Full textAbstract:
Old Russian art and Old Russian philosophy have many similar typological features. Therefore, the consideration of ancient Russian art, from a philosophical point of view, has a certain methodological significance. Old Russian texts can be divided into three groups according to the degree of saturation of their philosophical and aesthetic content. The first group consists of the most serious books, including: “The source of knowledge” by John of Damascus, “Dioptra” by Philip the Hermit, “The logic of Aviasaph” and a number of others. The second group, the most numerous, includes the works of Metropolitan Hilarion, Maxim the Greek, Cyril of Turov, some Apocrypha and other works. The third group includes monuments of business writing. The works of the second group require careful textual study. In addition to monuments of writing, it is important to consider non-verbal sources: monuments of painting, architecture, and small plastic art. In the whole, all of them provide a general yet clear overview of the Old Russian art.

Full textAbstract:
The article highlights the unique work of a prominent Polish master of monumental art, the author of numerous stained glass windows, murals and mosaics of the temples of Poland by Adam Stalony-Dobrzanski (1904-1985), whose father Felix Dobrzanski is a Pole, and mother Anna Kovalenko, a native of Chernihiv, Ukrainian. Dobrzanski spent his youth in Ukraine, and in 1923 he moved with his parents to the restored Polish state; He graduated from the Cracow Academy of Arts and began working in the field of artistic design of Catholic churches, Greek Catholic and Orthodox temples. Feature of Dobzhansky’s creative style is a harmonious combination of ancient medieval Gothic style with the latest styles of Impressionism, Modernism and others; as well as the introduction of inscriptions with the original letter form as an integral part of the stained glass image system. Another noticeable feature of the stained glass windows of Adam Steglovy Dobzhan is the harmony of large and small forms. Of course, he is born, as they say, a monumentalist in the arts. There is greatness in his works. The elongated window openings of the Orthodox, Greek Catholic churches and Roman Catholic churches required verticality. Therefore, this architecture is completely approached by long Gothic stained glass figures. But Dobzhansky would not be Dobzhansky if his age were confined to the composition of tall, sometimes tall, figures. In every large and tall form, he “streams” with many small glasses, in which he writes texts in Latin or Cyrillic letters. This flamboyant scattering of small shapes moves and shimmers like a kaleidoscope, enlivening the statics of the stained glass central figure. Here Dobzhansky presents his knowledge of stained glass. Middle Ages in the Catholic countries of the West, which still amaze the beauty of their kaleidoscopic overflows. There is, of course, a contrast between the large in size and these tiny multicolored glasses. This contrast sends the viewer to the baroque, which maximized the contrast in the riot of flexible forms. These forms do not exist in Mr. Adam’s stained-glass windows, but his contrasts reflect the breadth of the search, a master who crafted his unique language in the field of ancient and modern art styles in the ancient and eternally young stained glass art.

Full textAbstract:
The Greek Revolution of 1821 was one of the most important issues in Europe of the early 19th century on a political and military level. The outbreak of the Greek Revolution was not supported by the Great Powers of the time, since as a liberation struggle it violated the terms of the Holy Alliance (1815), however it managed to prevail thanks to the support of the people of Europe as they regarded this an effort of a small nation to claim its freedom and oppose to slavery and authoritarianism. After all, we are in the time of Romanticism and this kind of struggle enjoyed the support of intellectuals, collectives, and different groups of citizens. Philhellenism was on the rise, and painters like Delacroix made a huge impact with works that made a strong impression on Europe. After the success of the Revolution, many foreign artists came to Greece, some on their own initiative as travelers and others carrying out their King’s orders. Some of them were painters (both amateur and professional) that painted live portraits of the leading figures of the Revolution, leaving behind a remarkable oeuvre when seen from a historical, factual, and artistic point of view. And since at that point in Greece there could be no room for domestic artistic creation, the work of these artists is considered particularly important in terms of portraiture, history, facts, and artistic value. The most important out of the painters that were in Greece at that critical time are the Bavarians Karl Krazeisen and Peter von Hess, who painted portraits of Greek fighters and these portraits have since become the blueprints that other artists, painters, and sculptors based their work on resulting in the perpetuation of the historical memory.It is worth mentioning that in the 200 years of independence these works remain of enduring value when paying tribute and respect to the first martyrs of the Greek Struggle.

Full textAbstract:
The author showed a fragment of the Iliad referred to as the Catalogue of Ships, also called Beotia (Bojotia). The name of this part comes from the Beots, whose troops, arriving at Troy, were listed in the Catalogue as the first. The list contains in-formations about the Greek armed forces, rulers and chiefs of the Greek peoples who took part in the naval expedition and the war against the Trojans. It also determines the number of ships brought by the Greeks to Troy. Eager to go to war, they put themselves in Beocia near the city of Aulis where, on the Strait of Eurypus, a large port was located. It can also be assumed that the Catalogue of Greek troops begins with the army of Beocia because the ports of this land were chosen as the place of concentration of troops for the expedition against Troy. A collection of works called the Trojan Cycle was also characterized, which includes 29 books and from which only small fragments (epitomai) and summaries in the so-called Chrestomatia have survived. Despite such poor literature, they are an important source in reproducing the content of the Trojan cycle. The passage showing the Achaean army at Troy, which is a list of Greek nobility, is often omitted in the editions of the Iliad. However, for those studying the art of war, it is an extremely important record of Europe’s past.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to explore the relationship between the works of Yvan Goll and E. Ch. Gonatas. More specifically, the main purpose of the study is to highlight the role played by the Expressionist Movement (in which Yvan Goll was an active member) in the literary works of E. Ch. Gonatas. The methodological tools of Comparative Literature and Hermeneutics are used to prove the close relationship between the two authors and the expressionistic texture of their art. In the first part, the study is concerned with the expressionistic imagery, the poetics of landscape, the use of colors and the symbolization of nature (especially through the motif of the humanization of animals). The second part deals with the influence of Expressionism on the mutability of the literary genres, the generic hybridization in the work of E. Ch. Gonatas and the small literary form.The main objectives of the study are: i) A heuristic report of the presence of Expressionism in Modern Greek Literature (especially in the post-surrealistic movement), ii) the clarification of certain aspects in Gonatas' poetics and iii) the acquaintance with the work of the major poet but unknown to the Greek general public, Yvan Goll.

