These Pegasse soils that compose the Savannah of the coastal plains of British Guiana seem to be the ideal home of the Ite’ palm and its forests of it there look like the Cabbage Palms of Florida. It is my idea that this palm may grow on the alkaline peat of the Florida Everglades wherever water stands on them all the year round & the large amount of seed sent in for the purpose of this trial.

All rights reserved; America’s Cotton Producers and Importers. INTRODUCTION The desire of adding color and design to textile materials is almost as old as mankind. Early civilizations used color and design to distinguish themselves and to set themselves apart from others. Textile printing is the most important and versatile of the techniques used to add design, color, and specialty to textile fabrics. It can be thought of as the coloring technique that combines art, engineering, and dyeing technology to produce textile product images that had previously only existed in the imagination of the textile designer. Textile printing can realistically be considered localized dyeing. In ancient times, man sought these designs and images mainly for clothing or apparel, but in today’s marketplace, textile printing is important for upholstery, domestics (sheets, towels, draperies), floor coverings, and numerous other uses. The exact origin of textile printing is difficult to determine. However, a number of early civilizations developed various techniques for imparting color and design to textile garments. Batik is a modern art form for developing unique dyed patterns on textile fabrics very similar to textile printing. Batik is characterized by unique patterns and color combinations as well as the appearance of fracture lines due to the cracking of the wax during the dyeing process. Batik is derived from the Japanese term, “Ambatik,” which means “dabbing,” “writing,” or “drawing.” In Egypt, records from 23-79 AD describe a hot wax technique similar to batik.

  • Reducing Paper and Printer Ink Usage
    Reducing Paper and Printer Ink Usage Updated: 09/27/2012 PURPOSE This resource provides tips on how to reduce paper and printer ink usage in the office. DISCLAIMER The suggestions in this document are provided as an example of the types of actions you or your organization can implement to reduce usage of paper and printer ink and toner. The information in this resource does not supersede any federal agency’s policies, procedures, guidance, or requirements with respect to printing and publications. The Federal Electronics Challenge (FEC) encourages you to check within your own agency for printing policies, procedures and guidance. INTRODUCTION Executive Order 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance, requires federal agencies to reduce printing paper use; acquire paper with at least 30% postconsumer recycled content; enable automatic duplexing (double-sided printing); and use other energy-efficient and environmentally preferable features on all eligible agency electronic equipment. This document outlines a number of activities that can be undertaken to meet all of these goals. DOCUMENT OPTIONS FOR REDUCING PAPER USAGE Reduce Margins The standard default margins for documents developed in word processing software (i.e., Microsoft Word®) are 1” on all sides. Reducing the default margins to 0.75” or 0.5” can save a significant amount of paper. When printing on a standard sheet of 8 ½” x 11” piece of paper, there are 93.5 square inches available for typeface. With a 1” margin on all sides, the usable space is reduced to 58.5 square inches; reducing your available print area to 63%. If you change your margins to 0.75”, you increase the print area to 71%, and further reducing your margins to 0.5” increases the print area to 80% of the available space on the paper.

Considering the typified value obtained from the manufacturer’s specifications, four technologies—Liquid Crystal Displays, electronic paper, Organic Light-Emitting Display and Electroluminescent Displays—were selected in a first iteration. For each of them, several features, including size and brightness, were assessed in order to ascertain possible proportional relationships with the rate of consumption. To normalize the comparison between different display types, relative units such as the surface power density and the display frontal intensity efficiency were proposed.

