Una nota su Albrecht Dürer e Vitruvio
No full textIn this essay the author proposes an overall reconsideration of Albrecht Dürer’s relationship with Vitruvius’ De Architectura, paying constant attention to the surviving sources. Furthermore, the author also investigates an overlooked aspect of this relationship that concerns the significant reception of Dürer’s treatises among Vitruvius’ translators and commentators between the XVIth and the XVIIth centuries. In questo saggio l'autore propone una riconsiderazione globale del rapporto di Albrecht Dürer con il De Architectura di Vitruvio, prestando costante attenzione alle fonti rimaste. Inoltre, l'autore indaga anche un aspetto trascurato di questo rapporto, che riguarda la significativa accoglienza dei trattati di Dürer tra i traduttori e i commentatori di Vitruvio tra il XVI e il XVII secolo
LA CONDIZIONE GIURIDICADELLE ENCLAVI IN EUROPA: UN'ANALISI COMPARATA.
No full textThe author analyses the legal status of enclaves. According to a strict interpretation, enclaves are portions of a country cut off from the national territory of another. Little has been written about the legal status of enclaves. The author analyzes the historical origin of enclaves and then focuses in particular on: Campione d’Italia, Llivia, Büsingen and Baarle-Hertog. The latter are the only four enclaves left in Europe. Notwithstanding the existence of relevant differences between these four entities, they all have in common very peculiar and complex legal relationships with both the enclavant country and with the exclavant country. The author describes in further detail Campione d’Italia, with particular attention for the novelties introduced by the reform of Title V of the Italian Constitution. As a conclusion, the author evaluates the possible consequences of the European integration process, and argues that this may lead to the solution of many of the concrete problems that regard the enclaves
Alcune osservazioni su Joachim Camerarius biografo (e traduttore) di Albrecht Dürer
No full textIn this essay the author reconsiders Joachim Camerarius’s long
preface to the Latin edition of Albrecht Dürer’s Human Proportion (De symmetria
partium in rectis formis humanorum corporum) translated by Camerarius himself
and published in 1532 in Nuremberg «at the expense of Dürer’s widow». This
edition is analyzed here in comparison with the Latin translations of Albrecht
Dürer’s Instruction on Measurement (Institutiones geometricae) and Instructions on
Fortification (De urbibus, arcibus castellisque condendis ac muniendis) published in
Paris by Christian Wechel between 1532 and 1535, without the widow’s permission.
Thanks to this analysis, with new evidence, the author investigates
how Camerarius himself helps to defend Dürer’s legacy, as a creative artist and
as a theorist on art.– In this essay the author reconsiders Joachim Camerarius’s long preface to the Latin edition of Albrecht Dürer’s Human Proportion (De symmetria partium in rectis formis humanorum corporum) translated by Camerarius himself and published in 1532 in Nuremberg «at the expense of Dürer’s widow».

La recezione di Martin Schongauer incisore nell'arte e nella letteratura italiana del XVI e XVII secolo. Modelli di lettura
No full textIn this article the author proposes an overall reconsideration of the Martin Schongauer’s reception as engraver in Italian art and literature during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, paying constant attention to the surviving sources. Especially, the author investigates Schongauer’s position as Dürer’s master, his recognized role as initiator of the Nordic engraving, and the different ways in which his famous prints were reproduced in Italy
La ' città ideale' di Albrecht Dürer. Fonti e fortuna fra XVI e XVII secolo
No full textIn this article the author proposes an overall reconsideration of the Albrecht Dürer’s plan for a quadrate town published in his Treatise on Fortification (Nuremberg 1527), paying constant attention to the surviving sources. In particular, the author demonstrates that it is likely that Dürer drew formal inspiration for his quadrate town plan, and for the accurate external defensive system from earlier Italian architectural models – drawings by Leonardo and some parts of the Libro dell’arte della guerra by Machiavelli. For this reasons, it’s dismissed any dependence of Dürer’s quadrate town plan from utopian or different models, such as Thomas More’s Amauroto or the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan. Furthermore, in this article the author investigates also the significative reception of Dürer’s treatise in Italy, well-known thanks to the Latin version (Paris 1535)
Albrecht Dürer (e Marcantonio Raimondi) nella Felsina pittrice di Carlo Cesare Malvasia: biografia, autografia e collezionismo