Full textAbstract:
As Vout (2006) has recently reminded us in this journal, Johann Joachim Winckelmann's History of the art of antiquity (Geschichte der Kunst des Alterthums, 1st ed. 1764) is widely considered to be a foundational text in the history of art. Advertising itself as the first ‘systematic’ account of ancient art in relation to its geographical, social and political circumstances, Winckelmann filled out the well-known Plinian chronology of artists with a new analysis in terms of a succession of period styles, providing a satisfyingly scientific justification for the preference his contemporaries were beginning to accord to the art of the Greeks. Small wonder then that the book was lauded as a classic as soon as it appeared in Germany and was quickly translated into French and Italian. Nevertheless, it is also hardly surprising that this text, which promised nothing less than a ‘new paradigm’ for the study of antique culture, has always presented problems to its readers. These are partly caused by its magnitude of ambition. Titled, first and foremost, a ‘history’, Winckelmann's magnum opus in fact attempts to be many things: part systematic exploration of the social and physical factors that condition the development of all art; part impassioned disquisition on the essence of beauty; part antiquarian catalogue of the greatest surviving works of Greek and Roman art; part manual of aesthetic taste for aspiring contemporary artists. Few books since Winckelmann's History can have combined bold claims about their importance as historical scholarship with detailed instructions on how to draw a perfectly beautiful face.

Abstract Organo- and hydrogels have been proposed in the restoration field to treat different types of surfaces. The possibility to retain solvents and to have a controlled and superficial action allowed to use these materials for the removal of very thin layers applied on ancient historical objects, when the under paint layers are particularly delicate and water sensitive. In the last years, an increased attention has been devoted to the proposal of more healthy products to guarantee the safeguard of the operators. Few attention has been devoted to the development of green methods which foresee the use of renewable and biodegradable materials. The aim of this paper is to test a green organo-gel for the cleaning of water sensitive surfaces like varnished egg tempera paintings. The gel has been tested experimented on mock ups varnished with natural and synthetic materials and has been validated on a small portion of a Cimabue painting for the removal of two varnishes applied on two different test areas of the painting.

AbstractThe sculptor Olafur Eliasson produces works together with his team that have two main goals: first, he intends to sensitize our daily perception of the world and our surroundings, and second, Eliasson’s works are not only works of art, but they also explore nature, the physical properties of light, of energy, of water, and other elements. With the famous project Little Suns, small plastic lamps with LED light bulbs and solar cells, he contributes to the amelioration of daily life for those who do not have access to electricity even today. In other works he focuses on elementary phenomena such as the movement of elements in a vortex of water or air, on the properties of light, of mirrored light, or the fascinating world of kaleidoscopes. Some of these works are very popular and often include visitors such as the Weather Project in the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern in London created in 2003. This work is said to have provoked spontaneous meetings, celebrations, and even episodes of civil protest. The work turned the museum into a kind of agora, the public square in Ancient Greek cities that was at the heart of daily life, of politics, of democratic practices.

Full textAbstract:
For the first time, the article analyzes the structural, semantic, pragmatic aspects of the poetics of the title “The Vicissitude of Fate” by I. A. Goncharov. The title is an explicitly integral part of the framework text. In addition, the expression “vicissitude of fate” is structured and implicit, since it is included in the main content of the work. The phrase “vicissitude of fate” is endowed with stable semantic features, which were reflected in the works of other 19th-century writers: I. I. Lazhechnikov, N. V. Gogol, A. N. Ostrovsky, M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin, V. M. Garshin, D. N. Mamina-Sibiryak, A. P. Chekhov. The plot twists and turns that determine the development of the plot of I. A. Goncharov’s work are comparable to dramaturgical literature. However, Leonty Khabarov’s destiny is determined not by the ancient Greek fate, but by God’s providence. The motif of fate, which is the leitmotif of I. A. Goncharov’s “Vicissitude of Fate,” allows us to interpret the image of Leonty Khabarov in comparison with the Young Man from the Old Russian “Tale of Woe-Wickedness.” Unlike the Young Man from The Tale of Woe and Wickedness, who can and must find salvation for his soul only outside the walls of the monastery, Leonty Khabarov finds blissful salvation in worldly life thanks to the miraculous intervention of the Mother of God, to whom he prayed in the Kazan Cathedral of St. Petersburg. The final plot twists and turns that led Leonty Khabarov from misfortune to a happy, thriving, prosperous life are due to the Miracle motif. Khabarov’s first name is Leonty, and the motif of fate creates an association between the “small” epic prose of I. A. Goncharov — “The Vicissitude of Fate” — and the novel “The Cliff.” The writer uses the artistic technique of autocitation, which is found in many of his works.

The findings show that visual arts-based instruction positively impacts learners' oracy abilities, vocabulary development, and formulaic assimilation. Art has always been a potent medium for teachers of all subjects contributing to learners’ social, emotional, intellectual and physical evolution. However, it often becomes subjugated and considered as unnecessary and extracurricular. The particular research aims at exploring the ways Art can be integrated into the first grade of Greek State Primary School curriculum for English language learning and exploited for the benefit of young learners. More specifically, this research aims to investigate whether art, and particularly visual arts, can emerge as an invaluable tool which will enhance instruction for the learning of English as a foreign language, thus triggering motivation which will lead to young learners’ enhancement of their speaking skills. In addition to this, this research explores the effects of visual arts-based instruction on vocabulary, and language chunks development, through young learners’ engagement in a number of multisensory tasks deriving from works of art presented to them. For this reason, action research was carried out among thirty-two first grade learners of a state primary school in Greece, who were divided into two groups, a control and an experimental group. The information obtained through both quantitative and qualitative tools of data collection will be exploited for this research as they can prove that the participants of the experimental group improved substantially concerning all the three variables compared to the participants of the control group. The results of this small-case research cannot be disregarded as they indicate that the use of visual arts can have a considerably positive effect on young learners’ receptive and productive oracy skills.

D'Alconzo, Nicolo. "Works of art in ancient Greek novels." Thesis, Swansea University, 2015. https://cronfa.swan.ac.uk/Record/cronfa42452.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a study on the use of works of art in Greek novels, based on the idea that the novelists understood it as one of the main features of their job. I recognise a coherent pattern whereby works of art are closely connected to protagonists and plot, which started already with first-century novels and continued throughout. Chapter One explores rhetorical theory of ekphrasis in order to provide technical information on it as well as to reassess the notion that descriptions of paintings in novels were entirely dependent on rhetoric. Chapter Two starts the analysis of the feature of works of art in the genre by examining Chariton and Xenophon of Ephesus, and by making some considerations on the Ninus romance as well. It shows that works of had a relevant role before the introduction of ekphrasis of paintings, and also that novelists showed a tendency to employ, and innovate on, the ideas of their predecessors. Through close textual analysis of the relevant passages. Chapter Three details how Achilles Tatius composed the ekphraseis of paintings from literary as well as figurative models, and shows how he explored their potential by experimenting on the connection between description and narration. In an appendix, it also examines a possible connection between Achilles Tatius and Lucian. I see Achilles Tatius' descriptions as a prelude to the reflection on the nature of ekphrasis of paintings that can be found in Longus, mostly in the prologue of his novel. Chapter Four is dedicated to this, and connects it to the development of ekphrasis of paintings as an autonomous genre in the third century. Finally, Chapter Five considers Heliodorus as the recipient of this tradition, by looking closely at how he used the story of the birth of his heroine, who is born from a painting, to talk about the birth of his novel. The novelists became progressively aware that art was the expedient through which they could talk about the nature of their work.

