This contribution examines Palladio's relation to Vitruvius with regard to the canonical orders: the Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Palladio became acquainted with Vitruvius Through his first mentor, Gian Giorgio Trissino, who had founded an academy. in the first book of I quattro libri dell'architettura Palladio repeatedly refers to Vitruvius. However, like most Renaissance architects, Palladio also studied the existing remains of Roman architecture. For him, archaeological evidence had more weight than the written words of Vitruvius. Though Palladio regarded Vitruvius as his "master and guide", he would deviate from Vitruvius' rules when he found the remains of Roman architecture more satisfactory. For Palladio, Vitruvius' rules were not unalterable, they were guidelines which the architect could modify.

Tide prediction machines, prosopography and digital humanities are the three main axes upon which my Master’s degree research project is constructed. This poster explains what these three most important components of my project are and how they link together, with a focus on the digital humanities tools used. I was awarded a travel scholarship to present this poster at the DARIAH Annual Event 2019 in Warsaw on 16 May 2019 as I won DARIAH's Digital Humanities tools and methods blog competition 2019., {"references":["Cartwright, David.

Energy loss and Auger spectra of Pd deposited onto Si(111) at increasing coverages are presented, together with those of pure Pd and of bulk Pd 2 Si obtained in situ. The loss evolution with coverage is interpreted with the aid of a simple model calculation of the surface loss function of an ideal Si-Pd system. The results indicate that for coverages between 1 and 7 A an intermixed phase forms at the interface, while for higher coverages pure Pd grows on the surface. In the first stage some losses seem to shift in energy with coverage due to interface mode coupling.
