Discordance between pain and inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (2018)
Presentation / Conference
McWilliams, D. F. (2018, May). Discordance between pain and inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis. Paper presented at British Society for Rheumatology Annual Conference 2018, Liverpool. UK

Recent research interest has focused on the continuing problem of pain in RA. The long term prognosis for pain could be improved, even when inflammation is being suppressed. This talk will describe the progression of pain, and examine how factors oth... Read More about Discordance between pain and inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis.

Sounding out the space: a composer’s perspective on Spatial Music (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Macleod, D. (2018, April). Sounding out the space: a composer’s perspective on Spatial Music. Paper presented at sound agendas composers’ conference, The University of Sheffield

Pierre Boulez cites space as being the fifth dimension of music (1963). However Alvin Lucier observes that although considerable effort is put into the conception, generation and notation of music relatively little thought is given to the actual prop...
