ABSTRACT CONTENT
Abstracts should be a condensed version of the final presentation and include all significant findings. Write the text so readers who are not specialists will be able to appreciate the purpose of the study and understand the procedures and conclusions. The text, entirely written in English, must include short introduction and motivation of the study, including experimental procedures, main results and conclusions. It is not
necessary to divide the text into sub-sections.
Topics:
- Environment
- Microanalysis
- Non-destructive testing
In detail:
- Techniques to measure and evaluate environmental damage and degradation processes (on stone, leather, parchment, paintings, wood, ivory, bone, metals, glass); measurement of the extent of damage caused by corrosion; atmospheric pollution; biodegradation;
- Development of analytical techniques for the study of the composition and decay of museum objects (ion beam analysis; irradiation and diffraction techniques; radiography and tomography; fluorescence spectroscopy);
- Measuring the effectiveness of newly developed protection, preservation and conservation procedures (slowing deterioration and damage; innovative coating; proper storage conditions and controlled environment: temperature, humidity, lighting, gas composition);
- Techniques to identify materials, provenance of raw materials and production details of objects (origin and supplies; studies of ancient production techniques; identifying trade routes);
- Authenticity and authentication of art and archeological objects (questions of origin; identification of fakes and forgeries).
