Abstract:
AbstractHeritage stone was initially considered in terms of building stone; however, the use of natural stone extends much more widely into utilitarian applications, implements by prehistoric humans as well as decorative stones and gemstones. Nevertheless, there are limits to heritage stone designation where it may seem that recognition of a Global Heritage Stone Resource is inappropriate despite some favourable aspects.

Abstract:
Stone grinding tools (i.e. querns or grinding stones / millstones / metates and handstones or grinders / upper milling stones / manos) constitute an important part of the material culture recovered in prehistoric excavations. These implements, as well as the technological category in which they are traditionally attributed, known by the generic term ‘ground stone tools’, and by the more recently proposed term ‘macrolithic tools’, received the interest they deserve not long ago, through specialized studies.

Abstract:
During the field research initiated by the Paria Archaeological Project (PAP) in 2004 in the area of the Paria Basin (Oruro Dept., Bolivia), and then during the excavation in the municipality of Paria, several agricultural stone tools were discovered. Their raw material is partly volcanic rock and partly sandstone. The stone tools have not yet been described in more detail. In the present article, from the whole set of artefacts 22 stone tools classified into different archaeological periods will be presented. As the area of the Paria Basin itself is less researched and there are relatively few publications on the topic, the amount of information gathered during the processing of the finds will also be outlined. The review also includes a brief discussion of the potential geological sources of raw materials for stone tools.

Abstract:
Introduction The materials from which tools are made reflect the intention of tool makers concerning function, use, size and shape of the tools. Even the materials of stone implements in prehistoric times must have reflected the intention of tool makers. Inada (1969: 4) pointed out that the technology of making tools reflects the interacting elements of materials and retouchments. It is a fundamental premise of this paper that understanding patterns of raw material utilization for stone implements is a key to the solution of questions concerning cultural tradition, cultural behaviour, culture areas and trade in the stone age.

Abstract:
This dissertation is concerned with the analysis of selected blade assemblages from Late Devensian and Early Flandrian contexts in Southern Britain (c. 12,500 - 9,000 BP). The British sites studied are divided into three main groupings: Upper Palaeolithic, Long Blade, and Mesolithic, each of which contains material of a typologically and technologically distinct nature. Despite previous important studies in the British Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic, no major work until now has been undertaken on the third technology, that of the Long Blade sites, which seems to occupy a chronological position intermediate between the other two. The dissertation incorporates the first comprehensive description of material from Long Blade sites and contrasts it with the sets of artefacts from the other two groups. Comparative data from the Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic derive mainly from primary information recovered in two excavations directed by myself at Hengistbury Head between 1980-4. The chapters consider the archaeological material in chronological order beginning in Chapter 1 with the Late Upper Palaeolithic assemblage from Hengistbury Head. Chapters 2 and 3 are devoted to the Long Blade assemblages from Britain and Northwestern Europe, whilst in the fourth chapter the Early Mesolithic material from Hengistbury and related sites in Southern Britain is considered. The fifth and last chapter is given over to discussion and final conclusions. Appended to the last chapter is a gazetteer of 159 specified Long Blade findspots in Southern Britain, the first time this material has ever been gathered together. Explanatory notes and a key are provided at the front of the Gazetteer. In studying the artefacts I have laid particular emphasis on technology as well as typology, and in studying technology I have been particularly influenced by my own work on the experimental manufacture and use of implements. Given that my two excavated sites were very little disturbed, I have also been able to make major use of conjoining artefacts, not only as an aid to understanding the differing techniques of artefact manufacture, but also in interpreting the archaeology of the sites. Some use was also made of experimental taphonomy. These aspects of my work are referred to in the text, notably in Chapters 1 and 4.

