The Practical Decorator and Ornamentist (Glasgow, 1892), one of the jewels in James Branch Cabell Library, embodies the work of the distinguished British designers George Ashdown Audsley and Maurice A. Audsley; the eminent Scottish publishing firm of Blackie & Son; and the illustrious French printing house of Didot. The thesis argues that the Decorator is one of the great nineteenth-century design books. Chapter one focuses on G. A. Audsley’s five masterworks and illustrates the contributions of a distinguished family of architects. There has not been a study of the Audsleys in ten years, and the present study goes further than other scholars in giving the Audsleys proper credit. Chapter two examines the Blackies, summarizing for the first time their patronage of Alexander Thomson, Talwin Morris, and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Chapter three is the first close analysis of the book, tying it to A. W. N. Pugin, Owen Jones and Christopher Dresser, and opening the question of its international impact to the present.

Crabs in the family Majoidae camouflage by decorating their exoskeletons with organisms and debris from their environment. This form of camouflage, involving both the act of decorating and carrying of these decorations, is thought to be energetically costly, and may present a trade-off under stressful environmental conditions. The energetic cost of decoration behavior has been evinced by reduced organic content due to elevated metabolism. In the context of previous research demonstrating that many marine calcifiers experience metabolic costs under experimental ocean acidification conditions, we hypothesized that decorator crabs exposed to reduced pH will have insufficient energy to support regulatory processes along with decoration behavior. Thus, we predicted that energy will be allocated towards growth and calcification at the expense of decoration behavior. Dwarf teardrop crabs, Pelia tumida, were exposed to ambient (pH = 8.0, pCO2 = 613 µatm) and reduced (pH = 7.75, pCO2 = 894 µatm) pH conditions for five weeks. Half of the animals in each treatment were given two sponge species, Halichondria panacea and Haliclona permollis, to decorate with, whereas the remaining animals were not allowed to decorate. At the end of the experiment, all animals were analyzed for exoskeleton mineral content (Ca and Mg) using EDX and ICP-MS, organic content (a proxy for metabolism) using TGA, and decoration behavior by quantifying sponge mass and percent cover. Overall, decorator crabs showed no signs of energy limitation under reduced pH conditions. Neither growth, exoskeleton mineral content, nor organic content of crabs differed among pH or decoration treatments. In addition, both sponge mass and percent cover remained the same across pH treatments, indicating no effect of reduced pH on decoration behavior, and thus the ability to camouflage. The maintenance of physiological processes without metabolic costs in P. tumida exposed to reduced pH radiates from the emerging trends on the susceptibility of crustaceans to changes in ocean chemistry associated with ocean acidification.

Participating in this study were 251 decorator consultants. The decorator consultant position is a direct sales position. The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate that a relationship existed between decorators' selection test scores and their job performance. The SRA Verbal Form, the EAS Numerical Ability Test, the EAS Space Visualization Test, and the Sales Attitude Checklist were evaluated as potential selection tests. Behavioral criteria and managerial ratings were used to assess job performance. Correlational analyses revealed that all the tests but the SRA Verbal Form were significantly correlated with two or more criteria.

Fiore, Antonio David. "'In defence of the decorator' : Giulio Rosso (1897-1976) in Italy in the interwar period." Thesis, Open University, 2017. http://oro.open.ac.uk/52680/.
Анотація:
This dissertation concerns the creative practice developed by the Italian decorator Giulio Rosso (1897-1976) in Italy during the interwar period (1919-1941). Despite post-war critical oblivion, Rosso’s contemporary colleagues, intellectuals, and architects appreciated his ability to master an extremely varied repertoire, adapting it to meet different spatial requirements while also updating it through humour and stylistic references to the visual languages of contemporary fine arts and modern media. This analysis of Rosso’s output highlights decoration as a practice worth exploring and distinct from the fine arts. During the 1920s, Rosso took advantage of a new interest in decoration that was developing within the Italian cultural debate. Long despised as the product of negotiations which, arguably, limited the autonomy of the artist, decoration was re-evaluated within the context of the ‘Return to Order’ for its ability to engage artists in a relationship with society that had previously seemed lost. During the 1930s, Rosso benefited from the fascist regime’s commitment to commissioning decorative schemes for public spaces intended for mass spectacles, ritual celebrations, and indoctrination. Rather than imposing an official style, the regime welcomed any decorative approach that conformed the Party’s directives. Decorators and artists were sometimes offered opportunities to create extremely innovative and significant experimental works; at other times, they were forced to provide conventionally academic pieces of visual propaganda. Rosso’s decorative schemes for private and public patrons responded to and participated in the complex context of Italian interwar society. This dissertation makes a positive case in favour of his remarkable and unjustly neglected output, highlighting its specific characteristics, circumstances and implications, motives and objectives, possible interpretations, and value as a cultural testimony from a different time.

In this thesis, I will examine pattern making in art practice from two cultural perceptions, Slavic and Australian. Existing differences between the two cultural backgrounds will be used to debate how pattern is understood by the viewer or practiced by an artist in a particular chosen environment. The central argument focuses on pattern as a decorator and/or a narrator. I will examine the outcomes and changes in narrative pattern according to cultural context and exchange. By introducing Slavic pattern into contemporary (Australian) art practice, I examine how traditional cultural values and functions change. In discussing the processes of changes that occur in intercultural exchange, I will draw my opinions and observations from writers, critics and artists such as William Morris, Lucien Henry, Stuart Hall, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Grace Cohrane, Nicolas Pevsner, Faith Ringgold, Joan Snyder, Miriam Schapiro and Cynthia Carlson. My final conclusion will be drawn from my personal visual practice that uses pattern

Orientador: William Ricardo Amancio SantanaResumo: O gênero anfi-americano Macrocoeloma Miers, 1879 é composto por caranguejos decoradores de habitats tropicais e subtropicais. Esses caranguejos são encontrados em substratos distintos, incluindo principalmente recifes de corais e rochas. Esse gênero passou por várias alterações sistemáticas em seu status de família, desde sua descrição original até a sua recente exclusão de Mithracidae. No início deste estudo Macrocoeloma era considerado incertae sedis, devido ao pouco conhecimento das relações entre as espécies do gênero e outros gêneros relacionados, sendo sua revisão taxonômica sugerida diversas vezes na literatura. Assim, com o objetivo de suprir essas lacunas taxonômicas e filogenéticas, este estudo empregou abordagens morfológicas e moleculares para reconstruir as relações filogenéticas de Macrocoeloma. Para isso, utilizamos um conjunto de dados moleculares combinados de um gene nuclear (18S) e três mitocondriais (12S, 16S, COI), usando máxima verossimilhança e inferência bayesiana. Além disso, uma inferência de delimitação de espécies foi realizada com o modelo de Poisson tree processes (PTP), usando a filogenia de máxima verossimilhança do gene mitocondrial COI. Foi realizada a revisão taxonômica de Macrocoeloma, com diagnóstico elaborado, descrições detalhadas e mapas de distribuição geográfica com base no material examinado.

