Repeated notes are used frequently in compositions for the guitar as a way to provide the illusion of greater sustain or as a technique to add brilliance. Modern guitarists usually think of tremolo technique when they think of repeated notes, but tremolo technique is relatively recent. This chapter documents the practices used by early lutenists and 19th-century guitarists to play repeated notes and it provides material for studying the various ways these musicians developed their techniques. The discussion of Fernando Sor’s use of the right-hand thumb and index finger for repeated notes will be of interest to today’s guitarists. This chapter also explores the ways in which 19th-century guitarists played passages that modern guitarists might assume to be examples of modern tremolo technique. The fingering practices in this chapter are not covered in standard modern method books.

This chapter presents material to help students explore playing melody in chordal textures, above an Alberti bass, in an arpeggiated texture, and in single-line playing laced with occasional chords. The uninitiated often view the guitar as a chordal instrument, but technical and interpretive mastery requires the ability to voice any note in any texture at will. Refined and artistic voicing is often difficult for guitarists because the articulation of different parts of a musical texture are divided among the fingers of one hand instead of between two hands, as is often the case on the piano. Karl Leimer acknowledged this difficulty for pianists in 1932, and it holds true for guitarists. The problem is one of right-hand finger independence. Of special interest is the presentation of historical right-hand fingering practices for Alberti bass textures, which are different from those found in modern method books or assumed by modern players.

After practice, subjects balanced a dowel rod on the right and on the left index finger while speaking and while remaining silent. As compared to control, the verbal condition yielded shorter balancing times for the right hand, but longer ones for the left. A speculative model postulates enhancement of the practised skill by virtue of the distraction effect of the concurrent activity. This is counteracted on the right by interference with right-sided motor control by the left cerebral hemisphere due to verbal activity programmed by the same hemisphere.

Choice Reaction Times

To investigate human motor programming, choice reaction times were measured on tasks for which subjects made choices between two alternative finger-tapping-movement sequences. The total-number-of-responses and the hierarchical editor models were tested. In Exp. 1 the choice was carried on the situations with the same total numbers of possible responses and different structural relations between alternative sequences. The right-hand reaction times in mirror choice (e.g., subject chose between the middle, index, and ring finger sequences of the left or right hand) were shorter than those in nonmirror choice (e.g., subject chose between the middle, index, and ring finger sequence on one hand and the middle, ring, and index finger sequence on the other hand); the total-number-of-responses model was not supported. In Exp. 2 two conditions had the same operation numbers of the hierarchical editor model. In Condition 1 subjects chose between the index finger of the right hand and the ring, index, and middle finger sequence of the left hand. In Condition 2 subjects chose between the index, ring, and middle finger sequences of the left or right hand. The reaction time in the former condition was shorter than that in the latter condition. Exp. 2 exhibited a counterexample of the hierarchical editor model that had been fairly robust in previous studies.

Envenomations by colubrid snakes in Colombia are poorly known, consequently, the clinical relevance of these species in snakebite accidents has been historically underestimated. Herein, we report the first case of envenomation by opisthoglyphous snakes in Colombia occurred under fieldwork conditions at the municipality of Distracción, in the department of La Guajira. A female biologist was bitten on the index finger knuckle of her right hand when she tried to handle a false fer-de-lance snake (Leptodeira annulata). Ten minutes after the snakebite, the patient started to have symptoms of mild local envenomation such as edema, itching, and pain in the wound. After 40 minutes, the edema reached its maximum extension covering the dorsal surface of the right hand and causing complete loss of mobility. The clinical treatment focused on pain and swelling control. No laboratory tests were performed. The patient showed good progress with the total regression of the edema 120 hours after the snake-bite accident and complete recovery of the movement of the limb in one week. Venomous bites of “non-venomous snakes” (opisthoglyphous colubrid snakes) must be considered as a significant public health problem because patients lose their work capability during hours or even days and they are forced to seek medical assistance to treat the envenomation manifestations.

Signature authentication with static and dynamic features of signature has been studied for decades, in this paper a novel and new method based on estimating elasticity and viscoelasticity characteristics of the muscles and tendons of index finger of the right hand was presented and the angles between the finger knuckles were collected by data collection glove and the location of digital pen tip on sensitive pad is stored in computer too. With NMC model and writing required mathematical equations and inverse modeling, physiological characteristics of muscles and tendons of right hand were estimated by LMS criteria. This approach has been applied on 30 right-hand persons that of each individual 5 genuine signature and some ordinary forgers to counterfeit genuine signature only by seeing the shape of original signature. 93.4% forgery signatures could have been recognized from genuine and only 6.6% could not have been detected. For verification, we used 5-fold cross-validation, with mean of EER[Formula: see text] 3.57 and standard deviation of EER[Formula: see text] 0.736. Therefore, we identified the physiological viscoelasticity and elasticity of muscles and tendons of hand as a new biometric.

AbstractA simultaneous double dislocation (both proximal [PIP] and distal [DIP] interphalangeal joints) of a triphalangeal finger is a rare entity. The most common hand affected is the right hand. In the case of a closed triple dislocation (metacarpophalangeal [MCP], PIP and DIP joints); there are only two cases in the literature revised. In this case, we report an open triple dislocation in the index finger of the left-hand of a 54-year-old man treated by closed reduction and 3 weeks of immobilization followed by active mobilization with satisfactory results.

The existence of connections, in the form of tendon slips, between the tendons of the flexor pollicis longus and the flexor digitorum profundus indicis has been described by different authors as being a relatively frequent anomaly. Complete fusion between the two muscles, however, must be considered a very rare anomaly. A bilateral case is described, in which the right hand also had post-traumatic adhesions between the two tendons.

The right hand and left and sect was a peculiar system prevailed in the Medieval period of Tamil Nadu. This system consists 98 castes in the two sects. This system dominated the Tamil society for hundreds of years. It is believed that Karikala Chola established this system. In course of time many clashes arrived between them and it ends with death. Due to this system society diverted in to two. The Tamil kings gave full support to this system. In the beginning of 19th century this system disappeared suddenly from Tamil society. Nobody came to a conclusion that why this system appeared and disappeared in our society.
