ABSTRACTThis article presents a methodology for understanding large‐scale form in rock/pop music, focusing on the much‐discussed AABA form. Though previous authors on rock/pop form differ on what situations should be classified as AABA, this article argues that there are four essential patterns with which AABA songs might engage: AA–BA–BA, AAB–AB–(A), AA–B–A and AA–B/A. These four types are differentiated by their highest‐level manifestation of form, whereby the A and B sections are grouped into distinct patterns. Building on previous research, the analysis focuses on the surface‐level aspects that generate these larger patterns, which encompass harmony, melody, texture, dynamics, lyrics and clock time. The structure and function of the B section is particularly crucial in articulating each pattern. In presenting a wider notion of what might constitute B music, I explain how different options for constructing a B section can produce distinct trajectories within the larger umbrella of the given AABA type. Additionally, this methodology exploits the concepts of formal functionality and rotational form to illuminate the dynamic relations within AABA forms, demonstrating how the tonal layout of a B section affects its grouping potential and how larger cycles that reference the thematic components of the A sections can occur in the latter portions of certain AABA types.

This article deals with implementation of comparative valuation of several flats in the secondary housing market in the city of Volgograd. The methodology of multi-criteria ranking evaluation of the qualitative level of flats, which was suggested by the authors earlier, is used as a means of such valuation. The numerical ratings of the index of consumer preferences obtained by the authors are applied to the valuation price of the alternatives under consideration. The obtained revaluation coefficients are analyzed from the standpoint of a seller and that of a buyer.

On 23 September 1976 a 5-year-old girl was admitted to a hospital in Tokyo suffering from an abdominal contusion. The following day she excreted some fly larvae in her urine. The urine sample was collected in a standard receptacle, using routine precautions to avoid secondary contamination. Within an hour of collection the sample was examined and mature larvae were observed in the urine. Two larvae were recovered for examination. A sketch made from a living larva is given in FIG. 1. The notable features of this larva are the elongation of the tubercles bearing the posterior spiracles and the very conspicuous posterior balloonlike structures, which are presumably anal gills of some sort. These were very evident when the larvae were in urine but were apparently retracted when the larvae were transferred to water. The larvae appeared to be ingesting sediment material when in the urine in the laboratory.