Full text
Abstract:
Diagnostic flake analysis is based on the concept that distinct flintknapping techniques produce distinctive flakes. Seen in this light, the information potential of flakes is enormous. Unfortunately, this information is virtually lost in analyses based upon size-grading a flake assemblage or separating flakes statistically based on a few "key" attributes. The intent of this study is to provide and apply a well-integrated analytical approach based upon the diagnostic flake concept.In order to integrate the static lithic artifacts to the dynamic behavior that produced them, a generalized flow chart model of the knapping event is developed. The flow chart model emphasizes the debitage produced during knapping, rather than finished lithic tools. The flow chart model is described in detail, and the terms"technology", "strategy", and "techniques" are defined and contrasted.A total of 30 reduction experiments were conducted in the course of this study, producing an estimated 27,000 flakes and flake fragments. Based on this sample and previous work conducted by Flenniken (n. d. ) and others, nine diagnostic flake types and three significant flake attributes are defined.An ideal methodology for a lithic analysis is developed. This ideal methodology includes: 1) assessing the types of raw materials present on a site; 2) reconstructing the technology based on negative-flake scars on finished tools; 3) flake refitting; 4) classifying flakes into the diagnostic flake categories nonstatistically and polythetically, with special emphasis placed on recognizing previously unidentified diagnostic flake types; 5) developing a flow chart model of reconstructed prehistoric technology; and 6) summarizing the flow chart i n verbal form.The methodology is applied to the Middle and Late Woodland components of the stratified All Seasons site located in central Indiana. Analysis of the Middle Woodland assemblage results in the recognition and definition of conical core flake blanks.The methodology is applied to a blind test manufactured by Donald Cochran to assess bias that may have been introduced into the flake type definitions by using debitage produced only by the author. Cochran's behavior is accurately reconstructed.Finally, the results of the study are discussed, and the study's strengths and weaknesses are determined. Diagnostic flake analysis is found to be a powerful approach that derives an optimal amount of high-quality information from a chipped stone assemblage.

Abstract:
This thesis examines a lithic assemblage from Cat�s Eye Point (J42/4), Kakanui, North Otago, New Zealand. This archaic site was excavated during 1996 and 1997 and the lithic assemblage was collected from 41m� excavated during these two seasons. Previous studies of lithic material from New Zealand and the Pacific are reviewed to indicate the range of information that can be gained from lithic analysis. Themes of research in the North Otago region are also examined to place Cat�s Eye Point into its regional context. This thesis had three main areas of investigation. The first involved a descriptive and technological analysis of the debitage using mass flake analysis (MFA) and individual flake analysis (IFA). Formal artefacts, such as hammerstones, blanks, and performs, were also examined. Secondly, spatial analysis was used to determine if the lithic assemblage could be used to infer intra-site activity areas. This was conducted by analysing macro- (flakes larger than 3mm) and microdebitage (flakes less than 3mm) by examining the range of material types. The third area of investigation examined debitage recovered from 6.4mm (1/4 inch) and 3.2mm (1/8 inch) sieves to determine if any significant technological information was gained by debitage from the 3.2mm sieve. The conclusions of this study indicate that there were two methods of basalt cobble reduction at Cat�s Eye Point for adze production. Adze production at Cat�s Eye Point was opportunistic and the non-local material curated. The results of the debitage analysis indicate that the entire sequence of adze manufacture did not occur in the excavated area of Cat�s Eye Point and the initial cobble reduction probably occurred on the adjacent beach where the cobbles are found today. Consequently, coastal rock outcrops, even without evidence of associated debitage, must be viewed as potential sources of rock for stone tool manufacture unless determined otherwise. The spatial analysis detected two activity areas and a disposal area at Cat�s Eye Point. The analysis of the 6.4mm and 3.2mm debitage found that no significant technological information was gained by examining the smaller flakes.

Abstract:
AbstractVarious techniques have been proposed to accelerate explicit-state model checking with GPUs, but none address the compact storage of states, or if they do, at the cost of losing completeness of the checking procedure. We investigate how to implement a tree database to store states as binary trees in GPU memory. We present fine-grained parallel algorithms to find and store trees, experiment with a number of GPU-specific configurations, and propose a novel hashing technique, called Cleary-Cuckoo hashing, which enables the use of Cleary compression on GPUs. We are the first to assess the effectiveness of using a tree database, and Cleary compression, on GPUs. Experiments show processing speeds of up to 131 million states per second.

AbstractWe describe our implementation of downset-manipulating algorithms used to solve the realizability problem for linear temporal logic (LTL). These algorithms were introduced by Filiot et al. in the 2010s and implemented in the tools Acacia and Acacia+ in C and Python. We identify degrees of freedom in the original algorithms and provide a complete rewriting of Acacia in C++20 articulated around genericity and leveraging modern techniques for better performance. These techniques include compile-time specialization of the algorithms, the use of SIMD registers to store vectors, and several preprocessing steps, some relying on efficient Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) libraries. We also explore different data structures to store downsets. The resulting tool is competitive against comparable modern tools.

