Investigating the effect of nanolime treatment on the drying kinetics of Clipsham limestoneSpringer Science and Business Media LLC -
Dáire E. Browne, R. Peverall, Grant A. D. Ritchie, Heather Viles
AbstractClimate change poses an ever-increasing risk to our stone built heritage. Among conservation actions, the use of consolidant products is considered a possible response to this challenge, and the adoption of nanolimes has been widely studied showing promising results. However, while the effectiveness and method of application has been assessed, few studies h...... hiện toàn bộ
Infrared spectroscopy reveals the reactivity of fatty acids on copper surfaces and its implications for cultural heritage objectsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 1-25 - 2023
Stamatis C. Boyatzis, Leonidas Fragkos-Livanios, Maria Giannoulaki, Anna Filopoulou
The reactivities of various fatty monoacids and diacids on copper metal-containing surfaces were investigated through reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy. The formation of copper carboxylates is detected on pure copper surfaces, while copper and zinc carboxylates are simultaneously formed on brass surfaces. Following the decrease of acid carbonyl and the formation of carboxylate infrared b...... hiện toàn bộ
Van Gogh’s Irises and Roses: the contribution of chemical analyses and imaging to the assessment of color changes in the red lake pigmentsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-11 - 2017

Vincent van Gogh’s still lifes Irises and Roses were investigated to shed light onto the degree to which the paintings had changed, both individually and in relation to each other since they were painted, particularly in regard to the fading of the red lakes. Non-invasive techniques, including macroscopic X-ray fluorescence mapping, reflectance imaging spectroscopy, and X-radiography, were combine...... hiện toàn bộ
Strategies for the deployment of microclimate sensors in spaces housing collectionsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 1-17 - 2022

The study of the microclimate is pivotal for the protection and conservation of cultural heritage. This paper describes specific procedures aimed at the deployment of microclimate sensors in spaces housing collections (e.g., museums) under different scenarios. The decision making involves a multidisciplinary discussion among museum manager, conservator and conservation scientist and implies five s...... hiện toàn bộ
The value revitalization model of Qajar religious schools in TehranSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2022
Mohammad Sadegh Taher Tolou Del, Bahram Saleh Sedghpour, Sina Kamali Tabrizi
Religious schools are institutions for teaching Islamic sciences. Nowadays, many religious schools in Tehran, which were built during the Qajar period, have been destroyed due to natural erosion and urban expansion. Since there is no comprehensive research on the conservation and revitalization of these schools, the present study aims to model the value revitalization of Qajar religious schools in...... hiện toàn bộ
Determining the construction sequence of the Preah Vihear monument in Cambodia from its sandstone block characteristicsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-15 - 2017
Etsuo Uchida, Akinori Mizoguchi, Hiroya Sato, Ichita Shimoda, Ryota Watanabe
The Preah Vihear monument in Cambodia, located close to the border with Thailand, was one of the Khmer temples registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a Cultural Property in 2008. It consists of masonry buildings constructed of siliceous sandstone blocks. In this study, the construction sequence of its buildings was inferred from the chemical composition, magnetic susceptibility, and size ...... hiện toàn bộ
