SUMMARY
In the XVII century, when one of the naval culture development center was focused mainly in the Mediterranean area,
disciplines such as geometry, mathematics, static and hydrodynamics had not yet been studied and early naval
architecture treatises were still influenced by empirical and descriptive knowledge typical of an oral rather than a
scientific tradition. Precisely is in this context that, in 1626, that Joseph Furttenbach (1591 - 1667) published
Architectura Navalis in Ulm. In his treatise he provides a summary of technical descriptions and a detailed account of
the construction of sailing boats, according to the Italian way of building, based on direct observation of shipyards.
Furttenbach relies on geometric drawings and a metric system of proportions to describe these techniques. Exactly for
this reason, the Architectura Navalis is considered one of the first shipbuilding treaties, and it has been used as a model
for many authors of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century.

The National Air Race Museum was founded in 1989 in Sparks, Nevada by Ed Maloney, Larry Collins, Jack Northart, and Cliff Purdy to house artifacts and aircraft from air racing history. The museum opened in 1993 in a converted warehouse, featuring displays of air racing planes and memorabilia like trophies and gloves. The grand opening ceremony was well attended and helped establish the museum as an important institution celebrating aviation racing heritage.
The document discusses several Egyptian tomb models from the Middle Kingdom period depicting various occupations and activities that were important to daily life. These include models of weavers, bakers, millers, offering bearers, a granary, baking, brewing and butchery, plowing, boats, and a garden. Many of the models are housed in museums in locations like Boston, Berlin, Florence, Turin, Copenhagen, London, and New York.
Imagine boarding a sailing ship of the Dutch East India Company in the 1700s and heading through the English Channel bound for the Indies. Your ship is the Diemermeer, a heavily armed cargo vessel that the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC) built at its shipyards in Amsterdam.
The document profiles several influential architects throughout history including Mimar Sinan, Andrea Palladio, Louis Kahn, Frank Lloyd Wright, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Eero Saarinen, I.M.

It lists some of their most notable works such as Sinan's Selimye Mosque, Palladio's designs inspired classical architecture, Kahn's Salk Institute and Yale Art Gallery, Wright's Fallingwater and Guggenheim Museum, Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House and Barcelona Pavilion, Saarinen's TWA Terminal and St. Louis Gateway Arch, Pei's Louvre Pyramid, and Piano's Shard skyscraper
The writings that most closely belong to the discipline of history, and in particular the history of shipbuilding, are papers containing arguments quite different from each other, or very informative or very specialized. The scientist is often embarrassed in reading these books because they are written from a humanistic, and they are not scientific-technical papers, sometimes they are complemented with mathematical formulas and diagrams written in obsolete languages, designed to discern the paths of history passed, and adjacent to a discipline that looks to the near future and not in the past, a history too often forgotten. The Scientia navalis or Naval Science, which Leonhard Euler (1707 - 1783) was a teacher and somewhat precursor, from time immemorial languishing on the shelves of libraries, neglected by scholars. This occurred because the discipline has come to self-awareness, especially in the contemporary age, when, following the example of the Galilean revolution, the community of surveyors and scholars of mechanics oriented his attention to the problems of shipbuilding and vessel operations, which at first seemed disciplines entrusted only to the skill of the shipwright, carpenters and the Masters and Shipmasters on board ships, as well as to the wisdom of tradition. History, however, is a fascinating and fruitful field of study for some guidance because by understanding what has been achieved in the past, has been able to establish a more consistent definition of science and technology to be used in applied in the design and construction. Even for shipbuilding, in fact, the sedimentation of knowledge of the past passed down orally by the shipwright to their students and then taught in the schools of Naval Engineering in France scrolls and founded by Jean- Baptiste Colbert (1619 - 1683) Secretary of the French Navy in the seventeenth century, has been able to point the way to address and solve static and structural problems, but also those related to material behaviour and then, thanks to the Enlightenment of the eighteenth century, those relating to navigation and manoeuvring of vessels. Only in this way it was possible to achieve those goals of technical and technological developments that have allowed the massive shipbuilding industry in the nineteenth century, following the same “logic” that guided the ancient builders and shipwrights, thus obtaining accurate and effective design and construction solutions.
1. The document discusses the importance of history in naval science. It argues that understanding past achievements helps establish consistent definitions of science and technology that can guide design and construction.
2. It provides examples of how historical studies of shipbuilding have uncovered knowledge around static and structural problems as well as material behavior and navigation, enabling technological progress.
3. The document argues that integrating historical knowledge with modern scientific and technical skills allows naval architects and engineers to formulate better design criteria and tools, beyond just imitation, guided by both intuition and rigorous analysis.