Abstract: The amphi-American genus, Macrocoeloma Miers, 1879, is composed of decorator crabs from tropical and subtropical regions. These crabs are found on distinct substrates, including mainly coral reefs and rock. Macrocoeloma has undergone several systematic changes in its family status, since the original description until its recent exclusion of Mithracidae. Prior to this study, Macrocoeloma was considered incertae sedis, due to little knowledge of the relationships between species of the genus and related genera, and its taxonomic revision has been suggested several times in the literature. Thus, in order to address these taxonomic and phylogenetics gaps, this study employed morphological and molecular approaches to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships of Macrocoeloma. We used a combined molecular dataset of a nuclear (18S) and three mitochondrial genes (12S, 16S, COI) using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference. In addition, the inference of species delimitation was performed with the Poisson tree processes model (PTP), using Maximum Likelihood phylogeny of the mitochondrial COI gene. The taxonomic revision of Macrocoeloma was provided with elaborated diagnosis, detailed descriptions and maps of geographic distribution based on examined material. The monophyly of Macrocoeloma was demonstrated after exclusion of Pericera heptacantha and P. septemspinosa. The monotypic genus Thersandrus Rathbun, 1897 is a sister group of Macrocoeloma, followed by the new genus proposed ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Анотація:
This thesis argues that women were seminal to the development of interior design as a discipline and profession in Sydney, Australia. Covering the period from the 1920s to the 1960s, this study identifies Thea Proctor, Nora McDougall, Margaret Lord, Phyllis Shillito and Mary White as foundational leaders who progressively advanced interior design in Sydney through individual and collective understandings of design. Focussing on their contributions to this development, this study explains complex interrelationships between women and modernity in interior design. This emergence of the discipline and profession in Sydney situates the initiatives of these five women at a transitional phase of the field???s global development when ???interior decoration??? is challenged by modern attitudes and artistic theories of ???design???. Working as individuals, Proctor and her successors advance the profession???previously characterised as a ???natural??? pursuit for women of ???taste??? and ???style??????by their artistic, rational and practical approaches to interior design. At a time when no distinct discipline exists in Sydney, the women offer instruction and forge new directions by reformulating previous overseas traditions: incorporating a wide-range of aesthetic and theoretical conceptions of design, demonstrating common and different approaches to practice, and integrating changes in requisite knowledge and skills in response to their times. The women???s programs are conventional and progressive, common and diverse, universal and particular in content and meaning. Working within a variety of settings, the women importantly establish professional jurisdiction situating interior design in a modernist context. Significantly, their contributions challenge past readings that have diminished the early women of interior design, and at the same time, embody all the conflicts, ruptures, paradoxes and contradictions that are cental to modernity. This research redresses the lack of institutional history of interior design in Sydney and links theories of modernism and modernity to issues of gender and profession to explain the women???s significant contributions to interior design at a critical juncture of the field???s development. As such, their stories and legacy of design in Sydney contribute to a wider picture of women and modernity in interior design.

Анотація:
Il s’agit d’un projet de thèse doctorale en cotutelle – entre la «Sapienza» Università de Roma et l’Université de Paris I «Panthéon- Sorbonne » – visant à étudier la vie et l’oeuvre architecturale de Jean-Nicolas Servandoni, une figure d’artiste parmi les plus emblématiques et moins connues du XVIIIe siècle. Peintre, architecte et décorateur, Servandoni est connu pour avoir remporté le concours pour le projet de la façade principale de l’église Saint-Sulpice de Paris, et pour le grand nombre des décors réalisés d’abord pour l’Opéra, puis pour la Salle des Machines des Tuileries. Au cours de sa vie il eut la chance de travailler auprès des souverains les plus importants d’Europe, de Paris à Londres, de Madrid à Lisbonne, de Bruxelles à Vienne et encore à Dresde et Stuttgart. Ce travail de recherche s’est fixé pour objectif d’étudier les périodes les moins connues de sa vie, comme sa formation d’abord à Florence puis à Rome, ses premières missions en Angleterre avant son arrivée à Paris en 1724, ses voyages à travers l’Europe, son travail pour les plus importantes familles royales européennes, et les autres commissions d’architecture en France, au-delà du chantier de Saint-Sulpice. La difficulté majeure a été d’identifier les principales sources bibliographiques et documentaires à partir desquelles on a établi des renseignements biographiques qui ont été transmis à travers le temps jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Il était donc nécessaire de réaliser une opération de «nettoyage» de tous les renseignements faux ou inexacts «incrustés» dans les siècles sur la vie de Servandoni. Grâce à ce «nettoyage», il a été possible d’identifier les sources «premières», sur lesquelles reconstruire la biographie de notre architecte. La recherche dans les archives de plusieurs pays a mené à d’importantes découvertes, tel que la présence de Servandoni à Rome entre 1719 et 1720. Ici il résidait dans le palais du Prince Guido Vaini, un homme «entièrement attaché à la France» et lié au milieu du théâtre d’Alibert et Capranica, où Servandoni aurait évidemment pu se former comme scénographe. Tout cela a permis de formuler des hypothèses sur ses contacts dans la capitale de la papauté, comme son lien avec l’atelier de Benedeto Luti dans le Palais de Florence, où travaillaient, parmi d’autres, Jean Paul Pannini et William Kent. Cette étude a donc mis en évidence sa relation étroite et continue avec les britanniques tout au long de sa vie – à commencer par son séjour romain – de sorte qu’on peut relire son oeuvre architecturale avec une nouvelle clé, davantage liée au milieu palladien anglais. En outre, la lecture des documents a permis d’identifier deux enjeux fondamentaux, qui expliquent en même temps la réussite et l’échec de sa carrière : la question de la nationalité de Servandoni et la légitimation de son rôle d’architecte. Servandoni, en effet, par sa naissance italienne – pourtant d’un père d’origine lyonnaise – dès son arrivée en France fut toujours apprécié comme peintre et décorateur «de Florence». Pour sa qualité d’«ultramontain», il fut choisi par le curé Languet de Gergy, comme architecte de la fabrique de Saint-Sulpice, véritable symbole et point de référence de l’Église de Rome à Paris, contre les «novateurs» jansénistes. [...]This research work - a phd thesis in co-supervision between the "Sapienza" University of Rome and the University of Paris 1 "Panthéon-Sorbonne" - was born with the aim of shedding light on the life and work of the architect Giovanni Niccolo Servandoni, one of the most emblematic figures and less-known artist of the eighteenth century.At the same time he was painter, architect and decorator and his name was famous thanks to a large number of sets made for the Opéra and to the design of the façade of the church of Saint-Sulpice in Paris. During his life, Servandoni had the opportunity to travel throughout Europe, where he worked for the major courts of that time, from Paris to London, from Lisbon to Brussels, Vienna, Dresden and Stuttgart.The research work has the objective to investigating especially the lesser-known aspects of the architect's life, like as the period of his training in Florence and Rome, the years where he lived in England before his arrival in Paris in 1724, his travels in Europe and his architectural work as well as the site of Saint-Sulpice, both in France and abroad.Thanks to this research, Servandoni's complete work- so vaguely interpreted as an anticipation of the "goût à la grecque" and the revival of the classicism of the late of eighteenth century - is reinterpreted as the result of his training in Italy and England. It is indebted, in fact, that as well the classicism that characterized the Florentine architecture of that period as his close contact with the English Palladian circle and with the Wren, Vanbrugh and Hawksmoor's works, exercised a great influence on him
Questo lavoro di ricerca - una tesi di dottorato in co-tutela tra la « Sapienza » Università di Roma e l’Université de Paris I «Panthéon- Sorbonne» - è nato con l’obiettivo di far luce sulla vita e l’opera dell’architetto Giovanni Niccolò Servandoni, una tra le figure d’artista più emblamatiche e meno conosciute del XVIII secolo. Allo stesso tempo pittore, architetto e decoratore, il suo nome è rimasto famoso per il gran numero di scenografie realizzate per l’Opéra e per il progetto della facciata della chiesa parigina di Saint-Sulpice. Durante il corso della sua vita, Servandoni ebbe l’opportunità di viaggiare in tutta Europa, dove lavorò presso le più importani Corti dell’epoca, da Parigi a Londra, da Lisbona a Bruxelles, Vienna, Dresda e Stoccarda. Una delle problematiche maggiori che il lavoro di ricerca ha manifestato, è stata la verifica della correttezza delle notizie riportate dalle fonti a stampa, sia antiche che moderne. Le biografie esistenti dell’architetto riportavano infatti una serie di notizie inesatte o completamente infondate, che si erano «incrostate» nei secoli sulla sua figura. Si è resa quindi necessaria un’operazione di «pulizia» delle fonti che ha permesso di risalire ad alcune notizie certe e verificabili nei documeni d’archivio, che sono state la base su cui ricostruire la biografia dell’architeto. Il lavoro di ricerca si è posto l’obieivo di indagare in paricolar modo gli aspei meno noi della vita dell’architeto, come il periodo della sua formazione a Firenze e a Roma, i suoi anni di soggiorno in Inghilterra prima del suo arrivo a Parigi nel 1724, i viaggi in Europa e le commissioni di architettura oltre al cantiere di Saint-Sulpice, sia in Francia che all’estero. La ricerca d’archivio ha condotto a scoperte innovative, come la presenza di Servandoni a Roma tra il 1719 e il 1720, all’interno del palazzo del principe Vaini - uomo «entièrement attaché à la France» e legato all’ambiente dei teatri Capranica e d’Alibert - che ha permesso di formulare alcune ipotesi sulla sua vita e i suoi contatti nella cità pontificia. E ancora, lo studio ha messo in luce il forte rapporto che Servandoni ebbe con l’ambiente culturale inglese durante il corso di tutta la sua vita - già a partire dal suo soggiorno romano - tanto da poter rileggere la sua opera architettonica in una chiave nuova, più legata alla corrente palladiana che all’architettura romana o francese di quegli anni. L’interpretazione dei documenti ha portato inoltre all’individuazione di due tematiche fondamentali che, spiegano allo stesso tempo la riuscita e la crisi della carriera di Servandoni : il problema della sua nazionalità e quello della legitimazione del suo ruolo di architetto.

