Resin-Glazed Pottery in Bolivia

Resin bonding of metal brackets to glazed zirconia with a porcelain primer

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to compare the shear bond strength between orthodontic metal brackets and glazed zirconia using different types of primer before applying resin cement and to determine which primer was more effective. METHODS Zirconia blocks were milled and embedded in acrylic resin and randomly assigned to one of four groups: nonglazed zirconia with sandblasting and zirc...

Glazed Transitional Space as a Passive Heating System (Case Study: Glazed Loggias in Semi-Arid climate)

The environmental concern, ensuring comfort for occupants, pushed us to search for the impact of glazed loggia on thermal comfort of adjacent space in Cons tantine climate, having s trong climatic cons traints. An experimental s tudy is undertaken and described in this paper. Analysis of the in situ results is also discussed. This work shows that in winter glazed loggia benefit largely from sol...

Pottery Sample Descriptions

Each pottery specimen analyzed was selected on the basis of its potential to reveal information about taxonomic relationships, in addition to providing samples for chemical and mineral analyses. Preference was given to larger sherds with distinct temper and surface treatment characteristics. Table A.1 describes the provenience of the 70 samples. Table A.2 includes the paste and temper character...

Thermal Stresses in Double-Glazed Windows

Automated Documentation System for Pottery

Motivated by the requirements of the present archaeology, we are developing an automated documentation system for archaeological classification and reconstruction of ceramics. Our system works with the profile of an archaeological fragment, which is the cross-section of the fragment in the direction of the rotational axis of symmetry. Ceramic fragments are recorded automatically by a 3D-measure...
