Paul Getty Museum and the Italian Ministry of Culture in 2007, a number of fruitful collaborative projects with Italian institutions have been under- taken. The most immediately visible have been the loan of objects, such as the Chimaera of Arezzo (Florence, Museo Archeologico Nazionale), for display in a special exhibition at the Getty Villa and the long-term loan of the Ephebe from the Via dell’Abbondanza (Naples, Museo Arche- ologico Nazionale).1 Other projects have utilized the Getty Museum’s resources and expertise in the field of antiquities conservation to the benefit of both parties. One of the first of these was the treatment of the bronze Apollo Saettante from Pompeii (Naples, Museo Archeologico Nazio- nale). Long off display, owing to a failed join at its right ankle, and dangerously burdened by the restored bronze drapery that hung from its arms, this statue came from Naples to the Getty Villa in March 2009 for study and conservation. Over the next eighteen months the Apollo under- went a full analysis in order to ascertain the technique of its ancient manufacture, any alterations due to its destruction and burial at Pompeii, and evidence of restorations after the discovery of its fragments in 1817 and 1818. The findings of this study guided the conservation project at the Getty Museum, which resulted in a new, secure repair to the right ankle, and the removal of the existing drapery ends and their replacement with lightweight modern materials modeled after early drawings of the statue. Following the cleaning of the statue’s surface, the Apollo appears today as it was seen in the Real Museo Borbonico in Naples after its early- nineteenth-century restoration. On completion of the conservation project, the Apollo was the centerpiece in the exhibi- tion, Apollo from Pompeii: Investigating an Ancient Bronze (March 2–September 12, 2011), which presented the story of the statue’s discovery, its ancient manufacture, and its nineteenth-century restorations (fig. 1.1).2 Through the generosity of our colleagues in Naples, the exhibition also fea- tured the Apollo’s sister piece, the bronze Diana (discovered in 1817), and it was possible to study Figure 1.1.

  • Behavior of Mixtures of Heavy Oil Stocks and Waxes
    BEHAVIOR OF MIXTURES OF HEAVY OIL STOCKS AND WAXES A Thesis Submitted to the College of Engineering of Nahrain University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Chemical Engineering by SARMAD KAMAL FAKHRALDEEN (B. Sc. in Chemical Engineering 2004) Thul - Hijjah 1428 December 2007 Abstract Experimental work is carried out to study behavior of mixture of mixing of two types of waxes (paraffin and microcrystalline) and different types of heavy oil (base stock 40, base stock 60, base stock 150, furfural extract 60 and furfural extract 150). The experimental work included the determination of important properties of mixture which are drop point, penetration, and copper corrosion. Also the experimental work included the investigation of the effect of wax weight percentage, wax type and heavy oil type on these properties of mixture. Various types of mixtures were used containing different percentages of waxes and heavy oil. The results revealed that the wax weight percentage and oil type have considerable effect on the drop point, penetration and copper corrosion of mixtures. It is found that increasing wax weight percentage leads to increase in the drop point for all types of mixture. The penetration and copper corrosion are found to decrease with the increase in wax weight percentage. Generally the microcrystalline wax exhibits higher drop point than the paraffin wax. Also the microcrystalline wax gives lower penetration and copper corrosion than paraffin wax in all heavy oil types. The value of drop point of different types of mixtures increases in the following manner for same type of wax and wax weight percentage: base stock oil 40, base stock oil 60, furfural extract oil 60, base stock oil 150 and I furfural extract oil 150, The value of penetration of mixtures and increases in the following manner for same type of wax and wax weight percentage: furfural extract oil 150, base stock oil 150, furfural extract oil 60, base stock oil 60 and base stock oil 40.

  • NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY the Roman Inquisition and the Crypto
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY The Roman Inquisition and the Crypto-Jews of Spanish Naples, 1569-1582 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of History By Peter Akawie Mazur EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2008 2 ABSTRACT The Roman Inquisition and the Crypto-Jews of Spanish Naples, 1569-1582 Peter Akawie Mazur Between 1569 and 1582, the inquisitorial court of the Cardinal Archbishop of Naples undertook a series of trials against a powerful and wealthy group of Spanish immigrants in Naples for judaizing, the practice of Jewish rituals. The immense scale of this campaign and the many complications that resulted render it an exception in comparison to the rest of the judicial activity of the Roman Inquisition during this period. In Naples, judges employed some of the most violent and arbitrary procedures during the very years in which the Roman Inquisition was being remodeled into a more precise judicial system and exchanging the heavy handed methods used to eradicate Protestantism from Italy for more subtle techniques of control. The history of the Neapolitan campaign sheds new light on the history of the Roman Inquisition during the period of its greatest influence over Italian life. Though the tribunal took a place among the premier judicial institutions operating in sixteenth century Europe for its ability to dispense disinterested and objective justice, the chaotic Neapolitan campaign shows that not even a tribunal bearing all of the hallmarks of a modern judicial system-- a professionalized corps of officials, a standardized code of practice, a centralized structure of command, and attention to the rights of defendants-- could remain immune to the strong privatizing tendencies that undermined its ideals.

