Homogeneous Symplectic Manifolds of the Galilei Group
… a transitive, 2-form preserving action of the Galilei group G. Using the moment map and a theorem of Kirillov-Kostant-Souriau, we reduce the problem to that of classifying the coadjoint orbits of a central extension of G discovered by Bargmann. We then develop a systematic inductive technique …

Speaking in Tones: Plainchant, Monody, and the Evocation of Antiquity in Early Modern Italy
… and early opera, both Girolamo Mei and Vincenzo Galilei posited plainchant as a vestige of ancient music. In doing so, they imagined ecclesiastical recitation as a bridge between ancient music and modern attempts to revive the power of ancient singing. This was by virtue of chant’s apparently …

On the relevance of adhesion : applications to Saturn's rings
Since their discovery in 1610 by Galileo Galilei, Saturn's rings continue to fascinate both experts and amateurs. Countless numbers of icy grains in almost Keplerian orbits reveal a wealth of structures such as ringlets, voids and gaps, wakes and waves, and many more. Grains are found to increase …

Reading hidden messages through deciphered manual alphabets on classic artwork
… in artwork long before the plight of Galileo Galilei and his discoveries. (2) Among Jewish Kabbalists, a well-known design was obscured in The Arnolfini Wedding painting for fear it would be lost due to persecution. (3) Michaelangelo Buonarrotte indicated several meanings through the hands of …

Multiphase Flow Dynamics in Confined Domains—A DNS Study of Bubbly, Thermal and Riblet-Induced Turbulence
… interactions. By systematically varying the Galilei (390–1100) and Eötvös (0.85–8.5) numbers at a constant void fraction of 2.7\%, the study isolates the effects of inertia and deformability on pseudo-turbulence. The results demonstrate that bubble deformability critically dictates spatial …

Mathematical methods for radio pulsar searching and applications
… of the sci- entific method, with Galileo Galilei being one of its greatest representatives. Galileo’s empirical observations and innovative experiments laid the groundwork for modern physics. In particular, his use of the telescope to study celestial bodies, and his sub- sequent support …

What can we learn from climate data? : Methods for fluctuation, time/scale and phase analysis
Since Galileo Galilei invented the first thermometer, researchers have tried to understand the complex dynamics of ocean and atmosphere by means of scientific methods. They observe nature and formulate theories about the climate system. Since some decades powerful computers are capable to simulate …

Patronage: The Renaissance and Today
<p>Patronage, as it will be discussed in this context, is the "money and support...given to an artist, organization, etc." (Merriam-Webster.com). The word itself comes from "patronus" in the Latin language, meaning "defender, protector...advocate" (Harper, Online Etymology). The concept of …
