Ancora oggi, a cinquant’anni dalla fondazione, ogni notizia riguardante i Led Zeppelin è in grado di catalizzare l’attenzione degli amanti del rock più di qualsiasi altra. Quasi come se la band fondata da Jimmy Page si fosse sciolta solo dopo il leggendario concerto del dicembre 2007 all’O2 Arena di Londra e non nel lontano 1980. Nonostante sia chiaro a tutti che la loro forza dirompente dipendesse dal contributo di ognuno dei quattro elementi che la componevano, nell’immaginario comune i meriti maggiori vanno invece divisi tra i due maggiori compositori della band. Le dinamiche del rapporto tra Jimmy Page e Robert Plant assomigliano terribilmente a quelle di altre celeberrime copp...
To deal with the flexible architectures and evolving functionalities of complex modern systems, the agent metaphor and agent-based computing are often the most appropriate software design approach. As a result, a broad range of special-purpose design processes has been developed in the last several years to tackle the challenges of these specific application domains. In this context, in early 2012 the IEEE-FIPA Design Process Documentation Template SC0097B was defined, which facilitates the representation of design processes and method fragments through the use of standardized templates, thus supporting the creation of easily sharable repositories and facilitating the composition of new desi...
Insieme a Mick Jagger, Robert Plant e Roger Daltrey, Freddie Mercury ha incarnato il prototipo dell’animale da palcoscenico totale, entrando in maniera indelebile nell’immaginario collettivo di almeno tre generazioni di appassionati di musica. Oltre all’innata propensione alla teatralità e alla vocalità unica, del suo personaggio eccessivo, ironico e volutamente provocatorio sono sempre state evidenziate caratteristiche che poco avevano a che fare con l’uomo e con l’artista, preferendo puntare sul gossip e su aspetti della sua vita piuttosto che sulla sua musica. Troppo di frequente, poi, si è dimenticato di sottolineare in lui il grande musicista: basterebbe un brano geniale e immortale come Bohemian Rhapsody a confutare l’idea che Mercury fosse solo un buon cantante e un performer stupefacente, ma la lista di hit da classifica e di perle disseminate in ogni album dei Queen parlano più di qualsiasi analisi.
Telling stories is one of the fundamental things we do as humans. Yet in scholarship, stories considered to be “traditional”, such as myths, folk tales, and epics, have often been analyzed separately from the narratives of personal experience that we all tell on a daily basis. In Storytelling as Narrative Practice, editors Elizabeth Falconi and Kathryn Graber argue that storytelling is best understood by erasing this analytic divide. Chapter authors carefully examine language use in-situ, drawing on in-depth knowledge gained from long-term fieldwork, to present rich and nuanced analyses of storytelling-as-narrative-practice across a diverse range of global contexts. Each chapter takes a holistic ethnographic approach to show the practices, processes, and social consequences of telling stories.
The two-volume set LNCS 11973 and 11974 constitute revised selected papers from the Third International Conference on Numerical Computations: Theory and Algorithms, NUMTA 2019, held in Crotone, Italy, in June 2019. This volume, LNCS 11973, consists of 34 full and 18 short papers chosen among papers presented at special streams and sessions of the Conference. The papers in part I were organized following the topics of these special sessions: approximation: methods, algorithms, and applications; computational methods for data analysis; first order methods in optimization: theory and applications; high performance computing in modelling and simulation; numbers, algorithms, and applications; optimization and management of water supply.
This two volume set (LNCS 8156 and 8157) constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing, ICIAP 2013, held in Naples, Italy, in September 2013. The 162 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 354 submissions. The papers aim at highlighting the connection and synergies of image processing and analysis with pattern recognition and machine learning, human computer systems, biomedical imaging and applications, multimedia interaction and processing, 3D computer vision, and understanding objects and scene.
This revised and updated Research Handbook on European State Aid Law brings together established academics and practitioners to provide a wide-ranging coverage of the field. Incorporating political science, economics and the law in its analysis, it provides a strong overview of the salient issues in State aid law and policy.
Contract Law: Cases and Materials presents a selection of well-chosen cases and illuminating commentary ideal for introducing students to the study of contract law in Australia. Developed to accompany Stewart, Swain and Fairweather's Contract Law: Principles and Context, this casebook maintains the accessibility of the principles text while providing the depth and analysis of topics required to learn contract law. Following the structure of the principles text, this text explores areas not traditionally covered in other casebooks, such as resolving disputes, preparing to make a contract, preliminary agreements, and interpreting contracts. Each chapter also briefly explores contracts in international contexts. Containing well-chosen, carefully curated cases and extracts, Contract Law: Cases and Materials takes a practical approach to student learning and integrates rich pedagogy to build critical thinking and analysis skills, making it an invaluable resource for contract law students.
