Recording of Steven Naylor's Bitter Orchids. This work was created with the support of the Nova Scotia Arts Council. The sound materials in this piece were recorded in northern Thailand and have been transformed to create a sonic fabric of memory and consciousness.

Recording of Simo Lazarov's Everything is sound. The composer's note simply states: "Everything around is sounds…and has a composer!" This piece utilizes quoted material and samples including J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, sung Bulgarian folk music, dog barks, and sweeping orchestral chords.

Recording of Simo Lazarov's Petrounka. This recording is a collection of mixed and modified folk melodies from regions in Bulgaria, encapsulating the atmosphere of Bulgarian villages.

Water use in the pulp and paper industry is very significant, and the U.S. pulp and paper industries as well as other processing industries are actively pursuing water conservation and pollution prevention by in-process recycling of water. Bleach plant effluent is a large portion of the water discharged from a typical bleached kraft pulp mill. The recycling of bleach plant effluents to the kraft recovery cycle is widely regarded as an approach to low effluent bleached kraft pulp production. The focus of this work has been on developing an electrodialysis process for recycling the acidic bleach plant effluent of bleached Kraft pulp mills. Electrodialysis is uniquely suited as a selective kidney to remove non-process elements (NPEs) from bleach plant effluent before they reach the chemical recovery cycle. Using electrodialysis for selective NPE removal can prevent the problems caused by accumulation of inorganic NPEs in the pulping cycle and recovery boiler. In this work, acidic bleach plant filtrates from three mills using different bleaching sequences based on chlorine dioxide were characterized. The analyses showed no fundamental differences in the inorganic NPE composition or other characteristics among these filtrates. The majority of total dissolved solids in the effluents were found to be …

This report summarizes the research performed in the past year in the Argonne Physics Division. The Division's programs include operation of ATLAS as a national heavy-ion user facility, nuclear structure and reaction research with beams of heavy ions, accelerator research and development especially in superconducting radio frequency technology, nuclear theory and medium energy nuclear physics. The Division took significant strides forward in its science and its initiatives for the future in the past year. Major progress was made in developing the concept and the technology for the future advanced facility of beams of short-lived nuclei, the Rare Isotope Accelerator. The scientific program capitalized on important instrumentation initiatives with key advances in nuclear science. In 1999, the nuclear science community adopted the Argonne concept for a multi-beam superconducting linear accelerator driver as the design of choice for the next major facility in the field a Rare Isotope Accelerator (WA) as recommended by the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee's 1996 Long Range Plan. Argonne has made significant R&D progress on almost all aspects of the design concept including the fast gas catcher (to allow fast fragmentation beams to be stopped and reaccelerated) that in large part defined the RIA concept the superconducting rf …

Recording of Mauro Cardi's Alba. This is a work for electronics, zarb, and spoken word. The composer references the Persian God, Shams Tabrizi, in their description of the piece.

Recording of Natasha Barrett's Angels and devils. This piece is one of two shorter acousmatic works underlying a theatre creation called "Agora". This recording is meant to explore the psychology of good versus evil and includes fragments from an old Norse poem: Volundkvadet.

Recording of Lennart Westman's Globalcom. The title comes from the combination of the words "global communication" and is meant to represent people expressing themselves in a universal acoustic room. This piece is for electronics and includes concrete sounds of violin, voice, percussion, etc.

Recording of Marie-Hélène Bernard's La mousson. This work is meant to represent a Cambodian summer, punctuated by the sounds of rain and children playing outside despite the weather.

Recording of Simo Lazarov's Sing a song. This is a work for electronics and includes singing by a Bulgarian Folk group.

Recording of Manuel Rocha Iturbide's Cantos Rituales. The main idea behind this work was to search for different kinds of field sound recordings based in prayers and ritual singing from all around the world. These recordings were then processed through a computer and combined in order to make this composition. The composer describes this piece as a hymn dedicated to all humankind, where they are seeking a spiritual unity common to all, regardless of their culture and beliefs.

Recording of Robert Normandeau's Eden. This work is based on the music composed for the play "L'Éden cinéma" by Marguerite Duras. The stage and concert music were composed in parallel as part of the same fiction but corresponding to different purposes. Given Duras' music, which was filled with instruction, the composer of this work responded to this by playing continuous music in the room. In the concert version sound elements are added to represent different facets of Duras' life.
