Conclusion.This book examines the transmission processes of the Aristotelian Mechanics. It does so to enable readers to appreciate the value of the treatise based on solid knowledge of the principles of the text. In addition, the book’s critical examination helps clear up many of the current misunderstandings about the transmission of the text and the diagrams. The first part of the book sets out the Greek manuscript tradition of the Mechanics, resulting in a newly established stemma codicum that illustrates the affiliations of the manuscripts. This research has led to new insights into the transmission of the treatise, most importantly, it also demonstrates an urgent need for a new text. A first critical edition of the diagrams contained in the Greek manuscripts of the treatise is also presented. These diagrams are not only significant for a reconstruction of the text but can also be considered as a commentary on the text. Diagrams are thus revealed to be a powerful tool in studying processes of the transfer and transformation of knowledge. This becomes especially relevant when the manuscript diagrams are compared with those in the printed editions and in commentaries from the early modern period. The final part of the book shows that these early modern diagrams and images reflect the altered scope of the mechanical discipline in the sixteenth century.Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science,0068-0346 ;316PhilologyHistoryClassical Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/728000Philologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N33000History of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000Philology.History.Classical Studies.Philology.History of Science.900van Leeuwen Joyceauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut909718MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254788103321The Aristotelian Mechanics2035815UNINA01542nam 2200361z- 450 9910346902203321202102111000024003(CKB)4920000000101500(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/55391(oapen)doab55391(EXLCZ)99492000000010150020202102d2011 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierOrganic traffic controlKIT Scientific Publishing20111 online resource (XV, 279 p. p.)3-86644-725-6 Modern cities cannot be imagined without traffic lights controlling the road network. To handle the network's changing demands efficiently, the signal plan specification needs to be shifted from the design time to the run-time of a signal system. The generic observer/controller architecture proposed for Organic Computing facilitates this shift. A two-levelled learning mechanism optimises signal plans on-line while a distributed coordination mechanism establishes green waves in the road network.coordinationgeneric observer/controller architectureorganic computingtraffic signal controltwo-levelled learningProthmann Holgerauth1313383BOOK9910346902203321Organic traffic control3031362UNINA