This study refers to the interdisciplinary efforts to explore the globe with the great oceanic discoveries, an interesting open question, which had also contributed to the development of geography and exploration. In the fifteenth century the humanists translated the works of the ancient geographers, which influenced the ideological background of the great explorers. Geographical conceptions were gradually liberated from dogmatism, accepting the theory that the Earth is global and regenerating Ptolemy’s belief that the European west coasts are close to the eastern Asia.

THE GREAT INVENTIONS IN WATERWAY TRANSPORT THROUGHOUT HISTORY AND THEIR FUTUR...Fernando Alcoforado
This article aims to present the great inventions that occurred with the means of river, lake and maritime transport, aiming at the transport of people and cargo throughout history and its future evolution. The use of boats constituted one of the first means of locomotion invented by man and was crucial for the development of humanity. Since ancient times, boats have been used as a means of transport. In the beginning, canoes were used for fishing activities and short-distance transport. Canoes are considered the first vessels used to transport people and cargo. Taking advantage of the current of the water or using oars, the navigators moved the canoes, covering small distances. Over time, sailing boats were invented, which moved driven by the force of the wind. The development of ships and the discovery of new navigation techniques made it possible for human beings to cross rivers, seas and oceans, overcoming long distances in the transport of passengers and cargo, in addition to using them as weapons of war. From wooden canoes to large vessels such as modern ocean liners, there has been a lot of progress. In the future, vessels will benefit from increasingly sophisticated technologies. Smart ships will become an integral part of the reality that surrounds us.
THE REVOLUTIONS IN THE MEANS OF TRANSPORT FROM PRE-HISTORY TO THE CONTEMPORAR...Fernando Alcoforado

Alexandria Found and Lost - an online lecture by Dr Chris NauntonChristopher Naunton
Dr. Chris Naunton provides historical background on Alexandria, founded by Alexander the Great in Egypt in 332 BCE. Strabo's writings from the 1st century CE describe the layout of Ptolemaic Alexandria, including its two harbors, the Pharos lighthouse, royal palaces and gardens, and public buildings like the museum. Over time, Alexandria was lost and rediscovered, with few remains of its ancient glory. Excavations have uncovered remnants of the city walls, temples like the Caesareum and Serapeum, and civic structures like the stadium.

MARCUS VITRUVIUS POLLO is the first and most famous text in the history of western
landscape architecture, architecture, enginering and town planning. In Roman times the architect
was, from the word’s Greek etymology, a ‘chief technician’. The Ten Books\' Contents list
reveals that most aspects of engineering, including harbours, site planning, clocks, aqueducts,
pumps and siege engines, come with the author\'s technical scope. Only a tiny proportion of
these subjects come within the twenty-first century scope of ‘architecture’. Vitruvius Pollio’s
treatise De Architectura, was written circa 27 BC and is the only book of its kind to survive from
antiquity. These online extracts from Vitruvius comprise the first Book and his comments on
what we would now classify as garden design.

The document summarizes the 1866 Battle of Lissa, the first major battle between ironclad warships on the high seas. The battle was fought between the Italian and Austrian navies in the Adriatic Sea near the island of Lissa (modern-day Vis, Croatia). Despite having a larger fleet that included twelve ironclad ships to Austria's seven, the Italian navy was defeated through the superior tactics of the Austrian commander, Admiral Wilhelm von Tegetthoff. He led an aggressive charge through a gap in the disorganized Italian line, sinking one ship and damaging others in the confused melee. The battle demonstrated that aggressive leadership and a clear tactical plan could overcome a numerical disadvantage with ironclad warships.
This document provides an overview of Etruscan and Roman art from approximately the 8th century BCE to the 1st century CE. It discusses the key developments and influences in Etruscan and Roman architecture, sculpture, and tomb painting. The Etruscans established city planning techniques and temple designs that influenced later Roman architecture. Their tomb paintings depicted vivid scenes of daily life. Etruscan artists also excelled at life-sized terra cotta sculptures. The Romans adopted many elements of Etruscan and Greek culture as they expanded their Republic throughout the Mediterranean world.

