La traviata: Critical Edition Study Score (The Works of Giuseppe Verdi, Series I: Operas)

by Giuseppe Verdi

“I complain bitterly of the editions of my last operas, made with such little care, and filled with an infinite number of errors.”—Giuseppe Verdi The University of Chicago Press, in collaboration with Casa Ricordi, has undertaken to publish the first critical edition of the complete works of Giuseppe Verdi. The series, based exclusively on original sources, is the only one to present authentic versions of all of the composer’s works; together with his operas, the critical edition presents his songs, his choral music and sacred pieces, and his string quartet and other instrumental works. The Works of Giuseppe Verdi will be an invaluable standard reference work—a necessary acquisition for all music libraries and a joy to own for all lovers of opera. The new series of study scores presents an adaptation of each critical edition that provides scholars with an affordable and portable option for exploring Verdi’s oeuvre. The study scores have been designed to distinguish editors’ marks from Verdi’s own notations while remaining clear enough for use in performance. The introduction to each score discusses the work’s sources, composition, and performance history, as well as performance practices, instrumentation, and problems of notation. The newest editions of the study scores examine two of Verdi’s three-act operas: La traviata and Rigoletto.

Simulation and Learning: A Model-Centered Approach

by Franco Landriscina

The main idea of this book is that to comprehend the instructional potential of simulation and to design effective simulation-based learning environments, one has to consider both what happens inside the computer and inside the students' minds. The framework adopted to do this is model-centered learning, in which simulation is seen as particularly effective when learning requires a restructuring of the individual mental models of the students, as in conceptual change. Mental models are by themeselves simulations, and thus simulation models can extend our biological capacity to carry out simulative reasoning. For this reason, recent approaches in cognitive science like embodied cognition and the extended mind hypothesis are also considered in the book.. A conceptual model called the “epistemic simulation cycle” is proposed as a blueprint for the comprehension of the cognitive activies involved in simulation-based learning and for instructional design.

Poems and Selected Letters (The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe)

by Veronica Franco

Veronica Franco (whose life is featured in the motion picture Dangerous Beauty) was a sixteenth-century Venetian beauty, poet, and protofeminist. This collection captures the frank eroticism and impressive eloquence that set her apart from the chaste, silent woman prescribed by Renaissance gender ideology. As an "honored courtesan", Franco made her living by arranging to have sexual relations, for a high fee, with the elite of Venice and the many travelers—merchants, ambassadors, even kings—who passed through the city. Courtesans needed to be beautiful, sophisticated in their dress and manners, and elegant, cultivated conversationalists. Exempt from many of the social and educational restrictions placed on women of the Venetian patrician class, Franco used her position to recast "virtue" as "intellectual integrity," offering wit and refinement in return for patronage and a place in public life. Franco became a writer by allying herself with distinguished men at the center of her city's culture, particularly in the informal meetings of a literary salon at the home of Domenico Venier, the oldest member of a noble family and a former Venetian senator. Through Venier's protection and her own determination, Franco published work in which she defended her fellow courtesans, speaking out against their mistreatment by men and criticizing the subordination of women in general. Venier also provided literary counsel when she responded to insulting attacks written by the male Venetian poet Maffio Venier. Franco's insight into the power conflicts between men and women and her awareness of the threat she posed to her male contemporaries make her life and work pertinent today.

Il trovatore: Critical Edition Study Score (The Works of Giuseppe Verdi, Series I: Operas)

by Giuseppe Verdi

The Works of Giuseppe Verdi is the first critical edition of the composer’s oeuvre. Together with his operas, the series presents his songs, his choral music and sacred pieces, and his string quartet and other instrumental works. Based on Verdi’s autograph score and an examination of important secondary sources, including contemporary manuscript copies and performing parts, this edition of Il trovatore identifies and resolves numerous ambiguities of harmony, melodic detail, text, and phrasing that have marred previous scores. Scholars and performers alike will find a wealth of information in the critical apparatus to inform their research and interpretations. The introduction to the score outlines the work’s genesis, sources, and performance history, while the critical commentary discusses all editorial decisions.

