Full textAbstract:
Drinking vessels provide information on changes in drinking practices, crafting, exchange patterns, rituals, and the creation of status differences in Chacoan society. They reveal a gradual sequence of change in vessel forms, followed by dramatic intensification of drinking activity in the AD 1000s that provided opportunities for differentiation among Chaco residents, particularly at Pueblo Bonito. Termination of the most iconic drinking vessel form, the cylinder vessel, and the rituals surrounding it around AD 1100 was followed by the introduction of a northern drinking vessel form. Careful reconstruction of the production, consumption, and discard practices associated with drinking vessels provides the means for understanding broader processes in the Chaco world.

Full textAbstract:
The ceramic industry is among the most profitable industries in the world, but, because of the use of nonrenewable materials and high fuel consumption, it also has a carbon footprint. Ceramic materials account for the majority of drinking vessels. Several scholars found that consumers’ awareness of drinks and purchasing desires are highly correlated with a vessel’s shape and color—in other words, the visual stimulation. However, since prior studies have focused on alcohol, bubble drinks, juice, coffee, cocoa, etc., there has rarely been any research on the appropriate drinking vessels for Chinese tea. This study intends to investigate the visual design of vessels for Chinese tea, in terms of its impact on the taste of the drink, by integrating the thinking and methods of expert users and designers for the sustainability of design and industry. In this study, tea experts and designers were asked for their opinions as a means of data collection. Fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (Fs/QCA) was used for data analysis. This study proved that the design of a tea-drinking vessel could have an influence on the perception of the taste and scent of the tea. This research not only brings new meaning to the traditional concept of teacup design, but also reflects famous Japanese craftsman Liu Zongyue’s idea of practical beauty, which is beneficial to promoting Chinese tea culture, and contributes to sustainable design and sustainable behavior.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to compare the water quality of piped-to-plot source water with point-of-drinking water in the households of a low-income urban area in Bangladesh. A total of 430 low-income households and 78 communal sources connected to these households were selected from the East Arichpur area of Dhaka. The water samples were collected from point-of-drinking vessels (household members’ preferred drinking vessels i.e., a mug, glass, or bottle) in households and from linked sources at six-week intervals between September 2014 and December 2015. Water samples were processed using standard membrane filtration and culture methods to quantify E. coli. Analysis of paired data from source and point-of-drinking water collected on the same day showed that fecal contamination increased from source to point-of-drinking water in the households in 51% (626/1236) of samples. Comparison between bottles vs. other wide-mouth vessels (i.e., glasses, mugs, jugs) showed significantly lower odds (p = 0.000, OR = 0.58, (0.43–0.78)) of fecal contamination compared to other drinking vessels. The findings suggest that recontamination and post-treatment contamination at the point of drinking play a significant role in water contamination in households. Hygiene education efforts in the future should target the promotion of narrow-mouth drinking vessels to reduce contamination.

Full textAbstract:
Wine has an indispensable position in the ancient national food culture. Among them, wine vessels, as material carriers, are the core of ancient national wine culture, reflecting social functions, plastic arts, craft production, customs, habits, etc., and therefore are also the concrete expression of spiritual and institutional culture. Ancient ethnic traditional drinking vessels are not only a comprehensive manifestation of the precious material cultural heritage but also of the ancient spiritual culture of the nation. Through the study of the representational design and cultural characteristics of ancient ethnic traditional drinking vessels and the aesthetic tendencies they reflect, we can see the unique philosophy of life and the spiritual reverence of ancient peoples. Although these traditional ancient ethnic drinking vessels are now gradually marginalized and some have completely withdrawn from the historical stage, their spiritual and cultural value has increased rather than decreased. This paper explores the representational design and cultural characteristics of ancient traditional drinking vessels and the aesthetic tendencies they reflect and analyzes the correlation between them using ML methods and semiotic theory, to get a glimpse of the unique talent and wisdom of the ancients in aesthetic creation and gain new design inspiration from them.