No full textThanks to a new analysis of some passages from the Life of Marcantonio Raimondi, both in the printed version of Felsina pittrice and in the manuscript submitted by Carlo Cesare Malvasia in 1677 to the approval of the Inquisition, the author proposes a more complete evaluation of the role that Malvasia recognizes to Albrecht Dürer, with new considerations on the autography of his prints, on their importance in the artistic training of Marcantonio Raimondi, on their widespread collecting in Bologna shortly after the mid-seventeenth century
FARA: A Fast Artifact Recovery Algorithm with Optimum Stimulation Waveform for Single-Cell Resolution Massively Parallel Neural Interfaces
No full textThis paper introduces a fast artifact recovery algorithm (FARA) that uses electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to model the electrode-tissue interface and design an optimum stimulation waveform to minimize the residual artifact duration in single-cell resolution neural interfaces. Results in saline solution with a custom PCB and a 30 diameter microelectrode array show a worst case artifact recovery time of 160 when measured from the end of the working phase (anodic 500 . On average, the proposed algorithm provides an 81% improvement over a triphasic charge-balanced stimulation waveform.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Bio-Electronic
Geochemistry of Southeastern Nicaragua lavas and mantle xenoliths from Cerro Mercedes, Costa Rica:
No full textLavas from southeastern Nicaragua were geochemically analyzed, including several from a volcano never before sampled, in order to better understand the relationship between the chemistry of the lavas and the physical parameters of the Central American arc, which include depth to the slab, distance from the trench, slab dip and the age of the downgoing slab. The analyses were done by x-ray fluorescence, by high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and by thermal ionization mass spectrometry. The results show that the abundance of high-field strength elements in the lavas is particularly influenced by the depth to the slab underlying a volcano and the distance of the volcano from the trench. Additionally, the results show that decompression melting is an important process in the generation of these lavas.
The chemistry of mantle xenoliths from Cerro Mercedes, Costa Rica, were studied to elucidate the compositional and physical state of the mantle wedge underlying Central American. The composition of the mantle wedge is clarified through analyses of the whole rock; information about the physical state of the mantle is obtained from analyses of the minerals that constitute the xenoliths. The analytical methods used for the whole rock chemistry were x-ray fluorescence and high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Electron probe microscopy and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy were used to analyze the minerals. Results show that the mantle wedge composition is predominantly peridotite (~65% modal olivine) that has experienced variable degrees of modification by melt- and fluid- rock reactions, with pockets of cumulate pyroxenite. Although the majority of the peridotites are multi-phase residues, one sample, CM52, may be a first-stage residue. The xenoliths are spinel facies rocks, which correspond to pressures between 1 – 2.5 GPa, and have equilibrium temperatures ranging from 860°C – 1030°C at 1 GPa, which place them between 30km and 85km within the mantle. The potential temperature of the system, based on whole rock major oxide modeling, is 1580°C. Estimated values for the oxidation state of the mantle range from ΔƒO2FMQ +0.9 - ΔƒO2FMQ +3.25 for the peridotites and up to ΔƒO2FMQ +4.05 for the pyroxenites.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 278-287)by Fara N.

Marcantonio Raimondi e i nordici
No full textIn this article the author proposes an overall reconsideration of the relationships of Marcantonio Raimondi with the Nordic engravers, paying constant attention to the surviving sources. Furthermore, a new analysis of some passages from the Vita di Marcantonio Bolognese, e d’altri intagliatori di stampe by Giorgio Vasari has allowed a different interpretation of the Italian reception of some prints by Lucas van Leyden as well as of the Portrait of Pietro Aretino executed by Marcantonio: one of the masterpieces of European Renaissance engraving, which, for the first time, is being read here in the light of knowledge of a genre of portraiture emerged in Norhtern Europe in the early 1500s, that combines bust portraits with elegant Latin (and Greek) epigraphs - very significative for Marcantonio has been some famous engravings by Albrecht Dürer