L’objet de cette recherche doctorale porte sur l’histoire culturelle de la Société des artistes décorateurs (SAD), une association à but non lucratif reconnue d’utilité publique de 1901 à 2007. Il s’agit de comprendre dans quelle mesure la volonté de reconnaissance orchestrée par les artistes décorateurs a été justifiée et aboutie. À partir d’un fonds d’archives inédit conservé au musée des arts décoratifs de Paris, nous proposons de saisir chronologiquement les différentes étapes du processus de légitimation à partir d'actions diverses, verticales (le projet de création d’un ordre des décorateurs reconnu par l’État) et horizontales (exposer au Grand Palais au même titre que les autres sociétés d’artistes). Au cœur du processus, se trouve le Salon pensé comme un espace singulier de production (création de prototypes après la Seconde Guerre mondiale), de diffusion et de réception. De par l'organisation de ses Salons, de 1904 jusqu’en 2007, l’histoire de la SAD se nourrit de la compréhension esthétique de l’objet articulée aux processus dont il est issu (formation, système de production, de promotion et de distribution). Au cours de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, le champ de la création s’élargit. Il comprend toujours des meubles, des céramiques, des tapisseries mais aussi des walkmans, des motos, du design industriel. Nous proposons de comprendre les processus de légitimation de ces expressions aussi bien artistiques qu’utilitaires. Cependant, une figure se construit et s’affirme celle de l’architecte d’intérieur dont nous cernerons les différents aspects notamment à partir d’une analyse sémantique historique. L'intitulé de la présente étude « À l'épreuve de l'institutionnalisation des arts décoratifs en France » précise la problématique du propos. L'institutionnalisation fait référence au processus par lequel les arts décoratifs peuvent être reconnus par les pouvoirs publics, intégrés à des institutions culturelles et sociales. Nous montrerons les processus d'institutionnalisation entre les instances entrepreneuriales, les instances gouvernementales et les instances corporatistes (associations, syndicats) articulés dialectiquement à la figure de l'individu créateur. L'enjeu de la recherche consiste également à saisir le rôle de la SAD dans l'historiographie des arts décoratifs français du XXe siècleThis doctoral research focuses on the cultural history of the Société des artistes décorateurs (SAD), a non-profit association recognized as a public utility from 1901 to 2007. The aim is to understand the extent to which the desire for recognition orchestrated by decorative artists was justified and successful. Drawing on a previously unpublished archive held at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, we propose to chronologically capture the various stages in the legitimization process, based on a variety of actions, both vertical (the project to create a state-recognized order of decorators) and horizontal (exhibiting at the Grand Palais on the same footing as other artists' societies). At the heart of the process was the Salon, conceived as a unique space for production (prototypes were created after the Second World War), distribution and reception. Through the organization of its Salons, from 1904 to 2007, the history of SAD is nourished by an aesthetic understanding of the object, articulated to the processes from which it emerged (formation, production, promotion and distribution systems). In the second half of the twentieth century, the field of design expanded. It still includes furniture, ceramics and tapestries, but also walkmans, motorcycles and industrial design. We propose to understand the legitimizing processes of these artistic and utilitarian expressions. However, a figure is emerging and asserting itself, that of the interior architect, whose various aspects we will identify, notably on the basis of a historical semantic analysis. The title of this study, "Putting the institutionalization of the decorative arts in France to the test", clarifies the problem. Institutionalization refers to the process by which the decorative arts are recognized by public authorities and integrated into cultural and social institutions. We will show the processes of institutionalization between entrepreneurial, governmental and corporatist bodies (associations, unions), dialectically articulated with the figure of the individual creator. The aim of our research is also to understand the role of SAD in the historiography of twentieth-century French decorative arts