Full textAbstract:
The elusive Hittite cultic phrase DINGIR eku-, “to drink a god,” has long been controversial as regards its precise meaning: Did the phrase refer to a mystical act (comparable to the Eucharist), or was it simply a turn of phrase for toasting the divine? Commentators have thus far remained almost exclusively on philological ground, drawing their conclusions from syntactic arguments and paying little attention to archaeological evidence. This paper offers a new approach to the question of ‘god-drinking’ by focusing primarily on its paraphernalia, namely the vessels themselves, particularly those that are zoomorphic (BIBRU in Hittite texts). The evaluation of zoomorphic vessels centres on the early second millennium forerunners of Hittite BIBRU, namely the large and varied repertoire of the kārum period (20th–17th century b.c.),1 which is exceptionally well-represented at the site of Kültepe-Kaneš/Neša. Also included in the discussion are anthropomorphic vessels and their potential place in cultic drinking. Situating zoomorphic (and anthropomorphic) ritual vessels as part of a continuous tradition throughout the second millennium thus offers a wider scope for understanding their use in the Hittite cult, and their specific function(s) in relation to god-drinking.

Full textAbstract:
Based on the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (the Ballast Water Management Convention, or BWM Convention) of the International Maritime Organization, from 8 September 2017, all ships must have an approved Ballast Water Management Treatment System (BWTS) to prevent the invasion of alien species through the discharge of ballast. Generally speaking, the need for an approved BWTS is limited to large vessels, as they are too large or too expensive for small vessels to install. This study aims to propose a simple ballast-free approach for small vessels (e.g., tugs, workboats, research vessels) that require ballast to compensate for the weight loss of fuel when sailing. Our approach involves refitting the dedicated ballast tank of these small vessels to be drinking water tanks and filling the tanks with onboard-generated distilled or reverse osmosis water to adjust the stability of the ships. We assessed our approach using three vessels. Two ships using our proposed method were certified by the American Bureau of Shipping as containing no ballast water tank, and not being subject to the BWM Convention. This study provides an environmentally harmless, easy to use, and economical approach for small vessels to comply with the BWM Convention.

This study aims to present a part of the already evaluated Late Roman glazed pottery record from Aquincum and, thus, provide a typological classification based on our current knowledge. It is important to note that the present study does not include the complete – mostly fragmentary – ceramic record, comprising thousands of objects, but focuses only on eighty artefacts representing traditional types. The current evaluation concerns vessel types used on a daily basis: containers (jugs, pitchers, and bottles), serving (bowls) and drinking vessels (mugs, cups, drinking cups), mortaria, and simple lamp variants. In addition to presenting the finds, the study provides a brief general survey of glazed pottery and other Late Roman ceramic vessel types with lead glazing. In addition to presenting the finds, the study provides a brief general survey of glazed pottery and other Late Roman ceramic vessel types with optional glazing.

In the first step of the project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) three UF pilot systems (about 10 m3/h) were evaluated for drinking water treatment of reservoir water. In the second step a 150 m3/h pilot plant with 12 6 m long pressure vessels was installed in the waterworks of Roetgen. One of the unique features of the pilot is, that the inlet and outlet flows of every pressure vessel are monitored. Further on a particle counter is installed. With this particle counter the filtrate of every pressure vessel can be monitored automatically by switching magnetic valves.

Clearly defined are two spheres: the human banquet, in which men and women are holding drinking vessel offered to them by their servants, and libation scenes showing cult personnel and other persons pouring a libation before their gods. Handwashing, which would have preceded banquets and libations, does not seem to be represented in visual imagery.