Fowler, Michael Anthony. "Unsavory Sights: Cannibalism in Greek Art." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2019. https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu-works/8908.
Full textAbstract:
Scenes involving the breaking or outright inversion of culinary and (com)mensal norms are frequent in Greek art of the Archaic and Classical periods. The most discussed group of such images involves the uncivilized act of binge drinking unmixed wine and, as a result, losing control of one’s mind and body. Far less studied from an iconographic perspective are scenes of cannibalism, the most extreme and unsettling of all Greek culinary taboos. This paper seeks to define the iconography and meaning of cannibalism in Greek art through an exploration of the individual and shared compositional features of anthropophagic scenes and their visual relationship to normative images of meat consumption. Analytical attention will also be given to the objects on which these scenes appear and the relationship between the scenes and any other decorative content. Of particular interest is the way in which the iconography reflects cannibalism’s association with other serious normative violations, for example, infanticide (e.g., Prokne slaying her son Itys) and inhospitality (e.g., the Egyptian pharaoh Bousiris attempting to sacrifice his guest-friend Herakles). [The manuscript is currently being developed into an article to be submitted for publication consideration, probably in winter 2021.]

Fowler, Michael Anthony. "Reflections on Beauty and Ugliness: An Exceptional Archaic Greek Mirror at the Getty." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2020. https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu-works/8906.
Full textAbstract:
This paper consists of a focused, formal, and iconographic analysis of a unique Late Archaic bronze hand mirror said to originate in Magna Graecia, now in the Getty Museum. Of particular interest is the way the object fuses and juxtaposes two semantically dense and interrelated devices from the ancient Greek world: the mirror and the severed head of the Medusa (gorgoneion). While gorgoneia are generally encountered as ornaments on Greek mirrors, the Getty example is the only extant case in which Medusa’s head occupies the entire backside of the mirror, effectively functioning as a Janus-faced counterpart to the user’s face reflected in the disc. Scholars tend to explain the significance of gorgoneia on objects like the Getty mirror with reference to apotropaic and/or humorous effects. Yet Fowler proposes that the mirror’s incorporation of the gorgoneion may be appreciated on deeper conceptual and phenomenological levels: as a visual “comment” on the nature of the image (representational and reflected) and of (female) beauty and ugliness, which is accomplished by, and experienced through, using the object. Close examination of the Getty mirror thus offers critical insights into the complex interplay between gender, aesthetics, image-making, and visual experience in ancient Greek culture.

Full textAbstract:
Technology translation can be achieved through the blending of the sciences and arts in the form of digital imagery. Digital animation and video can be utilized to portray molecular events where the mechanism of action is known but the process occurs at a sub-microscopic level. There needs to be a strong collaboration between scientific advisors and digital artists when creating the animation such that the artistic interpretation of the molecular event conforms to the known and accepted confines of science. The finished animation may be used for information, education or persuasion as entrepreneurial biotechnical companies attempt to find markets, customers and investors interested in their inventions. Educational institutions with programs in the sciences, arts, digital media and medicine need to promote the interaction of students from these disciplines through cross-functional teams and courses. Solutions to problems developed by these teams tend to be broader and more comprehensive than more homogeneous teams.

Thesis, King's College London (University of London), 2002. https://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/portal/en/theses/archaic-elements-in-greek-art-and-architecture-of-the-fourth-century-bc-with-particular-reference-to-works-from-ionia-and-caria(4bf12dd8-cbc1-41a0-8a3e-7daba058bf35).html.
Full textAbstract:
A number of Archaistic elements appeared in the sculpture and architecture of Asia Minor during the fourth century BC. Many of them are connected with works produced by the Hekatomnid dynasty, the ruling house of Caria during much of the fourth century BC. The main purpose of this thesis is to catalogue and investigate these elements and to try to explain the reasons for their appearance against the background of Archaism in the fourth century BC. One of the most important features was the curled hairstyle, which was used by the female members of the Hekatomnid family. In the first three chapters the use of this hairstyle is examined and its origins traced in the Archaic period in order to determine its Greek or Persian connections. Its continuation into Classical times, and its revival in the late fifth and fourth centuries as an Archaistic feature, are also considered. Two subsequent chapters discuss further aspects of Archaism in the art and architecture of Asia Minor in the fourth century BC. One examines the preservation or re-introduction of Archaic features in the cult-images or xoana in which the area abounded. The other considers the mentality that lay behind the way in which important temples such as the Ephesian Artenvision were rebuilt using elements from their Archaic predecessors, while new monuments like those at Labraunda incorporated features from Archaic architecture in their decoration. A further chapter reviews the extent and nature of Archaistic works of art from Mainland Greece in the late fifth and fourth centuries, in order to present an overall background against which to judge the examples from Asia Minor. In the Conclusion the evidence from previous chapters is summarised and an attempt made to draw together the reasons for the appearance of Archaistic elements in the art of Asia Minor, and the relationship with the Archaistic art of Mainland Greece.

Claudio Magris is deeply interested in the classics and Greek culture. The current essay focuses on Magris and Greece through employing two different approaches. On the one hand, it highlights Magris’ interest in Greek culture, art and literature. In his works, Magris reflects on the diachronic presence of classical heroes, such as Ulysses or Antigone, within the broader field of world literature. On the other, this essay aims to analysing the reception of Magris’ translations in Greece, including the literary criticism of his works.

AbstractThis work is aimed at investigating flash floods in the region of El Gouna, Egypt, by using a 2D robust shallow-water model that incorporates the Green-Ampt model to find the most realistic infiltration setting for this desert area. The results of different infiltration settings are compared to inundation areas observed from LANDSAT 8 images as well as to community-based information and photographs to validate the results despite scarce data availability. The model tends to overestimate infiltration in the study area if tabulated Green-Ampt parameters for the dominant soil texture class are considered. Specifically, bare soils with no vegetation tend to develop a surface crust, leading to significantly decreased infiltration rates during heavy rainfalls. Comparing the results of different infiltration settings with the observed data showed that the crust approach or the consideration of sandy clay loam instead of sand led to more plausible results for the considered study area than those obtained using the values for sand from two different sources in the literature. Furthermore, small-scale structures, which are not appropriately captured in the original digital surface model, but significantly affect the resulting flow field, have been included based on the available information leading to much more plausible results.

