The Alchemy of Paint is a critique of the modern world, which Spike Bucklow sees as the product of seventeenth-century ideas about science. In modern times, we have divorced color from its origins, using it for commercial advantage. Spike Bucklow shows us how in medieval times, color had mystical significance far beyond the enjoyment of shade and hue.
Each chapter demonstrates the mindset of medieval Europe and is devoted to just one color, acknowledging its connections with life in the pre-modern world. Colors examined and explained in detail include a midnight blue called ultramarine, an opaque red called vermilion, a multitude of colors made from metals, a transparent red called dragonsblood, and, finally, gold.
Today, "scarlet" describes a color, but it was originally a type of cloth. Henry VI's wardrobe accounts from 1438 to 1489 show that his cheapest scarlet was 14.2s.6d. and that scarlets could fetch up to twice that price. In the fifteenth century, a mid-priced scarlet cost more than two thousand kilos of cheese or one thousand liters of wine. This expense accounts for the custom of giving important visitors the "red carpet treatment."
The book looks at how color was "read" in the Middle Ages and returns to materials to look at the hidden meaning of the artists' version of the philosopher's stone. The penultimate chapter considers why everyone has always loved gold.
Spike Bucklow is a conservation scientist working with oil paintings at the Hamilton Kerr Institute in Cambridge.

Автор: Victoria C. Carlsen Название: Boolean Logic, Expressions and Theories: An Overview ISBN: 1536169854 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781536169850 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 77080.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The Boolean function network is a systematical approach proposed for the inference of gene regulatory networks and related Boolean functions. This procedure utilizes two steps to integrate the hidden Markov model, likelihood ratio test and Boolean functions for discovering direct pairwise relations between genes from time-course transcriptome data. In this compilation, the authors justify the need for this novel approach and describe the inference procedure. Next, an extended Boolean logic is introduced, denoted by LLT, called "star-finite" or "hyperfinite" logic. LLT is closely related to infinitary logics, which have been investigated extensively. Lastly, generalized Boolean functions are introduced, and an overview with regard to constructions of Golay complementary sequences from generalized Boolean functions is given.

Описание: Magnus Carlsen is arguably the strongest player of all time. His dominance is such that every loss comes as a shock. They remind us that even he has his weak moments. In fact, identifying the root causes of his losses holds valuable lessons for all players.Cyrus Lakdawala's search starts with a series of Magnus wins and draws to give the reader a feel for how incredibly difficult it is to beat him. The World Champion's arsenal is awesome: a superlative ability to concentrate and calculate, near-perfect intuition, probably the best endgame technique ever, a wide and creative opening repertoire, a willingness to unbalance the position almost anytime, and last but not least: his unparalleled will to win.How to Beat Magnus Carlsen has a thematic structure, which, together with Lakdawala's uniquely accessible style, makes its lessons easy to digest. Sometimes even Magnus gets outplayed, sometimes he over-presses and goes over the cliff's edge, and sometimes he fails to find the correct plan. And yes, even Magnus Carlsen commits straightforward blunders. Lakdawala explains the how and the why.This fascinating collection includes the game that put an end to the longest non-losing streak in classical games in chess history. It lasted more than two years and 125(!) games, and ended when Jan-Krzysztof Duda beat Magnus Carlsen at the Altibox tournament in Stavanger on October 10, 2020. It's wonderful to have a World Champion who is not just incredibly strong but who is also happy to experiment and take risks. That's what makes Magnus Carlsen such a fascinating chess player. And that's why he is the hero of this book. There is no doubt that Carlsen has examined all his losses under a microscope. If he benefits from this process, then so will we.