This research investigated the extent of computer usage in the interior design profession including attitudes toward computers, computer applications, and computer equipment usage. A questionnaire was sent to five hundred professional members of the American Society of Interior Designers across the nation.
The frequency distribution was used on 169 usable data to describe the sample background characteristics and to determine the computer equipment utilization. Means and TV test were employed to examine if a significant difference of opinion toward computers existed between designers based on experience on computers, size of organizations, and type of projects.
Findings which were statistically significant indicated that computer-experienced and non-residential interior designers had more positive attitudes toward computers. More computers had been incorporated into non-residential interior designersâ offices. Overall, interior designers from various backgrounds had the same opinion in believing that computers were not cost-effective for drafting application for most interior designers or for their own establishments at present. The most popular computer applications in this study were billing, accounting, financial management, specification, and business correspondence. Furthermore, the IBM personal computer was found to be the most used microcomputer in this study.

We approach the problem in two different ways: on one side we “enclose” the above semistability condition between a stronger semistability condition (\epsilon-semistability) and a weaker one (k-semistability), on the other side we try, and succeed for the case of a = 2, to bound the length of weighted filtrations on which one checks the semistability condition.

This dissertation aims to discover the history, the context, the international success, the promotional strategies and the final decline of the La Casa artistica atelier, led in Florence by the members of the Coppedè family. Created in 1873 by the householder Mariano (1839-1920) as an atelier for wood sculpture, carving, furniture and interior decoration, it gets an extraordinary reputation covering several decades, becoming moreover the professional training place for all Mariano’s sons, who will become artists: Gino (1866-1927) and Adolfo (1871-1951), who will follow a career as architects, and Carlo (1868-1952), who will devote himself to painting. The story of the paternal atelier is connected to his sons’careers, creating a sort of alliance bringing to many joint commissions in Italy and in foreign countries, thanks to a rich and cosmopolitan clientele, until his decline in the Thirties, due to his difficulty in renovating his decorative language who was the main reason for his success during the previous decades.
In order to achieve this goal, my dissertation is divided into four different chapters, sort of reading keys to understand the development of the atelier and the birth of this particular decorative taste that contemporaries already called “Coppedè Style”.
The starting point is the exploration of the several meanings linked to the “Coppedè” name (ranging from a decorative excess to mere bad taste, from a particular nuance of art nouveau to the triumph of eclecticism, etc.), since the climax of the atelier reputation till the present times. For this reason, I have analyzed the different steps leading to the rediscovery of these artists and the new identification of their extremely peculiar artistic profiles; a path that necessarily leads to a focus on the situation of the Italian studies concerning the national art nouveau movement, the so called Liberty.
My essay will focus on the connection between the Coppedè family atelier and the Florentine artistic landscape, starting from framing the situation of the wood carving art during the years after the Italian Unification, when Mariano begins his activity. Three exemplary cases are displayed, in order to show the influence the city has on the atelier: the gothic revival works for the Holy Trinity Church, home of the Anglican community in Florence; the controversial restoration of Pazzi Quaratesi Palace, midway between philological research and new decoration, so as to create new spaces for the Banca di Firenze; Matteo Palmieri’s Apothecary Shop, where the ancient artistic tradition of Florence is renewed in an original and quite humoristic way. This process is concluded by the final part of the atelier’s life and the following isolation from the Florentine context experienced by Adolfo and Carlo.
The same approach is used in the following chapter, dedicated to the international spread of the Coppedè atelier, beginning with the analysis of the fascination the city of Florence and Renaissance art have among the most sophisticated travelers, especially Anglo-Saxons This sort of myth influences (but also limits) the artistic craftsmanship of the city in several ways, causing different marketing strategies to become a part of a similar commercial market. Again, three illuminating examples are taken into account: the works for the Marquis de la Motilla in Seville, lasting about forty years, put together thanks to the discovery of a huge amount of new documents from the Spanish family archive; the furniture for St. Paul’s Chapel in the Columbia University Campus in New York, where the atelier collaborates with two famous American architects who want to recreate a Florentine image in the New World; the decoration for the Palacio de Comunicación in Mexico City, which has a political message - quite unusual for the Coppedè -, connected to the last years of Porfirio Diaz’s regime.
Finally, the path in the atelier’s history finds its natural conclusion in the projects for the Italian ocean liners during the Twenties and Thirties. Here, the original decorative ideas of the “Coppedè Stile”, aiming to a monumental eclecticism, reaches its paroxysm.

Pendant la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, le tapissier-décorateur est une figure incontournable de la décoration intérieure. Cette thèse propose une approche transdisciplinaire afin de dresser à la fois l’environnement socio-économique de cette profession mais également l’histoire des créations des hommes qui la composent. Marchand de meubles et décorateur, le tapissier conçoit, fabrique et pose l’ensemble du décor intérieur. Celui-ci comprend notamment les tentures, les rideaux, les tapis, les garnitures de sièges, de lits et de cheminées. Outre l’étude des savoir-faire et de l’organisation de la profession dans sa dimension économique, technique et sociale, notre thèse porte sur l’analyse des œuvres et de l’évolution de la production des tapissiers depuis l’apport de la fantaisie et du confortable jusqu’aux tentatives de renouveau au tournant du XXe siècle. Nous étudions leur rôle de prescripteur de goût à travers les Expositions universelles et en particulier les transformations de leur industrie avec la concurrence des maisons d’ébénisterie et des grands magasins. Le tapissier est un spécialiste de la mise en œuvre du textile et ses compositions sont rapidement associés à l’abondance de draperies, de franges et de capitons. Pourtant, derrière les critiques formulées dès la fin du XIXe siècle sur les excès supposés de leurs travaux se cache une production riche et variée. Cette étude permet d’éclairer d’un jour nouveau les ensembles décoratifs de ces tapissiers et leur pratique artistique au cœur d’une industrie de l’ameublement en pleine mutationDuring the second half of the 19th century, the upholsterer-decorator was a key figure in interior decoration. This thesis takes a cross-disciplinary approach, examining both the socio-economic environment of the profession and the creative history of its members. As a furniture dealer and decorator, the upholsterer designs, manufactures and installs the entire interior decor. This includes drapes, curtains, carpets and upholstery for seats, beds and fireplaces. As well as studying the economic, technical and social aspects of the profession and its organisation, our thesis analyses the work and production of upholsterers, from the introduction of fantasy and comfort to the attempts at revival at the turn of the 20th century. We look at their role in prescribing taste through the Universal Exhibitions and, in particular, the changes in their industry as a result of competition from cabinetmakers and department stores. Upholsterers were specialists in the use of textiles, and their work was quickly associated with the abundance of draperies and fringes. Yet behind the criticism levelled at the end of the 19th century at the supposed excesses of their work lies a rich and varied output. This study sheds new light on the decorative ensembles of these upholsterers and their artistic practice at the heart of a rapidly changing furniture industry