A new drinking vessel, called kantharos throughout the present article, was produced in the Geto-Dacian work shops starting with the second century B.C., following direct contacts with fine pottery from Asia Minor and the Pontus. A lot of ca. 1100 such items were discovered in the settlement from Brad (Bacău County) during the archaeological excavations performed between 1963 and 1984. In the site’s monograph V. Ursachi stated that Greek and then Roman shapes were imitated in the local work shops, but he made no explicit connection between the imitations and the originals presumed as models for the first. The comparative study of the Asia Minor and Pontus drinking vessels and those discovered in Brad with locally produced kantharoi reveals possible models and helps determine the start of local production.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractTraditionally, cups have been the primary artifact through which beverage consumption has been inferred or defined, regardless of the numerous other artifacts that may be involved in beverage production, preparation, and service. Conversely, not all cup-shaped artifacts were intended to be used as drinking vessels, nor were all of them necessarily intended to contain a liquid. For the Maya Classic period (a.d.250–900) decorated cylinder vessels in particular, this paper shows that the residues of their former contents do not agree with epigraphers’ interpretations of what have been taken as self-referential statements about their contents and uses. This disparity between expectations and data indicates that we have misunderstood both the vessels and the text, and perhaps that we have failed to recognize one or more classes of vessels. The research presented here suggests that we need to rethink the generally accepted interpretation that all cylinders were drinking vessels and that those that are currently referred to as “chocolate” vessels were never used for the consumption of liquid cacao beverage. These results provide a new context for interpreting the use, function, and purpose of these vessels. Methods drawn from both the natural and social sciences are used to relate archaeological materials, residues of their ancient contents, their hieroglyphic texts, ceramic imagery(/iconography), and past behavior. This diversity of methods accentuates that combining data from all these sources constrains the interpretations of each, and shows that our initial expectations about vessels with hieroglyphic tags have been overly specific. Determining the functions and uses of these vessels is not as simple as we have been supposing, but distinctions that prove to be relevant give us access to more complex systems of cultural practice.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In order to investigate the applicability of granulated coal ash (GCA), a by-product of coal thermal power stations, to freshwater lakes, two incubation experiments (fall and summer experiments) were conducted using large-volume vessels and sediments taken from eutrophic lakes. The phosphorus and nitrogen release fluxes in the vessels with GCA (up to 2.9 mg m−2 d−1 for total phosphorus and 23.9 mg m−2 d−1 for total nitrogen) were considerably smaller than those in the vessels without GCA (up to 8.9 mg m−2 d−1 and 56 mg m−2 d−1, respectively), except in the case of phosphorus in the fall experiment, and thus the phosphorus concentration released from the vessel without GCA under anoxic conditions in the summer experiment was extraordinarily higher (over 1.5 mg l−1) than those in the other vessels (less than 0.31 mg l−1). Supplementary experiments with smaller columns indicated that the chemical effect of GCA was on a similar level with its physical effect and that the threshold phosphorus concentration for removing it was lower in freshwater than seawater. The chromium level slightly exceeded the standard for drinking water and the development of technology to suppress its release is a future challenge.

A simple experiment to demonstrate membrane stresses acting in cylindrical pressure vessels is described in this work. This was accomplished by attaching strain gauges to a drinking can that was, in turn, pressurized using a bicycle pump. Despite the items used being inexpensive and commonly available, the experiment was nonetheless able to produce measurements that were close to that predicted by membrane stress theory. More importantly, it was highly successful in helping students grasp the fundamental concepts of membrane stresses in an experiential manner.

Full textAbstract:
Angiogenesis within an ischemic region of the brain may increase tissue viability and act to limit the extent of an infarct. The ANG II pathway can both stimulate and inhibit angiogenesis depending on the tissue and the activated receptors. Previous work showed that 2-wk losartan administration (ANG II type 1 receptor blockade) initiates a significant cerebral angiogenic response. We hypothesized that administration of losartan in the drinking water of rats for 2 wk before initiation of focal ischemia would decrease the extent of the resulting infarct. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were given losartan (50 mg/day) in drinking water for 2 wk before initiation of cerebral focal ischemia produced by cauterization of cortical surface vessels. Controls received normal drinking water. In control animals, three main vessels feeding the whisker barrel cortex were cauterized, resulting in cessation of blood flow. The same protocol was followed for losartan-treated animals but did not result in cessation of blood flow in the whisker barrel cortex. Another group of losartan-treated animals received between 8 and 14 cauterizations of surface vessels feeding the whisker barrel cortex, and cessation of blood flow was verified. Rats were killed 72 h after surgery. Morphological examination revealed angiogenesis, maintained vascular delivery, and significantly decreased infarct size in losartan-treated animals compared with controls. These results demonstrate that pretreatment with losartan reduces infarct size after cerebral focal ischemia and support the hypothesis that cerebral angiogenesis may be one of the mechanisms responsible.

Full textAbstract:
Ethanol is the direct by-product of distillation. The vast majority of straight spirit beverages are bottled at 40%+ ABV (alcohol by volume). Aficionados, critics, spirits judges, and a significant percentage of drinkers choose to drink and evaluate spirits at bottled strength from traditional vessels. Olfactory perceptions are quickly compromised by abundant ethanol, numbing olfactory sensors and severely inhibiting aroma detection during evaluation. Traditional vessel redesigns have concentrated on minor styling changes, ignoring olfactory and physical sciences. Consumers’ continued search for value and quality and increased dependency on spirits competitions as a primary source of ratings emphasizes the need for a functional diagnostic vessel which displays and delivers aromas unobscured by ethanol olfactory numbing. The application of olfactory and physical science creates an engineered tasting vessel which eliminates severe ethanol olfactory numbing, optimizes aroma definition, and significantly improves diagnostics for those who evaluate, judge, rate, distill, and enjoy flavor nuances of spirits.