The document summarizes key aspects of ships of war in the ancient Mediterranean from the 7th century BCE onwards. It discusses the evolution of the warship from a troop transport to a weapon, using the iconic trireme as a case study. It covers earliest representations of ships in military contexts from Egypt and the Levant. The document also examines the development of the ship ram and how reconstructions of triremes have been informed by archaeological remains, iconography, texts and scholarship.
The document discusses the evolution of carrack ships from the 13th century onward through the fusion of northern European and Mediterranean shipbuilding traditions. It focuses on the development of the carrack in England, including early examples like the Grace Dieu in 1418. The sinking of the Mary Rose in 1545 marked the end of the prominent use of carracks in Britain as the design became seen as outdated and less stable compared to newer ship types.
In the 18th century, transportation was primitive by today's standards. The majority of the time if you wanted to go anywhere you either walked or rode a horse on trails or rough roads. Most folks could not afford carriages or wagons. People traveled from one country to the next by small wooden ships or stagecoach services.

The Impact of Science & Technology on Victorian LondonJIM MUKERJEE
The document discusses the impact of science and technology on Victorian London. It focuses on Joseph Bazalgette's role in improving London's drainage system in the 1850s. Faced with recurring cholera epidemics, Bazalgette implemented an unprecedented sewage system as chief engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works. His intercepting sewer network diverted human waste from the Thames through over 80 miles of large sewers. This revolutionary infrastructure project helped eliminate cholera in London and established Bazalgette as a visionary engineer who saved many lives.

In questo saggio si vuole raccontare la storia della nautica, dalle origini agli inizi del XX secolo, con alcuni cenni sulla nascita dello yacht e dei primi yacht club dal XVI al XIX secolo. Una particolare attenzione è stata dedicata allo sviluppo delle imbarcazioni a vela e dei loro progressi nei secoli XVII-XIX, cercando anche di offrire una panoramica delle imbarcazioni mercantili che sono state gli archetipi di quelle da diporto. Al fine di rendere la trattazione meno tecnica e più illustrativa si è fatto uso di un ricco apparato iconografico utile a far meglio comprendere caratteristiche, particolarità e differenze tra i diversi tipi di imbarcazioni utilizzati per li trasporto delle merci, per la pesca e, infine, per il diporto. Inoltre, si è ritenuto utile sviluppare argomenti minori - come le imbarcazioni da pesca e da lavoro soprattutto olandesi, antenate dello yacht moderno, le tipologie di imbarcazioni nella Russia di Pietro I, l'invenzione della deriva, e altro - con l'intento di raccontare microstorie meno note, e che hanno visto un minor interesse da parte degli studiosi, ma che riteniamo possano essere utili per arricchire la conoscenza del mondo della nautica e dell'arte della navigazione.

