Title: Uses of ionizing radiation for tangible cultural heritage conservation / International Atomic Energy Agency. Description: Vienna : International Atomic Energy Agency, 2017. | Series: IAEA radiation technology series, ISSN 2220–7341 ; no.6 | Includes bibliographical references. Identifiers: IAEAL 17-01091 | ISBN 978–92–0–103316–1 (paperback : alk. paper) Subjects: LCSH: Materials — Effect of radiation on. | Irradiation. | Biological decontamination. | Conservation and cultural heritage. Classification: UDC 620.179.152.5 | STI/PUB/1747 FOREWORD Cultural heritage is the legacy of physical artefacts and intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from past generations and maintained for the benefit of future generations. Physical or ‘tangible’ cultural heritage includes works of art, artefacts in museum collections, books, manuscripts, drawings, archive documents, musical instruments, ethnographic objects, archaeological findings, natural history collections, historical buildings and historical places, monuments and industrial heritage objects. Museums today have become important institutions not only for culture, but also for tourism, the economy and national identity. Studying and keeping art objects and other cultural heritage artefacts available, in the best condition possible, for future generations is a significant challenge. The application of scientific methods to art and archaeological materials has a long tradition, and institutions such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the International Council of Museums — Committee for Conservation (ICOM-CC), the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) have promoted the use of natural science techniques by museum curators and cultural heritage researchers. The IAEA, as a leading supporter of the peaceful use of nuclear technology, has assisted laboratories in its Member States to develop and apply nuclear methods in cultural heritage research for socioeconomic development in emerging economies. Ionizing radiation based techniques are now recognized as important tools for the examination, characterization and analysis of art objects or other cultural heritage artefacts and their component materials. Preservation of existing cultural heritage artefacts continues to pose a serious challenge, as a variety of factors such as improper storage conditions, climate change or adversities like flooding lead to deterioration or loss of cultural heritage worldwide. Both chemical and physical methods have been developed for treatment and restoration of cultural heritage artefacts. However, chemical methods may leave undesirable chemicals, and physical methods generally use extreme conditions which are not suitable for some types of material. The efforts of national and international research programmes dedicated to developing harmonized methodologies for radiation treatment have led to acceptance of radiation technology for treatment of cultural heritage artefacts. The IAEA has also initiated several projects to support the application of nuclear techniques to cultural heritage investigations. This book results from the cooperative work of a group of experts convened by the IAEA in October 2014. The aim of the book is to provide state of the art knowledge on application of radiation technology for disinfection and consolidation. It is addressed to the conservation community (curators, conservators/restorers, registrars, art historians, archaeologists, conservation scientists) active in the various fields of cultural heritage (in museums, libraries, archives, archaeological institutions, historical buildings, conservation workshops) and also to the ionizing radiation community (scientists, engineers and technicians working in various disciplines such as radiation technology, radiation chemistry, environmental technology and radiation biology). The IAEA wishes to thank all the consultants and contributors for their valuable time and their contributions to this manuscript, in particular, C.C. Ponta (Romania) and the late J.B.G.A. Havermans (Netherlands). Mr Havermans’s contribution to this book was of great significance, and the IAEA expresses its appreciation to him. The IAEA also wishes to thank the individual contributors who agreed to share their experiences by contributing individual chapters to make this book more comprehensive. It is hoped that this publication will contribute to wider application of radiation technologies for preserving heritage materials. The IAEA officer responsible for this publication was S. Sabharwal of the Division of Physical and Chemical Sciences.

  • A Brief Survey of the History of Forensic Entomology 15
    A brief survey of the history of forensic entomology 15 Acta Biologica Benrodis 14 (2008): 15-38 A brief survey of the history of forensic entomology Ein kurzer Streifzug durch die Geschichte der forensischen Entomologie MARK BENECKE International Forensic Research & Consulting, Postfach 250411, D-50520 Köln, Germany; [email protected] Summary: The fact that insects and other arthropods contribute to the decomposition of corpses and even may help to solve killings is known for years. In China (13th century) a killer was convicted with the help of flies. Artistic contributions, e.g. from the 15th and 16th century, show corpses with “worms”, i.e. maggots. At the end of the 18th and in the beginning of the 19th century forensic doctors pointed out the significance of maggots for decomposition of corpses and soon the hour of death was determined using pupae of flies (Diptera) and larval moths (Lepidoptera) as indicators. In the eighties of the 19th century, when REINHARD and HOFMANN documented adult flies (Phoridae) on corpses during mass exhumation, case reports began to be replaced by systematic studies and entomology became an essential part of forensic medicine and criminology. At nearly the same time the French army veterinarian MÉGNIN recognized that the colonisation of corpses, namely outside the grave, takes place in predictable waves; his book “La faune des cadavres” published in 1894 is a mile stone of the forensic entomology. Canadian (JOHNSTON & VILLENEUVE) and American (MOTTER) scientists have been influenced by MÉGNIN. Since 1895 the former studied forensically important insects on non buried corpses and in 1896 and 1897 MOTTER published observations on the fauna of exhumed corpses, the state of corpses as well as the composition of earth and the time of death of corpses in the grave.