Full textAbstract:
Several ancient authors tell a puzzling story of treason to murder Alexander the Great by presenting him with poison or poisonous water carried in a curious vessel — a hoof of a horse, a mule, or an ass. Porphyry of Tyre, citing Kallimachos and Philo the Paradoxographer, gives us a reason to believe that the mention of hoof-made vessels was a misinterpretation of hornmade chalices, or put otherwise, drinking horns. Presuming that the vessel in question indeed was a drinking horn, we are left with an unusual image — Alexander the Great perished after drinking the poisonous water from the horn of a hornless animal. We can look into the development of this legend and propose its origins by examining mutual features of two distinct traditions — the Greek legend of the river Styx and its lethal streams and the Indo-Iranian tradition of several miraculous features of a unicorn’s horn, attested in Iranian, Indian, and Greek sources. After the survey of relevant sources, we see that the horn from Philo’s story represented a legendary present of Indian rulers intended to save Alexander the Great from harm. Various layers of misapprehension transformed the legendary gift into a device contracted to harm him. This way, the author demonstrates two points: 1) that the story told by Porphyry in Styg. 375F is a part of an Indo-Iranian tradition about unicorns and their miraculous features; and 2) that the legend of Alexander’s poisoning represents a transformed and misinterpreted story of Alexander’s grandest gift.

Full textAbstract:
Quality of drinking water always remains a sensitive issue since contaminants like Arsenic, Fluoride in excess amount cause serious health hazards. Arsenic in drinking water causes harm to physical and mental health of a person and this may even cause cancer and damage to blood vessels and heart. This may also cause reproductive problems and birth defects.Several states of India are known to be effected arsenic contaminated water which leads to serious illness. Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhnad, West Bengal, Assam, etc. are examples of such states. Arsenic related illness has also been reported in Manipur. Similarly presence of excess fluoride in drinking water causes mild dental fluorisis to skeletal fluorisis. It is also equally important to maintain prescribed standard of the other drinking water ingredients. Quality assessment of drinking water from Dimapur district of Nagaland and Karbi Anglong district of Assam has been presented in this paper. Quality assessment has been accomplished by measuring various quality parameters in drinking water collected from different random locations of the two districts. Quality parameters like ‘Alkalinity’, ‘Hardness’, ‘pH’, ‘Arsenic’ and ‘Fluoride’ concentration etc. are determined during the course of the study. Based on the values of the quality parameters, a rational analysis has been made about the quality of drinking water.

Full textAbstract:
Cauterization of three episcleral veins (open-angle glaucoma model) induces venous congestion and increases intraocular pressure in rats. If not upgraded, one episcleral vein is regularly unable to acquire and take over the whole function, and glaucoma-like features persist. Recently, the rapid upgrading of the collateral pathways by a stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 has cured many severe syndromes induced by permanent occlusion of major vessels, veins and/or arteries, peripherally and centrally. In a six-week study, medication was given prophylactically (immediately before glaucoma surgery, i.e., three episcleral veins cauterization) or as curative treatment (starting at 24 h after glaucoma surgery). The daily regimen of BPC 157 (0.4 µg/eye, 0.4 ng/eye; 10 µg/kg, 10 ng/kg) was administered locally as drops in each eye, intraperitoneally (last application at 24 h before sacrifice) or per-orally in drinking water (0.16 µg/mL, 0.16 ng/mL, 12 mL/rat until the sacrifice, first application being intragastric). Consequently, all BPC 157 regimens immediately normalized intraocular pressure. BPC 157-treated rats exhibited normal pupil diameter, microscopically well-preserved ganglion cells and optic nerve presentation, normal fundus presentation, normal retinal and choroidal blood vessel presentation and normal optic nerve presentation. As leading symptoms, increased intraocular pressure and mydriasis, as well as degeneration of retinal ganglion cells, optic nerve head excavation and reduction in optic nerve thickness, generalized severe irregularity of retinal vessels, faint presentation of choroidal vessels and severe optic nerve disc atrophy were all counteracted. In conclusion, we claim that the reversal of the episcleral veins cauterization glaucoma appeared as a consequence of the BPC 157 therapy of the vessel occlusion-induced perilous syndrome.

