Bioprotection of the built environment and cultural heritage

چکیده
The growth of microbial biofilms and various biomineralization phenomena can lead to the formation of stable layers and veneers on rocks known as 'rock varnishes' that can stabilize surfaces and protect from further weathering. This article describes the potential application of fungal systems for bioprotection of rock and mineral-based substrates and the evidence to support this concept of utilizing natural or engineered colonization and metabolic properties of fungi, including lichens.

متن کاملA biologically inspired model for describing the user behaviors in a Cultural Heritage environment
We present a biologically inspired mathematical model for describing the personalized interactions of users with cultural heritage objects. The main idea is to measure the interest of an artwork spectator by means of a model able to capture the context and the visitor behaviors. In the proposed approach, the user is assimilated to a computational neuron, and its interests are deduced by countin...