Inoltre, si è ritenuto utile sviluppare argomenti minori - come le imbarcazioni da pesca e da lavoro soprattutto olandesi, antenate dello yacht moderno, le tipologie di imbarcazioni nella Russia di Pietro I, l'invenzione della deriva, e altro - con l'intento di raccontare microstorie meno note, e che hanno visto un minor interesse da parte degli studiosi, ma che riteniamo possano essere utili per arricchire la conoscenza del mondo della nautica e dell'arte della navigazione.
The document discusses the relationship between materials and structures in architecture from the 19th to 20th centuries. It begins with a historical overview of how structural engineering and mechanics evolved, including early experiments on material strength and elasticity. New materials like cast iron, steel, and reinforced concrete allowed for new structural possibilities. The document outlines major developments in metal architecture throughout the 19th century, including important bridges and buildings. It discusses how architecture became more experimental through the use of these new materials.
This document discusses Fausto Veranzio and his 1595/1616 treatise Machinae Novae, which anticipated many technological advances that would be developed in the 18th-19th centuries. Some key points:
- Veranzio was a humanist, philosopher and historian from Dalmatia who published an early "visionary" treaty featuring imaginative machine and engineering designs, including suspension bridges.
- His designs were precursors to the refined technologies developed in later centuries using cast iron, iron and steel in architecture.
- The document places Veranzio in the context of the Renaissance period, when many artist-engineers designed imaginative machines and anticipated the mechanical revolution of the Industrial Era
The history of the rainbow is as old as that of science. The ancient Greek philosophers tried to describe the rainbow, and Aristotle was the first to fully include it among the phenomena studied by physicists. Sunlight reflected in the clouds, the incidence of light rays, the reason for the rainbow’s circular shape, the optical effect of an infinite depth are aspects that have for centuries intrigued scholars, who studied the rainbow with a mixture science and alchemy, sense and sensibility. In the 17th century the rainbow became a strictly physical phenomenon, the object of rigorous investigations according to the law of reflection and refraction. Here we survey this often forgotten history, from ancient Greeks to modern scientists, the rainbow’s colours belonging to the world of physics but also—as Thomas Young wrote in 1803—to the world of speculation and imagination.
The Art of War is a subject that has enthusiast for centuries not only the military but also historians, architects, engineers, mathematicians and scholars of other disciplines that have produced a large number of articles, essays and books. Nevertheless, the Art of War has gone through all periods of history, from antiquity to the present day, gradually adapting to the evolution of techniques and weapons technologies, tactics and military strategy, thanks to what we call a particular “passion” of man to prevaricate his fellows. Simultaneously, in Architecture and Urban Planning, the will to fortify cities and towns, castles and fortresses, create defensive and offensive works, stimulated the intelligence of leaders and military men, architects, engineers and mathematicians who have offered their speculative abilities to compose treaties of fortification and military architecture, introducing what will be the “Star Fort” or “tracé à l'italienne” in the Renaissance. The purpose of this note is retraces, in that span of time ranging from the sixteenth century to the eighteenth century and face even briefly the developments, the steps and the interferences between art and architecture, empirical science and applied sciences, in a big tourbillon studies and research which, although carried out in the fields and distant disciplines together, they have a common denominator in the more general science applied to the architecture of the fortifications and defensive systems.
La storia dell’arcobaleno è antica quanto la storia della scienza. Già Alessandro di Afrodisia (III sec. – II sec a.C.) aveva cercato di descrivere l’arcobaleno come fenomeno di luce e colori e a lui si assegna la paternità della scoperta della zona scura tra l’arcobaleno primario e quello secondario. Si deve invece ad Aristotele (384 o 383 – 322 a.C.) una prima completa descrizione del fenomeno ottico: «L’arcobaleno non forma mai un’intera circonferenza e nemmeno un arco maggiore di una semicirconferenza. Al tramonto e all’alba lo spessore dell’arco è stretto e l’arco ha la massima estensione. Quando il sole si alza maggiormente nel cielo lo spessore si allarga e la lunghezza dell’arco si riduce. Dopo l’equinozio d’autunno, nei giorni più corti, può essere visto a qualunque ora del giorno; in estate non può essere visto nelle ore del mezzogiorno. Non ci sono mai più di due arcobaleni nello stesso tempo. Ognuno di essi ha tre colori. I colori sono gli stessi in entrambi e il loro numero è identico, ma nell’arcobaleno esterno sono più deboli e la loro posizione è invertita. Nell’arcobaleno interno la prima e più larga striscia è rossa; in quello esterno la striscia più vicina a quello interno è dello stesso colore ma più stretta. Per le altre strisce vale lo stesso principio. Queste hanno gli unici colori che i pittori non possono fabbricarsi, dato che ci sono colori da essi creati con misture, ma nessuna mistura può dare il rosso, il verde e il blu. Questi sono i colori dell’arcobaleno, per quanto talora tra il rosso e il verde si possa vedere il giallo » [Aristotele, Meteorologia: Libro III]. In questo modo, l’arcobaleno entra a pieno titolo tra i fenomeni oggetto di studio da parte dei fisici anche se, secondo Lee e Fraser: « Despite its many flaws and its appeal to Pythagorean numerology, Aristotle’s qualitative