Conrad Hotels & Resorts is an American multinational brand of high-end luxury hotels and high-end resorts owned and operated by Hilton Worldwide. Conrad was considered the luxury flagship brand in the Hilton Family of Brands, named after company founder Conrad Hilton, until being supplanted by The Waldorf-Astoria Collection in 2006. As of December 31, 2019, it has 39 locations with 12,550 rooms in three countries and territories, including two that are owned or leased with 778 rooms, 35 that are managed with 10,890 rooms, and two that are franchised with 882 rooms.
Tendon disorders are common and account for a significant proportion of musculoskeletal pain presentations. Tendon pathology can occur in all ages leading to pain and disability that can substantially impact daily function, recreational activities, occupation and quality of life. An understanding of the complex tendon macro- and microscopic structure, along with its physiology and biomechanics provides the basic rationale for its medical or surgical treatments following injury. There are numerous described techniques for surgical repair of ruptured flexor tendons, and therefore it is important to understand the core principles for a successful repair which will be summarized in this article.
Since distributed feedback interband cascade lasers have already shown to be able to cover a wide window in the mid infrared region (2.8 µm [1] to 5.2 µm [2]) they are suitable light sources for applications where smallest concentrations of several gases have to be traced via absorption spectroscopy. With their broken gap alignment of the two binaries GaSb and InAs, carriers re-enter the conduction band after making a radiative recombination. This enables multiple quantum well stages in a stacked scheme as in quantum cascade lasers. Due to the interband nature of the transition, the gain per stage is larger and fewer stages are required to reach lasing threshold at moderate current levels. With threshold currents in the ten milliampere range, operation voltages below ten volts and output power of a few milliwatts, the interband cascade laser are best suited for spectroscopic applications. We demonstrate an array of multiple spectrally monomode emitters on a single semiconductor chip. The targeted emission wavelengths cover the mid infrared regime from around 3.3 to 3.5 microns.
We fabricated resonant tunneling diode photodetectors with a GaInAsSb absorption layer and a GaAsSb/AlAsSb double barrier. The detector cut-off wavelength is $3.5\ {\mu \text{m}}$ and reaches a peak sensitivity of 0.85 A/W at 2004 nm.

Moroccan Gnawa music is intended for sacred spirit possession rituals called lila. During a lila, sequential performances of possession dance take place. In the oral tradition of Gnawa practice, no explicit discourse seems to exist for these interactions. This paper investigates how variation in musical processes and possession dance correlate during a single performance of trance. My governing questions are: 1) how does music occur in the various stages of trance, and 2) what do musical processes tell us about the abstract phenomenon of trance? 3) Does a transitional phase exist that is expressed in a musical phrase? Following from Rouget’s concept that music is a technique of communication of the human world in order to facilitate trance and validate ritual beliefs, my interest lies in deciphering what music communicates about trance and how music (and dance) communicates the interaction between the temporal and supernatural in Gnawa rituals.