Abstract This essay explores the form and function of drinking vessels and their role and meaning in relationship to Arabic and Persian inscriptions within Islamic metalwork. The focus is a thirteenth-century jug from the Aga Khan Museum Collection. While similar jugs have been variously considered as vessels for water, wine, or sherbet, the anonymous epigrapher of the bilingual inscriptions on this example refers to water as the “water of life” (Pers. āb-e ḥayāt). These inscriptions prompt an examination of the relationship between object, image, and text in connection with water, an elixir of long or eternal life, in both a secular setting and a courtly context.

Our knowledge of the Roman city and necropolis of Kissamos was enriched, on occasion of a project carried out under the supervision of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Chania, in 2015.In the west cemetery of ancient Kissamos, a new family rock-cut chamber tomb came to light. The rectangular subterranean chamber of a trapezoidal vertical section with a roof opening, received multiple burials. The offerings, included several mainly glass unguentaria, clay vessels, bone objects, beads and gold sheets, demonstrate the long use of this family grave, from the 1st c.A.D. to the 3rd c. A.D. Of particular interest is an imported mold-blown glass drinking vessel of luxury ware. It is an inscribed cylindrical beaker of the 1st c. AD, bearing the Greek inscription “ΛΑΒΕ ΤΗΝ ΝΕΙΚΗΝ(incorrect orthography for “CATCH THE VICTORY”).

