Metal Work_ Crimson Publishers

Metal Work by Catherine Anne Mathias in  Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings


As a geologist (MSc) looking at the worlds rapidly growing need not only for petroleum but also metals, one wonders if we will continue to meet these requirements; probably not. This is in part why we continue to have conflicts in the Middle East which tends to impact cultural heritage with both the trafficking of artifacts and the demolition of cultural sites. That said as an Art historian and conservator (PhD) looking at Medieval metalwork from this area and South America I have found our ingenuity to adapt to new materials is quite good. Now as a seasoned researcher to Columbia I have gained a new appreciation for what would have been challenging mining activities for a period spanning from 300 A.D. to 1600 A.D. However, the raw materials made their way to the metal workers shop and the products that survive today are spectacular. The same holds for the metalwork of Mosul Iraq and Kabul Afghanistan. The other fact that I find fascinating is the similarity in technique for areas which did not see trade until recently and that is only speculative and in the drug trafficking areas.

Another area of interest is the chemical composition of the materials used in the metalwork projects. By about 1400 A.D. this material could be sourced anywhere on the globe. To positively establish sources the application of stable isotope geochemistry will likely be required. All metals will have some sort of isotopic signature in their corrosion layer and the gemstones will have even more information in their inclusions which can be extracted by laser ablation.

Software Platform for Analise of Data in The Field of Waste Management_ Crimson Publishers

Software Platform for Analise of Data in The Field of Waste Management by Hiroshi Bando In Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings   Abstract This system will create activity in the waste market, which will involve processors. For this purpose, the research of thermal conductivity of RDF-raw materials of waste landfills in the laboratory of quality control of new functional materials GUAP and programming in Java Script virtual platform ECO 365.The global perspective of the project is the consolidation of the laboratory of new composite materials GUAP to create a waste processing Center with the main focus on research in the field of production and sale of biogas. Demand in the market is large. The used technologies of analytical and measuring instruments and programs of three-dimensional equipment will allow to apply in parallel with the analysis of raw materials the possibility of developing equipment to produce by-products from waste with their subsequent certification....

Using Shortened Systematic Strategic Planning (SSP) Working Model for the Development of a Strategic Plan of an Entrepreneurial Business-Case Study_ Crimson Publishers

Using Shortened Systematic Strategic Planning (SSP) Working Model for the Development of a Strategic Plan of an Entrepreneurial Business-Case Study by Hakan Butuner In Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings   Abstract Where strategic analysis tools are explained, this is most frequently done conceptually rather than their actual application in strategic planning. Shortened systematic strategic planning (SSP) consists of a pattern of stepwise procedure for straight-forward planning, and the fundamentals involved in any strategic planning project. SSP has been applied to and tested on different businesses’ subject issue and has been generated by the composition of the cause-and-effect relations of them. The intention here is to provide a new perspective and benefit for the strategic planners by introducing this new systematic methodology and demonstrating its implementation on an entrepreneurial and new business called Visual Co. Accordingly, let shortened version of SSP e...

Synthesis and Characterization of Nickel Doped Iron Oxide Nano Particles for Biomedical Application by Arshad Javid Muhammad in Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings Abstract The objective of this work is to synthesize and characterization of nickel ferrite as MRI contrast agent to improve the signal intensity of T2 weighted images for biomedical application. For structural analysis, XRD was revealed that Ni-doped Fe2O4 have a cubic spinal structure Having Miller Indices (hkl) values of (220), (311), (222), (400), (331), (442), (333), (440) and (531). From XRD data, the grain size of Ni Fe2O4 was observed to be (17.12nm) after 20wt.% Ni-doped Fe2O4, and its further increases up to19.36nm for 40wt.% Ni Fe2O4, respectively. The XRD pattern confirmed that doping of Ni metal increased the grain size of nanoparticles. SEM was performed to study the morphology of prepared samples. EDX was performed to confirm the elemental analysis. EDX spectra depicted the desired peaks of Fe, O, Cl...
