Book excerpt: Modesty, the flower of manners, the honor of our bodies, the grace of the sexes, the integrity of the blood, the guarantee of our race, the basis of sanctity, the pre-indication of every good disposition; rare though it is, and not easily perfected, and scarce ever retained in perpetuity, will yet up to a certain point linger in the world, if nature shall have laid the preliminary groundwork of it, discipline persuaded to it, censorial rigor curbed its excesses--on the hypothesis, that is, that every mental good quality is the result either of birth, or else of training, or else of external compulsion. But as the conquering power of things evil is on the increase--which is the characteristic of the last times--things good are now not allowed either to be born, so corrupted are the seminal principles; or to be trained, so deserted are studies; nor to be enforced, so disarmed are the laws. In fact, (the modesty) of which we are now beginning (to treat) is by this time grown so obsolete, that it is not the abjuration but the moderation of the appetites which modesty is believed to be; and he is held to be chaste enough who has not been too chaste. But let the world's modesty see to itself, together with the world itself: together with its inherent nature, if it was wont to originate in birth; its study, if in training; its servitude, if in compulsion: except that it had been even more unhappy if it had remained only to prove fruitless, in that it had not been in God's household that its activities had been exercised.

Download or read book Standard Colorimetry written by Claudio Oleari and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colour is a sensation and as such it is a subjective and incommunicable quantity. Colour measurement is possible because we can create a correspondence between colour sensations and the light radiations that stimulate them. This correspondence concerns the physics of light radiation, the physiology of the visual process and the psychology of vision. Historically, in parallel to standard colorimetry, systems for colour ordering have been developed that allow colour specifications in a very practical and concrete way, based on the direct vision of material colour samples arranged in colour atlases. Colour-ordering systems are sources of knowledge of colour vision, which integrate standard colorimetry. Standard Colorimetry: Definitions, Algorithms and Software: Describes physiology and psychophysics useful to understand colorimetry Considers all the photometric and colorimetric systems standardized by CIE (XYZ, CIELAB, CIELUV, LMS) Presents colorimetric instrumentation in order to guide the reader toward colorimetric practice Discusses colorimetric computation to understand the meaning of numerical colour specification Considers colorimetry in colour syntheses and in imaging colour reproduction Includes ready-to-use, freely-available software, “Colorimetric eXercise”, which has multiple toolboxes dedicated to displaying CIE systems, atlases, any colour and its whole numerical specification colour-vision phenomena and tests Standard Colorimetry: Definitions, Algorithms and Software is an accessible and valuable resource for students, lecturers, researchers and laboratory technicians in colour science and image technology.

Download or read book Modeling the Ecorche Human Figure in Clay written by Netra Bahadur Khattri and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-19 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is meant for those people or artists, Sculptors, Painters, or Students studying human anatomy or Fine Art. As a Sculptor, Netra Khattri has made this book with the language of Art (Sculpture), how muscles attach to the human skeleton, and from where the muscle originates and inserts with muscle function. Initially, Netra Khattri thought of human muscles as sculptures, beginning to end with skeletons, partial muscled figures, and the origin and function of muscular structures. For example, the reader can look at the skeleton to see how the bones and muscles are constructed in this process of evolution and metamorphosis. Nevertheless, there are more interesting facts in human anatomy than here. The difference between this book shows the Ecorche sculpting process is finished anatomical references rather than, other anatomy book shows drawings of muscles attach with bone and structures of human anatomy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This catalogue of over 3,000 items presents a huge variety of ephemera from ancient Corinth, fascinating for the glimpses of daily life in an ancient city which they offer us. The book presents a miscellany of figurines, vessels and furniture, jewelry and dress accessories, seals and stamps, keys and locks, glass panes and inlay, loomweights, writing implements, surgical tools, musical instruments, religious paraphernalia, military accoutrements, and tools. The chronological range of the material is from the 8th century B.C. to the Turkish period. The largest group of objects belong to the Byzantine period and the next largest to the centuries of Roman rule. Of special interest are the sections on glass vessels, on loomweights, on finger rings, and on lead seals.