Full textAbstract:
Although a rare occurrence in late medieval cemeteries, vessels have been found on almost all major sites of the period, such as Novo Brdo, Trgoviste, Reljina Gradina and the churchyard of St Peter?s near Novi Pazar, the churchyard of St Nicholas? at Kursumlija, the churchyard of St Stephen?s at Milentija near Brus, Mali Zvecan, Mirijevo, Vinca. Vessels occur in different places, both on top of and in graves. Fragments of pottery and glass vessels are relatively abundant in layers of earth filling burial pits and chambers, and in those immediately overlaying burial pits or gravestones. The available data make it possible to recognize almost all functional types. The most frequently found pottery shapes are larger liquid containers - jugs and pitchers, and apparently there have also been many pots, both hearth cooking and glazed (figs. 1-3; 5-9). Recognizable among the glass vessels are bottles, usually those with long fluted necks and biconical, as well as infrequent icon lamps. The data about the vessels found buried with the deceased is much more detailed. Such finds are recorded at Macvanska Mitrovica (fig. 10/3), Brestovik (fig. 13/3), Mirijevo (fig. 4/1), Vinca (figs. 4/2; 10/4), Stragari near Kragujevac, Milentija near Brus, round the church of St Peter near Novi Pazar, at the monastery of Konculic (fig. 13/2) and the monastery of Gradac. The relatively plentiful and diverse vessels discovered at the cemeteries of medieval Trgoviste are especially illustrative (fig. 10/2, 7). The available descriptions of vessels and archaeological contexts provide a general impression about the types of vessels recorded in the cemeteries of a late medieval and early modern date in the central Balkans. Glass bottles as a rule were laid in graves, while earth-fill layers, apart from bottles, contained plentiful shards of drinking vessels. As for the bottles, two types were registered: biconical and those with long fluted necks (figs. 10; 12/1). Among the glass fragments there were parts of bottles with a ring around the neck and a ribbed body (Rippenflaschen), generally known in domestic scholarship under the term Panik type bottle (fig. 10/8). Also identifiable among the recovered glass fragments are drinking vessels of several types, beakers with small or large prunts (Nuppenbecher and Krautstrunk) and ribbed (Rippenbecher), common especially in the 15th and 16th centuries (figs. 12/1, 3, 5, 6). There are also pieces with a blue thread applied around the rim and body, similar to the examples from Stalac reproduced herein (fig. 12/3). Quite rarely found are drinking vessels of cobalt blue glass, which are mostly small, except for a few examples of up to 14 cm in height, which is also the height of the abovementioned bottles. Apart from Venice and Dubrovnik (Ragusa), glassware was imported from Hungary. The discovered pottery vessels show a greater diversity, mostly in terms of shape. In addition to liquid containers - jugs, pitchers and beakers, there occur bowls, pots and even apothecary vessels. A vast majority belong to the Serbian ware of the 14th and 15th centuries. Most are glazed, and frequently painted with spirals, bands and blotches in white, green and dark brown or decorated with simple sgrafitto patterns, such as the finds from Novo Brdo (fig. 1), St Peter?s (figs 9; 13/1, 4) and the monastery of Gradac. By far the most interesting of them is the beaker from Konculic with an openwork edge around the base (fig. 12/2), which is commonly found in glass beakers of the same period. Deserving of particular attention are three cylindrical ceramic bottles from Novo Brdo (fig. 2). The presented material allows us to recognize the central issues surrounding the occurrence of vessels in the cemeteries of the 14th to 17th century in Serbia. Given the small number of recorded cases, the presence of vessels in graves as grave goods appears to have been utterly sporadic. Being based on the processed and published results, and given the small number of systematically investigated and analyzed cemeteries, however, such a conclusion should be taken with caution. In most cases, the vessels were laid beside the head of the deceased, usually on its left, rarely on the right side, and only exceptionally next to the legs or the upper body area. On the other hand, the amount of fragments discovered in cemeteries is generally large, as shown, for example, by a cursory insight into the excavation records for the site of Novo Brdo. This discrepancy is surprising and makes us think over the character of the finds, but we shall not get closer to an answer until we have detailed context analyses done and the material systematized and statistically processed. When it comes to shapes, liquid containers obviously predominated - glass bottles and ceramic pitchers, followed by glass and ceramic drinking vessels, while ceramic pots and bowls occurred in graves only rarely. The vessels are mostly small. The glass bottles are between 14 and 15 cm in height on average, except the specimen from Mali Zvecan, which is more than twice as high (36 cm). The cups show similar heights, between 10 and 16 cm. The ceramic pitchers and pots are also small, with a height usually not exceeding 16 cm. Judging by the available data, it appears that shards of larger vessels were found on top of graves (bowls, pitchers, jugs, pots), apparently brought for the memorial ceremony held at the grave, while graves usually contained small vessels, usually bottles. Apart from Serbia, the occurrence of vessels in cemeteries has also been recorded in the surrounding areas. Given their very distinctive context and character, the finds from Bosnia draw particular attention, as well as those from Croatia, where they are concentrated in the broader area of Split. This overview makes it plain that the vessels laid in graves differ little from ordinary household utensils. Moreover, all can be classified as typical of the 14th to 17th century - Venetian, Dubrovnik and Hungarian glass, and the ceramic kitchen and tableware produced locally, in Serbia. For the sake of comparison, we draw attention to similar vessels discovered on fortress, settlement and monastery sites, such as Stalac, Belgrade (fig. 14), Studenica, Mileseva, Trgoviste, Trnava near Cacak. The presented examples, combined with all previously gained insights, clearly demonstrate and corroborate the assumption that the custom of laying vessels in graves in the central Balkans was an uncommon but long-standing phenomenon. Unlike earlier periods, when it was pottery vessels that were almost exclusively placed in graves, from the 14th century on the ratio of glass to ceramic vessels, mostly bottles, pitchers and beakers, becomes virtually equal. Judging by the find-spots and other known information, in the late medieval period the custom of laying vessels in graves was confined to a few areas along the Danube, Morava, Ibar, Drina and Neretva rivers. These areas, in the hinterland of Dubrovnik, in Herzegovina, Bosnia and Serbia, are associated with major caravan routes, which is relevant in our considerations of the glass finds. As it appears from the examples from all aforementioned areas, the only difference of some significance concerns the type of glass vessels used in funeral rituals - bottles in Serbia and Croatia, and drinking vessels in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Even though this seems to give grounds to assume certain regional variation in the custom of making offerings to the dead, at this point any conclusion would be highly conjectural, especially if based only on the available archaeological data. As shown by ethnological research, the custom, also sporadic, survived in Serbia and Bulgaria until the late 19th century. The analysis of the vessels from late medieval and early modern cemeteries has revealed a number of features common to the central-Balkan region, but also some regional variation. However, given the proportion of processed specimens in the entire recovered material, the assumptions and results presented here should only be taken as preliminary. The fact that some manifestations of the custom are still obscure reduces some of the previously proposed interpretations to little more than unfounded speculation, which is fertile ground for manipulation. Apart from analyzing the archaeological material, what is needed therefore is a thorough study of other aspects of the issue, above all the phenomenon of burials topped by slabs and stecci, and funerary practices at large.

