An on--demand beam pulsing system is useful for the PIXE analysis of delicate objectS. IXX (or PIXE--induced XRF) is more suitable than PIXE in terms of damage to the sample. Some new PIXE and IXX applications of archaeological paper--like samples in recent years are given.展开更多

They provide a wealth evidence and precise information regarding ancient civilizations and cultures. The safeguarding of this cultural heritage is one of the most urgent priorities, that involve the proper conservation and preservation methods of all artifacts and buildings that have an important artistic and historic value. Conservation is a whole field in regarding the care and treatment of valuable artifacts, both movable and immovable. It has two aspects： （1） the control of the environment--to minimize the decay of artifacts and materials and （2） the treatment of these--in order to stop or slow down any deterioration and to stabilize them where possible against further dilapidation. The museum environment is a limited space dedicated not only to exhibition but also to the appropriate conservation of works of art. This article presents an overview of the types of damage and deterioration that air pollution causes to indoor cultural heritage materials and monuments. It identifies the main damaging air pollutants from outdoor sources to be sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone and sulphide gases.展开更多

Walter Benjamin＇s untitled poem illuminates love and blessing through artistic images, as in Giorgio de Chirico＇s painting, The Song of Love （1914）. Love in London is somehow a dream-like image--a surreal illusion of love, which stays in the viewer＇s mind as a poem of colours, representing etemity. Virginia Woolf＇s Night andDay says it better, when Mary walks into the British Museum and gazes at the Elgin Marbles, thinking how much she is in love with Ralph. John Keats＇ ＂On Seeing the Elgin Marbles＂ also depicts the way in which a gaze of love could be an eternal moment of aesthetic ecstasy .展开更多
