Study of provenance character on ancient porcelain of Yue Kiln at Silongkou with NAA

Chemical composition is an important information of studying the provenance character of ancient pottery and porcelain. The ancient celadon samples produced in Later Tang (850–907 A.D.) to Former Southern Song (1127–1279 A.D.) have been analyzed with NAA. Its provenance characteristic was compared with that of Hongzhou Kiln of Jiangxi Province and Yaozhou Kiln of Shanxi Province in this paper. The experimental data were studied with statistic methods. The results indicated that the chemical compositions of ancient porcelain body samples made in three kilns were different. The difference is able to be identified. The porcelain body materials of both Silongkou Yue Kiln and Hongzhou Kiln were similar. The samples of Yaozhou kiln in north of China existed obvious difference.     

TL dating and XRF clay provenance analysis of ancient brick at Cuicul Roman city,Algeria

In this work, a terra-cotta brick collected from the famous archaeological Roman city Cuicul, Algeria, was successfully dated by thermoluminescence. The provenance of the fabrication material was also identified by X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF). The results obtained show that the brick was probably made in 198 A.D. This date is in good agreement with the history of the dated site and the neighborhood Caracalla arch edified in honour to Caracalla emperor (211–217 A.D.). The XRF study demonstrates that the raw clay used for the fabrication of the brick is local and well selected by the Roman builders.

     

Study of the occupation site for the ancient iron smelters at Samaru-west, Nigeria, using neutron activation analysis

Summary Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) has been employed to investigate the relationship between three ancient occupation sites — Samaru-west, Pantaki and Tsauni in Kaduna State, Nigeria, based on the analysis of cultural deposits at the sites. Samaru-west was found to be related with Pantaki site but not so with the Tsauni site. Elemental profiles for the pottery excavated from each site have been established.     

Investigating the provenance of un-dyed spun cotton fibre using multi-isotope profiles and chemometric analysis

The analysis of un-dyed spun cotton fibres can be challenging within a forensic science context where discrimination of one fibre from another is of importance. Conventional microscopic and chemical analysis of these fibres is generally unsuccessful because of their similar morphology. In this work we have explored the potential of isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) as a tool for spun cotton fibre analysis in an attempt to reveal any discriminatory information available. Seven different batches of un-dyed spun cotton fibre from four different countries were analysed. A combination of the hydrogen and oxygen isotopic data facilitated the correct association of the samples, demonstrating, for the first time, the applicability of IRMS to fibre analysis in this way.

Comments on calculations of nuclear spin-spin coupling constants using the blinder operator

It is pointed out that the finite second-order hyperfine self-coupling energies, obtained by the Blinder operator, are unphysical and 10² times too large. The additional terms in the first-order matrix element are also unphysical. Therefore the Blinder operator gives no improvement over the simple delta function. The consequences on the recent calculations by Paviot and Hoarau and by Sänger and Voitländer are discussed.

Concentrations of radon,thoron and their decay products measured in natural caves and ancient mines by using solid state nuclear track detectors and resulting radiation dose to the members of the public

Alpha- and beta-activities per unit volume of air due to radon (²²²Rn), thoron (²²⁰Rn) and their progenies were measured in the air of natural caves and ancient mines as well as inside different reference atmospheres by using CR-39 and LR-115 type II solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs). In addition, the radon concentration was continuously measured inside one of the studied caves by using the SSNTDs’ method and AlphaGuard counter. Equilibrium factors between radon and its daughters and between thoron and its progeny were evaluated in the studied atmospheres. Alpha-activities due to ²¹⁸Po and ²¹⁴Po short-lived radon decay products were determined in different compartments of the respiratory tract of members of the public. The committed equivalent doses due to the ²¹⁸Po and ²¹⁴Po radon short-lived progeny were evaluated in different tissues of the respiratory tract of the visitors of the considered caves and ancient mines. Annual effective doses due to radon progeny from the inhalation of air by the visitors of the studied caves and ancient mines were evaluated.

Metabolomics analysis of Ligustri Lucidi Fructus at different harvest times during the whole growing period based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry

After medicinal market research, it was found that the harvest time of Ligustri Lucidi Fructus (LLF) was chaotic in practice. In order to determine the optimal harvest period of LLF to ensure its pharmacological activity, metabolomics analysis of LLF at different harvest times based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole-(linear ion trap)-tandem mass spectrometry was established. In this study, 166 differential metabolites (DMs) in 448 metabolites at different harvest times were screened out based on variable importance in projection value, and among them, 94 DMs with regular trends of change in relative content (59 increased and 35 decreased with the growth period) were chosen to further research. The result of the multivariate statistical analysis showed that November was the optimal harvest period of LLF. Additionally, 10-hydroxyligustroside, oleoside 11-methyl ester, and salidroside were screened out to be used as the evaluation indicators of immature LLF, while specnuezhenide, nuezhenoside G13, and neonuezhenide were the evaluation indicators of mature LLF. This study provides fundamental insight for metabolite identification and proposes the best harvest period of LLF to avoid confusion in the medicinal market.     

Study of ion adsorption at passive iron by using the impedance and photoadmittance methods

Intensity-modulated photocurrent (photoadmittance) and electrochemical impedance of anodicoxidized iron electrode in neutral nitrate solutions and in the presence of Ba²⁺, Ca²⁺, Cl^?, and C₆H₅COO^? (benzoate) are studied. It is shown that the ion adsorption at passive iron affects but slightly the system’s impedance; by contrast, it affects the photocurrent value significantly: when adsorbing, the anions increase the photoeffect, while the cations decrease it. These effects are associated with the potential drop redistribution in the Helmholtz layer and the film. The dissimilar changes of the generation current in the presence of similarly charged ions at their equal concentration evidence their different adsorption activity. The correlation between the generation current and surface-active ion concentration in solution is found. The photoelectrochemical spectroscopy allows evaluating qualitatively the surface-active ion adsorption at the passive iron and judging on the ion adsorption by the dependence of the generation current on the ion concentration.     

Study on the recovery of hydrogen from refinery (hydrogen + methane) gas mixtures using hydrate technology

A novel technique for separating hydrogen from (H2 CH4) gas mixtures through hydrate formation/dissociation was proposed. In this work, a systematic experimental study was performed on the separation of hydrogen from (H2 CH4) feed mixtures with various hydrogen contents (mole fraction x = 40%-90%). The experimental results showed that the hydrogen content could be enriched to as high as ~94% for various feed mixtures using the proposed hydrate technology under a temperature slightly above 0℃ and a pressure below 5.0 MPa. With the addition of a small amount of suitable additives, the rate of hydrate formation could be increased significantly. Anti-agglomeration was used to disperse hydrate particles into the condensate phase. Instead of preventing hydrate growth (as in the kinetic inhibitor tests), hydrates were allowed to form, but only as small dispersed particles. Anti-agglomeration could keep hydrate particles suspended in a range of condensate types at 1℃ and 5 MPa in the water-in-oil emulsion.
