This book illustrates the main modern mineralogical analytical procedures that can be applied for forensic purposes on various typologies of materials and substances and has both theoretical and practical approach. Moreover, it focuses on all those challenges that can arise with forensic analysis, such as the choice of the most proper mineralogical techniques as a function of the material and its quantity, destructive and non-destructive analyses, sampling procedures, mineralogical analysis of micro-traces, correct preparation of the samples, correct calibration and analytical conditions of the laboratory instrumentation. Numerous case studies on criminal offenses against persons, environment and cultural heritage are illustrated.
The conservation of historic monuments, sites and structures constitutes an inter-professional discipline co-ordinating a range of aesthetic historic, scientific and technical methods. Conservation is a rapidly developing field, which, by its true nature, is a multidisciplinary activity with experts respecting one another's contributions and combining to form an effective team. Conservation is an artistic activity aided by scientific and historical knowledge.Main topics at this Congress included: - the most appropriate methodology for the assessment of the degree of weathering of stone - development of new methods and instruments for the diagnosis of the state of conservation, for the study of alteration mechanisms and for conservation treatments. - the definition of Technical European Standard Methods for the evaluation of conservation treatments of artistic and historic stone objects and monuments.
Advanced Porous Biomaterials for Drug Delivery Applications probes cutting-edge progress in the application of advanced porous biomaterials in drug delivery fields. These biomaterials offer promise in improving upon the design, cost, and creation of potent novel drug delivery systems. The book focuses on two categories: nature engineered and synthetic advanced porous biomaterials, with a wide range of low-cost porous biomaterial-based systems that have been used for the delivery of diverse drugs through in vitro/in vivo approaches. Details how advanced porous biomaterial-assisted systems improve essential properties in drug delivery applications Explains how advanced porous biomaterials syst...
Despite their fame and reputation, dinosaurs represent only half the story of the Mesozoic Era. In Beast Companions: The Unsung Animals of the Dinosaurs' World, paleontologist John Foster explores the often-overlooked animals that coexisted with them. These ancient species, often equally remarkable as their dinosaur neighbors, can provide valuable insights into the biotic history of our planet. In some cases, these animals reveal just as much, if not more, about the extinct ecosystems of the time as the dinosaurs themselves. By drawing on a wealth of current and past discoveries, Foster embarks on a sweeping journey across 164 million years to visit the beast companions of the dinosaurs. Along the way, he examines fish, insects, the first frogs and salamanders, turtles, snakes and lizards, marine reptiles, crocodiles, pterosaurs, birds, mammals, and other animals of the Mesozoic Era. Beast Companions is a groundbreaking exploration of the story of these contemporaries of the dinosaurs that set the modern world in motion more than 200 million years ago
This book gathers selected high-quality research papers presented at the Seventh International Congress on Information and Communication Technology, held at Brunel University, London, on February 21–24, 2022. It discusses emerging topics pertaining to information and communication technology (ICT) for managerial applications, e-governance, e-agriculture, e-education and computing technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) and e-mining. Written by respected experts and researchers working on ICT, the book offers a valuable asset for young researchers involved in advanced studies. The work is presented in four volumes.
What Is Translucent Concrete Translucent concrete is a concrete based building material with light-transmissive properties due to embedded light optical elements — usually optical fibers. Light is conducted through the stone from one end to the other. Therefore, the fibers have to go through the whole object. This results in a certain light pattern on the other surface, depending on the fiber structure. Shadows cast onto one side appear as silhouettes through the material. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Translucent concrete Chapter 2: Bottle wall Chapter 3: Glass brick Chapter 4: LiTraCon Chapter 5: Daylighting Chapter 6: Concrete ...
Yarı Saydam Beton Nedir? Yarı saydam beton, gömülü hafif optik elemanlar sayesinde ışığı iletme özelliklerine sahip, beton esaslı bir yapı malzemesidir — genellikle optik fiberler. Işık, taşın bir ucundan diğer ucuna iletilir. Bu nedenle, liflerin tüm nesneden geçmesi gerekir. Bu, lif yapısına bağlı olarak diğer yüzeyde belirli bir ışık deseni ile sonuçlanır. Bir tarafa dökülen gölgeler, malzeme boyunca silüetler olarak görünür. Nasıl Yararlanacaksınız (I) Aşağıdaki konularla ilgili bilgiler ve doğrulamalar: 1. Bölüm: Yarı saydam beton Bölüm 2: Şişe duvarı 3. Bölüm: Cam tuğla Bölüm 4: LiTraCon 5. Bölüm: Günışığında Aydınlat...
One marker of the majesty of ancient Rome is its surviving architectural legacy, the stunning remains of which are scattered throughout the circum-Mediterranean landscape. Surprisingly, one truly remarkable aspect of this heritage remains relatively unknown. There exists beneath the waters of the Mediterranean the physical remnants of a vast maritime infrastructure that sustained and connected the western world’s first global empire and economy. The key to this incredible accomplishment and to the survival of structures in the hostile environment of the sea for two thousand years was maritime concrete, a building material invented and then employed by Roman builders on a grand scale to con...
Il Real Museo Mineralogico dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II può essere un MAB in nuce, un luogo in cui coesistono archivio, biblioteca e museo; per decenni è stato condotto da un illustre mineralogista, il professore Arcangelo Scacchi, geologo e vulcanologo, che assurse anche alla carica di Rettore dell’Università per più mandati. Attraverso i documenti redatti dal direttore e alla corrispondenza intrattenuta con esponenti del mondo accademico e istituzionale e conservati con cura è possibile ricostruire non solo la storia più che bicentenaria del museo, ma anche il suo ricco patrimonio bibliografico. Soprattutto di questo, dell’intreccio di acquisti di minerali...