Full textAbstract:
A small, blind-tooled volume sits on a table covered in green baize: one clasp is open, the other is closed; and a slip of paper emerges from it reading Veritas odium parit (truth breeds hatred). This detail occurs in the foreground of a portrait by Hans Holbein of a young man identified as the Cologne patrician Hermann von Wedigh III (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York). A study of the physical features of the book and of the history of the brief text — actually an ancient and then Erasmian adage — leads to a new interpretation of the painting in the context of humanist friendship. The book is seen to be a multivalent simile for the work of art authored by the artist as well as for the sitter himself, raising questions about the implications for these of a medium that can be opened and closed. The half-open condition of the book is understood to reflect the complementary pressures of openness and closedness, accessibility and intimacy, that characterized the Renaissance republic of letters.

AbstractThis chapter presents the results of a study that examined environmentally friendly practices at the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Although nearly 80% of the People’s Republic of China’s employment is found in MSMEs (Yi, 2018), very often MSMEs are characterised as entities that waste resources and do not use environmentally friendly production processes. For this reason, advocating an environment-friendly upgrade, or green development, of industries and enterprises is of great importance. Another area of exploration for the reported study is the use of recognition, validation and accreditation (RVA) mechanism by MSMEs. RVAs of competencies and work experience in all learning settings—formal, non-formal and informal—are not a well-known concept in PRC. However, its importance in educational reforms has grown, especially in the field of adult and vocational education. PRC generally uses recognition practices to motivate adult learners to continue learning by factoring in their previous education, thus reducing the costs incurred by learners. Thus, this study examined the extent to which enterprises involved in the study know, or use, RVA and what RVA requirements they have for job applicants. Application of RVA at the enterprise level is important, as the lack of systematic use of RVA means that workers’ talents are not made sufficiently visible or optimally used for improving production and promoting ‘green competitiveness’. To develop a systematic understanding of the above two areas, this chapter reports on a PRC case study that follows the overall methodology for the study by analysing issues at the macro-, meso- and micro-levels. This chapter recommends a combination of policies, rules and regulations, as well as a design of an RVA model that can closely match the needs of enterprises to facilitate their development of green competitiveness.

Abstract It is impossible to think back to a time when any language was homogeneous. Even when, if it was the case, there were very small groups speaking the same language, there must have been some variety. Language is heterogeneous by its very nature and the existence of differences creates the possibility of combining certain features into new groupings. To take a parallel from another field, there are now several hundred recognized breeds of dog but all dogs have as their common ancestor the wolf. Through centuries of selective breeding, the wolf has evolved into such different creatures as the Great Dane, the dachshund, the poodle, and the Lakeland terrier. Certain features of size, color, temperament, and so on have been selectively reinforced or suppressed. So it is with language. Although we have no idea what the ur-language was, or even whether there was only one, we know enough about language diversification to know that languages can change dramatically with changing circumstances. Most European languages can be traced back to a hypothetical single ancestor (see chapter 27), yet speakers of Russian, Greek, Welsh, French, and English do not consider themselves as speaking the same language, though they will find occasional resemblances among the words of the different languages.

Abstract This stimulating little book depicts in a very interesting way how the doctrine of the irrational developed among the Greeks. In the authors’ view, the Pythagoreans at first attempted to overcome the emerging difficulties by introducing infinitely small magnitudes, and only Zeno, through his well-known paradoxes (the flying arrow, etc.), demonstrated the untenability of this standpoint, thereby precipitating a foundational crisis, which, for its part, was the point of departure for the rigorous construction by Eudoxus and others. This hypothesis casts an entirely new light on Zeno, who appears as an early champion of rigorous methods in mathematics, and in that sense is compared to Weierstrass. In addition, the book contains a series of other interesting historical remarks, as well as, in an appendix, a penetrating criticism of the view advocated by Oswald Spengler concerning the attitude of the Greeks toward the problem of the irrational. The clarity of style as well as the sharpness and terse suggestiveness of the formulations are also especially notable.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter addresses the aesthetics of smallness with regard to material from Archaic and Classical Greece (roughly, from the late eighth to the late fourth centuries BCE). It sketches a range of historical possibilities to relate ancient Greek concepts of scale and likeness to the research protocols of art history and archaeology. It explores the ancient concepts and corpora, with two propositions: 1. that smallness in Archaic and Classical Greece could be wonderful, in that it could make a work of craft what the Greeks called a thauma idesthai, “a wonder to behold for itself and oneself”; 2. to show that the comparativist method to accommodate ancient categories in a modern disciplinary infrastructure requires an eclectic and egalitarian approach to evidence that combines archaeological taxonomy with the reading habits of philology and art history, corpus scholarship with close looking.

Full textAbstract:
Urbanization is a process that can be studied both historically and philosophically. The examination by case studies in these pages draws on architectural and art historical insights to illuminate the term “urbanization” as a process. Some theories of great current interest to classicists and ancient history experts are ignored here lest the digression into their arguments impede our concentration on evidence for water management. Rather, we may generalize in very simple terms from accumulated examples. A family selects a site and builds a house. Their grown sons and daughters form households and settle nearby. Friends come to live there too, and strangers arrive to trade or worship, and stay on. Gradually a small settlement with advantageous resources—human, physical, and cultural—prospers and becomes a town, even a city. It forms ties with other settlements and increases its prosperity by trade and cultural interaction. The city’s need for food, raw materials, and population has a strong impact on the countryside, so that other hamlets become towns in response to urban demands for their goods. Thus urbanization may be said to be a process. Growth and decay of urban centers are part of the same process. Once the process of city building is well underway, the resulting “package” of knowledge and behavior can be exported as a product. Greek colonization of the Mediterranean area was done by means of cities, a group of settlers carrying with them to the new place both the concept of city and the technological and political means to bring it into existence (see Fig. 3.1, selected Greek sites). Colonists were organized in one of several standard ways, to make a new urban place without going through a gradual process of social evolution and physical agglomeration. This set of activities is well described in A. J. Graham, Colony and Mothercity in Ancient Greece (1983), and in N. H. Demand, Urban Relocation in Archaic and Classical Greece (1990). In the general field of urban history and theory, we have the works of Vance, Hohenberg and Lees, Wheatley, and Pirenne. From them we learn how urbanization has been understood in the last two centuries.

