Portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (pXRF) allows for non-destructive analysis of archaeological artifacts but has limitations. Surface analyses may not be representative of the bulk composition due to corrosion effects. Different instruments require calibration and may not produce directly comparable results without standards. pXRF can provide an initial analysis of components but more accurate analysis of alloy composition requires other techniques on cleaned samples.

The document provides an overview and agenda for a grantee orientation web conference held by the Child Maltreatment Prevention Unit. The agenda covers introductions, an overview of the unit, fiscal processes like budgets, billing, and contract monitoring. It also reviews programmatic requirements such as evaluation components and reporting. Grantees will submit standardized invoices monthly including expenditure details. Source documentation for monitoring will be requested based on risk level. Budget revisions over 10% require approval. Data for evaluation includes aggregate demographics, outcomes, outreach activities and assessment analyses. Mid-year and final reports are due for different programs.
The meeting provided updates on diabetes initiatives at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and introduced changes at CDPHE. The goals were to discuss diabetes prevention and self-management programs, including building infrastructure for diabetes self-management education and the National Diabetes Prevention Program in high-need communities. The document also provided statistics on diabetes and prediabetes in Colorado.
The presenter is the president of Vertical Measures, an online marketing firm. He discusses why search engine optimization is important, noting that 93% of buyers conduct searches and 94% click organic links over paid links. He then outlines the eight key steps for a successful search optimization strategy: keyword research, developing content, optimizing elements, promoting content, distributing content, building links, measuring results, and achieving success through all eight steps.
This document summarizes the role and issues facing three main museums in Singapore: the National Museum of Singapore, the Singapore Art Museum, and the Asian Civilisations Museum. It discusses how the museums are used for political pragmatism, national education programs, and industry/economic goals. It also notes a growing "Occupy Museum" movement that challenges the established identities and roles of the museums.
This document discusses joint information systems and sharing information between different organizations during emergencies. It describes a joint information center used in Colorado that has 45 members from private organizations, non-profits, local, state and federal agencies. The joint information center staffs over 30 people annually and coordinates on a quarterly basis. It facilitates technology sharing and provides open information sharing, training opportunities, and resources to partners to help with events, exercises, outreach and preparedness.
This document provides guidelines on cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). It was developed by an international Task Force of experts in the field and provides indications for pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy based on the available clinical evidence. The guidelines cover topics such as persistent and intermittent bradycardia, cardiac resynchronization therapy for heart failure, pacing for specific conditions, complications of pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices, and management considerations.

This document discusses the degradation of plastics over time. It examines research on the breakdown of various plastic materials, such as polyethylene bottles and polystyrene cups, when exposed to different environmental conditions like weather, sediment, and heat over periods of 2 years. The research found that plastic type and environment significantly impact degradation rates, with thermal aging causing faster breakdown than weather or water exposure. Most plastics showed chemical changes within 24 months, with polyurethane breaking down most quickly. Cigarette butts were also examined and found to degrade into paper and acetic acid. Understanding plastic degradation can help address the global pollution problem.
This document discusses sustainable transport and packaging materials for artworks. It summarizes the risks involved in transporting cultural heritage like vibration, climate changes, theft and accidents. It outlines preventative measures like planning, confidentiality, gloves, experienced handlers, adequate packaging, labeling, fastening, couriers, supervision and equipment to control temperature and humidity. It also notes the dilemma between requirements for transporting art versus sustainable solutions. Different transport methods like trucks, planes, ships and trains are discussed in terms of sustainability. Finally, it provides examples of sustainable packaging and transport approaches like reusable crates, flexible packaging systems and virtual couriering.
1. The document provides guidance on practicing integrated pest management (IPM) in a calm and reasonable manner. It advises focusing IPM efforts on key areas like sanitation, exclusion of pests, and monitoring, rather than trying to inspect and treat everything.
2. Effective monitoring of pest populations involves using traps, record keeping, and identifying problem areas. Traps should be placed strategically and checked regularly.
3. Proper inspection is the foundation of any IPM program. Inspections should be routine and involve looking for pests, signs of pests, and conditions that could attract pests. Focus inspection on vulnerable areas and artifacts.