Teoria della Probabilità: Variabili aleatorie e distribuzioni (UNITEXT #123)

by Andrea Pascucci

Il libro fornisce un'introduzione concisa ma rigorosa alla Teoria della Probabilità. Fra i possibili approcci alla materia si è scelto quello più moderno, basato sulla teoria della misura: pur richiedendo un grado di astrazione e sofisticazione matematica maggiore, esso è indispensabile a fornire le basi per lo studio di argomenti più avanzati come i processi stocastici, il calcolo differenziale stocastico e l'inferenza statistica. Nato dall'esperienza di insegnamento del corso di Probabilità e Statistica Matematica presso la Laurea Triennale in Matematica dell'Università di Bologna, il testo raccoglie materiale per un insegnamento semestrale in corsi di studio scientifici (Matematica, Fisica, Ingegneria, Statistica...), assumendo come prerequisito il calcolo differenziale e integrale di funzioni di più variabili. I quattro capitoli del libro trattano i seguenti argomenti: misure e spazi di probabilità; variabili aleatorie; successioni di variabili aleatorie e teoremi limite; attesa e distribuzione condizionata. Il testo include una raccolta di esercizi risolti.

Introduzione al Progetto di Sistemi a Microprocessore

by Giuliano Donzellini Andrea Mattia Garavagno Luca Oneto

Il libro di testo è concepito per studenti di un primo corso sullo sviluppo di sistemi a microprocessore, nelle Facoltà di Ingegneria e di Scienze. Adattabile a diverse esigenze didattiche, non richiede conoscenze preliminari sui microprocessori e fornisce una solida introduzione all’argomento. L’apprendimento della teoria è facilitato da numerosi esempi ed esercizi, tutti risolti per esteso, e consolidato con la loro verifica funzionale tramite simulazione. Un sito web di libero accesso ospita il software di simulazione gratuito Deeds (Digital Electronics Education and Design Suite), creato e mantenuto dagli autori, e contiene tutto il materiale riguardante gli esempi ed esercizi presentati nel libro. Nel testo vengono prima introdotti i concetti generali, tramite un approccio progettuale che porta alla definizione di un piccolo microprocessore dimostrativo. Viene quindi presentato un secondo microprocessore appositamente pensato per la didattica, di cui se ne approfondisce la programmazione e l’interfacciamento. Il percorso didattico si conclude con numerosi esempi di progetto, verificabili tramite prototipi da realizzare su schede FPGA. Ideale per l’auto-apprendimento, grazie alla simbiosi ottimale con il simulatore Deeds, il libro può essere usato ugualmente con profitto indipendentemente da esso. Il testo racchiude la pluri-decennale esperienza degli autori nell’insegnamento e nello sviluppo di materiale didattico nell’ambito del progetto di sistemi digitali, aggiungendosi al libro precedente “Introduzione al Progetto di Sistemi Digitali” pubblicato dagli autori con Springer nel 2018.

Meccanica Analitica: Meccanica Classica, Meccanica Lagrangiana e Hamiltoniana e Teoria della Stabilità (UNITEXT #122)