explanation showed an inventiveness and relative consistency that was unmatched for centuries. After Aristotle’s death, much rainbow theory consisted of reaction to his work, although not all of this was uncritical » [Raymond L. Lee, Alistair B. Fraser. The rainbow bridge: rainbows in art, myth, and science. Penn State Press, 2001 p. 109 ]. La descrizione aristotelica dei colori dell’arcobaleno riduce a tre il loro numero e questa interpretazione fu accettata per molto tempo, con sottili differenze numerologiche associando i tre colori alla Trinità o altrimenti quattro colori associati ai quattro elementi della tradizione empedoclea. La riflessione della luce del sole tra le nuvole, lo studio dell’angolo di incidenza dei raggi luminosi, la spiegazione della forma circolare dell’arcobaleno, l’effetto ottico di profondità infinita rispetto all’origine del fenomeno luminoso sono tutte questioni che hanno incuriosito per secoli studiosi di differenti discipline.
Nombres et grandeurs, arithmétique et géométrie ont toujours accompagné les développements de la Mécanique appliquée aux constructions. Les études poursuivies par Aristote et Stevin, par Varignon et Galilée, par Huygens et Euler, et encore celles de Jacques Bernoulli et de Leibniz, jusqu’à Lagrange et à Coulomb, ont permis la rencontre de l’Architecture et de la Géométrie, des Mathématiques et de la Mécanique, en déterminant, ainsi un véritable entrelacement de principes et de règles, de nombres et de grandeurs. À partir des fondements de la Mécanique médiévale, et parallèlement aux ‘préceptes’ de l’Art et de la Science du Bâtir, un fil conducteur s’est distingué, qui a su mener, pas à pas, à la découverte des principes de la Mécanique et, par la suite, à la formulation des bases de la Science des Constructions. Un parcours linguistique a traversé la théorie des proportions et la géométrie euclidienne, le calcul des isopérimètres et le calcul différentiel et intégral, en révolutionnant en peu de peu de temps, un siècle et demi à peu-près, les méthodes d’interprétation des principes statiques et mécaniques (en 1638 Galilée publie ses Discorsi e dimostrazioni matematiche intorno a due nuove scienze, en 1744 Euler publie son traité Methodus inveniendi lineas curvas…, en 1773 Coulomb écrit son Essai sur une application des Règles de Maximis & Minimis à quelques Problèmes de Statique, relatifs à l’Architecture) Il ne s’agit plus là de principes qui ne sont tirés que de l’interprétation du comportement mécanique de machines simples et, par l’emploi des mathématiques élémentaires, ayant l’objectif de comprendre le comportement structural des constructions, mais de l’emploi du calcul mathématique dans le but de décrire les phénomènes et d’introduire des instruments d’analyse, généralement valables, à même de représenter les fondements mécaniques de la science du bâtir. Un parcours nettement plus « rationnel » et plus « scientifique », qui a dépassé le « savoir de l’ancien constructeur » qui, n’utilisant que l’arithmétique, l’algèbre élémentaire et la géométrie euclidienne, avait été, jusqu’à ce moment là, le guide et l’âme, la raison et la logique nécessaires pour « faire » de l’architecture, dans le but d’utiliser les principes mécaniques afin de gagner cette « immense » lutte entre la pesanteur et la résistance qui constitue à elle seule l’intérêt de la belle architecture [Schopenhauer]. Pouvoir reparcourir le déroulement de cet écheveau si emmêlé, ne peut donc que représenter un encouragement nécessaire et remarquable permettant la redécouverte des connexions, des interférences et des contrastes que les mathématiques ont su mettre en relief entre géométrie et construction, entre arithmétique et résistance des matériaux, entre mécanique et architecture, en apportant, en même temps, une petite contribution au débat concernant le rôle de la pensée mathématique dans les développements de la Mécanique appliquée aux constructions et de l’Architecture.
La lettura verte su una tematica che si rivela fondamentale per tutti i campi dell’Ingegneria, la Resistenza dei solidi e, più in generale la Meccanica dell’Ingegneria nelle ricerche dal XVII al XVIII secolo, un periodo che è da considerare tra i più fervidi e ricchi di risultati, fondante; l’argomento è studiato e visto però non solo nella sostanza applicativa così come si è sedimentato nelle conoscenze attuali che fanno parte del bagaglio culturale e scientifico degli Ingegneri e degli Architetti ma soprattutto, come si è detto, nell’analisi dei meccanismi, delle incentivazioni, degli intenti ora ideali o speculativi, ora pratici, che hanno determinato le linee di sviluppo dell’ingegneria, della ricerca, della formazione degli ingegneri, al fine di ricostituire la continuità degli sviluppi disciplinari soprattutto per un segmento significativo della storia dell’ingegneria. È da rilevare, a questo proposito, che l'Autore pone opportunamente in evidenza, tra l’altro, quanto complesse e profonde siano le basi teoriche e le stesse motivazioni umane oltre che applicative sulle quali si fonda l’ingegneria e quanto estese siano le specializzazioni che questa comprende sino a raggiungere portata per molti versi globalizzante. La lezione è quindi, in sostanza, un vero trattato di fondamenti della “scienza dell’ingegnere”, perché sono presi in considerazione gli aspetti filosofici, matematici, geometrici, fisici, teorici e applicativi e perfino, per quanto concerne le relazioni tra i vari ricercatori, sociali e umani, restituendo l’attività dell’ingegnere al più vasto ambito di attento studioso della natura, interprete delle leggi naturali secondo le esigenze ideali, filosofiche e civili oltre che tecniche e scientifiche, della società. Le sue argomentazioni inducono la fondata convinzione che le ricerche sui temi della costruzione, cioè di un settore modesto, neppure prioritario o centrale, basato sull’empirismo, abbiano assunto carattere paradigmatico ed anzi che esse si siano incentrate sulla conoscenza della realtà; ciò che dava il senso, dell’ingegneria del mondo esperibile, nella più vasta accezione di tale espressione, e in fondo, modificabile oltre che acquisibile con l’intelletto, assegnando all’Ingegnere e all’Architetto il compito di ideatore e costruttore del modello della natura. La conoscenza della storia dell’Ingegneria è dunque uno dei fondamenti del progresso scientifico e tecnologico.