AbstractThis work presents a real-time system for tracking multiple object in the context of meal preparation when using the Cognitive Orthosis for CoOKing (COOK). This system is called SafeCOOK. It aims to provide more capabilities to detect some dangerous situations that the current system does not consider. For example, it can locate a utensil or other kitchen object that has been left on the cooking surface of the stove while a meal is being prepared. This system uses a hybrid method based on YOLO and KCF to detect, track and drop cooking utensils as they enter and leave the cooking area, and is capable of monitoring an entire cooktop in real-time with a single camera. The software has been implemented on an embedded platform in the smart stove and has been added to it. The system produces good segmentation and tracking results at a frame rate of 1 to 4 frames per second, as demonstrated in extensive experiments using video sequences under different conditions.

AbstractThis chapter explores the different activities associated with the use of food and hotel services—represented as the contact points of a customer journey map—to establish what type of circular practices could implement the stakeholders throughout the process—specifically, those that lead to more circular business models that integrate the seven Rs (redesign, reduce, reuse, renovate/repair, re-store/remanufacture, recover/return, and recycle) to achieve more efficient and sustainable performance. From the booking process to the evaluation of customer satisfaction, the interactions of hotels or restaurants with suppliers from different economic sectors determine a variety of activities in their value chain that create synergies, improve circularity and add value to the tourism sector through the implementation of sustainable practices or the acquisition of sustainable products and services. Based on the literature, reports and lessons learned in the sector through specific focus groups previously conducted by the research team, the proposed model can help hotel and restaurant managers to take steps towards the circular economy.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Netherlands pursues a ‘dual strategy’—national and international—with regard to the management of radioactive waste and spent fuel. On the national level an above-ground facility was built in the 1990s to store radioactive waste for a period of at least 100 years. By around the year 2130 a geological disposal facility is envisaged to be operational. The Netherlands also pursues an international strategy, which leaves the possibility open for collaboration with other European Union Member States to establish a shared geological disposal facility. Currently, the country’s radioactive waste policy lacks a concrete step-by-step decision-making process to implement the above dual strategy. This chapter identifies several decision-making challenges that need to be addressed, such as clarifying the principles of retrievability and reversibility, setting up criteria to reserve potential search locations for a geological disposal facility, developing a long-term, integral, participatory knowledge agenda, strengthening the knowledge landscape and developing a participatory decision-making process that enjoys public and political support.

AbstractThis is a study of the communication of environmental risk associated with the planned removal of arsenic from the copper mining fields in Riddarhyttan, central Sweden. The study was implemented using in-depth interviews with community residents and representatives from the local, regional, and national governments, as well as walk-and-talk sessions near contaminated grounds to learn about the value of these places to local people and their reflections on risk. The study identified how local residents had to navigate between messages from authorities that touching stones could be life threatening at the same time as they were told that risk was non-existent. This resulted in mixed and affective feelings regarding place, community, and the role the copper industry had played in the past. The case is an illuminating example of how perception and communication is embedded in the social and cultural reality of local communities.