Abstract Writing in the Preface to John Dryden and Nathaniel Lee’s Oedipus in a collected edition of Dryden’s works in 1808, Sir Walter Scott refers to a revival ‘some thirty years ago’, which had so offended the audience that the boxes had been emptied before the end of the third act. That Dryden and Lee’s play, first per formed at the Dorset Garden Theatre in 1678, should have remained within the London repertoire some hundred years or more after its premiere (albeit now fading from it on grounds of taste), is of no small note. And in many ways this Restoration Oedipus is unique amongst the numerous late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century tragedies based upon the ancient Greek plays in enjoying such a long production history.

The letter collection of Evagrius of Pontus has an idiosyncratic history. Only fragments of the original Greek collection survive, but 62 letters have been preserved in their Syriac translation in relatively few manuscripts. The letters’ exclusive focus on the idiosyncrasies and hardships of the monastic life seems to suggest that Evagrius designed his collection on the model of Anthony the Great’s small letter collection. Evagrius’s letters constitute a record of his dealings with his students and are informed by a complex esotericism, which connects them with the rest of Evagrius’s works.

Full textAbstract:
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) is a recently emerging research topic which aims to build classification models for unseen classes with knowledge from auxiliary seen classes. Though many ZSL works have shown promising results on small-scale datasets by utilizing a bilinear compatibility function, the ZSL performance on large-scale datasets with many classes (say, ImageNet) is still unsatisfactory. We argue that the bilinear compatibility function is a low-rank approximation of the true compatibility function such that it is not expressive enough especially when there are a large number of classes because of the rank limitation. To address this issue, we propose a novel approach, termed as High-rank Deep Embedding Networks (GREEN), for ZSL with many classes. In particular, we propose a feature-dependent mixture of softmaxes as the image-class compatibility function, which is a simple extension of the bilinear compatibility function, but yields much better results. It utilizes a mixture of non-linear transformations with feature-dependent latent variables to approximate the true function in a high-rank way, which makes GREEN more expressive. Experiments on several datasets including ImageNet demonstrate GREEN significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches.

Full textAbstract:
From the early 15th century, anatomical knowledge was considered fundamental to artists and even architects. Not only medically trained scientists, but also artists found a primary source of inspiration in the human body, directly investigating it under cover of the night or, later on, in public dissections. Direct observation, �to see with one�s eyes� � as states the original meaning of the Greek word autopsia � was fundamental to Renaissance artists. The body, standardized in its dimensions and used as a measurement reference, was rationalised in geometrical forms and masses in order to shape the space. The increasingly evolving study of human anatomy in the scientific field allowed artists to explore not only its structure but also its movement. From �The Fall of the Giants� by Perino del Vaga to the works of Luca Cambiaso, the Genoese art in the 16th century shows the innovative force of the Renaissance art and is a remarkable example of how the understanding of the human body allows the artist to model complex anatomical positions that create an almost architectural scenography.

In the short story Novella Greca, in her book: Fior di Passione, 1888, the author M. Serao narrates the true story of Calliope Stavro, the heroine (Calliopi Stavrou in Greek), in Leucade - Santa Maura (Lefkada - Agia Mavra in Greek), an island of the Ionian Sea, in 19th century Greece. At that time, the country was just freed from the Turkish occupation, trying to recover from more than 400 years of slavery and subjugation to the Ottoman Empire. Calliope Stavro represents the woman of her time, imprisoned in the small society of her island, suffocated, asphyxiated, disillusioned and unfulfilled. Thus, she decides to commit suicide not having a way out in her island, which although it is a naturally beautiful place due to its greenery, it is a barren rock �thrown� into the Ionian Sea without any promising future for its inhabitants. Serao realistically exposes the true story of the heroine�s female identity, whose death signifies her suffocation within the patriarchal society of her time. The writer presents the outlets of human existence, the small society of the island, the negative influence of the heroine�s microcosm, which mostly depends on the raisin trade, its production and export, with which almost all the males of the island are preoccupied, since it provided a profitable income in that time. Faced with the crushing reality of her life, the non-existence of love, no romance, male dominance, and indifference, even misogynism, she chooses death, she surrenders to her doomed destiny and the futility of existence, because she is not allowed to live a free life according to her will. Her fatal fall from Lefkata�s cape, where in ancient times there was a temple of god Apollo, god of music, light, and patron of the arts and divination, signifies the death of the gods of Olympus. Their place has been taken by a harsh reality, the revelation of the demands of the human soul, its desires, and its dead ends. Greece will need and still needs a long way to go to find the place it deserves in history, free from patriarchal structures, prejudices, and the impasses that they entail. The story of Calliope Stavro proves in practice the predicament of the female under the patriarchal standards of her era and the unsatisfied desires of the human psyche, which are sacrificed for the sake of survival, most times with unpredictable, unpleasant and unhappy results.

