The Failure of Florentine Institutions --Conclusion: Machiavelli's Republican Realism --Notes --References --Acknowledgments --IndexLike many inhabitants of booming metropolises, Machiavelli alternated between love and hate for his native city. He often wrote scathing remarks about Florentine political myopia, corruption, and servitude, but also wrote about Florence with pride, patriotism, and confident hope of better times. Despite the alternating tones of sarcasm and despair he used to describe Florentine affairs, Machiavelli provided a stubbornly persistent sense that his city had all the materials and potential necessary for a wholesale, triumphant, and epochal political renewal. As he memorably put it, Florence was "truly a great and wretched city." Mark Jurdjevic focuses on the Florentine dimension of Machiavelli's political thought, revealing new aspects of his republican convictions. Through The Prince, Discourses, correspondence, and, most substantially, Florentine Histories, Jurdjevic examines Machiavelli's political career and relationships to the republic and the Medici. He shows that significant and as yet unrecognized aspects of Machiavelli's political thought were distinctly Florentine in inspiration, content, and purpose. From a new perspective and armed with new arguments, A Great and Wretched City reengages the venerable debate about Machiavelli's relationship to Renaissance republicanism. Dispelling the myth that Florentine politics offered Machiavelli only negative lessons, Jurdjevic argues that his contempt for the city's shortcomings was a direct function of his considerable estimation of its unrealized political potential.I Tatti studies in Italian Renaissance historyPromise and failure in Machiavelli's Florentine political thoughtRepublicanismItalyFlorenceHistoryFlorence (Italy)Politics and government1421-1737RepublicanismHistory.945/.506Jurdjevic Mark1006607MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811308403321A great and wretched city4086403UNINA04234nam 2200517 a 450 991096667170332120241120232819.09781118652459111865245297811186524661118652460(CKB)24989725400041(MiAaPQ)EBC1204061(MiAaPQ)EBC7103921(Au-PeEL)EBL1204061(CaPaEBR)ebr10713647(OCoLC)826324808(PPN)17466544X(Perlego)1003043(EXLCZ)992498972540004120130130d2013 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMedical instrument design and development from requirements to market placements : includes a case study in ECG implementation /Claudio Becchetti, Alessandro NeriChichester, West Sussex John Wiley & Sons2013xxii, 575 p. ill. (some col.)Includes bibliographical references and index.System engineering -- Concepts and requirements -- Biomedical engineering design -- Signal processing and estimation -- Applied electronics -- Medical software -- C-health -- Certification process.This book explains all of the stages involved in developing medical devices; from concept to medical approval including system engineering, bioinstrumentation design, signal processing, electronics, software and ICT with Cloud and e-Health development. Medical Instrument Design and Development offers a comprehensive theoretical background with extensive use of diagrams, graphics and tables (around 400 throughout the book). The book explains how the theory is translated into industrial medical products using a market-sold Electrocardiograph disclosed in its design by the Gamma Cardio Soft manufacturer. The sequence of the chapters reflects the product development lifecycle. Each chapter is focused on a specific University course and is divided into two sections: theory and implementation. The theory sections explain the main concepts and principles which remain valid across technological evolutions of medical instrumentation. The Implementation sections show how the theory is translated into a medical product. The Electrocardiograph (ECG or EKG) is used as an example as it is a suitable device to explore to fully understand medical instrumentation since it is sufficiently simple but encompasses all the main areas involved in developing medical electronic equipment. Key Features: * Introduces a system-level approach to product design * Covers topics such as bioinstrumentation, signal processing, information theory, electronics, software, firmware, telemedicine, e-Health and medical device certification * Explains how to use theory to implement a market product (using ECG as an example) * Examines the design and applications of main medical instruments * Details the additional know-how required for product implementation: business context, system design, project management, intellectual property rights, product life cycle, etc. * Includes an accompanying website with the design of the certified ECG product ( www.gammacardiosoft.it/book ) * Discloses the details of a marketed ECG Product (from Gamma Cardio Soft) compliant with the ANSI standard AAMI EC 11 under open licenses (GNU GPL, Creative Common) This book is written for biomedical engineering courses (upper-level undergraduate and graduate students) and for engineers interested in medical instrumentation/device design with a comprehensive and interdisciplinary system perspective.
