The effectiveness of laser ablation cleanness methods was evaluated in air, water and vacuum condition. The samples were subjected to HC1 treatment for several hours to simulate the formation of chloride patina on marine archeological artifacts. Laser ablation removes the patina in all medium, reducing its thickness from 300 to few microns in air and water and eliminating completely the chlorine in vacuum conditions. However, it was observed the formation, during cleanness of a white patina in air and water and an increasing of oxygen amount on surface. This indicate that in ambient reach in oxygen laser ablation favorite the oxygen absorbance on surface and the formation of a thin layer of AgO which dulls the surface. This hypothesis is confirmed by the results of laser ablation in vacuum conditions where surface tarnishing was not observed. So, laser ablation in vacuum condition was indicated as the most effective procedure to clean silver artifacts.展开更多

This paper develops a philosophical reading of two important examples, Coetzee's Foe (1987) and Bowles' The Sheltering Sky (1951), in terms of themes such as isolation, silence and truth. But who authors, or authorizes "truth"? As Merleau-Ponty (1970) saw, the ego cogito of phenomenology symbolizes the quest for "global truth" where "what is evident for him" is or could be for all, for he "speaks for everyone". These two works, however, challenge the standard that "he speaks", and she does not: that women "as such", as it would seem, have always already been spoken for. Instead, the focus here is on "the self' not as neutral ground but as always engendered, in every sense of that word--always emergent as well as creative always acculturated, situated, embodied, sexed or de-sexed--always speaking, or remaining stubbornly silent, and always refusing, like truth itself, to be "pinned down"展开更多

Mosques are an integral part of the China and the Muslims’ society due to their unique style and features. The courtyard is a common element in the design of mosques, and its components vary depending on regional traditions of the time and place where it was built. With the growth of interest in the term of human needs and participation between designer and users in evaluating the design quality, this study summarizes the modern and traditional Chinese mosque courtyard design for Arabian Muslim users in order to evaluate whether their physical and spiritual needs are being appropriately met or not. A questionnaire was distributed to Arab Muslims living in the city of Nanjing to discuss the quality evaluation of traditional and modern mosques’ courtyard design. Through the analysis of seven natural and physical key issue elements in the design of the courtyard, the functional characteristics and configurations are analyzed. The results can be used to improve the design of the new mosque in future by using the vocabulary that accomplishes the architectural fusion of both Chinese and Islamic culture, as well as aesthetic and functional aspects.展开更多

Case: patient female, with AML-M2, hospitalized with fever, dyspnea, nausea, myasthenia, abdominal pain and diarrhea. In the physical examination exacerbated lesion in abdominal wall and subcutaneous nodules in upper and lower limbs. The computed tomography of the chest evinced area of attenuation in ground-glass opacities in the middle lobe, tending to consolidation and bilateral nodular opacities with ground-glass halo which suggested an infiammatory/infectious process of fungal etiology. Immunoscintigraphy with ^99mTc-besilesomab (Scintimun) identified focal infectious processes in activity, scattered over cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues, predominantly in extremities. In blood culture test, there was a growth ofFusarium sp. There is a difficulty in the diagnosis of fungal infections, both in clinical and imaging methods. There is no specific method to reaching the target. In addition, fungal diseases can be divided into focally localized or disseminated infections. There is a greater difficulty in the diagnosis of immunocompromised individuals due to the deficiency of basic defense mechanisms. Scintimun (scintigraphy with besilesomab) is a useful tool of nuclear medicine in the diagnosis of infectious and inflammatory diseases to allow the image of the whole-body and in vivo detection of early pathological and physiological phenomena, even before anatomical alterations occur.展开更多

With these literature views, his works also had shown his pursuit for the specialty and artistry of literature, as well as a transition from technique-oriented writing to a balance of emotion expression and technique usage. Anyway, during his translation of French literature and creative practice, the rich literature nutrition he received led to his unclear and complex thoughts which he neutralized with carefulness, and hence his unique literature views.展开更多

In this paper, we define parameter combinatorial diagram as the joint graphical representation of all box plots related to the adjustment between real and simulated data, by setting and/or changing the parameters of the simulation model. To do this, we start with a box plot representing the values of an objective adjustment function, achieving these results when varying all the parameters of the simulation model, Then we draw the box plot when setting all the parameters of the model, for example, using the median or average. Later, we get all the box plots when carrying out simulations combining fixed or variable values of the model parameters. Finally, all box plots obtained are represented neatly in a single graph. It is intended that the new parameter combinatorial diagram is used to examine and analyze simulation models useful in practice. This paper presents combinatorial diagrams of different examples of application as in the case of hydrologic models of one, two, three, and five parameters.展开更多

On the other hand, it is a city that lives with specific sentiments--the sense of defeat and loss, melancholy and pain because of the lost power and glory. The author analyzes Pamuk's vision of his native city created on the basis of the real scenes and imaginary, the truly lived experiences and fiction. The paper is also concentrated on the deeds of the Turkish and European writers that had made a great contribution in Pamuk's synthesis of the East and the West, the past and the present and authentic permeation of cultures he has achieved writing about Istanbul.展开更多

Through such process, buildings are occupied by new usages that assure they are not abandoned. However, conservation issues, like pathological manifestations by filamentous fungi, are common even in buildings receiving new uses. Thus, it is extremely important to know the microclimate behavior of these buildings and analyze if there are usages that favor the appearance of filamentous fungi or not. This study aims to verify if new usages modify the microclimate in historical buildings and if such possible change favors the appearance of pathological manifestations by filamentous fimgi in some specific use. To achieve the results, three buildings that have gone through recycling processes were chosen in the city of Pelotas, in Southernmost Brazil. The city possesses a large number of buildings with historical value and its climate conditions are propitious for appearance of filamentous fungi. For 12 months, microclimate was monitored, the environments modus operandi was characterized and there was a survey on the pathological manifestations by filamentous fungi in the three buildings with two different uses: administration offices and exhibition rooms. Conclusion was that usages that allow natural ventilation and lighting favor conservation, which is what happens in the ones used as administration offices. Besides that, it was noticed that the construction system also influences, since buildings with a high cellar that is being used did not present filamentous fungi, which also shows the influence of ascending humidity on the appearance of such pathological manifestations.展开更多

Based on arguments derived primarily from ancient philosophers (Eubulides, Plato, Aristotle), medieval philosophers (St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas), the thinker of the Renaissance---Machiavelli, the main philosopher of the Enlightenment--Kant, the 19th-century author of Beyond Good and Evil (Nietzsche), and contemporary thinkers such as Derrida and Lacan, the author considers here truth as a normative value. Lying is relative to the truth, and it has no ontological legitimacy, even it cannot exist without truth itself. In the final part of the article, the author concludes that the truth, however, cannot lead to clearly had effects, be harmful or cause pain disproportionate to the effects caused by lie. Therefore, it must coexist with the good--the other parent value. Only when both values complement each other can we talk about the normative value of truth. The truth should be correlated with other values on which value systems are based, especially the good of a person or group of persons, avoiding harm towards others, and the protection of a person's health and life. Only then can the truth be appropriate to use. It is not an immovable foundation, but a dynamically functioning value, in which language and the ethical (active) dimensions provide the value of the specified situations. The truth can be a double-edged sword: It may hurt, but it can defend itself. The latter function seems to be the most important type of the normativity of truth.展开更多
