During the 2009 field season of the joint mission of the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (National Museum of Antiquities) at Leiden, the Netherlands and Leiden University (Faculty of Humanities, Department of Egyptology) a small Ramesside tomb-chapel was unearthed in the New Kingdom necropolis at Saqqara (1550-1070 BC), south of the causeway of Unas. The tomb-chapel belonged to a man named Tatia, Priest of the front of Ptah and Chief of the Goldsmiths. By studying the reliefs as well as the architecture and by comparing the tomb with other Ramesside tombs at Saqqara and elsewhere, an attempt was made to establish a more precise dating of the monument. Recent research has resulted in new insights on Tatia and his career, signs of private devotion and familial relationships. It appears Tatia was a relative of two other well-known New Kingdom officials, one whose important tomb was also built at Saqqara, the other a vizier and 'High Priest of Amun' in Thebes. In July we welcome, Ilona Regulski, the curator responsible for the papyrus collection and other inscribed material in the collection at the British Museum.

  • Water Quality Assessment Report for United Keno Hill Mines
    WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR UNITED KENO HILL MINES Report Prepared for: Elsa Reclamation and Development Company Whitehorse, Yukon Report Prepared by: Minnow Environmental Inc. 2 Lamb Street Georgetown, Ontario L7G 3M9 July 2008 WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR UNITED KENO HILL MINES Report Prepared for: Elsa Reclamation and Development Company Whitehorse, Yukon Report Prepared by: Minnow Environmental Inc. Cynthia Russel, B.Sc. Project Manager Patti Orr, M.Sc. Technical Reviewer July 2008 ERDC Water Quality Assessment EXECUTIVE SUMMARY United Keno Hill Mines Limited and UKH Minerals Ltd. were the previous owners of the properties located on and around Galena Hill, Keno Hill, and Sourdough Hill collectively known as the United Keno Hill Mining Property (UKHM). The UKHM is located in north- central Yukon Territory and is comprised of approximately 827 mineral claims covering the three mountains (“hills” named above) over an area of approximately 15,000 ha (about 29 km long and 8 km wide). Associated with the site are abandoned adits, buildings/structures, and waste material which represent a source of contaminants to the downstream watersheds. In June 2005, Alexco Resource Corp was selected as the preferred purchaser of the UKHM assets. Alexco’s subsidiary Elsa Reclamation and Development Company (ERDC) is required to develop a Reclamation Plan for the Existing State of the Mine. As part of the closure planning process, long-term water quality performance will need to be assessed relative to relevant water uses and closure plan options. It is expected that historical sources associated with the UKHM may not allow for generic water quality guidelines to be achieved at all downstream locations and that alternative targets may need to be developed, depending on water use goals.

Hence, they should be preserved from the different factors that might cause harm for their wall paintings. One of these factors is the excessive relative humidity as it increases the bacteria and fungus activity inside the tomb in addition to its effect on the mechanical and physical properties of materials. This chapter describes the Research work to design ventilation systems to some of these important tombs. The chapter aims to investigate, design, and implement controlled climate to the tombs of the valley of kings with complete monitoring of air properties, temperature, relative humidity and carbon oxides and air quality parameters mechanical distributions inside selected tombs of the valley of the kings that are open for visitors. A complete climate control and monitoring of air will be effected with the aid of a mechanical ventilation system extracting air at designated locations in the wooden raised floor of the tombs.

