  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

  • The Truth About Clamshell/Blister Recycling in American with Suggestions for the Industry©
    A Dordan Manufacturing Report 2025 S. Castle Rd. Woodstock, IL, 60098 815.334.0087 WWW.DORDAN.COM Recycling Report: The Truth about Clamshell/Blister Recycling in American with Suggestions for the Industry© By Chandler Slavin, Sustainability Coordinator& Marketing Manager The axiom “reduce, reuse, recycle,” which for so long represented our industry’s ambiguous approach toward “being green,” has in recent years translated into a quantifiable reality. Such a reality, with the help of EPIi and the FTC, is now defined by specific terms and qualifications.ii For instance, to claim that a package has been reduced, one must demonstrate the overall material reductions resulting from the redesign; to claim that a package is reusable, a system for the collection and reuse of said packaging must be presented with validating evidence; and, to claim that a package is recycled means, contrary to popular belief, that this package is in fact recycled in 60% or more of American communities. While everything conceptually is recyclable, only those types of package/material combinationsiii that are literally collected, reprocessed and remanufactured can be labeled “recycled and/or recyclable.” With this qualification of terminology came the unraveling of several myths: not only are the high rates for paper recovery attributed primarily to newspapers and corrugagte,iv those for plastic packaging are attributed mostly to PET beverage bottles and HDPE milk containers.v Why are certain material/packaging types recycled, while others are not? ______________________________________________________________________ The Economics of Recycling in America The answer, like most things, lie in economics: Those material/packaging types that are easy to collect post-consumer, transport, sort, clean, bale, and remanufacture enjoy the likelihood of being recycled because the cost of the resultant “recycled” material is competitive with the cost of virgin material production.

  • Innovative Packaging Technologies to Enhance the Safety and the Quality of Fresh Raspberry
    INNOVATIVE PACKAGING TECHNOLOGIES TO ENHANCE THE SAFETY AND THE QUALITY OF FRESH RASPBERRY Jeanne S. Peters1, Ariane Vasilatis1, Thomas J. Gianfagna1 and Kit Yam2 Plant Biology Department, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08901; 2Food Science Department, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08901 Abstract The goal of this project is to develop innovative packaging systems for fresh raspberry and other Results fruit to enhance quality and safety, and to extend Raspberries held in shelf-life for the small grower. We are developing a clamshells fitted with these science-based approach to extend the shelf life of fresh sachets and then sealed with raspberry, and other small fruit using packaging as a MAP lost less weight and delivery system to minimize microbial contamination had less disease as seen in through the controlled release of thyme oil, and to Fig 2. and Table 1 and Table extend shelf life using modified atmosphere 2 packages(MAP). Introduction A The major postharvest pathogen of raspberry is Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of gray mold disease. Essential oils (EO) from common herbs such as thyme and oregano have been known for centuries to have anti-microbial activity. We incorporated the EO’s into controlled release packaging (CRP) that releases the active compounds at differentiable rates suitable for short-term inhibition of microorganisms in fresh fruits. For our delivery system, we encapsulated the EO’s into cyclodextrin (CD), which stabilizes them, and then we wrap these capsules into a TyvekTM sachet, which can be placed inside the packaging (Fig. 1). CRP can prolong shelf life without overloading the fruit with additives and can continually B replenish the active compounds from the packaging to maintain Fig.
