Surfactants have been historically used for cleaning artifacts, but it was only in the last decades that serendipitous approaches were replaced by research in the field of soft matter and colloid science. Surfactants are components of nanostructured fluids, which were assessed for the removal of soil and aged coatings from paintings and are fundamental in processes that range from the inclusion of grime in micelles to the swelling and dewetting o…
Dulwich college and 17th century collecting in London
This study aimed to investigate the gastroprotective effect of chlorogenic acid (CGA) against Indomethacin (IND)-induced gastric ulcer (GU) in rats and its underlying mechanism, especially through autophagic and apoptotic pathways.Seventy-five rats were divided into five groups; control, IND (50 mg/kg, p.o.), CGA (100 mg/kg, p.o., 14 days), IND pretreated with CGA (50 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg, p.o., 14 days). The stomach tissues were examined to calcul…
Thefts from museums in Africa
Although England has been experiencing major floods dating back thousands of years, the hazard is increasing in frequency and intensity, exacerbated by climate risks with potentially serious consequences. Despite attempts to mitigate climate risks (manifested via recurrent flooding) in line with international disaster risk reduction agendas, the impacts/effects of floods continue to increase in England. This is partly due to negligence in inculca…

Architecture
Vernacular architecture has been an inspiration for innovations in environmental and socio-economically sustainable design and planning. Especially in traditional housing, the intended climatic and environmental solutions within sustainable design have already been achieved by local implementations. In this sense, as the important examples on vernacular architecture, traditional Erzurum houses are examined in the scope of this work. Thus, ecologi…

Cultural terrorism
It has become increasingly commonplace to exhibit antiques and historical artefacts in cultural museums, prompted by the flourishing global art market. However, behind the phenomenon of blockbuster exhibitions in leading tourism cities throughout the world, lies the problem of looted cultural heritage. This study proposes a research framework combining conceptual and empirical approaches. The authors explore the previously neglected concerns of l…
World of museums
The task of rebuilding a city after war-time destruction can take many forms. In addition to the obvious signs of refurbishment and new buildings, there are more subtle forms of renewal involving a re-creation of the city’s identity and changes to its inhabitants’ views of the world. For Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia and Hercegovina, the cessation of the struggle for control of the city, involving various ethnic groups in the former Yugoslavia, has…

Thesaurus and the tracing of cultural property
This article introduces the Special Issue on Risk Protection for Cultural Heritage and Historic Centres. The article starts by reviewing the gaps in knowledge and practice related to disaster risk management of cultural heritage. It then reviews the contributions to the Special Issue, focussing on their multi-disciplinary findings that address some of the referred gaps. Finally, the article proceeds to discuss, in more detail, certain topics rela…

The deluge systems on two industrial LPG tanks (of 50 and 60 tonnes capacity) plus that on a “full scale” experimental facility (nominal 13 tonne tank) have been evaluated in terms of the water distribution produced on the tank surface. The water distributions have been characterised in terms of water film depths and surface water flow rates at a number of locations across the tank surface using techniques described previously by Davies and Nolan…

Peter Mark Roget (1779–1869) is best known for his Thesaurus, a project completed late in his long life. He trained as a physician, practiced medicine, and was interested in many branches of science. Much of his life was dedicated to the systematization of knowledge and identifying relationships. Although not an experimentalist in the modern sense of the word, he contributed to “neuroscience” in journal and encyclopaedia articles, as well as in b…
Loot, legitimacy and ownership
Connoisseurship and picture framing in the 1990s
Painted during the first half of 1791, Henri-Pierre Danloux’s Portrait of the Baron de Besenval (Figure 1) depicts the elderly collector in the Salon de Compagnie of his Paris h&d surrounded by his paintings and oriental porcelain. These paintings are hung on green damask-the preferred background in l&h-century France-and thanks to his meticulously finished style, the frames can be studied in some detail. But just how reliable, as a document, is …

This paper follows two earlier papers about Portuguese gesso gilding grounds, a typical decoration from the 13th to the 18th century but with a special focus on the Baroque period. It concentrates on understanding the reasons why these gilded surfaces are so durable. The main concerns of the people involved in the production of the gilded surfaces, as revealed in contemporary historical documents, are the quality and durability of the decorations…