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Arquitetura apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.Portugal e o Azerbaijão tiveram uma forte influência islâmica no passado. Mesmo hoje em dia, podemos experimentar sinais desse património cultural e do impacto tangível e intangível em ambos os países. É perceptível em muitas áreas da mesma forma na arquitetura. Em Portugal, apesar de muitos exemplos de influência da herança islâmica terem sido perdidos ou destruídos, ainda existem em algumas cidades em particular um notável legado de arquitectura e ornamentação. Por outro lado, a situação no Azerbaijão é ligeiramente diferente devido ao fato de que a maioria da população do Azerbaijão é muçulmana. Portanto, ainda existem muitos exemplos vivos de motivos geométricos islâmicos na arquitetura e, eventualmente, uma tradição viva. A presente dissertação é parte de um projeto de pesquisa em andamento intitulado “Biomédica e Morfogênese Digital”, inscrito no Centro de Pesquisa CIAUD da Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa. O foco principal deste trabalho será dado a girih - um padrão geométrico específico utilizado na decoração islâmica, que pode ser encontrado em uma ampla área de Portugal para o Azerbaijão. Os padrões geométricos em Portugal foram usados principalmente em azulejos, alfarge e algumas obras de estuque, enquanto no Azerbaijão, eles são empregados em diferentes maneiras de projetar principalmente decorações de pedra e decorações de vidro em "shebeke" (uma arte de criar janelas consistindo de de vidro colorido e pequenos detalhes de madeira presos sem cola ou unhas usando). No entanto, todos os elementos decorativos utilizados utilizam uma gama de simetrias que agora foram classificadas como pertencentes a grupos matemáticos distintos. Mas a sutileza e a beleza dos designs são incomparáveis no pensamento e design matemáticos modernos. Assim, o nosso objetivo é tentar estabelecer uma relação entre os exemplos de pesquisa de padrões geométricos islâmicos em Portugal e no Azerbaijão; montar um paralelo entre esses elementos decorativos em ambos os países; e tentar estabelecer se existem algumas conexões, semelhanças e os níveis de correspondência.
ABSTRACT: Portugal and Azerbaijan had a strong Islamic influence in the past. Even nowadays, we can experience signs of this cultural heritage, and the tangible and intangible impact in both countries. It is noticeable in many areas likewise in architecture. In Portugal, despite many examples of Islamic heritage influence have been lost or destroyed, there still are in some particular cities a remarkable architecture and ornamentation legacy. On the other hand, the situation in Azerbaijan is slightly different due to the fact that the majority of Azerbaijan’s population is Muslim. Therefore, there are still many living examples of Islamic geometric motifs in architecture and eventually, a living tradition.The present dissertation is part of an ongoing research project entitled “Biomimetics and Digital Morphogenesis” enrolled at the CIAUD Research Centre of the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Lisbon. The main focus of this work will be given to girih - a particular geometric pattern used in Islamic decoration, which can be found in a wide area from Portugal to Azerbaijan. The geometric patterns in Portugal were used mainly in “azulejos”, "alfarge" and some stucco works, while in Azerbaijan, they are employed in different manners of designing mainly stone decorations and glass decorations on "shebeke" (an art of creating windows consisting of colorful glass and small wooden details attached without glue or nail using). Nevertheless, all of the decorative elements deployed use a range of symmetries that have now been classified as belonging to distinct mathematical groups. But the subtlety and beauty of the designs are unparalleled in modern mathematical thinking and design. Thus, our goal is to try to establish a relationship between the survey examples of Islamic geometric patterns in Portugal and Azerbaijan; to assemble a parallel between those decorative elements in both countries; and try to establish if there are some connections, similarities and the levels of correspondence.

This thesis examines the architecture of Leicestershire churches within a period of c.1260 to c.1350. It is the result of a field study of nearly three hundred churches both within Leicestershire and the surrounding counties, in order to define stylistic similarities and differences. Part of the work has investigated the question of whether the term 'Decorated' requires some re-definition. Chapter I establishes that very little writing before the 20th century examined the architecture of Leicestershire churches in any detail, and even subsequently, major research has been sparse. Having observed the early sources, it continues with a review of the current general literature. Chapter 2 submits that the term 'Decorated' - as currently defined - is too wide to cover the entire period under discussion. The term 'Geometrical' as applied to late 13th-century architecture, should not be used to define the Decorated style. Examples set out to justify the argument that some of the motifs found in 14th-century Decorated architecture did not exist in the later 13th century. Since later chapters deal with dis-aggregated features, Chapter 3 commences with a set of case studies of the individual churches along the Wreake Valley, before moving on to discuss how the different elements of Decorated are applied to Leicestershire churches. The following two chapters examine the economic background to the mediaeval county and the practicalities of masons, quarrying and building practices. The amount of data collected - which appears in the Appendices - has led to the introduction of new ideas, namely, that basic elements were stock-piled, and that templates were of more limited use than has been previously supposed. The remaining chapters deal with individual features, including two major chapters on Windows and Arcades: that on Windows provides the first ever detailed classification of window types within the county, whilst that on Arcades reveals much new evidence on building practices. Volume 1 contains the text, Bibliography and list of all churches surveyed; Volume 2 contains all illustrations, appendices and maps.

CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICOOs nanotubos de carbono desde seu descobrimento têm atraído crescentemente a atenção devido a sua estrutura original e propriedades eletrônicas únicas. Encontrando muitas possíveis aplicações, como na área de materiais suportes para catálise, dada sua grande área superficial e boa condutividade elétrica quando comparado aos materiais convencionais à base de carbono. Essas características favorecem uma maior dispersão e estabilização de nanopartículas metálicas o que propicia o acceso a um número maior de átomos cataliticamente ativos. Neste trabalho foram produzidos nanotubos de carbono de paredes múltiplas de uma boa qualidade estrutural utilizando o método de Spray Pyrolysis. Foram encontrados os parâmetros de crescimento ideais de nosso sistema tais como fluxo de gás e faixa de valores para a concentração da solução precursora, 1800 sccm e 2,0-2,9% em peso, respectivamente. Os nanotubos foram decorados com partículas de cobalto através de uma rota química sendo o processo mais eficiente o que envolve a dissolução do nitrato de cobalto em acetona para a formação de um pó homogêneo de nanotubos-oxido de cobalto para sua posterior redução em atmosfera de H2 a 573 K. A qualidade estrutural dos nanotubos produzidos bem como do material decorado foi avaliado através de diferentes técnicas de caracterização tais como espectroscopia Raman, microscopia eletrônica de varredura e de transmissão, e difração de raios-X.
Carbon nanotubes since they are observed for the first time have been attracted attention due to their structure and unique electronic properties. Many applications, as support materials for catalysts, are proposed because of their aspect ration and good electrical conductivity. These properties favor a better dispersion and stabilization of the metallic nanoparticles, increasing the number of catalytic active atoms. In this work, we produced multi- walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) with good structural properties using the Spray Pyrolysis method. We found the optimum parameters for the growth of high quality MWNT, namely, the gas flux and the concentration of the precursor solution, 1800 sccm and 2,0-2,9 wt %, respectively. The nanotubes were decorated via a chemical route, being the most efficient process the one where the cobalt nitrate was diluted in acetone with the formation of a homogeneous cobalt oxide particles-MWNT powder, with a subsequent reduction in H2 atmosphere at 573K. The structural characterization was performed by a multitechnique approach, including Raman spectroscopy, transmission and scanning electron microscopes (TEM and SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD).

