Preliminary study on analysis and removal of wax from a Carrara marble statue
2015
This preliminary study has mainly focused on the wax identification by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and removal. Wax is used for many purposes in the field of art as protective coatings on wooden, stone or metal objects. From the comparison of the spectra H NMR and in particular with the correspondence of the resonance peaks of the samples taken from the statue and beeswax and paraffin, we can conclude that the wax applied on the statue surface is beeswax. From our data, it can be concluded that, to remove the beeswax, from any stone support, the more effective solvent is the mixture of cyclohexane/ethyl acetate. The removal percentages ranged from 19 to 99%. Lower percentages of remova…

IRIDE: Interdisciplinary research infrastructure based on dual electron linacs and lasers
2014
This paper describes the scientific aims and potentials as well as the preliminary technical design of RUDE, an innovative tool for multi-disciplinary investigations in a wide field of scientific, technological and industrial applications. IRIDE will be a high intensity "particles factory", based on a combination of high duty cycle radio-frequency superconducting electron linacs and of high energy lasers. Conceived to provide unique research possibilities for particle physics, for condensed matter physics, chemistry and material science, for structural biology and industrial applications, IRIDE will open completely new research possibilities and advance our knowledge in many branches of sci…
Voltammetric determinations of platinum and rhodium in particulate of Palermo (Italy) area
2012
Traffic has an important impact on the air quality which affects both the environmental and human health. Since the introduction of PGE-containing catalytic converters, a number studies have been undertaken to determine the effects of PGE emissions on human and to environment. This requires the development of good analytic methods to measure Pt and Rh concentrations in environmental matrices, as well to estimate background concentrations. In this paper are presented the results concerning Pt and Rh concentrations in PM10 samples collected at five stations within the urban area of Palermo. The highest mean values (Pt= 13 pg/m3, Rh=9.8 pg/m3) were recorded at an urban station, and the lowest …
Il web per la cultura. Dalla digital identity alla progettazione dei servizi in rete.
2006
Negli ultimi decenni è in atto una trasformazione nell’ambito dei beni culturali definibile come un processo di apertura dei luoghi della cultura (musei, siti archeologici, biblioteche, etc.) verso l’esterno, determinato dalle istituzioni stesse, con il loro differente modo di intendere la conservazione e di gestire la fruizione del patrimonio storico-artistico e dal sistema dei fruitori, con la loro diversa domanda del prodotto culturale, che si svolge in tempi e modi differenti rispetto al passato. D’altra parte, gli studiosi della cybercultura segnalano che il nostro tempo, con l’incalzante introduzione di nuove tecnologie e strumenti, apparterrebbe in realtà solo agli albori di una rivo…
New Insight on Archaeological Metal Finds, Nails and Lead Sheathings of the Punic Ship from Battle of the Egadi Islands
2023
The wreck of the Punic ship exhibited at the Archaeological Park of Lilybaeum (Marsala, Italy) is a unique example in the world. In this paper, the investigation of some metal finds (30 nails and 3 fragments of sheathings) belonging to the wreck of the Punic ship is reported. Portable X-ray fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy allowed us to identify the elements and compounds constituting them and make some deductions about their composition. X-ray diffractometry, polarised optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy of the collected micro-samples allowed us to explain the degradation that occurred in the underwater environment.
Diagnostic system based on the T.r.u.e. Methodology (Termography, Radar, Ultrasound, Endoscopy) and its applications
2013
Il poster 1 è dedicato alla Metodologia T.R.U.E., che persegue l'obiettivo di supportare la progettazione del restauro, con particolare riferimento alla conservazione delle superfici di finitura e nel rispetto del valore di autenticità materiale delle architetture storiche. Poster number 1 is dedicated to the T.R.U.E. Methodology, that pursues the finality to elaborate the project for the conservation of the architectural surfaces and, in general, the respect of the authenticity of the materials stratified on the monumental architectures.

Assessment of quality of air in Palermo by chemical (ICP-OES) and cytological analyses on leaves of Eucalyptus camaldulensis
2013
In this work, we studied the influence of air pollution on the morpho-structural, biochemical and chemical composition of Eucalyptus camaldulensis leaves. Analyses were carried out on 22 samples collected in Palermo (Italy) area. Considering the mean concentrations (in unwashed leaves) of investigated metals, nutrient elements as Fe (214 mg kg(-1) dry weight (d.w.)), Mn (160 mg kg(-1) d.w.) and Zn (39 mg kg(-1) d.w.) were the most abundant, whereas Pb (5.6 mg kg(-1) d.w.) and Cd (0.072 mg kg(-1) d.w.) showed the lowest concentrations. The values of metal pollution index (MPI) ranged from 6.0 (station no. 15) to 25 (station no. 8) and from 4.0 (station no. 16) to 17 (stations no. 7 and no. 1…
