Raman Microspectroscopic Imaging of Binder Remnants in Historical Mortars Reveals Processing Conditions
Binder remnants in historical mortars represent a record of the connection between the raw materials that enter the kiln, the process parameters, and the end product of the calcination. Raman microspectroscopy combines high structural sensitivity with micrometre to sub-micrometre spatial resolution and compatibility with conventional thin-sectional samples in an almost unique fashion, making it an interesting complementary extension of the existi…

ESL Reading
U The term schema refers to the mental organization of an individual's past experience (Bartlett, 1932). Schema theory, based on the psycholinguistic model of reading (Coady, 1979), views reading as an interaction between the readers' background knowledge and the reading text. As Pearson-Casanave (1984) points out, the text does not carry meaning; it provides clues that enable readers to construct meaning from existing knowledge. The text activat…