Metates are stone objects on which corn and other substancesa re ground with hand-held stones called manos. Metates and manos have formed part of the standard household equipment in the Americas ever since settled life began to develop there in the 2nd millennium B. C. In Lower Central America - and specifically within the area bounded by eastern Honduras in the north and the Panama Canal in the south - prehispanic peoples fashioned some of their metates in a highly individual manner, often with a display of sophisticated and complex imagery both in form and decoration. They were made in this distinctive way over a period of at least 1500 years prior to the arrival of the Spaniards. The aim of this study is to show that, in spite of their diversity, these metates represent an unmistakable cultural trait which is particular only to the isthmian region of Central America. It is proposed that, as such, the decorated metate can serve as a diagnostic marker for essentially Lower Central American cultural traditions in prehispanic times. In earlier studies, many of these elaborately carved objects from Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama have been referred to variously as 'altars', 'thrones', 'ceremonial tables', and - sometimes - as 'metates'. In the course of research for the present study it was found that the majority show traces of wear from grinding and that they can therefore be classified as metates. This thesis brings together material from the entire Lower Central American culture area and presents a comprehensive corpus of decorated metates from reported sites together with specimens available in museums and private collections. Based on some 650 examples, a classification is proposed which hasbeen organized according to formal attributes and supplemented by a stylistic analysis of recurring motifs and decorative patterns. A chronological and geographical framework has been added with the help of known data on decorated metates recovered from controlled excavations.

This essay is about the act of wearing contemporary jewellery has as a way of communication between human beings. I investigate the act of decorating the body as an important and basic human need. This essay investigates the relationship between gender, feminine culture, and decoration within the Western world, thinking of jewellery as a socialisation method and not as a consequence of natural differences between sexes. This investigation presents a brief historical review of the role that jewellery has been playing in the relations between the genders and the changes it has undergone in terms of cultural process over the last centuries. I introduce to the reader the idea of performing jewellery with the aim of to highlight the relevance that decoration on the body has as a way to construct our identity. The post-structuralist theories about gender and identity made by the feminist philosopher Judith Butler (Gender Trouble 1990, Undoing Gender 2004), and some philosophical perspectives on material culture, are used to support my investigation, to postulate that jewellery pieces can be viewed or understood us as ‘queer apparatus’… As a way to explore and experience jewellery as a ‘queer apparatus’, I have chosen few examples of contemporary jewellery.

In this thesis we introduce a new family of finite dimensional diagram algebras over a commutative ring with identity, the decorated partial Brauer algebras. These algebras are unital, associative and have a basis consisting of decorated partial Brauer diagrams which are partial Brauer diagrams with possibly decorated edges and decorated isolated vertices. We show that this algebra is a cellular algebra by applying Theorem of Green and Paget to iterated construction . Subsequently, we give an indexing set for the simple modules. Over a field of characteristic different from 2, we determine when the decorated partial Brauer algebra is quasi-hereditary. Finally, we give a complete description of the restriction rule for the cell modules over C.

Historical decorated glass and glazed ceramics are studied with the object to determine the technology of production and to relate it with the optical properties (colour, shine, opacity). Four different case of study are investigated: production technology and replication of lead antimonate yellow glass from New Kingdom Egypt and the Roman Empire, technology of production of polychrome lustre, analyses of Syrian lustre pottery (12th–14th centuries AD) and study of color and dichroism of silver stained glasses. These different coloured glazes or glasses have in common to be produced by the presence of micro or nanoparticles embedded into the glaze which give their special optical effect. Chemical and microstructural analyses are performed using a selection of complementary Microscopic and Spectroscopic techniques that are the most adequate for the analyses of each decoration. Physical optical properties are also modeled and measured by means of UV-Vis spectroscopy. The composition and structure of the different phases formed during the processing of the decorations in historical times is obtained with the object to learn about their stability and processing conditions and to relate them to their optical properties

Regenerative medicine takes multifaceted approaches towards healing complex injury and restoring normal tissue function by combining biomaterials with cells and drugs. Recently, naturally occurring polymers found in the human body have inspired biomaterials that play active roles in the regenerative process. One polymer, hyaluronic acid, has ubiquitous roles in the human body, and is an important component to tissue development and healing. These materials are proving to be more capable to the complex tasks of guiding tissue regeneration; however, the search continues for laboratory inspired solutions to help guide the regeneration process. We need to be able to control the presentation of bioactive agents in the microenvironment which is the level at which cells operate. Some researchers have attempted to augment the scaffold biochemistry by controlling the spatial presentation of bioactive molecules by playing with clustering peptide sequences, but they do not have a high control over the nanoscale aspect. For the problem of controlling the molecular architecture of the biomaterial microenvironment, nanotechnology has a solution. Dendrimers are synthetic branched macromolecules which are symmetric, monodisperse, and globular in shape. Most importantly however, is that their inherent structure maintains strict presentation of terminal groups. Up to this point, never before have dendrimers been covalently mixed with biomaterials to provide strict control over the presentation of biomolecules in the scaffold microenvironment. This novel technology poses a new biomaterials niche for guiding bone regeneration. The motivation of the thesis is to contribute to the development of intelligent biomaterial platforms by combining peptide epitope binding dendrimers with a thermoreversible biomaterial platform based on hyaluronic acid in the hope to advance bone regeneration.La medicina regenerativa utiliza distintos enfoques hacia procesos complejos de curación de lesiones: uno de ellos es la restauración de la función normal de tejidos mediante la combinación de biomateriales con células y fármacos. Pero si nos centramos en lo que ahora pueden hacer los biomateriales sabemos que son un material capaz de guiar tareas complejas en procesos de regeneración tisular. No obstante, la investigación en los laboratorios continua explorando este mundo inspirada por la búsqueda de soluciones para mejorar, todavía más, esta función de guía en el proceso de regeneración tisular. Hemos de ser capaces de controlar la entrega de agentes bioactivos en los microambientes que se encuentran a niveles en los que las células operan. Algunos investigadores han intentado aumentar la funcionalidad bioquímica de las estructuras de los polímeros, o “andamios” (en la literatura inglesa scaffold), mediante el control de la presentación espacial de moléculas bioactivas jugando con clústeres de secuencias de péptidos, pero sin tener un alto control a escala nanoscópica. Ahora, para el problema sobre el control de la arquitectura molecular del microambiente de un biomaterial la nanotecnología tiene una solución. Se trata de los dendrímeros, moléculas sintéticas ramificadas, simétricas, monodispersas y con forma globular. Más importante todavía, su estructura inherente mantiene una presentación estricta de los grupos terminales. Hasta este momento, nunca antes se habían mezclado covalentemente dendrímeros con biomateriales para proporcionar un control estricto de la presentación de biomoléculas en el microambiente de “andamio”. Esta nueva tecnología (la de los dendrímeros) coloca a los biomateriales en el nicho para la guía de la regeneración ósea. El objetivo de estas tesis es contribuir al desarrollo de biomateriales inteligentes mediante la combinación de dendrímeros con afinidad por proteínas específicas en una plataforma de biomaterial termorreversible a base de ácido hialurónico. La meta: avanzar en el campo de la regeneración ósea.