  • Now You See Me… a History of Erasing
    Now You See Me, Now You Don’t A History of Erasing or as long as there has been writing there have been errors and the need to erase them. Logically, the erasure of writing can be done in one of three ways: namely the removal of the writing from the page, the hiding of the Fwords on the page, and lastly the covering of the words on the page. The first writing implements and surfaces were made for mistakes, as the wet clay used in tablets could simply be smoothed over and new letters formed with the stylus. It is likely that the complexity of the glyphs used in the first written languages seen in Egypt and Sumer (now in southern Iraq) resulted in many mistakes being made as each glyph would be formed individually. It is estimated that Sumerian cuneiform had approximately 1000 different glyphs in its infancy with its instruction being the main focus of lessons in the very first schools that began in Sumer. Cuneiform script The Sumerians established tablet houses that were located in the courtyard of the city temple and its pupils were boys from the wealthiest families. These educational establishments were so named because of the clay tablets upon which lessons were carefully copied from one half to the other by pupils. The learning and recitation of these texts was the primary focus of the school day and upon completion of their education, pupils were employed as scribes. Editing on Papyrus The transition from clay tablets to papyrus is significant not only in terms of its transportability, but also its cost and availability, both of which had implications for the writer’s ability to make and correct errors.

  • The Updated Data on Sanskrit Manuscripts of the Serindia Collection (IOM, RAS): Perspectives of the Study
    22 WRITTEN MONUMENTS OF THE ORIENT. Vol. 6, No. 2 (12), 2020, p. 22–42 Artiom Mesheznikov, Safarali Shomakhmadov The Updated Data on Sanskrit Manuscripts of the Serindia Collection (IOM, RAS): Perspectives of the Study DOI 10.17816/wmo56800 Abstract: This article presents the preliminary results of the study on the Sanskrit manu- scripts of the Serindia Collection of the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts, RAS. Basing on the previous researches, as well as on the results of the efforts of the ‘Sanskrit Group’ within Serindica Laboratory, the authors outline the structure and repertoire of the Sanskrit part of the Serindia Collection, supplementing it with the description of paleographic and codicological aspects of the Sanskrit manuscripts. Key words: paleography, Brāhmī, Sanskrit manuscripts, Tarim oases, Serindia manuscripts Collection The penetration of Buddhism into Central Asia dates back to the fi rst cen- turies of the 1st millennium AD and is associated with India.1 However, it is not clear yet how Buddhism spread and developed in this region and what features this Indian religion had while its expanded inside the Tarim Basin (these territories are also known as Serindia and East [Chinese] Turkestan; at present Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of PRC). Basing on the paleo- graphical research of manuscripts that have been preserved to nowadays, we can assume that Sanskrit was used as the main language of the transmission of the Buddhist tradition in the fi rst centuries AD. Later, when Buddhist texts were translated into the local Central Asian languages, Sanskrit was used as a language of the Central Asian Buddhist written tradition.

  • Study of Two Papyrus Fragments with Fourier Transform Infrared Microspectroscopy
    Study of Two Papyrus Fragments with Fourier Transform Infrared Microspectroscopy Joseph M. Azzarelli, Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology John B. Goods, Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Timothy M. Swager, Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Date of Study: November 5th, 2013 Date of Report: December 27th, 2013 Executive Summary We have performed FT-IR microspectroscopic analysis on both sides of the “Gospel of Jesus’ Wife” (GJW) and the “Gospel of John” (GosJohn) papyrus fragments. Professor Karen L. King of Harvard University provided the papyrus fragments on Tuesday, November 5th 2013. GJW The fragment is predominantly composed of oxidized cellulosic material, which is consistent with old papyrus. The fragment is largely homogenous in chemical composition. We found one anomalous feature that we were unable to identify. We did not observe any major spectral differences between ‘bare’ papyrus and papyrus coated with ink. We did not observe any major spectral differences between the recto and verso sides of the papyrus fragment. The degree of oxidation is similar to that of the GosJohn fragment; however, the GJW fragment appears to be slightly less oxidized overall than the GosJohn fragment. - Oxidation of the fragments is dependent on both their storage conditions and their ages, among other factors. 1 GosJohn The fragment is predominantly composed of oxidized cellulosic material, which is consistent with old papyrus. Our analysis indicates that the extent of oxidation is slightly greater than the GJW fragment. Like the GJW fragment, the GosJohn fragment is mostly homogeneous in chemical composition with no significant differences between (i) bare papyrus and papyrus covered in ink and (ii) between the recto and verso sides.
