The construction technique of raw earth, which has always been in use most the world, left large monuments or architectural complexes to cultural heritage that need special attention due notable vulnerability material. A convenient way deal this threat, besides physical intervention, is by using an information system, such as HBIM (Heritage Building Information Modeling), a tool for damage assessment and conservation planning. This paper reports on its application archaeological setting,...
Aim of the present work was to evaluate effects trehalose on corneal epithelium undergoing alcohol delamination.Twelve patients laser subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) were consecutively included in study. The right eyes pretreated with 3% eye drops, whilst left used as control. Epithelial specimens processed for cells vitality assessment, apoptosis, and light transmission electron microscopy; a morphometric analysis performed both groups.In trehalose-untreated (TUE) trehalose-treated...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance exploiting a geographic information system (GIS)-based data management, designed and implemented for an important monumental site. In particular, collected during years have been used create storytelling experience disseminate tangible intangible heritage Chan (Peru), wider site in mud bricks Latin America. Design/methodology/approach discusses steps that performed use stored GIS, arguing over sharing knowledge through...
Abstract. The digitization of complex buildings, findings or bas relieves can strongly facilitate the work archaeologists, mainly for in depth analysis tasks. Notwithstanding, whether new visualization techniques ease study phase, a classical naked-eye approach determining changes surface alteration could bring towards several drawbacks. research described these pages is aimed at providing experts with workflow evaluation alterations (e.g. color decay alterations), allowing more rapid and...
The amount of damage to cultural heritage sites is increasing rapidly every year. This due inadequate management and uncontrolled urban growth as well unpredictable seismic atmospheric events that manifest themselves in a continuously deteriorating ecosystem. Thus, applications artificial intelligence (AI) remote-sensing (RS) techniques (machine-learning deep-learning algorithms) for monitoring archaeological have increased recent years. research involves the surrounding area site Chan Peru...
Abstract. Cultural Heritage goods represent the memory and history of civilization. Notwithstanding, there are not sufficient public resources to guarantee their preservation maintenance. Nowadays between several geomatic techniques available, pillar for mankinds heritage is low cost close photogrammetric acquisition. The advantages virtual reconstructions based on Multi View Stereo (MVS) Structure from Motion (SfM) algorithms extended documentation its virtualization or modelling. digital...
Chan Chan, an archaeological site located at Trujillo, Peru, is a huge historical settlement very large and difficult to visit some well-conserved architecture, like Huaca Arco Iris, far from the core centre of site. Furthermore many other heavy factors, as illegal excavations, marine salt transported by wind sometime devastating phenomenon Nino, are reasons lost decorative elements, which covered due conservation issues. To overcome aforesaid problems, we designed, developed realized museum...
The development of geophysical exploration and techniques have proven to be great help in identifying classifying buried surfaces for planning future excavation strategies.The purpose this work is detect the presence structures (walls, floors, etc.) unexplored areas Villa St. Pietro ad Muricentum (Montebuono, Italy) Collesecco (Cottanello, Italy).Both were investigated with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR).The preliminary results show anomalies a few meters deep attributable archaeological...