Biotemplating is the art of using a biological structure as a scaffold which is decorated with a functional material. In this fashion the structures will gain new functionalities and biotemplating offers a simple route of mass-producing mesoscopic material with new interesting properties. Biological structures are abundant and come in a great variety of elaborate and due to their natural origin they could be more suitable for interaction with biological systems than wholly synthetic materials. Conducting polymers are a novel class of material which was developed just 40 years ago and are well suited for interaction with biological material due to their organic composition. Furthermore the electronic properties of the conducting polymers can be tuned giving rise to dynamic control of the behavior of the material. Self-assembly processes are interesting since they do not require complicated or energy demanding processing conditions. This is particularly important as most biological materials are unstable at elevated temperatures or harsh environments. The main aim of this thesis is to show the possibility of using self-assembly to decorate a conducting polymer onto various biotemplates. Due to the intrinsic variety in charge, size and structure between the available natural scaffolds it is difficult, if not impossible, to find a universal method. In this thesis we show how biotemplating can be used to create new hybrid materials by self-assembling a conducting polymer with biological structures based on DNA, protein, lipids and cellulose, and in this fashion create material with novel optical and electronic properties.

This PhD thesis aims to offer a new contribution to the study of regional Roman architectural decoration, focusing on the province of Mauretania Tingitana (northern Morocco). The analysis of the ornament is linked with that of the buildings where these architectural elements were employed. In addition to the reconstruction of local history and urban trajectories, the investigation is further extended to a broader extra‐provincial level, with particular attention to North Africa and the Mediterranean. The selected timeframe spans from the late Mauretanian period (c. mid‐first century BC) to the main phase of Roman provincial era (first to third century AD), also providing a glimpse into Late Antiquity (fourth to sixth centuries AD). The discussion in Volume I (Text) is based on the results of the field research carried out in Morocco, from 2011 to 2014, at four archaeological sites: Volubilis (Ksar Pharaoun); Banasa (Sidi Ali bou Djenoun); Sala (Chellah, Rabat); and Lixus (Tchemmich, Larache). The fieldwork involved the recording of the elements of architectural decoration preserved there, the vast majority of which are unpublished. The collected data were used to build up the typological classification presented in summary in Volume I and in full detail in Volume II (Appendix). The study also includes observations on the materials kept in the archaeological museums at Rabat, Tangier and Tétouan, and those from other important sites of the province (Thamusida and Zilil). The analysis shows how different artistic traditions were merged together in Tingitana during the Roman period: the persistence of pre‐Roman (Punic and Hellenistic) substrata; the influence of Roman official art and architectural decoration; and the creation of local‐style ornament. This mixture of styles is also reflected in the design of buildings and public spaces in each town, hinting towards the identification of equally mixed urban communities. The research has revealed the architectural vitality of this territory at the edge of the Roman world, while also illustrating a significant degree of adaptation of orthodox rules of Roman architecture.

This thesis explores the flowering of decorative plasterwork in late renaissance Scotland, its main focus being what influenced its development, the motivation of its leading patrons, and its role in the culture of Scotland at this time. The thesis begins by assesses why plasterwork has received much less attention in Scotland compared with other building materials, primarily stone, and whether this is as a result of Scotland’s architectural history being misunderstood in its British context. Early seventeenth-century Scotland was experiencing a building boom, its patrons increasingly benefiting from government positions, better education and foreign travel, exposing them to a wide range of influences at a time when houses and estates, (the main signals of status and rank) were being much transformed and domestically improved. This period heralded a burst of decorative plasterwork patronage throughout the country. This thesis analyses the influences which existed in late renaissance interiors in Scotland and whether a native tradition of decorative plasterwork existed in Scotland, and what influence this had on later decorative plasterwork styles. This thesis also gauges the affect that an absent court had on patronage and whether significant cycles of patronage can be interpreted by a study of seventeenth century plasterwork schemes in Scotland, and the role that decoration played in the culture of Scotland at this time. Finally, this research assesses the evolution of plaster throughout the century and why it may have developed differently from English work, and considers the changing role of decorative plasterwork in the late seventeenth century.

