project includes a recording and performance guide for three newly commissioned pieces for the clarinet. The first piece, shimmer, was written by Grant Jahn and is for B-flat clarinet and electronics. The second piece, Paragon, is for B-flat clarinet and piano and was composed by Dr. Theresa Martin. The third and final piece, Duality in the Eye of a Bovine, was written by Kurt Mehlenbacher and is for B-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, and piano. In addition to the performance guide, this document also includes background information and program notes for the compositions, as well as composer biographical information, a list of other works featuring the clarinet by each composer, and transcripts of composer and performer interviews. This document is accompanied by a recording of the three pieces.

Description
The primary objective of this research project is to expand the clarinet repertoire with the addition of four new pieces. Each of these new pieces use contemporary clarinet techniques, including electronics, prerecorded sounds, multiphonics, circular breathing, multiple articulation, demi-clarinet, and the clari-flute. The repertoire composed includes Grant Jahn’s Duo for Two Clarinets, Reggie Berg’s Funkalicious for Clarinet and Piano, Rusty Banks’ Star Juice for Clarinet and Fixed Media, and Chris Malloy’s A Celestial Breath for Clarinet and Electronics. In addition to the musical commissions, this project also includes interviews with the composers indicating how they wrote these works and what their influences were, along with any information pertinent to the performer, professional recordings of each piece, as well as performance notes and suggestions.
