High entropy alloys (HEAs) are a novel class of materials that represent an evolution common engineering to wider array compositional and properties possibilities. As such, the exploration methodologies achieve improved microstructure mechanical characteristics these for potential applications in industry is requirement experiencing extended research efforts. One example processing method able expand Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), which allows evaluate metallurgical corresponding...
The Alcobaça Monastery (Portugal), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, currently exhibits high degree of surface alterations the stone architectural elements inside church, including an extensive pink coloration in walls and columns, bacteria biofilms, salt efflorescences. main goal was to identify microbiota that colonizes columns this monument, help custodians conservators-restorers selection correct procedure be adopted for conservation monument. Regarding observed discoloration, considering...
This study focuses on constructing a heritage corridor for traditional villages in the Taihu Lake region, aiming to promote cultural preservation and sustainable development of these through innovative pathway design. Based spatial distribution characteristics across five cities surrounding (Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Huzhou, Jiaxing) existing transportation network, this research integrates Circuit Effective Conductance (CEC) theory with ArcGIS analysis methods optimize pathways corridor. The...
Biosorbents have been recently gaining importance, with an increasing number of publications on their environmental applications, especially for removal organic pollutants from aqueous media. The aim this work was to evaluate the sorption capacity a biosorbent, namely granulated cork, remove mixtures ibuprofen (IB), carbamazepine (CB) and clofibric acid (CA) water wastewater. High efficiencies were attained IB CB while less satisfactory performance observed CA. Simultaneous three compounds...
The purpose of this work is to characterize Portuguese painting ground layers from the 15th and 16th centuries (1450–1600), focusing particularly on Coimbra, Lisbon, Viseu workshops. Calcium sulfate, used regularly in these common Iberian Peninsula as a natural resource. Its use now confirmed, already studied Spanish paintings, it was prepared generally by addition animal glue. Besides esthetic language various workshops at time, chalk/calcite (calcium carbonate), gypsum (di‐hydrated calcium...
Abstract The study performed on the stone materials from Convent of Christ revealed presence a complex microbial ecosystem, emphasizing determinant role microorganisms biodecay this built cultural heritage. In case study, Rubrobacter sp., Arthrobacter Roseomonas and Marinobacter sp. seems to be responsible for colored stains biofilm formation while Ulocladium Cladosporium Dirina may related structural damages. implementation high‐throughput sequencing approaches Christ's assessment allowed...
The aim of this work is the material characterization wall paintings and biodegradation assessment, including analysis microbial growth effect proliferation, in view their conservation. methodology was applied to study frescoes dated from 1531, located ancient parish church Santo Aleixo, Southern Portugal. combined use optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDS) μ- diffraction (XRD) showed that painting palette composed red...
In the framework of inter‐disciplinary KongoKing project, a set beads from archaeological excavations in Democratic Republic Congo was analysed by means minimally invasive, multi‐analytical approach based on micro‐Raman spectroscopy. The full characterization materials, including glassy network, opacifiers and colorizers, achieved thanks to combination data handheld X‐ray fluorescence, variable pressure scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy‐dispersive spectrometry, micro‐Fourier...
