The small statuette of a bound barbarian from Hungarian private collection is an interesting addition to the group these similar, although unusually harsh Roman representations their foes. Although without known findspot it further strengthens previous suppositions that were made and used for unknown purpose at limes, greatest concentration being in Carnuntum.

abstract this article tries to look at the jewels of the ancient luristan (nowadays luristan province and some parts of ilam and kermanshah provinces), and to have a survey on this precious art and its typology. these jewels have been gathered by way of many scientific and unscientific excavations at last decades in the ancient sites like: kalmakareh, varkaboud, kalvali, sorkh dom, kamtarlan (k...

The high cost of metal powder materials and the energy consumption methods involved in their production have led to an increase technologies for restoration hardening parts. One method solving this problem is recycling powders. A promising processing waste from machine-building industries, including those utilizing non-ferrous metals alloys, electroerosive dispersion. Metallic powders secondary...

Medical image registration is pre-processing needed for many medical image analysis procedures. A very large number of registration algorithms are available today, but their performance is often not known and very difficult to assess due to the lack of gold standard. The Bronze Standard algorithm is a very data and compute intensive statistical approach for quantifying registration algorithms a...

Os sinos são instrumentos de percussão, da famı́lia dos idiófonos. São dispositivos de produção de som apenas aparentemente simples. O seu corpo é constitúıdo de uma liga metálica chamada bronze, que é uma combinação de cobre e estanho em proporções que podem sofrer ligeiras variações. No interior do sino encontra-se o badalo um pêndulo que, quando oscila, atinge o corpo fazendo com que o sino s...

Approximate timeline

Thermal expansion of Li0.9Mo6O17 is a-axis dominated which reduces the separation of the conducting chains at low temperature enhancing the interchain coupling. This destabilizes the Luttinger-liquid fixed point leading to an electronic charge- (or spin-) density wave dominated by Coulomb repulsion, as predicted by theories for Luttinger liquids.