Författare Author: Chipango Kamboyi Sammanfattning Abstract Oak habitats are rich in saproxylic species, but the habitat is declining with loss of diversity due to encroachment which decrease the vitality of oaks. The present explorative study compared results from a study conducted in 1994, with present species communities to observe if there has been change in species composition and what factors that can explain species diversity and composition. The results revealed that the overall species composition between 1994 and 2018 has changed. There were 130 species recorded in 2018 compared to 108 species in 1994 (31 new species were recorded in 2018, and 9 species lost from the study in 1994). There was a high species turnover recorded per individual tree, and the species composition between the living and encountered dead trees did not differ.

    11th International Working Conference on Stored Product Protection Session 7 : Museum Pests The use of thermal control against insect pests of cultural property Strang, T.J.K.*# Canadian Conservation Institute, Department of Canadian Heritage, 1030 Innes Rd. Ottawa, ON, Canada, K1B4S7 *Corresponding author, Email: [email protected] #Presenting author, Email: [email protected] DOI: 10.14455/DOA.res.2014.110 Abstract Collections in cultural institutions are vulnerable to many deleterious events. Insects of concern are a blend of ‗household pests‘, typified by clothes moth and dermestid species, ‗timber pests‘ such as anobiid and lyctid species and ‗food pests‘ of kitchen, pantry and granary as collections are quite varied in their composition across museum, archive, library, gallery, historic properties and cultural centers. There is a distribution of scale of museums and concomitant resources to apply against all modes of deterioration, as well as accomplishing operational goals using the collections as a core resource. There is a strong need for museum pest control methods inside an integrated pest management framework to be efficacious, have minimal effect on objects, and be economical in their costs. Through the 1980‘s and 90‘s museum staff became increasingly knowledgeable about industrial hygiene, harmful substances used in preparation methods, preservative solutions and residual insecticides. Some collections have been tested for residual arsenic, mercury, DDT, and other contaminants. Fumigants were curtailed for health and environmental impact so ethylene oxide (ETO), phosphine and methyl bromide (MeBr) followed the loss of grain fumigants which had been applied as liquids in museum storage cabinets. Thermal and controlled atmosphere methods offered a way forward for many museums which found they could not continue previous practices for controlling insects on and inside their objects.

  • Alien Insect Impact on Cultural Heritage and Landscape
    LIEN INSECT IMPACT ON CULTURAL HERITAGE AND ALANDSCAPE: AN UNDERESTIMATED PROBLEM Barbara Manachini*5 Dipartimento Scienze e Tecnologie Biologiche, Chimiche e Farmaceutiche STEBICEF, Via Archirafi , 18, Palermo, Italy Keywords: Invasive species; economic impact; insect pests; biodiversity What is an invasive alien insect? Invasive species are referred to as non-natives, exotics, aliens, non-indigenous harmful species and by a host of other names. All these defi nitions incorporate a basic concept: invasive species are organisms that have been introduced into an environ- ment in which they did not evolve and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm [1]. Typically, they have few or no natural enemies to limit their reproduction and/or spread. Moreover, the hosts (e.g. native trees) for inva- sive insects often have not co-evolved with the introduced pest. Consequently native hosts are much more likely to be damaged or killed by the invasive pest. Today, inva- sive species cause millions of dollars of damage to croplands, rangelands, pastures, wetlands, waterways and forests. In addition, they have caused ecological and societal impacts [2]. Alien insects are more than 30% of all other alien species introduced into Italy and represent one of the most important environmental worries as they are con- sidered one of the major causes of loss of biodiversity. More than 60% of these alien insects have a negative impact on economic and human health. However, their impact on cultural heritage and on landscape is still underestimated [3, 4]. Alien insect and landscape The number of new records of alien species increases continuously, with a marked acceleration in recent decades.