Статья посвящена погребению, открытому на участке Восточного некрополя Фанагории в 2016 году. Оно относится к редким погребальным комплексам эллинистического времени – каменным ящикам. Гробница осталась непотревоженной древними и современными грабителями, что дало возможность объективно оценить положение покойного и сопутствующий инвентарь. Хорошо сохранившееся сооружение позволило детально разобрать конструктивные особенности и строительные приемы, используемые создателями гробницы. Усыпальница была построена из обработанных блоков известняка во 2 в. до н. э., судя по всему она имитировала каменный саркофаг. Внутри был обнаружен скелет взрослого человека и сопровождавший его погребальный инвентарь. У тела покойного найден набор керамической посуды. У ног стояла деревянная шкатулка, в ней хранились туалетные принадлежности, среди которых такие предметы, как бронзовое зеркало с рельефной ручкой, свинцовая пиксида, туалетная ложка. Эти находки свидетельствуют о том, что в гробнице нашла последнее пристанище состоятельная жительница столицы Азиатского Боспора. Публикуемый комплекс пополняет серию немногочисленных каменных гробниц древнего города, а его выдающаяся сохранность имеет большое значение для реконструкции погребальных обрядов и уровня жизни состоятельных жителей эллинистической Фанагории. The article deals with a burial uncovered at the Eastern necropolis of Phanagoria in 2016. It is a rare type of Hellenistic burials: in a stone cist. The burial remained undisturbed by ancient and modern grave-robbers, thus offering a good opportunity to examine the position of the buried person and the grave-goods. The well-preserved cist made it possible to consider in detail the constructive features and technologies applied by the creators of the grave. The burial chamber was built of regular limestone blocks in the 2nd century B.C. It evidently imitated a stone sarcophagus. Inside, a skeleton of a grown-up person was found, along with grave goods which included a set of ceramic vessels, a wooden casket with toilet implements: a bronze mirror with a decorated handle, a led pixis, and a toilet spoon. These finds prove that the buried person was a noble woman who lived in the capital of the Asian Bosporos. The burial considered here adds to the small number of stone graves of the ancient city discovered to date, and its fine state of preservation is significant for the reconstruction of the burial rites of the upper classes of Hellenistic Phanagoria.

Abstract:
Abstract The mean-line method, as the corner stone of preliminary aerodynamic design of axial-flow compressors, is heavily dependent on the accuracy and robustness of empirical prediction models, mainly the deviation models and loss models. A large number of such models have been developed, however, a comprehensive evaluation of their prediction capabilities was lacked yet. To carry out the accuracy and sensitivity analysis of these prediction models developed in the both academic and industry communities, we here developed a one-dimensional mean-line method which implements several widely used deviation and loss models. Then, the developed mean-line method was applied to predict the speed-lines of aerodynamic performance for three representative transonic axial-flow compressors, i.e., NASA Rotor 35, NASA Stage 35 and NASA 74A first front three-stage. The parallel coordinates method was particularly adopted to effectively perform the sensitivity analysis of totally 2448 combinations of deviation and loss models through a heuristic comparison of the model predictions with the available experimental data. The accuracy analysis indicates that, by using the best model combinations, the prediction error of peak efficiency point is generally kept below 2% whereas that of surge margin varies significantly from 3.03% to 18.93%. However, the most accurate model combination is dependent on the compressor type and rotational speed. The sensitivity analysis shows that the prediction robustness is remarkably influenced by the deviation model accounting for axial velocity ratio effect, the design shock loss model and the off-design total loss model. This work provides the design engineers with prediction model selection, and the model developers with prediction improvement direction for axial-flow compressors.

Abstract:
Many universities around the world have formed strategic alliances with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems vendors to incorporate these types of systems into their curriculum. Over the past few years the sharing of curriculum resources between universities has facilitated this process. Universities are now struggling with the concept of how to develop e-business curriculum incorporating their existing ERP system. Universities are faced with firstly having to implement the available functionality and then develop the appropriate curriculum. This paper describes a student centric method to assist universities with this curriculum delivery. Students at Victoria University have implemented and documented the implementation process of SAP’s OnLine Store. This documentation will be freely distributed to other universities to assist them with their implementation. Staff at the University are in the process of developing ebusiness curriculum based on the OnLine Store which will also be distributed to other universities.

Abstract:
A large proportion of the data created during the inspection and assessment of stone facades and their damages is recorded in formats that are not machine-readable and thus cannot be further processed or managed digitally. Consequently, this increases the risk of data loss and incorrect information due to human misinterpretation. Therefore, a Multimodel-based approach has been developed in which stone facades of existing buildings are digitized as IFC-model by using proxy entities and linked with web ontologies for semantic enrichment. Additionally, detected anomalies in the stone structure are implemented and linked with geometrical representations. By utilizing additional rules and inference mechanisms, the anomalies can be classified, and a knowledge-based damage assessment is processed.

