    Checklist of Anniversary Acquisitions As of August 1, 2002 Note to the Reader The works of art illustrated in color in the preceding pages represent a selection of the objects in the exhibition Gifts in Honor of the 125th Anniversary of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The Checklist that follows includes all of the Museum’s anniversary acquisitions, not just those in the exhibition. The Checklist has been organized by geography (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America) and within each continent by broad category (Costume and Textiles; Decorative Arts; Paintings; Prints, Drawings, and Photographs; Sculpture). Within each category, works of art are listed chronologically. An asterisk indicates that an object is illustrated in black and white in the Checklist. Page references are to color plates. For gifts of a collection numbering more than forty objects, an overview of the contents of the collection is provided in lieu of information about each individual object. Certain gifts have been the subject of separate exhibitions with their own catalogues. In such instances, the reader is referred to the section For Further Reading.

Method: The materials used in the study were: 1) Macor, (Precision Ceramics UK) 2) BioMinF: 500gm of glass frit (Cera Dynamics Ltd, UK) and 3) Sylc: Sylc 45S5 glass (Velopex International, UK). An AquaCare Air Abrasion & Polishing System (Velopex) with a hand piece with a 0.8 mm diameter tip was used with a 2mm thick Macor sheet with a feed rate of 1 and an air pressure of 2 bar. The BioMinF glass was milled for 45 seconds in five batches each containing 100 gm of BioMinF frit using a milling machine (Gy-Ro Mill, Glen Creston, and London). The angular particles produced were separated using different sieves to produce <38 micron, 38-63 microns, 63-80 microns, 80-125 microns and 125-250 microns particle size(s) respectively.

    Presentación De Powerpoint

    Touch Panel The touch panel is an input device, so it needs to be combined with a display and a PC or other device to make a complete touch input system. This is the main structure. • Cover Lens - Can be made of composed of glass, PET, PC or other plastic film. This primarily serves to protect the touch sensor and act as an electrical insulator, though it can also be a functional part of the product, in the case of resistive technology. • Touch Sensor - this is wear the circuity for the touch screen is located and it acts to collect and process the touch signal • Controller - The controller connects between the touch sensor and the PCB. It takes information from the touch sensor and translates it into information that the PCB can understand and act on. • COF - The controller can be located on a chip mounted on the product’s FPC (this is known as Chip on Film – or COF). • COB - The controller can also be on a separate PCB (known as COB – Chip on Board). • Software Drivers - The driver allows the touchscreen and PCB to work together. It tells the computer’s OS how to interpret the touch information that is sent from the controller. Most touch screen drivers today are a mouse emulation type - this makes touching the screen the same as clicking your mouse at the same location on the screen. This allows the touchscreen to work with existing software eases application development costs and lead times. • FPC - a flat printed circuit cable (FPC or FFC) that is used to send data from the screen to the controller, or the display to the board.

Arregui 1,2 1 Department of Electric, Electronic and Communications Engineering, Public University of Navarra, E-31006 Pamplona, Spain; [email protected] (C.E.); [email protected] (J.M.C.); [email protected] (F.J.A.) 2 Institute of Smart Cities (ISC), Public University of Navarra, E-31006 Pamplona, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-948-166-044 Received: 21 December 2018; Accepted: 23 January 2019; Published: 31 January 2019 Abstract: Due to the risks that water contamination implies for human health and environmental protection, monitoring the quality of water is a major concern of the present era. Therefore, in recent years several efforts have been dedicated to the development of fast, sensitive, and selective sensors for the detection of heavy metal ions. In particular, fluorescent sensors have gained in popularity due to their interesting features, such as high specificity, sensitivity, and reversibility. Thus, this review is devoted to the recent advances in fluorescent sensors for the monitoring of these contaminants, and special focus is placed on those devices based on fluorescent aptasensors, quantum dots, and organic dyes. Keywords: heavy metal ions; fluorescent sensors; fluorescent aptasensors; quantum dots; organic dyes 1. Introduction Monitoring the presence of contaminants in water is of general interest in order to ensure the quality of surface, ground, and drinking water [1,2]. Among the several water pollutants, such as plastic or waste [3], chemical fertilizers or pesticides [4], and pathogens [5], heavy metal ions are known for their high toxicity [6].