by Valter Moretti

Il testo parte da una rivisitazione teorica della meccanica classica newtoniana e del suo linguaggio matematico che si conclude con un'analisi critica della meccanica classica newtoniana. Si passa quindi alle formulazioni lagrangiane e hamiltoniane della meccanica classica, discutendo in particolare il rapporto tra simmetrie e costanti del moto all'interno di varie versioni del teorema di Noether e analoghi risultati. I capitoli sulla meccanica hamiltoniana, oltre al materiale standard come le parentesi di Poisson, la geometria simplettica, la formulazione di Hamilton-Jacobi e principi variazionali, includono alcuni risultati teorici importanti come il teorema di Liouville e il teorema di ricorrenza di Poincaré. La teoria della stabilità è introdotta e discussa nell'approccio di Liapunov. Il linguaggio adottato in tutto il testo è quello della geometria differenziale, che in ogni caso viene introdotta gradualmente. Un complemento finale include la teoria di base dei sistemi di equazioni differenziali ordinarie e dei sistemi con alcune generalizzazioni alla teoria sulle varietà. Diverse appendici introducono alcuni strumenti matematici come la teoria delle forme differenziali, la derivata di Lie e la teoria dell'integrazione su varietà. Il libro include diversi esercizi risolti.Il libro si rivolge agli studenti di Matematica e Fisica per i corsi di Meccanica Razionale e Meccanica Analitica.

Eserciziario di Statistica Inferenziale (UNITEXT #120)

by Francesca Gasperoni Francesca Ieva Anna Maria Paganoni

Questo testo nasce con l'obiettivo di aiutare lo studente nella transizione fra i concetti teorici e metodologici dell'inferenza statistica e la loro implementazione al computer. La prima parte del testo è infatti focalizzata principalmente su esercizi da risolvere con carta e penna, in modo da far applicare nozioni derivanti da lemmi e teoremi; mentre la seconda parte del testo è costituita da laboratori, in cui si propone sia l'implementazione manuale di algoritmi, sia l'apprendimento di built-in tools per un'analisi efficiente di dataset derivanti da problemi reali.Per ottimizzare la fruizione degli argomenti sviluppati, e per accompagnare il lettore nello studio, il testo è organizzato in capitoli, ciascuno dei quali composto, a sua volta, da una prima parte introduttiva, in cui vengono richiamate le basi teoriche dell'inferenza statistica, e da una seconda parte di esercizi, corredati di un esaustivo svolgimento su carta e, se opportuno, su software.Il testo è rivolto agli studenti dei corsi di laurea di primo livello di Statistica, Matematica, Ingegneria e per i corsi di secondo livello in Data Science.

Manuale di microbiologia predittiva: Concetti e strumenti per l'ecologia microbica quantitativa (Food)

by Fausto Gardini Eugenio Parente

La microbiologia predittiva si occupa dello sviluppo di modelli matematici per la crescita, la sopravvivenza e l’inattivazione dei microrganismi negli alimenti. La sua importanza per la valutazione del rischio microbiologico e l’ottimizzazione dei processi dell’industria alimentare è ormai indiscussa e riconosciuta anche dalla normativa comunitaria. Questo manuale – opera di autorevoli specialisti italiani e stranieri – fornisce le basi teoriche e pratiche per la progettazione degli esperimenti, l’analisi dei dati, la formulazione dei modelli e l’interpretazione dei risultati. Dopo aver introdotto i concetti base della modellazione dei fenomeni biologici, il testo presenta le diverse tipologie di modelli. L’ampia trattazione dei modelli primari non si limita ai modelli classici, ma è estesa anche agli approcci più recenti, basati su cinetiche non lineari o probabilistiche. Sono quindi approfonditi i modelli secondari, che descrivono i parametri della crescita al variare di condizioni chimico-fisiche e ambientali. Vengono inoltre descritti i principali modelli terziari, cioè i software e i database disponibili per la microbiologia predittiva. Capitoli specifici sono dedicati all’integrazione dei modelli con i principali fenomeni chimico-fisici rilevanti nelle tecnologie alimentari e all’utilizzo dei modelli nella valutazione quantitativa del rischio, fondamentale per la sicurezza degli alimenti. Conclude il volume una rassegna degli strumenti statistici utilizzati in microbiologia predittiva, integrata da esempi con l’impiego dell’ambiente R per l’analisi statistica. L’opera – diretta a studenti, ricercatori e professionisti – è arricchita da illustrazioni, grafici e tabelle. Il testo è collegato a esercizi e approfondimenti, disponibili on line.
