As is well known, Leonardo defines painting as the "daughter of nature". His observation of nature, his fascination with every living thing that surrounded him was the main source of his drawings. His entire life was dedicated to investigating and trying to understand the laws of nature. Nature is observed, studied and depicted in all its forms. In fact, Leonardo constantly aims at reproducing every element of nature: animals, flowers, fruits, birds and also, a female smile, the throbbing of the hearth or - following a series of examples - the intricate plait of Renaissance hairdos. All these elements have in common the uninterrupted flow of the secret of life.
Examines the life and work of possibly the most celebrated religious painter of the Italian Early Renaissance, Fra Giovanni da Fiesole, known as Fra Angelico. From the delicate altarpieces to the serene frescos in the monastery of San Marco in Florence, this book discusses the context of the time and places in which his works were created.
Unique book addressing cooperative algorithms at the MAC layer Cooperative Communications: MAC Protocols focuses on issues pertaining to the MAC layer of wireless cooperative communication networks, offering a rigorous taxonomy of this dispersed field, along with a range of application scenarios for cooperative and distributed schemes to show how these techniques can be employed. The authors provide rigorous analytical tools for reservation and contention based MACs, as well as hybrids. This is complemented by an application of developed techniques to specific wireless standards. There is currently no book on the market which coherently discusses cooperative algorithms at the MAC layer. Introduces background, concepts, applications, milestones and thorough taxonomy of the field, along with a range of application scenarios Identifies the potential in this emerging technology applied to e.g. LTE/WiMAX, WSN Explores reservation-based, contention-based and hybrid cooperative MAC protocols, and applies rigorous mathematical tools to these Demonstrates cross-layer design to boost performance Addresses advanced MAC topics, such as opportunistic and network coded MACs Highlights future research challenges within the cooperative communications Includes an accompanying website ( http://books.cttc.es )
Leonardo's anatomical studies actually set themselves as an ideal meeting point between artistic and scientific interests because the study of the functioning of the body was essential for artistic practice in order to achieve the correct representation of the human figure. For Leonardo, the artistic practice was determined by an inexhaustible desire for knowledge that led him to study the human body through the Vitruvian proportions and through dissection, carried out by the artist with special care over the middle years of the first decade of the sixteenth century. Drawing becomes essential to understand and reproduce the structure of the male and female body, a "wonderful machine" perfectly thought out. The organs are devices and the body is a machine: Man then becomes a further testing ground for mechanical science.
