Leonardo da Vinci: Il Trattato della Anatomia

Outstanding as were Leonardo da Vinci's achievements in anatomy it is well known that he never completed his studies in the subject. Although he tells us that he filled 120 books of anatomy none of these was published. The contents of these books are scattered throughout the various manuscripts many of which are at Windsor Castle. This present large work in three volumes, undertaken under the d...

Quaderni di Storia della Scienza e della Medicina. Universita degli Studi de Ferrara. 1963–1965. Il Fenomeno Paracelso

The original MS contained two chapters, on 'sex and sexuality' and 'mystical and religious experience', which the editor Dr. Mettler, professor of anatomy at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, and historian of medicine, had to omit, as he states, for lack of space. Had Dr. Landis's health permitted something of interest could have been brought out by a further chapter ...

We describe a statistical technique for assigning senses to words. An instance of a word is assigned a sense by asking a question about the context in which the word appears. The question is constructed to have high mutual information with the translation of that instance in another language. When we incorporated this method of assigning senses into our statistical machine translation system, t...

TESI PER IL CONSEGUIMENTO DEL TITOLO DI DOTTORE IN RICERCA Structural and transport studies of InAlAs/InGaAs quantum wells

The relationship between structural and low-temperature transport properties is explored for InxAl1-xAs/InxGa1-xAs metamorphic quantum wells with x > 0.7 grown on GaAs by molecular beamepitaxy. Different step-graded buffer layers are used to gradually adapt the in-plane latticeparameter from the GaAs towards the InGaAs value. We show that using buffer layers with asuitable maxim...