La cupola di S. Gaudenzio a Novara, opera di Alessandro Antonelli, è la più completa sintesi architettonica dei profondi rapporti che intercorrono tra meccanica e geometria, tra materia e costruzione, tra scienza e tecnica, un compendio costruito di scienza e arte del costruire. Le complesse interrelazioni tra forma e struttura, tra immagine dell’architettura e costruzione materica, in un complesso giuoco di forme geometriche ed elementi strutturali sono perfettamente evidenti nella complessa costruzione del sistema architettonico-strutturale che costituisce l’ossatura muraria e portante della cupola antonelliana.
L'insegnamento che la Storia della Scienza e della Tecnica del costruire ha direttamente o indirettamente dispensato nei secoli, e dispensa tutt'oggi attraverso il considerevole patrimonio architettonico tramandatoci, ha sempre più messo in evidenza la sua caratteristica di strumento indispensabile per operare scelte consapevoli negli interventi di consolidamento statico degli edifici storici. La riscoperta degli antichi magisteri, fondati sovente più sull'esperienza e sulla sperimentazione diretta del costruire che sulla conoscenza scientifica e tecnica di particolari metodi di analisi e strumenti di calcolo, diventa dunque indispensabile quando ci troviamo di fronte a quel complesso e variegato insieme d'interventi che riguardano il restauro del patrimonio architettonico e monumentale.
Hydraulics, notwithstanding its ancient origins, is very young as a discipline. It has been founding and consolidating its scientific bases onIy for the last three centuries as pure science, like mechanics, and its application to engineering. The «discovery» of basic principles, the fundamentals of hydraulic science, required many efforts throughout the 17th and 18th century.
The aim of this paper is to compare the development of theoretical research on the collapse analysis of arches and vaults, with some significant constructions of arch bridges, in French and Italy during the XVIIIth and XIXth centuries. On this subject, the authors would develop a brief outline of most important researches about mechanical aspects of the arch bridge theory in the same centuries. Then it will be developed some considerations on the construction, behaviour and assessment of a little number of significant arch bridges, to verify the corresponding between construction, theoretical and mechanical approach, collapse mode and conservation approach of these architectures.
Lagrange écrit dans l’Avertissement de sa Méchanique Analytique (Paris, 1788): «On a déjà plusieurs Traités de Méchanique, mais le plan de celui-ci est entièrement neuf. Je me suis proposé de réduire la théorie de cette science et l’art de résoudre les problèmes qui s’y rapportent, à des formules générales, dont le simple développement donne toutes les équations nécessaires pour la solution de chaque problème». Cette «nouvelle vision du monde », qui sera celle du XVIIe siècle et encore plus celle du siècle suivant et qui tente d’établir un dialogue entre la Méchanique physique proposée par S.D. Poisson et la Mécanique analytique de Lagrange (reprise au XIXe siècle en termes plus précis par le courant des « axiomaticiens »), constitue un vaste et important projet scientifique qui dépasse les principes généraux de la Mécanique pour investir des lieux de recherche et des disciplines plus spécialisées et plus particulières comme, par exemple, la balistique et l’hydraulique.
Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola (1507–1573), pittore di formazione
e architetto di «mestiere», ha lasciato —oltre
ad un cospicuo patrimonio architettonico interprete
del maturo linguaggio Rinascimentale, ricco di una
precisa grammatica e una rigorosa sintassi costruttiva e
formale— un’opera di gran pregio anche per la
«scienza meccanica». Come il linguaggio vitruviano
della firmitas, più o meno ricco e raffinato, riprende i
temi della meccanica antica —pre-galileiana, aristotelica
e archimedea—, dove i princìpi elementari e le
macchine semplici sono gli strumenti indispensabili
per la comprensione del vasto mondo della meccanica
applicata alle costruzioni, così il linguaggio architettonico
di Vignola si spoglia di quell’apparato formale
che contraddistingue la trattatistica Rinascimentale,
per rendere parimenti «puri» e scevri da elementi
complessi i canoni e le regole del buon costruire.
«I vascelli cartaginesi erano costruiti in modo da potersi muovere in tutti i sensi con molta leggerezza; i loro rematori erano esperti. Quando il nemico avanzava per inseguirli loro si giravano, gli volteggiavano attorno o gli piombavano sul fianco e lo urtavano, mentre il vascello romano poteva appena virare nuovamente per la sua pesantezza e la scarsa esperienza dei rematori» [Polibio, 206 - 124 a.C.].
L’immagine della femme fatale è l'immagine di una donna particolare forse più eterea che reale, concentrato di bellezza, sensualità, voluttà, peccato, lussuria, ma sempre e soltanto ‘donna’. Per descrivere la femme fatale abbiamo scelto la strada principale delle immagini che come un fiume raccoglie rivoli di pensieri e parole sull’universo femminile; perché se la donna ideale si sogna, si immagina in un mondo irreale e irraggiungibile, la donna è invece reale, presente, viva nella nostra vita così come lo è stato nella vita degli artisti che l’hanno voluta rappresentare attraverso le diverse forme d’arte che nei secoli sono state utilizzate per presentare i propri pensieri, i propri sogni, i propri desideri, la propria volontà di trasmettere ai posteri un pensiero, un immagine, un sogno che è quello della donna: la femme fatale.

