Códices Madrid I by Leonardo da Vinci PDF
Описание: В 1966 году в Национальной библиотеке в Мадриде были обнаружены два манускрипта, написанные Леонардо. Когда-то они не были учтены при каталогизации, и об их существовании не было известно. Этим двум манускриптам дали условные названия «Мадридский кодекс I» и «Мадридский кодекс II».
«Мадридский кодекс I» состоит из 192 листов 1490—1499 годов написания, содержащих изображения различных механизмов и изложения теории механики. Хотя работа и посвящена механике, в ней есть заметки по астрономии и по оптике.
«Мадридский кодекс II» был создан Леонардо в 1503—1505 гг. и состоит из 158 листов. Он собрал исследования в области геометрии, такие, например, как «квадратуры круга». Кроме этого, в нём содержатся работы по перспективе и оптике. В книге можно найти эскизы морских и топографических карт, рассматриваются проблемы военной техники и архитектуры. Самое интересное в этом кодексе — неосуществлённый проект изменения русла реки Арно, эскизы фрески «Битва при Ангиари» и конного памятника Франческо Сфорца.

Higher depression scores were associated with greater perceptions of cognitive deficits and lack of correlation was noted between objective measures and patients’ self-report. The authors suggested that future studies should include assessments at shorter time intervals, since participants’ perceptions of cognitive changes were shown to precede changes in objective measures. Due to the time lapse between Time 2 and Time 3, the researchers were unable to pinpoint the precise pattern of objective cognitive decline.
The condition has been termed chemo fog, chemo brain, or some similar term to reflect the fact that the symptoms are usually difficult to describe and involve domains of cognition such as attention, concentration, memory, speed of information processing, multitasking, or ability to organize information. The deficits are reported to persist. The magnitude of the negative impact on quality of life depends, as does the condition itself, on multiple and varied factors. This chapter relates the experience of one patient.