К настоящему времени лапидарий Фанагории насчитывает (с учетом публикуемых) 100 древнегреческих надписей. Для 1000-летней истории крупного античного города эта цифра выглядит весьма незначительной. Пять новых надписей из раскопок Фанагории в 2019 и 2021 гг. представлены в статье. Надпись № 1 вырезана на небольшом мраморном прямоугольном блоке и датируется концом 1 в. до н. э. – первой половиной 1 в. н. э. Сохранилась правая часть трехстрочной надписи. Внешний вид мраморного блока с надписью дает основание предполагать, что он служил основанием для вотивного приношения (небольшой статуэтки?). Надпись на нем была, видимо, посвятительной, имя божества располагалось в начале надписи и не сохранилось. После имени божества вырезаны имена и отчества трех дедикантов. Полностью сохранилось отчество последнего посвятителя – Батий. Надпись № 2 представляет собой остатки шести строк на правой стороне мраморной плиты. Надпись неясного содержания и датируется второй половиной 2 в. н. э. Предполагается восстановления нескольких личных имен. Надпись № 3 вырезана на колонне серого мрамора и содержит посвящение Богу Высочайшему неким Юлием (полное имя не сохранилось). Оно датируется 60-ми – началом 70-х годов 2 в. н. э. Посвящение Богу Высочайшему встречено в Фанагории впервые, несмотря на широкое распространение этого монотеистического культа в крупных боспорских городах в 2–3 вв. н. э. Надпись № 4 вырезана на блоке мраморовидного известняка значительного размера. Она датируется 217 г. б. э. и поставлена от имени общины Агриппии (быв. Фанагории). Внушительные размеры блока позволяют думать, что блок был частью какого-то городского сооружения, и надпись на нем была, по всей видимости, строительной. Надпись № 5 вырезана на мраморной плите и представляет собой фрагмент, по мнению автора, строительной надписи царя Рескупорида II (210–227 гг.). В надписи, предположительно, сообщается о восстановительных работах городских стен, башен и их фундаментов. Эти работы были осуществлены попечением эпимелета, чье имя не сохранилось. Today, Phanagoria’s lapidarium has a hundred ancient Greek inscriptions, including the ones published here. Considering the thousand-year history of a large ancient city, this amount seems very small. Five new inscriptions coming from excavations at Phanagoria in 2019 and 2021 are discussed in this article. Inscription 1 is carved on a small rectangular marble block and dates to the end of the I century BC – first half of the I century AD. The right part of the three-line inscription has been preserved. The appearance of the marble block with the inscription suggests that it served as the basis for a votive offering or, maybe, a small statuette. Apparently, the inscription was a dedicatory one. The name of the deity was located at the beginning of the inscription and is not preserved. After the deity’s name, names and patronymics of three dedicants are carved. The patronymic of the last initiator, Bates, has been fully preserved. Inscription 2 represents the remains of six lines on the right side of a marble slab. The in scription’s content is unclear. It dates between the second half of the second century AD. Several names are expected to be read on the inscription. Inscription 3 is carved on a grey marble column and contains a dedication to the Most High God by a certain Julius (his full name has not been preserved). It dates back to the 60–70 AD. A dedication to the Most High God is seen in Phanagoria for the first time, despite the wide spread of this monotheistic cult in large Bosporan cities in the second–third centuries AD. Inscription 4 is carved on a block of marble-like limestone of a rather big size. It dates back to 217 CE and was erected by the community of Agrippia (former Phanagoria). The impressive size of the block suggests that the block was part of an urban structure, and the inscription on it was, apparently, related to construction. Inscription 5 is carved on a marble slab. It is only preserved fragmentary. According to the article’s author, it is a part of a building inscription of King Reskuporides II (210–227 AD). The inscription, presumably, talks about the restoration work of the city walls, towers and their foundations. These works were carried out under the care of epimeletos, whose name has not been preserved.

After one decade of experimental investigation, the Vortex-Induced Motion – VIM phenomenon deserves a comprehensive survey concerning the advances related to its understanding, mainly under the consideration of the fundamental aspects that keep it in a close relationship to the dynamic behavior of the same phenomenon acting on slender bodies, the well known Vortex-Induced Vibration – VIV. A considerable amount of results can be found in the literature, although there are few works dealing with a general view of the problem. Probably, the main reason for such a large amount of works with no interaction between themselves and, consequently, without a common understanding about VIM might be due to its technological origin, featured by huge platforms with a variety of geometrical details, which ends up placing the researches more on the field of the faithful reproduction of the features in small-scale and less on the global understanding of the phenomenology regardless the floating system, e.g. a spar platform, a monocolumn or even a semi-submersible or a tension-leg platform. Obviously, no one should disagree that there is part of the research that must keep a faithful relationship with the full scale, however, in most of them it is possible to identify the common fundamentals concerning the fluid-structural interaction. The aim of the present work is to address a comprehensive evaluation of the experimental investigations during the past decade on the VIM, trying to gather a general understanding about its phenomenology including some comparisons to VIV. As a result, some relevant aspects are pointed out for a more prospective way of research.

Conventional methods for fabricating ultrasound imaging transducer arrays, especially for high frequency range (>20 MHz), are expensive, time consuming and limited to relatively simple geometries. In this paper, the development of an additive manufacturing (AM) process based on digital micromirror devices (DMDs) is presented for the fabrication of piezoelectric devices such as ultrasound transducer arrays. Both green-part fabrication and the sintering of fabricated green-parts have been studied. A novel two-channel design in the bottom-up projection system is presented to address the piezo-composite fabrication challenges including a small curing depth and viscous ceramic slurry recoating. A prototype system has been developed for the fabrication of green-parts with complex shapes and small features. Based on the fabricated green-parts, the challenges in the sintering process for achieving desired functionality are discussed. Various approaches for increasing the density of sintered components are presented. Dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the fabricated samples are measured and compared with those of bulk PZT samples. Based on the identified challenges in the DMD-based AM process, future work for achieving fully functional piezoelectric ceramic components is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Green or living walls are active bio-filters developed to enhance air quality. Often, these walls form the base from which plants are grown; and the plant-wall system helps to remove both gaseous and particulate air pollutants. A green wall can be found indoors as well as outdoors, and could be assembled from modules in an arrangement similar to tiling. The module is a rectangular plastic box (dimensions about 500 mm × 500 mm × 130 mm) that holds a permeable bag containing a plant-growing medium (replacement for soil). The front face of the module has multiple openings for plants to protrude out from the bag inside. Plant roots are imbedded in the medium. A fan positioned at a central opening on the module’s back face drives air through the medium-plant-roots mix and then onward through the plants′ canopy; and these would help remove both gaseous and particulate pollutants from the air. Volatile Organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matters PMs are both reduced by passing through the plant-growing medium, thus reducing the percentage of air flow that passes through the open top face of the module is essential to maximize the capacity of bio-filtration. Drip-irrigation water is dispensed from a tube running along the open top-face of the module. The module has also a small drainage hole on its bottom face. Pressure drop across the module as well as air-flow rate through it have been obtained in a previous work [1], air-flow distribution through the module and the effect of introducing a cover to the module’s open top face are investigated in this work to improve the design of the module and achieve more appropriate flow rate and flow distribution. The top cover essentially includes small holes of 10 mm diameter to allow the necessary irrigation. The measurements help to determine the pattern of flow resistances which in turn will be used in a future CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Numerical simulation of green water violent impact on a 2-D floating body is carried out using a Constrained Interpolation Profile (CIP)-based model and validated by a newly designed experiment, which is carried out in a two-dimensional wave flume in the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University, Japan. In this work, focused wave are used for green water phenomena. Numerical simulations are performed by a CIP-based Cartesian grid method, which is described in the paper. Fluid-structure interaction is treated as a multi-phase flow problem. The CIP algorithm is adopted as the base scheme to obtain a robust flow solver for the multi-phase flow problem. The free surface/interface boundary is captured by THINC/SW (THINC: tangent of hyperbola for interface capturing; SW: Slope Weighting). A model of a box-shaped floating body with a small freeboard is adopted in order to easily obtain green water phenomena in the experiment. Main attentions are paid to the body responses, nonlinear phenomena, such as green water and violent impact forces. The highly nonlinear wave-body interactions, including significant body motion and water on deck, are modeled successfully in comparison with experimental measurement.

