Tra declamazione e pantomima: Metastasio riconcepito
No full textIn 1779 a pamphlet appeared entitled Pantomime dramatique that had immediately the honors of laudatory reviews by Diderot and Grimm. The author, who is hiding in anonymity, was Charles-Nicholas Cochin (1715-1790), renowned engraver and painter, philosophe capable of being in relationship both with the circles of encyclopaedists and with their opponents. He was also active in opéra and opéra-comique environments. The booklet was published at the beginning of querelles about Gluck’s operas in Paris and the consequent “fusion of genres” that involved French opera in the second half of the Eighteenth-century. It was indeed the first proposal to adjust Metastasian opera seria to the French scene, a dramaturgical idea that many poets and composers will realize in practice few years later; Cochin conceives it as a mixture of music, declamation and pantomime that involve the principal French debates on a new genre of spectacle
Handbook of X-ray Imaging: Physics and Technology
No full textFeatures
Comprehensive coverage of the use of X-rays both in medical radiology and industrial testing
The first handbook published to be dedicated to the physics and technology of X-rays
Handbook edited by world authority, with contributions from experts in each field
Summary
Containing chapter contributions from over 130 experts, this unique publication is the first handbook dedicated to the physics and technology of X-ray imaging, offering extensive coverage of the field. This highly comprehensive work is edited by one of the world’s leading experts in X-ray imaging physics and technology and has been created with guidance from a Scientific Board containing respected and renowned scientists from around the world.
The book's scope includes 2D and 3D X-ray imaging techniques from soft-X-ray to megavoltage energies, including computed tomography, fluoroscopy, dental imaging and small animal imaging, with several chapters dedicated to breast imaging techniques. 2D and 3D industrial imaging is incorporated, including imaging of artworks. Specific attention is dedicated to techniques of phase contrast X-ray imaging.
The approach undertaken is one that illustrates the theory as well as the techniques and the devices routinely used in the various fields. Computational aspects are fully covered, including 3D reconstruction algorithms, hard/software phantoms, and computer-aided diagnosis. Theories of image quality are fully illustrated. Historical, radioprotection, radiation dosimetry, quality assurance and educational aspects are also covered.
This handbook will be suitable for a very broad audience, including graduate students in medical physics and biomedical engineering; medical physics residents; radiographers; physicists and engineers in the field of imaging and non-destructive industrial testing using X-rays; and scientists interested in understanding and using X-ray imaging techniques.
The handbook's editor, Dr. Paolo Russo, has over 30 years’ experience in the academic teaching of medical physics and X-ray imaging research. He has authored several book chapters in the field of X-ray imaging, is Editor-in-Chief of an international scientific journal in medical physics, and has responsibilities in the publication committees of international scientific organizations in medical physics
Reasons for rejection
No full textRejection of a paper refers to the decision of the Editor of a scientific Journal not to accept the submitted manuscript for publication in that Journal. This condition may occur in any phase of the paper evaluation process, but mostly occurs at the end of the first round of the peer-review process, i.e. when one of two experts, asked for their independent opinion, suggest reasons for acceptance, revision or rejection of the manucript. Typically, in the case of a negative peer-review, the Associate Editor expresses a recommendation (e.g., reject) for the Editor-in-Chief, who takes the final decision. The rejection rate of a Journal, i.e. the ratio of the number of rejected to the number of evaluated manuscripts, has been seen to increase over the last years in many well-reputed scientific Journals, also in the case of medical physics Journals, and this has caused concern both in the Journal's Editorial Boards, and in the authors' community. For example, for the Journal Physica Medica (European Journal of Medical Physics, EJMP) the rejection rate is such that only about one manuscript out of three is accepted for publication. This has then prompted various actions from scientific Publishers and Journal Editors, in order to increase the awareness of the authors toward the scientific writing best practice, the peer-review process and the Journals' whole paper evaluation process. This presentation, by the Editor-in-Chief of EJMP, indicates possible reasons for paper rejection, based on the presenter's experience as an author, as a reviewer, as Associate Editor and as Editor of a scientific Journal in medical physics. These reasons may include lack of proper English writing, lack of motivations or originality, weaknesses in the methodological aspects or in the significance of the findings and other specific reasons, which overall may indicate a general lack of convincing strength of the manuscript. Since publishing in a well-reputed scientific Journal is a competition for the acquisition of the consensus in the Journal's audience, and hence in the corresponding scientific community, toward the work carried out in the specific study, lack of strength of a manuscript for one or more of the above reasons invariably leads to paper rejection. Ultimately, the efforts by the scientific community toward reaching the best practice in scientific writing and evaluation, will hopefully produce a reduced Journals' rejection rate, and most importantly, an improved efficacy of the research work, for the benefit of the scientific and social progess
Paolo Russo, Felice Romanis „I Capuleti e i Montecchi" von der ‚Großen' zur ‚pathetischen' Erhabenheit
No full textIl saggio presenta la struttura drammatica di "Capuleti e Montecchi" di Verdi. Esamina in particolare come i numeri lirici dell'opera si radichino nella anche nella tradizione del ballo che è all'origine del libretto operistico. Obiettivo del lavoro è trovare i modi per narrare gli intrecci operistici in base alla loro realizzazione musicale, persuaso che un conto sia la trama raccontata dal libretto - narrabile come ogni altra trama teatrale - altro conto sia narrarne l'intonazione musicale, come il compositore focalizza e riorganizza in altre trame le fila dell'opera. Nel caso dell'opera di Bellini si dimostra come la competizione dell’opera con la tradizione letteraria avvenisse ormai senza assumere modelli tratti dalla tragedia, come era accaduto nel Settecento, ma grazie alla definitiva messa a punto di forme musicali complesse e sfaccettate, capaci di dar suono alle passioni più sfumate, graduate e introverse