Download or read book New Trends In Analytical Environmental And Cultural Heritage Chemistry written by Lorenzo Tassi and published by . This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is intended to provide a general overview of principles and practical applications of various areas of analytical chemistry, in particular (but not exclusively) in the contexts of environmental and cultural heritages conservation. It is only since the 80 s that the production of more sensible recording instruments, the miniaturization of analytical devices and the huge growth of computational power, have become widely accessible and diffused for routine investigations. Recent advances in the use and applications of uncommon techniques and relevant working methodologies, e.g. synchrotron radiation, will probably exert a permanent influence in future studies. The development of hardware and software has awakened the interest in exploration of huge datasets, e.g. instrumental signals and images, and nowadays is an irreplaceable tool in defining correlations between objects, systems, mathematical variables, and so on. The result has been a great proliferation of research studies and applications in all the fields, so that the Analytical Chemistry has acquired a major status in the broad area of Applied Sciences. In fact, in all of these great developments, the analytical chemists have played, and still play, a pivotal role. During the past three decades, just the time that we have been active in research and teaching activities, we had the fortunate and exclusive opportunity to assist to the quite general and spectacular transition from the macro-branch to micro-branch of the subject area. Thus, we have the great responsibility towards the new generations of scientists to stimulate interests and to provide guidance about micro-analytical chemistry, both in lecturing and in research. It is our opinion that analytical chemistry has been the mainmast in every chemical career of the past, and we believe that the rigid discipline of conducting micro-analytical experiments is an essential part of the training of every new chemist. All around the world, analytical chemistry is developing micro- and ultra-micro-analysis systems to such an extent that it is impossible to see, with the naked eye, the minute samples sent in for analysis. These highly performing methodologies make possible micro-sampling of materials and substrates both for destructive or not destructive analysis, without causing perceptible deterioration of the object or the system under study. Obviously, the acquisition of the best knowledge and competences about techniques and working methodologies by the analysts in manipulating micro-samples, are only the essential prerequisites in order to gain the best results, while laboratory protocols and good-laboratory-practice must be perfectly attained during the operations. Probably, these concepts are the leit-motif of the entire book. We have assumed the responsibility for the general outline of the book. We hope to have successfully assembled an interesting and versatile mix of various ingredients such as peoples and machines, ideas and results, techniques and methodologies, experiments and theories, materials and simulated models: a true cocktail provided by different chemists acting in very different analytical fields. The book is formally divided into three sections, covering topics about : - general aspects of analytical chemistry (chapters 1-5, whose key words should be : traceability in chemical measurements, sequential injection analysis, NMR and HR-MAS, electron transfer in pesticides, multivariate analysis of analytical signals); - applications in the environmental context (chapters 6-8, specific arguments are : microwave techniques for sample manipulation, thermal methods of analysis, continuous and semi-continuous analytical methods in paleoclimatic studies); - some applications in the cultural heritage and conservation studies (chapters 9-17, treating stone cleaning and conservation, colour measurement on paintings, MS and GC-MS analytical procedures for painting analysis, salt weathering, synchrotron radiation and lasers applications to cultural heritages, investigations of historical glasses and papers, and more than this). In some cases this subdivision was artificially forced and, therefore, it was not rigidly followed. In fact some chapters, for their not-at-all specific content, could be placed everywhere along the chapter sequence, disregarding the apparent pertinence and the actual location in one section. With this final aim in mind, each contributor was requested to present the state of the art in his field, by introducing and applying contemporary statements of topics that he considers relevant to his research field and for the editorial assignment. In the preliminary call and in the subsequent editorial coordination of this material, the primary intent has been to avoid, as much as possible, unnecessary overlapping of the various chapters. Some chapters, however, have been written to provide an historical development and a survey of recent exciting advances. Their particular aim is to outline the basic principles, to illustrate such success in applicative studies as is possible with current methods, and to indicate their potential scope and present limitations. Accordingly, there is no attempt to provide anything in the nature of an encyclopaedic coverage, but rather, after a general survey of analytical studies and applications, each specialist or co-authorship has emphasized what he regards as the essential bases and recent developments of his topics. Finally, the Editors wish to address their gratitude to the Authors of the chapters. As in all works involving multiple authors, a great deal of the success of the venture depends upon their cooperation, as well as upon the prompt advising by publisher staff. This book is no exception to these rules. Authors contributions required much of their valuable time, which they must have sparingly withdrawn from their research, teaching and many other related activities. Furthermore, it was a particular pleasure for the Editors to be able to call upon recognized and reputed scientists, and, between them, many young research postgraduate students as contributors. As research fellows, or former research fellows, we are delighted to see their enthusiastic participation and their excellent research targets, so that the book exhibits, we hope, a tastefully arrangement. The efforts of these Authors should be commended. A special thank is extended to Transworld Research Nertwork for its fine production of this series in Scientific Communication.