La costruzione navale è un’arte antica che quasi sicuramente risale alle origini dell’uomo. Nei secoli si è sviluppata fino a diventare scienza e ha consentito all’uomo di solcare i mari, esplorare nuove terre, scoprire nuovi continenti e mettere a contatto popolazioni diverse e molto distanti tra loro. Ma la scienza navale, nel senso moderno del termine, è una disciplina nuova che trae le sue origini dai trattati di costruzione navale, prima manoscritti, e poi a stampa che a partire dal XVI secolo sono sono stati resi pubblici e a disposizione degli studiosi, degli architetti e degli ingegneri navali. In questo volume vogliamo fornire al lettore una raccolta bibliografica sull'arte e l'architettura navale, sulla costruzione e sulla scienza navale, altrimenti uno strumento che si auspica utile per successive ricerche.

La storia della scienza è disciplina complessa che coinvolge numerosi saperi. Come in una trama non preordinata, ma casuale, questi saperi si intersecano e si intrecciano; si assiste così ad un meraviglioso affresco pittorico dove si sviluppano tanti temi che si sovrappongono tra loro come una composizione musicale e dove non esiste un’unica armonia di fondo se non quella della Natura. In questo senso quello che vogliamo presentare al lettore benevolo non è una storia ordinata di personaggi e avvenimenti, teorie ed esperienze di una disciplina appartenente al vaso mondo delle scienze, ma costruire un percorso che attraversa distinti e diversi campi disciplinari. Il nostro intento è quello di stimolare la curiosità di chi legge e aiutarlo a comprendere la complessità di ciò che ci circonda in molti dei suoi aspetti più esteriori e visibili.

China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