  • Romanov News Новости Романовых
    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Ludmila & Paul Kulikovsky №114 September 2017 Emperor Nicholas I. Watercolour by Alexander I. Klünder Monument to Emperor Nicholas I unveiled in Czech Republic September 19.TASS - A monument to Emperor Nicholas I (1825-1855) was opened in the spa town of Teplice in the north of the Czech Republic. This was announced by Consul-General of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Karlovy Vary (West Bohemia) Igor Melnik. "The monument to Nicholas I was erected in the very centre of Teplice next to the monuments of Peter the Great and Alexander I," he stressed. "This idea supported by local authorities, was conceived long ago, but was postponed, primarily because of the lack of necessary funds." Monuments to Russian autocrats in Teplice were created by People's Artist of Russia Vladimir Surovtsev. The patrons of the project are the organization of Russian compatriots in the Czech Republic "The Ark-Arch" and the General Consulate of the Russian Federation in Karlovy Vary. Sovereigns from the Romanov dynasty, actively implementing the idea of uniting the Slavs under the sceptre of mighty Russia on the international arena, have forever entered the history of Teplice. The Grand Duke and the future Emperor of Russia Nicholas I twice visited this city: in 1815 at the age of 19, and in 1818, when he turned 22. He took part in laying the foundation and then opening a monument to Russian soldiers who died for Europe's freedom in the struggle against Napoleon. The elder brother of Nicholas I, Emperor Alexander I, arrived in Teplice during the foreign campaigns of the Russian Imperial Army during the Napoleonic wars in 1813.

  • Images of Homeric Manuscripts from the Biblioteca Marciana1
    2008 Annual Conference of CIDOC Athens, September 15 – 18, 2008 Christopher W. Blackwell IMAGES OF HOMERIC MANUSCRIPTS FROM THE BIBLIOTECA MARCIANA1 Christopher W. Blackwell Classics University or Organization: Furman University Address: 3300 Poinsett Highway Greenville, SC 29609 USA E-Mail: [email protected] URL: http://chs.harvard.edu/chs/homer_multitext Abstract This paper describes the manuscript Marcianus Graecus Z.454 (=822), the “Venetus A” and the work of capturing high-resolution digital images of its folios. The manuscripts is a masterpiece of 9th Century “information technology”, combing a primary text, the Homeric Iliad, with secondary texts in the form of scholiastic notes, and other metadata in the form of critical signs. Thus the images of this manuscript provide wide access to an invaluable window into two millennia of the history of the Homeric tradition. INTRODUCTION In May of 2007 an international team of Classicists, conservators, photographers, and imaging experts came together in the Biblioteca Marciana—the Library of St. Mark—in Venice, in order to bring to light a cultural treasure that had been hidden away for over 100 years. The Venetus A manuscript of the Iliad (Marcianus Gr. Z. 454 [=822]), the 1 The following paper is about a collaborative project, of which I am one of four primary editors. We have worked together to produce a number of presentations and publications connected to the project over the past year, including the forthcoming book: Recapturing a Homeric Legacy: Images and Insights from the Venetus A Manuscript of the Iliad. For this reason, this paper should be considered to be co-authored by Casey Dué, Mary Ebbott, and Neel Smith.

  • The Business Organisation of the Bourbon Factories
    The Business Organization of the Bourbon Factories: Mastercraftsmen, Crafts, and Families in the Capodimonte Porcelain Works and the Royal Factory at San Leucio Silvana Musella Guida Without exaggerating what was known as the “heroic age” of the reign of Charles of Bourbon of which José Joaquim de Montealegre was the undisputed doyen, and without considering the controversial developments of manufacturing in Campania, I should like to look again at manufacturing under the Bourbons and to offer a new point of view. Not only evaluating its development in terms of the products themselves, I will consider the company's organization and production strategies, points that are often overlooked, but which alone can account for any innovative capacity and the willingness of the new government to produce broader-ranging results.1 The two case studies presented here—the porcelain factory at Capodimonte (1740-1759) and the textile factory in San Leucio (1789-1860)—though from different time periods and promoted by different governments, should be considered sequentially precisely because of their ability to impose systemic innovations.2 The arrival of the new sovereign in the company of José Joaquin de Montealegre, led to an activism which would have a lasting effect.3 The former was au fait with economic policy strategy and the driving force of a great period of economic modernization, and his repercussions on the political, diplomatic and commercial levels provide 1 For Montealegre, cf. Raffaele Ajello, “La Parabola settecentesca,” in Il Settecento, edited by Giovanni Pugliese Carratelli (Naples, 1994), 7-79. For a synthesis on Bourbon factories, cf.

Meglinski January 2008 This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Cranfield University 2008. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner. ii Abstract The study of flow dynamics in complex geometry vessels is highly important in many biomedical applications where the knowledge of the mechanic interactions between the moving fluid and the housing media plays a key role for the determination of the parameters of interest, including the effect of blood flow on the possible rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. Doppler Optical Coherence Tomography (DOCT) is an optic, non-contact, non-invasive technique able to achieve detailed analysis of the flow/vessel interactions, allowing simultaneously high resolution imaging of the morphology and composition of the vessel and of the flow velocity distribution along the measured cross-section. DOCT system was developed to image high-resolution one-dimensional and multi-dimensional velocity distribution profiles of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids flowing in vessels with complex geometry, including Y-shaped and T-shaped vessels, vessels with aneurism, bifurcated vessels with deployed stent and scaffolds. The phantoms were built to study the interaction of the flow dynamics with different channel geometries and to map the related velocity profiles at several inlet volume flow rates.

Famous architects of that time participated in con- struction and creation of the architectural image of Saint A. S. Pushkin, a fragment from the poem Petersburg. Among them were: George Mattarnovi, “The Bronze Horseman” Jean-Baptiste Le Blond, Domenico Trezzini, and Giaco- mo Quarenghi. In the course of its existence, the city changed its name three times. At the beginning of the World War I (1914) it became Petrograd. In 1924 it was renamed Leningrad in honor of V. I. Lenin at the workers’ initia- tive. In 1991 the historical name of Saint Petersburg was given back to the city.
