The Paganini Project with Peter Sheppard Skærved
Polymathic and ever-curious British violinist Peter Sheppard Skærved delves into the Library's fascinating Niccolò Paganini collection. Examining posters, playbills, letters, manuscripts and memorabilia collected by Paganini himself, he reveals how the virtuoso created his own mystique as a violinist and musical innovator. From his "Secret Red Book" containing recipes, prescriptions, tour dates, a laundry list and financial notes, to clues about the virtuoso's alleged use of a steel bow, our P

2.4 What does relationship mean in systematics? E. Mayr Dr. Patterson looks at the second of his three systematists, Ernst Mayr. Mayr’s answer to the meaning of ‘relationship’ in systematics comes from the point of view o 2.2 Darwin, Linnaeus and Simpson In the first clip, Dr. Colin Patterson introduces and explains Darwin’s ‘tree of life’, image, shown below (Figure 3). This was the only image included in his book, 2.1 Introduction The late Dr. Colin Patterson was a palaeontologist at the Natural History Museum, and an authority on systematic methods. He played a prominent role in promoting cladistics, the method now most widely employed for phylogenetic analysis. He introduces the sequence of audio clips by drawing attention to the connection perceived by Darwin beteen the systematic grouping of species into higher taxa and the closeness of their evolutionary relationships (‘propinquity of descent’). This lea 1.5 Clades and mammals Are the mammals a clade? Yes, despite Simpson's earlier reservations about their possible polyphyletic origins, morphological and molecular data now st 1.3 Relationships between species Using the idea of blood relationships in people as an analogy, can you think of two distinct types of relationship between species? One is the relation Introduction This unit is from our archive. It is an adapted extract from the Science (S365) module that is no longer in presentation. If you wish to study formally at The Open University, you may wish to explore the courses we offer in this Curriculum Area This unit is concerned with macroevo 4.2 Intermediate forms In essence, the argument about intermediate forms runs as follows. If whales evolved from a terrestrial ancestor through the accumulation of small differences over time, we should expect to find the fossils of a number of ‘missing links’, i.e. creatures with a mixture of terrestrial and aquatic characteristics. In fact, we might expect to find a succession of such animals, each a little bit more whale-like and a little bit less well adapted to life on land than its predecessor. To m 2.3 Elements on parade: an audiovisual interlude Here you have the opportunity of viewing seven video sequences which show both reactions and properties of some chemical elements. The seven sequences provide examples of the way in which Periodic Tables such as Figures 17 or Author(s): 4.1 Overview One of the most surprising aspects of quantum physics is the ability of particles to pass through regions that they are classically forbidden from entering. This is the phenomenon of quantum-mechanical tunnelling that was mentioned in Session 1. In Session 4 we first demonstrate the phenomenon of tunnelling with the ai Mathematical language Modelling heat transfer The main teaching text of this unit is provided in the workbook below.
