Founded in 1955, the Society for Ethnomusicology is a global, interdisciplinary network of individuals and institutions engaged in the study of music in all historical periods and cultural contexts.

OBS

SEM is a U.S.-based organization with an international membership of approximately 1,750 individuals dedicated to the study of all forms of music from diverse humanistic and social scientific perspectives. [The Society examines] music as central to human experience throughout space and time, and explore its profound relationship to cognition, emotion, language, dance, visual arts, spiritual belief, social organization, collective identity, politics, conflict and peace, economics, the physical body, and mental health. Through SEM programs and the work of individual members, [this society seeks] to advance academic and public understanding and appreciation of music as a cultural phenomenon of unlimited variety and as a resource that is fundamental to the wellbeing of individuals and communities.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Photoelectricity and Electron Optics
DEF

An instrument similar to an electron microscope in that a beam of electrons is used to scan the surface of a specimen.

OBS

The beam is moved in a point-to-point manner over the surface of the specimen. These electrons are deflected, collected, accelerated, and directed against a scintillator. The large number of photons thus created are converted into an electric signal that, in turn, modulates the beam scanning the surface of the specimen. The image produced appears to be three-dimensional and lifelike.

Microscope électronique à balayage (MEB) [...] Un faisceau d'électrons mitraille l'échantillon. Au contact de la surface, le faisceau perd de l'énergie, et émet des électrons secondaires, des rayons X, de la lumière. Or l'intensité de ces électrons secondaires dépend de la nature du point bombardé et du relief, ce qui permet, après analyse, de construire une image. On voit ainsi la surface des bactéries, pollens, cristaux...

Así herido por el haz, cada uno de los puntos emite electrones secundarios que, debidamente colectados, forman una señal que modula el haz catódico de un catoscopio de televisión. Este haz barre la pantalla luminiscente en sincronismo con el haz primario y forma en ella la imagen del objeto considerablemente ampliado.

Subject field(s)
  • Sciences - General
  • Photoelectricity and Electron Optics
CONT

In scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a fine probe of electrons with energies typically up to 40 keV [kiloelectron volts] is focused on a specimen, and scanned along a pattern of parallel lines. Various signals are generated as a result of the impact of the incident electrons, which are collected to form an image or to analyse the sample surface. These are mainly secondary electrons, with energies of a few tens of eV [electron volts], high-energy electrons backscattered from the primary beam and characteristic X-rays.

Subject field(s)
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools
  • Spacecraft
CONT

The SEM subsystem consists of four instruments used for in situ measurements and monitoring of the near-earth (geostationary altitude) space environment and for observing the solar X-ray output. An energetic particles sensor (EPS) and high energy proton and alpha detector (HEPAD) monitor the incident flux density of protons, alpha particles, and electrons over an extensive range of energy levels. Solar output is monitored by an X-ray sensor (XRS) mounted on an X-ray positioning platform, fixed on the solar array yoke. Two redundant three-axis magnetometers, mounted on a deployed 3-meter boom, operate one at a time to monitor Earth's geomagnetic field strength in the vicinity of the spacecraft. The SEM instruments are capable of ground command-selectable, in-flight calibration for monitoring on-orbit performance and ensuring proper operation.

CONT

The Space Environment Monitor (SEM) measures in situ the effect of the Sun on the near-earth solar-terrestrial electromagnetic environment, providing real-time data to the Space Environment Services Center (SESC). The SESC, as the nation's "space weather" service, receives, monitors, and interprets a wide variety of solar-terrestrial data, and issues reports, alerts and forecasts for special events such as solar flares or geomagnetic storms. This information is important to the operation of military and civilian radio wave and satellite communication and navigation systems, as well as electric power networks, and to the mission of geophysical explorers, Shuttle and Space Station astronauts, high-altitude aviators, and scientific researchers.

CONT

The Space Experiment Module (SEM) is an experiment managed by the Goddard Space Flight Center. It is part of an initiative to increase educational access to space. The SEM canister will contain up to 10 small, enclosed modules, each containing a separate, passive experiment, designed and constructed by students. The experiments will remain on the Shuttle during Mission STS-105. Each SEM module and module controller is powered by an internal battery to regulate each experiment operations, timelines and activities.

Subject field(s)
  • Mathematics
CONT

Structural equation modeling, or SEM, is a very general, chiefly linear, chiefly cross-sectional statistical modeling technique. Factor analysis, path analysis and regression all represent special cases of SEM. SEM is a largely confirmatory, rather than exploratory, technique. That is, a researcher are more likely to use SEM to determine whether a certain model is valid., rather than using SEM to "find" a suitable model--although SEM analyses often involve a certain exploratory element.