Mestrado em Toxicologia e EcotoxicologiaA nanotecnologia é uma área em crescimento e os nanomateriais (NMs) podem ser encontrados numa vasta variedade de produtos como equipamentos ou dispositivos médicos e cosméticos. Os NMs atraem muita atenção devido à sua grande reatividade, resultado da sua elevada área de superfície em relação ao seu volume. Eles podem apresentar diferentes composições químicas, tamanhos e formas, o que pode influenciar o seu comportamento. Devido ao aumento de produção e presença em bens de consumo, os NMs podem chegar ao ambiente devido a introdução direta ou indireta. Apesar de muitos estudos se focarem na toxicidade dos NMs, diferentes resultados podem ser encontrados para NMs com a mesma composição química. Isto deve-se principalmente à influência de fatores abióticos e bióticos que podem alterar a biodisponibilidade dos NMs e por conseguinte a sua toxicidade, assim como à diversidade de características que estes materiais podem apresentar. A presença de outros NMs ou químicos no ambiente pode influenciar a sua toxicidade, aumentando-a ou diminuindo-a. Para além disto, têm sido desenvolvidos novos NMs formados por vários nanomateriais, aumentando as suas funcionalidades em comparação com o(a)s NMs/NPs isolado(a)s. Por estas razões é importante perceber como se irão comportar no ambiente. Tendo isto em consideração, o principal objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a toxicidade de NMs compostos por ZnO-NM com Ag-NP na superfície (ZnO/Ag-NM) e tentar perceber se a toxicidade destes NMs pode ser prevista através da toxicidade individual dos seus componentes. Com este objetivo a toxicidade individual e em mistura de ZnO-NM e de Ag-NP foi avaliada no organismo Daphnia magna e posteriormente comparada com a toxicidade de ZnO/Ag-NM. Para isso, foram realizados testes de imobilização e reprodução. Para avaliar a toxicidade da mistura e dos ZnO/Ag-NM também foi utilizada a ferramenta informática MixTox, baseada no modelo de adição de concentração e foram explorados possíveis desvios como sinergismo/antagonismo (S/A), desvio dependente da dose (DL) e desvio dependente do ratio químico (DR). Os ZnO-NM e as Ag-NPs demonstraram um esperado aumento dose-resposta para Daphnia magna. Foi verificada, para ambos os NMs, uma diminuição da sobrevivência ao fim de 48h e uma diminuição do número de neonatos produzido durante 21 dias. As Ag-NPs foram as que demonstraram maior toxicidade. A mistura apresentou um desvio dependente da dose (DL) para a imobilização e para a reprodução foi observado sinergismo. Os ZnO/Ag-NMs apresentaram maior toxicidade do que os ZnO-NM individualmente. Quando os resultados foram analisados com o MixTox foi observado um desvio dependente do químico (DR) para a imobilização e um desvio dependente das doses usadas (DL) para a reprodução. Este estudo demonstra que tanto a mistura efetuada em laboratório como a previsão baseada nos resultados de toxicidade dos ZnO/Ag-NM não serão baseados no mesmo comportamento dos seus componentes e demonstra também a importância de ter em consideração a interação NM-NM aquando da avaliação da toxicidade dos NMs.
Nanotechnology is a rising field and nanomaterials (NMs) can now be found in a vast variety of products that can go from medical equipment to cosmetics. NMs attract much attention due to their high reactivity, a result of high surface area to volume ratio. They can present different chemical compositions, sizes and shapes which can alter their behaviour. Due to their increase of production and presence in consumer products, NMs can end up in the environment due to unintentional or intentional release. Although many studies have focused on the toxicity of NMs, different results can be found for NMs with the same chemical composition. This is due to the fact that abiotic and biotic factors can alter the NMs bioavailability and therefore their toxicity, along with the diversity of their inherent characteristics. The presence of other NMs or chemicals in the environment can also affect NMs toxicity, increasing or decreasing their toxicity. Also, new nanomaterials combining NM-NM are being development due to their enhancing characteristics when compared to NMs or nanoparticles (NPs) alone. Therefore, it is important to understand how they will behave in the environment. Taking this into account, the main objective of this work was to evaluate the toxicity of a NM composed by ZnO-NM with Ag-NP on its surface (ZnO/Ag-NM) and try to understand if its toxicity can be predicted by the toxicity of the single components. With this purpose, the toxicity in Daphnia magna was evaluated to ZnO-NM and Ag-NP as single components, as a laboratory mixture and then compared to the toxicity of the ZnO/Ag-NM. To assess toxicity, immobilization and reproduction tests were performed. Also, the mixture toxicity and the toxicity of the ZnO/Ag-NM were analysed using the MixTox tool, based on the concentration addition model and possible deviations for synergism/antagonism (S/A), dose-level (DL) and dose-ratio (DR) were explored. ZnO-NM and Ag-NPs showed an increase toxicity to Daphnia magna with increasing concentrations. Decrease of survival after 48h and decrease in the number of neonates produce during 21 days were observed for both NMs with Ag-NPs demonstrating the highest toxicity. The mixture exposures showed a deviation dependency on the doses used (DL) for immobilisation and for reproduction a synergism deviation was observed. ZnO/Ag-NM showed higher toxicity when comparing to the ZnO-NM alone. When analysing the results with the MixTox tool a deviation dependent on the chemical present (DR) was observed for immobilization and a dose level deviation (DL) for reproduction. This study demonstrates that both, the mixture and the ZnO/Ag-NM, will not behave as their components and the toxicity cannot be predicted by them, highlighting the importance of taking into account the interaction NM-NM when assessing NMs toxicity.

This dissertation investigates aesthetics of African design and decoration in the work of major contemporary artists of African descent who address heritage, history, and life experience. My project focuses on the work of three representative contemporary artists, African American artists Kehinde Wiley and Nick Cave, and Ghanaian artist El Anatsui. Their work represents practices and tendencies among a much broader group of painters and sculptors who employ elaborate textures and designs to express drama and emotion throughout the Black Atlantic world. I argue that extensive patterning, embellishment, and ornamentation are employed by many contemporary artists of African descent as a strategy for reinterpreting the art historical canon and addressing critical social issues, such as war, devastation of the earth's environment, and lack of essential resources for survival in many parts of the world. Many artworks also present historical revisions that reflect the experience of Black peoples who were brought to the Americas through the transatlantic slave trade, lived under colonial rule, or witnessed aspects of post-colonial struggle. The disorderliness of intersecting designs could also symbolize gaps in memory and traumas that will not heal. They reflect the manner in which Black Atlantic peoples have pieced together ancestral histories from a patchwork of sources. Polyrhythmic decoration enables their work to act as vessels of experience, allowing viewers to bring together multiple histories and social references.

Due to the interior decoration industry must change the work environment with the construction of the case, the operating characteristics of different industries and general construction site environmental constraints, the height of construction, or for a long time to maintain the same movements and other factors, which affect the body's musculoskeletal, thus interior decoration practitioners musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) increased risk. This study aimed to explore the risk of the musculoskeletal disorders on interior decorator. For example, wood workers, whitewashed workers and mud workers were the main research work. This study was record the working posture in field construction site and use Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) to observe labor working posture to assess the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. In addition, use of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), to understand the frequency and manner of practitioners’ symptoms, thus clearer understanding of the injury and to prevent it. The results showed that interior decoration employed has been aging phenomenon in recent years, often using their operations pose for standing, bending and kneeling squatting, wood workers and mud workers for the most in need of improvement in the job, thus this study recommends greater use of assistive devices and protective gear before and after the operation to do simple calisthenics, to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorder.

Since 2005, the green building materials used from 5% to 45%. The research explores the knowledge and usage of green building materials that people who work in interior design and decoration & management. The practitioners did questionnaire surveys that I chose from three areas. The thesis summarized in three propositions through the reorganized and discussed. Firstly, people know that green build materials can reduce volatile hazardous substances efficiently. But there are nearly half people ignorance the amount of use that accorded to the current law. Second. When people choose the green materials, except of the regulations, the motive is the owner asked instead of reason of health. And the most important part is the cost. Finally, we divide the green building materials into paint, ceiling, partition, floor and cabinet. The majorities do not use the green materials since the price. It will prove the desire if the government provides the rewards. And it’s helpful for promoting the materials.