    --~------- minnowenvironmental inc. _____ 2 Lamb Street Georgetown, Ontario L7G 3M9 Memorandum To: Dan Cornett, Access Consulting Group From: Cynthia Russel, Minnow Environmental Inc. Date: February 13, 2008-02-13 Re: Update of Surface Water Quality Assessment for United Keno Hill Mine Complex. Minnow Environmental Inc. (Minnow) was retained by Access Consulting Group to undertake an assessment of the existing water quality data for the United Keno Hill Mine Complex (United Keno, Galena and Sourdough Hill). The objective of this assessment was to identify parameters and locations of concern within the downstream waters relative to established guidelines and background. This information, combined with toxicity data and watershed use objectives may then be combined to develop an approach for considering the development of Site Specific Water Quality Objectives (SSWQO) for various parameters and locations. In order to meet the study objectives, a progressive assessment of the available water quality data was undertaken which included the following steps; • Screen all data to identify outliers (i.e., those greater then 3 standard deviations from the mean) and remove these data. • Establish the background concentration for each parameter based the upper limit of background data distribution (mean + t S.D.) for the combined data from KV-1 and KV-37. UKH Surface Water Quality Assessment - Progress Report • Identify parameters with high method detection limits relative to guidelines which preclude determination of whether concentrations exceed the guideline. • Identify background concentrations which exceed the Canadian Water Quality Guidelines (CWQG). • Determine the median, mean, minimum and maximum concentration for each parameter at each location. • Determine which locations exceed background and/or CWQG at measurable (10%) and substantial (50%) frequencies.

  • Expanding the Toolkit for Metabolic Engineering
    Expanding the Toolkit for Metabolic Engineering Yao Zong (Andy) Ng Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Yao Zong (Andy) Ng All rights reserved ABSTRACT Expanding the Toolkit for Metabolic Engineering Yao Zong (Andy) Ng The essence of metabolic engineering is the modification of microbes for the overproduction of useful compounds. These cellular factories are increasingly recognized as an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective way to convert inexpensive and renewable feedstocks into products, compared to traditional chemical synthesis from petrochemicals. The products span the spectrum of specialty, fine or bulk chemicals, with uses such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, flavors and fragrances, agrochemicals, biofuels and building blocks for other compounds. However, the process of metabolic engineering can be long and expensive, primarily due to technological hurdles, our incomplete understanding of biology, as well as redundancies and limitations built into the natural program of living cells. Combinatorial or directed evolution approaches can enable us to make progress even without a full understanding of the cell, and can also lead to the discovery of new knowledge. This thesis is focused on addressing the technological bottlenecks in the directed evolution cycle, specifically de novo DNA assembly to generate strain libraries and small molecule product screens and selections. In Chapter 1, we begin by examining the origins of the field of metabolic engineering. We review the classic “design–build–test–analyze” (DBTA) metabolic engineering cycle and the different strategies that have been employed to engineer cell metabolism, namely constructive and inverse metabolic engineering.

  • The West Valley May Harbor Two Impressive King Tombs, but It Is a Poor Cousin to the Valley of the Kings
    Copyright © 2021 Michael J. Marfleet Published July 2nd, 2021 The West Valley may harbor two impressive king tombs, but it is a poor cousin to the Valley of the Kings. It will likely remain so. II. The West Valley 'Valley of the Aten' by MICHAEL J MARFLEET To date six 'tombs' have been discovered in the West Valley, (Figs. 1 & 2): KV22 - The extensive king tomb of Amenhotep III; KV23 - The king tomb of Ay, fore- shortened and perhaps half the size it was originally intended to be; KV24 - A pit/shaft 'tomb' located between the entrances to KV23 & KV25; KV25 - An un- finished king tomb never used for a king burial; KV65* and KVA, pit/shaft 'tombs' intended to house the sacred refuse from mummification and the funer- ary feast, (Technical Essay 1 appearing November 5th). The only two kings known to have been buried in the valley were both closely associated with the monotheistic Aten faith. Could the West Valley have been a separate necropolis set-aside exclus- ively for those of monotheistic belief; ie: the royals of the AMARNA Period? Amenhotep III and his father, Tuthmosis IV represent the earliest and Ay the latest of the pharaohs most directly associated with the Aten faith. The inter- vening kings, Amenhotep IV, Tutankhamun and Smenkhkare (Fig. 3), were buried elsewhere - Amenhotep IV in the Royal Wadi at Akhetaten (Fig. 4), and Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings (VoK). The whereabouts of the tomb of Smenkhkare, indeed the very existence of this king, remains a mystery, (Essay V, August 13th).
