Opera postuma

It seems incredible that twelve volumes of medical works written in Morgagni's own handwriting should have been completely lost to sight until 1952, when Professor Adalberto Pazni, combing through the catalogues in the Laurenziana Library in Florence for the names of medieval doctors, should have discovered them by chance. How they came to be there is a story full of interest, a detective story...

Measuring Non-Spontaneous Interactivity: An Opera-related Case Study

Defining an instrumental concept of interactivity is a fundamental prerequisite for the investigation of interactive multimedia. Unfortunately, this has turned out to be a non-trivial task. Thus, we have recently proposed several approaches for characterizing the interactivity of spontaneous speech conversations. In this paper, we apply our methodology to the non-spontaneous case as represented...

Opera: desire, disease, death

In several senses, Hall cuts a better figure here than in Charlotte Hall's Memoirs. Nevertheless, the remnants of the earlier "spouseography" are often still visible, despite Manuel's apparent awareness of the historiographic implications of using Charlotte's work as a primary source (p. 23). Some instances are trivial. For example, Hall's trip to the Scottish Highlands is alluded to by Manuel ...

The OPERA Experiment

OPERA(Oscillation Project with EmulsiontRacking Apparatus) is a new detector concept, iron(lead)emulsion for a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. This experiment would perform an appearance search for υμ−υτ oscillation in the parameter region indicated by the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. OPERA can run at the Gran Sasso Laboratory in the proposed NGS (Neutrino to Gran Sasso) Beam fr...