From the first half of the fourteenth century, two sets of silver nested beakers are known to have come from a Jewish context: The Erfurt set, which was hidden by its Jewish owners from a pogrom in 1349 and only rediscovered in 1998, and another beaker set that is now in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg. Typologically, these beakers do not differ from examples we know from a Christian context; only special features such as a Hebrew inscription clearly prove that they originally had Jewish owners. As in Christian houses, these beakers were also used by Jews for self-representation, but beyond that they certainly served ritual purposes.

Among numerous shapes of Ancient Greek glass drinking vessels from the Northern Black Sea Coast, the group of bowls-phials with engraved and polished ornamentation (2nd—3rd centuries AD) could be distinguished. The fragments of mentioned vessels, which were found on the territory of Roman garrison in Olbia and stored in the Scientific Repository of the Institute of Archaeology NASU, are examined in this research. In addition, the technological process of their manufacturing is closely analysed. Wide distribution and active application of phials concurred with intensification of trading communications and economic advancement of the period from the second half of the 2nd century AD to the first half of the 3rd century AD and the Roman garrison’s residence in Olbia.

Full textAbstract:
Worldwide, contaminated drinking water poses a major health threat, particularly to child development. Diarrhoea represents a large part of the water-related disease burden and enteric infections have been linked to nutritional and growth shortfalls as well as long-term physical and cognitive impairment in children. Previous studies detailed the frequency of infection and the consequences for child health in a shanty town in north-east Brazil. To determine the frequency of contaminated water, we measured faecal contamination in primary drinking water samples from 231 randomly selected households. Risk for contamination was compared across source and storage types. Nearly a third of the study households (70/231: 30.3%) had contaminated drinking water; the source with the highest frequency of contamination was well water (23/24: 95.8%). For tap water, the type of storage had a significant effect on the susceptibility to contamination (χ2=12.090; p=0.007). The observed pattern of contamination demonstrated the relative potential contributions of both source and storage. With evidence that supports the inclusion of source and storage in water quality surveys, this study, like others, suggests that contaminated drinking water in storage vessels may be an important factor for the documented diarrhoea disease burden in the Brazilian shanty town.

Full textAbstract:
With a growing world population and changing patterns of global precipitation, researchers are examining a number of options in the management and supply of fresh water to areas where the demand for fresh water is outstripping local availability. These options include bulk water exports as well as the establishment of desalination plants. This paper argues that three key factors will determine the possibility of such trade. These factors are: (a) the travelling distance of the marine vessels from the fresh water source to the population, (b) the cost of capital and (c) the average expected utilization rate of local desalination plant. It concludes that the supply of bulk water transported by single hulled marine vessels is economically viable if the distance is less than 548 miles (884 km). For greater distances, the cost of drinking water production using desalination technology is cost effective. In any case the supply of these single hulled marine vessels is limited, as new ones are unlikely to be built for water only. Thus local communities are unlikely to lose control over water resources owing to export trade.

The remains of a Nabataean private complex located west of the Roman-period apsidal building in the Qasr al-Bint area of Petra, excavated by the French archaeological team between 2005 and 2008, turned out to be reused by squatters during the Roman period. This occupation phase, one of the latest in this complex, was of a domestic nature, characterized by the installation of ovens (tawabeen) and other fireplaces, as well as the installation of a channel in the courtyard. The large assemblage of well preserved, often complete pottery vessels from the corresponding levels was dated by coins and Nabataean pottery, supported by radiocarbon datings, to the second half of the 2nd and the early 3rd century CE. Consequently, the group offers the opportunity to study a homogeneous corpus of ceramic material from a period that is not at all well documented in Petra. The repertoire includes all kinds of vessels, especially cooking pots, small storage jars and drinking vessels. In addition, a set of multi-nozzled lamps was associated with this group.

