  • Study of the Patinas of an Outdoor Bronze Statue “Cesare Augusto” in Brindisi (Southern Italy)

    Open AccessGiovanni Buccolieri, A Serra et al.ARTICLEHeritage2026

    The aim of this paper is the analysis of the main elements of the patinas of an outdoor bronze monument by using portable energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) equipment designed and assembled at the University of Salento. Thanks to the versatility of the ED-XRF portable apparatus, we carried out a scan based on a limited set of measurements that was representative of the studied surface of the monument before the restoration in a relativ…

  • A encruzilhada do cacau na Amazônia brasileira

    Open AccessDaniel Palma Perez Braga, Carla Giovana Souza Rocha et al.ARTICLENovos Cadernos NAEA2025

    A economia do cacau/chocolate está em alta, juntamente com as narrativas de sustentabilidade e a expansão da cacauicultura em monocultivos, em detrimento dos sistemas agroflorestais com cacau (SAF-cacau). No entanto, suas consequências ainda são pouco debatidas. Quais as implicações para o desenvolvimento territorial sustentável baseado nas agriculturas familiares da Amazônia brasileira? Sob a compreensão paradigmática de SAF-cacau como modalidad…

  • Determining Gold Thickness in Multilayer Samples by Measuring the Intensity Ratio of the Au-Lα/Fe-Kα X-Ray

    Open AccessGiovanni Buccolieri, Roberto Cesareo et al.ARTICLEHeritage2025References: 1

    Multilayer samples are used in a wide range of sectors for their functionality. In the field of cultural heritage, multilayer samples are also common, as in the case of gilded or silvered alloys in the pigment layers in paintings. The X-ray ratios Lα/Lβ, Kα/Kβ, or K/L for an element or for different elements in a multilayer sample depend on the chemical composition and thickness of the superimposed layers and on the chemical composition and thick…

  • In Situ Investigation of the Medieval Copper Alloy Door in Troia (Southern Italy)

    Open AccessGiovanni Buccolieri, A Serra et al.ARTICLEHeritage2023Cited by: 1References: 2

    This work describes experimental results concerning the chemical composition of the alloy patina and inlays from the medieval copper alloy door of the cathedral of Troia (southern Italy), dating back to 1127 CE. The analyses were conducted in situ with no sampling or sample preparation required, using a portable energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) instrument. The compositional results show that the two door leaves were made using a bina…

  • Mortar Characterization and Radiocarbon Dating as Support for the Restoration Work of the Abbey of Santa Maria di Cerrate (Lecce, South Italy)

    Open AccessGiovanna Vasco, A Serra et al.ARTICLEHeritage2022References: 2

    During the restoration work promoted by the FAI foundation (Fondo Ambiente Italiano) of the abbey of Santa Maria di Cerrate (Lecce, Apulia, South Italy), multidisciplinary analyses have been realized to support conservators and art historians for the safeguard and valorization of the most important byzantine evidence (12th–13th century) in Apulia. In this paper, mortar samples have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX) an…

  • Non-Destructive In Situ Investigation of the Study of a Medieval Copper Alloy Door in Canosa di Puglia (Southern Italy)

    Open AccessGiovanni Buccolieri, Alfredo Castellano et al.ARTICLEHeritage2022Cited by: 3References: 3

    This paper reports the analyses carried out on the medieval copper alloy door (1111–1118 AD) of the mausoleum of Boemondo d’Altavilla in Canosa di Puglia (Southern Italy). The studied door is the smallest medieval bronze door extant in Italy and, unlike the other Byzantine doors, was most probably made in Canosa di Puglia and not in Constantinople. Analyses were performed to assess the chemical composition of the alloy patinas using a portable en…

  • Política Nacional de Atenção Integral a Saúde de Adolescentes Privados de Liberdade

    Open AccessHenrique Bezerra Perminio, Juliana Rezende Melo Da Silva et al.ARTICLECiência & Saúde Coletiva2018

    A efetivação do direito à saúde de adolescentes e jovens privados de liberdade no Brasil é tarefa complexa que nos coloca frente às iniquidades em saúde e às intervenções sobre seus determinantes sociais. Sendo assim, o presente estudo buscou contribuir com a discussão sobre o direito à saúde dessa população, a partir da análise da implementação da Política de Atenção Integral à Saúde de Adolescentes em Conflito com a Lei (PNAISARI). Trata-se de …

  • A Comparative Study of Pottery from Mersin-Yumuktepe and Arslantepe, Turkey

    Open AccessAlessandro Buccolieri, Gianluca Bozzetti et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Discovery2015

    The purpose of this paper is to present a summary of the application of non-destructive techniques used in a comparative study of eighty pottery fragments of the Chalcolithic period (5000 BC ca.) and Late Bronze Age (1650 - 1200 BC ca.), found in Mersin-Yumuktepe (Southern Turkey) and Arslantepe (Malatya, Eastern Turkey). The use of a scanning electron microscopy, equipped with a system of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), has allow…

  • Nondestructive Analysis of Silver Coins Minted in Taras (South Italy) between the V and the III Centuries BC

    Open AccessAlessandro Buccolieri, Giovanni Buccolieri et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeology2014

    This work enters in an interdisciplinary research project involving the archaeometrical analysis of ancient silver coins minted in the Greek colony of Taras (the modern south Italian town of Taranto) between the V century BC and the III century BC. In this work, by comparing the results obtained from X-ray microanalysis data acquired from the least corroded surface areas and the cross-section of coins from SEM-EDX and from XRF analysis, we have d…

  • The rare allele SOD-A 2 in the Italian population

    Open AccessN Crosti, A Serra et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1976

    Data are reported on the distribution of SOD-A electrophoretic phenotypes in the Italian population, and on the concentration of SODA-A-2-1 phenotype in a family group of a small village. The frequency of the rate allele SOD-A(2) is estimated and compared with the frequency in other populations. By applying a model of population dynamics for rare neutral genes estimates are derived of the mean first arrival time and mean age, in generations, of S…