The conduct of enterprises is crucial to the natural environment’s well-being and to a just transition. Most enterprises, including small ones, are implementing measures to reduce waste and carbon emissions; in the majority of cases this entails no cost or even a reduction in production costs. Measures to green the places where people carry out their work are an integral part of the greening of enterprises and are important to both workers and employers. But more needs to be done to help enterprises and workplaces become green and be productive in environmentally sustainable ways. Innovative tools and solutions to make enterprises greener are highlighted in this report, including measures for small enterprises in developing countries as well as the role of social dialogue.

Full textAbstract:
The Original Objectives were modified and two were eliminated to reflect the experimental results: Objective 1 - Identify additional genetic variability in SlGLK2 and IPin wild, traditional and heirloom tomato varieties Objective 2 - Determine carbon balance and horticultural characteristics of isogenic lines expressing functional and non-functional alleles of GLKsand IP Background: The goal of the research was to understand the unique aspects of chloroplasts and photosynthesis in green fruit and the consequences of increasing the chloroplast capacity of green fruit for ripe fruit sugars, yield, flavor and nutrient qualities. By focusing on the regulation of chloroplast formation and development solely in fruit, our integrated knowledge of photosynthetic structures/organs could be broadened and the results of the work could impact the design of manipulations to optimize quality outputs for the agricultural fruit with enhanced sugars, nutrients and flavors. The project was based on the hypothesis that photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic plastid metabolism in green tomato fruit is controlled at a basal level by light for minimal energy requirements but fruit-specific genes regulate further development of robust chloroplasts in this organ. Our BARD project goals were to characterize and quantitate the photosynthesis and chloroplast derived products impacted by expression of a tomato Golden 2- like 2 transcription factor (US activities) in a diverse set of 31 heirloom tomato lines and examine the role of another potential regulator, the product of the Intense Pigment gene (IP activities). Using tomato Golden 2-like 2 and Intense Pigment, which was an undefined locus that leads to enhanced chloroplast development in green fruit, we sought to determine the benefits and costs of extensive chloroplast development in fruit prior to ripening. Major conclusions, solutions, achievements: Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter, coding and intronicSlGLK2 sequences of 20 heirloom tomato lines were identified and three SlGLK2 promoter lineages were identified; two lineages also had striped fruit variants. Lines with striped fruit but no shoulders were not identified. Green fruit chlorophyll and ripe fruit soluble sugar levels were measured in 31 heirloom varieties and fruit size correlates with ripe fruit sugars but dark shoulders does not. A combination of fine mapping, recombinant generation, RNAseq expression and SNP calling all indicated that the proposed localization of a single locus IP on chr 10 was incorrect. Rather, the IP line harbored 11 separate introgressions from the S. chmielewskiparent, scattered throughout the genome. These introgressions harbored ~3% of the wild species genome and no recombinant consistently recovered the IP parental phenotype. The 11 introgressions were dissected into small combinations in segregating recombinant populations. Based on these analyses two QTL for Brix content were identified, accounting for the effect of increased Brix in the IP line. Scientific and agricultural implications: SlGLK2 sequence variation in heirloom tomato varieties has been identified and can be used to breed for differences in SlGLK2 expression and possibly in the green striped fruit phenotype. Two QTL for Brix content have been identified in the S. chmielewskiparental line and these can be used for increasing soluble solids contents in breeding programs.

This rapid literature review finds that women have been disproportionately affected by Covid-19 in several ways. As the Covid-19 pandemic began, it was widely predicted that women would face worse outcomes than men in many spheres. This was based on evidence of pre-existing inequalities (e.g. the high share of women in informal work) and evidence from earlier disease outbreaks such as Ebola. Evidence from the past year and a half supports the idea that women have been disproportionately affected by Covid-19 in many of the issues investigated for this report. A wide-ranging World Bank review of evidence from April 2020 to April 2021 states that “women often appear to have lost out more than men economically and socially” (Nieves et al., 2021, p. 4). It was not possible to find evidence on the effect of Covid-19 on women’s role in the green economy and the effects of climate change (beyond calls for inclusive green growth), or on gender stereotyping in the media (although there is a small amount of literature on perceptions of women leaders during the pandemic). In all cases, the effect of Covid-19 and measures to suppress it have directly or indirectly continued or worsened pre-existing inequalities. In some instances, Covid-19 has created distinct difficulties for women (e.g. lockdowns and increased domestic violence). This report has found no evidence of Covid-19 improving the position of women in the areas of interest surveyed, beyond possible benefits from working from home for some women in high-income countries; and some suggestions that female leadership during the pandemic may lead to better perceptions of women (Piazza & Diaz, 2020). Studies also point to the intersection of gender with other factors, such as caste and ethnicity, leading to worse outcomes (Chen et al., 2021; Kabeer et al., 2021). In many cases, migrant women and women with disabilities are at an increased disadvantage. The report focuses on evidence from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and G7 members. It is not comprehensive but surveys the available evidence focusing on global, regional or synthesis evidence to provide a more representative coverage. It, therefore, does not cover every context or provide any country case studies and overlooks variations in some countries in favour of broader trends.

Gene regulation at the RNA level encompasses multiple mechanisms in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, including splicing, editing, endo- and exonucleolytic cleavage, and various phenomena related to small or interfering RNAs. Ribonucleases are key players in nearly all of these post-transcriptional mechanisms, as the catalytic agents. This proposal continued BARD-funded research into ribonuclease activities in the chloroplast, where RNase mutation or deficiency can cause metabolic defects and is often associated with plant chlorosis, embryo or seedling lethality, and/or failure to tolerate nutrient stress. The first objective of this proposal was to examined a series of point mutations in the PNPase enzyme of Arabidopsis both in vivo and in vitro. This goal is related to structure-function analysis of an enzyme whose importance in many cellular processes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes has only begun to be uncovered. PNPase substrates are mostly generated by endonucleolytic cleavages for which the catalytic enzymes remain poorly described. The second objective of the proposal was to examine two candidate enzymes, RNase E and RNase J. RNase E is well-described in bacteria but its function in plants was still unknown. We hypothesized it catalyzes endonucleolytic cleavages in both RNA maturation and decay. RNase J was recently discovered in bacteria but like RNase E, its function in plants had yet to be explored. The results of this work are described in the scientific manuscripts attached to this report. We have completed the first objective of characterizing in detail TILLING mutants of PNPase Arabidopsis plants and in parallel introducing the same amino acids changes in the protein and characterize the properties of the modified proteins in vitro. This study defined the roles for both RNase PH core domains in polyadenylation, RNA 3’-end maturation and intron degradation. The results are described in the collaborative scientific manuscript (Germain et al 2011). The second part of the project aimed at the characterization of the two endoribonucleases, RNase E and RNase J, also in this case, in vivo and in vitro. Our results described the limited role of RNase E as compared to the pronounced one of RNase J in the elimination of antisense transcripts in the chloroplast (Schein et al 2008; Sharwood et al 2011). In addition, we characterized polyadenylation in the chloroplast of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and in Arabidopsis (Zimmer et al 2009). Our long term collaboration enabling in vivo and in vitro analysis, capturing the expertise of the two collaborating laboratories, has resulted in a biologically significant correlation of biochemical and in planta results for conserved and indispensable ribonucleases. These new insights into chloroplast gene regulation will ultimately support plant improvement for agriculture.

