Perspex Jars for Pathological Museums

Annealing of For&d Perspex Structures

Automatic control for evacuating anaerobic jars.

Displacement of oxygen by an inert gas is a method for attaining anaerobiosis which is preferred by many bacteriology laboratories because of the low cost of the process, and because of the small but real danger of explosion when the alternative, hydrogen with ignition, is used. Several cycles of evacuation and filling are necessary; usually, oxygen-free nitrogen is used with a final charge of ...

SCULPTEUR: Multimedia Retrieval for Museums

The paper describes the prototype design and development of a multimedia system for museums and galleries. Key elements in the system are the introduction of 3-D models of museum artefacts together with 3-D as well as 2-D content based retrieval and navigation facilities and the development of a semantic layer, centred on an ontology for museums, which aims to expose the richness of knowledge a...

Tests of performance of anaerobic jars.

This paper briefly reviews methods of assessing the in-use performance of anaerobic jars and outlines a simple system combining a rapid test of catalytic activity with a biological indicator that can detect defects in the jars after incubation.
