The Cutting Edge in Print: Images and the Discerning Mind in Achille Marozzo’s Opera nova (1536)

This article explores how Scholastic notions of the body, mind and cognition inform the didactic principles structuring the Opera nova (1536) by Achille Marozzo (1484-1553). A Bolognese fencing master, Marozzo belonged to a tradition of institutionalized martial training which had historically emphasized its connections to academic discourses of learning. In spite of this, Marozzo’s own work has been interpreted as following a straightforward tradition of copying forms and patterns, without much of an underlying theoretical argument. This article argues that Marozzo does present several conceptual references to Scholastic ideas about the workings of the brain, however, in particular to the mind’s dependence on mental images provided by the senses. Delving into these references not only helps to understand the didactic principles at work in the Opera nova as a whole, but also the specific role Marozzo seems to have attributed to the many woodcuts included in his book. In presenting this argument, this article then argues for the fruitful insights that can be gained from connecting fight books to both medieval and early modern Scholasticism, and the history of early modern art and science

At last an ISO C binding of GKS

The bindings of GKS and other semantic computer C graphics standards like GKS-3D and PHIGS are long overdue. While GKS was completed in 1985 and GKS-3D (and PHIGS) became an international standard in 1988, none of their C bindings could be standardized, for the simple reason that the C language itself was not a standard. Instead, a host of de facto GKS/C bindings appeared. This paper will give the flavour of the ISO C bind- GKS, GKS-3D, PHIGS, C language binding

OTOMATISASI LAMPU UTAMA DAN LAMPU ISYARAT PADA KENDERAAN RODA DUA NON MATIK

Comply with the law is to be done by every citizen . As with the enactment of Law no. 22 of 2009, regarding Traffic and Transportation . In Article 107 requires a two-wheeled vehicle riders should always turn on the headlights , and article 112 , every motorist to change lanes or turn and should provide a signal 30 meters before, and turn off the lights and signals after moving lane or turn . However , riders wheeled vehicles often forget to turn on the main lights are always on and off after the turn signal lights . In this study, the authors make the automation to turn on the main light by using light neutral ( at the time porsenling neutral position ) , if the light is neutral on the main lights off and if the neutral light off the main lights on . For turn signal lights / moving point , in accordance with the provisions required distance , by exploiting holes in the brake disc front disc and using optho-interuptter sensor , then the distance can be calculated . From the experimental results , obtained sensor headlights are always on when porsneling not neutral , while the proximity sensor to turn the signal lights / moving point with average error is 0.0375 % &nbsp