Abstract:
<p>One of the high and tough mountain passes in Korea, Mungyeong-Saejae, a National historic site (Claim No. 147) in Korea, has been appeared forming the integrated cultural context by restoring the lost water-gate bridge located on the west side of the lowest gate. This place was fortified with three gates in 1708 and became a strategic place for the national defense while serving as the traffic gateway. However, the site lacked of the cultural context due to the loss of water-gate bridge on the west side of the lowest gate. This water-gate bridge equipped with a defensive device within the two voussoir arches was now restored using traditional construction method. This paper has first discussed on what reasons caused the loss of the bridge by performing the safety analysis considering both the structural stability of the bridge and the water flow stability of the bridge site against scouring. Then, the strengthening strategy was developed for the original arch shape by adopting the traditional construction method. However, the design requirement about water flow stability of the bridge site against scouring was not satisfied with the original shape of the bridge. Finally, the restoration of the water-gate bridge was implemented by enlarging the arch shape while reinforcing the structural system using the traditional strengthening method toward much safer structural behavior.</p>

Abstract:
One of the characteristic features of villages and towns is the paths that run through them. These often bear the traces of an ancient culture, which is manifested both in the materials used and in the construction and maintenance practices implemented in different territories. Rediscovering these traces is essential to understanding and safeguarding this significant component of the material history, which is often distorted or obliterated during urban interventions, owing to lack of knowledge. This paper presents a project for the enhancement and recovery of one of the traditional routes that run through Genoa from the coast to the mountains. These so-called "crêuze" are frequently made up of a central strip of bricks flanked by cobble-stones. In rainy weather, these bricks facilitate the passage of people, while proper drainage is ensured by the cambered profile and the cobble-stone side channels, which slow down the flow of water. To maximise the durability of these paths, both the construction techniques and the wise choice of materials and their processing were fundamental. Thus, this research also aims to ascertain the durability of the different materials used through their compositional and physical analysis. Awareness of the material culture that enabled such a high level of expertise to be achieved in the construction of these particular paths constitutes a valuable resource for correct interventions. The project involves private and public partners and also provides an opportunity to protect the territory through the proper management of water. In the past, water management was well organized. However, the various urban stratifications have given rise to evident problems.

Full text
Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Underground stone mines are often prone to karst formations created by the gradual erosion of carbonate rocks due to groundwater flow. The prevalent fracture network in these stone deposits offers favorable conditions for acidic dissolution, which leads to the formation of large karst cavities. The interaction of these cavities with the extensive presence of discontinuities is the major cause of ground control problems encountered during stone mining operations. This paper presents a case study for analyzing the effect of the karst cavity on the strength of a pillar in an underground room-and-pillar stone mine. Numerical analyses show that the presence of these voids in a pillar contributes to a considerable decrease in load-bearing capacity. Any development through excavation or blasting into the affected areas may pose a safety hazard to the miners. Apart from that, this may also disrupt production and burden the pre-planned mine operations. The study for estimating pillar strength using numerical modeling could provide a pragmatic approach to designing future pillars affected by karsts. The shape and volume of the karst cavities inside the concerned pillar were approximated using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys. LiDAR scans were performed to map the discontinuity network around the pillars, and Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) technique was implemented to simulate the joint network in the pillar’s rock mass. The behavior of the pillar with the increase in axial compressive stress was observed with the help of Distinct-element modeling (DEM) using 3DEC software. The pillar’s rock mass is simulated using Elastic and Mohr-Coulomb constitutive models. Two scenarios are presented to assess the pillar strength with and without the presence of karst. Pillar strength is compared to the estimated current stress levels to understand the potential for improvement in the pillar design. The research emphasizes the importance of pillar design while maximizing safety and production in underground stone mines with karst cavities to prevent pillar instability or local roof failures.

Abstract:
Air pollution is one of the primary causes of premature death worldwide. This paper examines the cost-effectiveness of two different air quality information programs that were implemented as part of randomized control trials. In the case of the SMS air quality alerts in Mexico City, we find that the program was not cost-effective in the experimental sample, but it would likely be cost-effective if the program were extended to all of Mexico City. In the case of real-time feedback on wood stove emissions in Valdivia, we find that the program was cost-effective in both the experimental sample and at scale.