Our overall goal was to engineer crop plants with enhanced resistance to Orobanche (broomrape) based on the inducible expression of sarcotoxin-like peptide (SLP). A secondary objective was to localize small proteins such as SLP in the host-parasite union in order to begin characterizing the mechanism of SLP toxicity to Orobanche. We have successfully accomplished both of these objectives and have demonstrated that transgenic tobacco plants expressing SLP under control of the HMG2 promoter show enhanced resistance to O. aegyptiaca and O. ramosa . Furthermore, we have shown that proteins much larger than the SLP move into Orobanche tubercles from the host root via either symplastic or apoplastic routes. This project was initiated with the finding that enhanced resistance to Orobanche could be conferred on tobacco, potato, and tomato by expression of SLP (Sarcotoxin IA is a 40-residue peptide produced as an antibiotic by the flesh fly, Sarcophaga peregrina ) under the control of a low-level, root-specific promoter. To improve the level of resistance, we linked the SLP gene to the promoter from HMG2, which is strongly inducible by Orobanche as it parasitizes the host. The resulting transgenic plants express SLP and show increased resistance to Orobanche. Resistance in this case is manifested by increased growth and yield of the host in the presence of the parasite as compared to non-transgenic plants, and decreased parasite growth. The mechanism of resistance appears to operate post-attachment as the parasite tubercles attached to the transgenic root plants turned necrotic and failed to develop normally. Studies examining the movement of GFP (approximately 6X the size of SLP) produced in tobacco roots showed accumulation of green fluorescence in tubercles growing on transformed plants but not in those growing on wild-type plants. This accumulation occurs regardless of whether the GFP is targeted to the cytoplasm (translocated symplastically) or the apoplastic space (translocated in xylem). Plants expressing SLP appear normal as compared to non-transgenic plants in the absence of Orobanche, so there is no obvious unintended impact on the host plant from SLP expression. This project required the creation of several gene constructs and generation of many transformed plant lines in order to address the research questions. The specific objectives of the project were to: 1. Make gene constructs fusing Orobanche-inducible promoter sequences to either the sarcotoxin-like peptide (SLP) gene or the GFP reporter gene. 2. Create transgenic plants containing gene constructs. 3. Characterize patterns of transgene expression and host-to-parasite movement of gene products in tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) and Arabidopsis thaliana (L.). 4. Characterize response of transgenic potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) and tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill .) to Orobanche in lab, greenhouse, and field. Objectives 1 and 2 were largely accomplished during the first year during Dr. Aly's sabbatical visit to Virginia Tech. Transforming and analyzing plants with all the constructs has taken longer than expected, so efforts have concentrated on the most important constructs. Work on objective 4 has been delayed pending the final results of analysis on tobacco and Arabidopsis transgenic plants. The implications of this work are profound, because the Orobanche spp. is an extremely destructive weed that is not controlled effectively by traditional cultural or herbicidal weed control strategies. This is the first example of engineering resistance to parasitic weeds and represents a unique mode of action for selective control of these weeds. This research highlights the possibility of using this technique for resistance to other parasitic species and demonstrates the feasibility of developing other novel strategies for engineering resistance to parasitic weeds.

Full textAbstract:
arbon dioxide (CO₂) has a negative impact on the climate, but it also has several practical areas of use. Many industrial processes emit CO₂ in high concentrations, which could be captured to mitigate emissions while also creating valuable products. One example of such a process is biogas upgrading – a process separating renewable gases, where methane is taken care of for use as vehicle fuel or industrial energy carrier, while CO₂ is released into the atmosphere. The aim of this project has been to chart alternatives and technologies for taking care of green CO₂ from biogas upgrading, so-called carbon capture and utilization (CCU), and to investigate the conditions for applying these in a Swedish context. The work has been guided by the following research questions: * How large is the current and future potential for CCU from biogas production? * What are the possible areas of use for CO₂ from biogas production? * What factors influence the choice of areas of use for CO₂ from biogas production? * How large is the environmental benefit of CCU from biogas production? To answer these questions, calculations of potentials, a multi-criteria assessment and a life cycle assessment were carried out, based on the Swedish biogas production. A reference group comprising representatives for large Swedish companies within biogas production and biogas upgrading technology was used to enable coproduction and networking between the research group and the business sector. The production of CO₂ from biogas was estimated to 160,000 ton/year in 2020, with potential to increase to 540,000 – 840,000 ton/year in a few years and 790,000 – 1,230,000 ton/year in a longer perspective, as a consequence of an expected increase in the Swedish biogas production. A large share of the CO₂ is however produced at relatively small upgrading facilities, which could limit the feasibility for CCU due to high costs for investment and operation. Adding hydrogen to transform all the CO₂ into methane could potentially increase the methane production from biogas from 2 to 3 TWh/year in a short-term perspective and from 11 to 17 TWh/year in a long-term perspective, given sufficient access to hydrogen. Other ways of utilizing CO₂ from biogas include production of biomass or chemicals, concrete curing, pH control of process water and use as a refrigerant. The choice of CCU options can be influenced by environmental, technical, economic and policy-related aspects. From the biogas producers’ perspective, methanation is the option that is the most compatible with the existing production system and business model, while other solutions usually involve another actor taking care of the CO₂. Hydrogen is required for methanation as well as for production of chemicals. Another limiting factor are the high purity requirements on all CO₂ that is distributed and sold on the market. The geographical distribution of the production plants can also be a challenge. Several CCU options can improve the environmental performance of biogas by replacing fossil-based products. The potential climate impact is the lowest if the CO₂ is methanized with renewable hydrogen or mineralized in concrete, but other forms of environmental impact can also be reduced by applying these or other CCU options. For comparison, permanent storage of CO₂ in geological formations (carbon capture and storage, CCS) only reduces the climate impact, while it increases other forms of environmental impact. Furthermore, permanently storing biogenic CO₂ can make it difficult to reduce the use of fossil CO₂ and transition to a more sustainable society. The need for carbon in many essential processes and products suggests that biogenic CO₂ should be utilized and not stored.