Practically all water supplies of Ukraine use a chlorine or connections that contain chlorine for water treatment. In the process of water preparation organic substances that are included in its composition co-operate with disinfectants, and as a result a few types of trihalomethanes (ТHМ) appear, and chloroform prevails among them. Sufficiently long time the underestimation of the most meaningful sides of their biological action took place — remote consequences, in particular mutagenic and carcinogenic action. Although in experiments on higher animals, data about the chloroform cancerogenicity for organisms were got and after classification of IARC (France) it was attributed to the group 2 (factors that are probably carcinogenic for a human), the increase of morbidity from cancer among people who used the chlorinated drinking-water in epidemiology researches didn’t confirm clearly in the half of cases during observation. It was determined later that chlorinated drinking-water influences elasticity of blood vessels. They become harder, and that is why functioning of the cardiovascular system is violated. And, as known, the lost elasticity of blood vessels causes atherosclerosis, disease of heart. In opinion of several authors, risk of development of cancer for people and animals that use the chlorinated water, grows substantially. The presence of organic substances in water supplies causes chloroform formation in drinking water. Frequently «water-blooming», which is caused by growth of phytoplankton in consequence of coming of biogenic substances into the water, determines the appearance of organic compounds. Article writes above determining actuality of problem of danger of chloroform contamination of drinking-water for a human and animals as a result of its disinfection and bleaching with liquid chlorine during water treatment. Some indices of drinking water quality which influence the chloroform formation in it are analyzed. It is noted that oxygen concentration and turbidity here have to be examined as the most essential indices that testify the level of water contamination and determine the necessary terms of its bleaching and disinfestation. Reproduction intensity of diatomaceous, blue-green and green algae is investigated in the water intake «Vidsichne» of the Teteriv river in 2014 and it is shown that an active development of planktonic algae causes the necessity to increase the doses of reagents, that are added to water during its preparation. The features of different departments’ coexistence of phytoplankton in a water intake and their influence on the changes of turbidity indices and size of oxygen are also educed.

Drinking and feasting were an integral part of life in Iron Age Europe and the British Isles. The distribution of food and especially drink in prescribed fashion played a key role in establishing and maintaining social relationships. Alcoholic beverages were important consumable status items in prehistoric Europe, serving as a social lubricant as well as a social barrier. The metal, ceramic and wooden vessels required for the preparation, distribution and consumption of these beverages were a vehicle for inter- and intragroup competition, and underwent considerable change, both symbolic and material, through time. This article will attempt a cognitive analysis of the material culture of Iron Age drinking and feasting by integrating archaeological and documentary evidence. The impact of contact with the Mediterranean world, gender configurations, and the ideology of power and patronage will be discussed in relation to changing material culture assemblages.

Full textAbstract:
Stent implantation is the mainstream treatment for high-incidence vascular diseases. The stent is implanted into the blocked vessel with minimal trauma to restore blood flow. Polymer braided stents with superior biocompatibility and flexibility have broad application prospects in stent implantation. An ideal polymer stent should have suitable radial supporting capacity to withstand the cyclic radial load from vessels. Especially in the case of accelerated vasoconstriction caused by emotional excitement, drinking or fever, etc. However, there are currently limited studies on the mechanical properties of stent at rapid radial loading. In this work, the radial supporting capacity and fatigue properties of polymer stent at rapid loading rate were investigated by experiment and simulation. With the increase of radial loading rate, the stent has different deformation tendency and fatigue resistance. This study is helpful to study the structural changes of the polymer braided stent at different loading rates, and provide ideas for the evaluation and the optimization of the polymer braided stent.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major global cause of disease and mortality. CVDs are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels and include coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, heart failure, and other conditions. The most important behavioral risk factors for heart disease and stroke are diet, physical activity, smoking, and drinking. Increased intake of fruits and vegetables is associated with reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome and CVDs. Red-colored foods align with cardiovascular health by protecting the heart and blood vessels. Red fruits and vegetables include tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, cherries, red apples, beets, and pomegranate. In vitro and in vivo studies, as well as clinical trials, show that the components of red foods demonstrate various potential health benefits against disease. In conclusion, there are many advantages to eating vegetable foods, especially red fruits and vegetables.

AbstractDuring the summer of 1977, rescue excavations of a square, ditched enclosure were undertaken at Rothwell Haigh Colliery, Leeds. Relatively few discrete features were identified, but a 12.3 m-deep well situated within the enclosure was fully excavated. Pottery from the well, which was waterlogged fromc. 7 m, indicates rapid infilling most likely in the early to mid-fourth century. Waterlogged wooden objects include a yew bucket, ash spade with iron shoe and ash drinking vessels, while the disposal of complete pottery vessels, a quern disc rough-out, articulated animal parts and a human skull highlight the potential for symbolic deposition. An exploration of the apparently more mundane items shows that they deviate from the normal domestic patterns seen on local sites, suggesting that selection for ritual deposition may have covered areas of material culture not normally associated with such activity.