Full text
Abstract:
The red necked longicorn (RNL), Aromia bungii (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), originates from eastern Asia and has become an invasive pest in Japan, Germany and Italy. Predominantly attacking stone fruit trees (Prunus spp.), RNL larvae tunnel within the cambium layer, disrupting sap flow and potentially killing the host tree. The pest poses a significant threat to both fruit production and wood production. It is considered a quarantine species in Europe, capable of spreading through wood products and plants for planting. There has been no classical biological control implemented against RNL. However, potential natural enemies include the generalist parasitoids Sclerodermus guani and Sclerodermus harmandi (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae). S. guani has shown a parasitism rate of 43% in laboratory studies and has been used in China for controlling forest pests. Other potential natural enemies include generalist predators and parasitoids, such as Dastarcus helophoroides (Coleoptera: Bothrideridae), which has been used in combination with entomopathogenic nematodes for biological control in China, and species of Braconidae and Ichneumonidae. Despite their potential, the broad host range of these natural enemies raises concerns about non-target effects.

Full text
Abstract:
This Inventory 2.0 plan identifies IMD’s planned role in each of the ten inventories, and lays out a framework for ensuring the inventories led by IMD result in scientifically credible information for parks resource management, planning, and operations; and also identifies the means by which studies to collect new inventory data will be identified, prioritized, and implemented. Highlights include: IMD plans to lead three of the ten inventories (Species, Vegetation Community Mapping, and Surficial Geology/Soils Mapping), and contribute to the others in partnership with other programs. For the three IMD-led inventories, IMD will develop (or work with the Geologic Resources Division to develop) peer-reviewed inventory science plans that will lay out inventory objectives; and methods for data management, analysis, and integration to ensure that credible and useful inventory data are provided to parks in a timely manner. IMD will phase in implementation of IMD-led inventories during the first five years of program implementation. This will allow IMD to focus near-term efforts on meeting needs identified by the greatest number of parks (Species) while conducting necessary scoping to further refine needs for Vegetation Community Mapping and Surficial Geology/Soils Mapping inventories. During the next two years, IMD inventory efforts will be focused on implementing the Species Inventory, beginning with foundational work in advance of field data collection efforts to be funded in 2020. Additional scoping to identify suitable methods and minimum product specifications for Vegetation Community and Surficial Geology/Soils Mapping will be conducted in 2019-2020. These two new inventories will be phased in based on findings from scoping and progress toward closing out existing (1.0) inventory efforts. All I&M parks will be eligible for IMD funding to support inventories (see Appendix A). Non-I&M parks established before 2000 may be eligible for studies and activities to collect new inventory data pending approval of the project by the IMD Leadership Team. Inventories 2.0 funding cannot be spent to collect new data in parks established in 2000 or later, that are not currently served by an I&M network. Existing data from other sources may still be synthesized and delivered to these parks, however. Inventories 2.0 funding will not be used to fund programs or initiatives already funded or implemented by other programs or agencies. We will endeavor to partner with these entities when possible and appropriate to meet inventory needs identified in this plan, and to ensure IMD-created inventory (and monitoring) data are available to support other programs. Data and other information products resulting from new IMD-funded inventory studies will be managed by IMD rather than third-party repositories. This does not preclude sharing data with third parties or use of third-party tools or data distribution systems. At a minimum IMD commits to make inventory data available to others via the NPS Data Store (https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/) as well as data and/or map services. To the extent possible, IMD management of inventory data will use the data management infrastructure used for managing monitoring data. This includes a commitment to leverage data, tools, systems, and expertise where it already exists. Because of IMD’s explicit mandate to integrate I&M data with planning, wherever practicable, IMD commits to work with NPS Planning to ensure map and data services are integrated into NPS Atlas projects for each park or other planning tools as they are developed over time.

Knowledge summary, Artificial upwelling: More power for the ocean’s biological carbon pump. CDRmare, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.3289/cdrmare.30.

Full text
Abstract:
Algae, zooplankton and fish are among the key players in the biological carbon pump that allows the ocean to naturally remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it at great depths. However, for this mechanism to function optimally, it needs nutrients, which are lacking in many places, at least in the light-flooded surface water. By pumping up nutrient-rich deep water, humans could remedy this nutrient deficiency. But whether artificial upwelling would actually have an effect on the climate, what risks it would entail and whether it could be technically and legally implemented on a large scale, is still uncertain.
