Firing is a crucial step in the production of pottery, as it irreversibly transforms clay into ceramic. Clay sintering and subsequent vitrification occur during firing, together with other transformations undergone by specific minerals rock inclusions according to their optical physical properties, including colour. Some these are visible thin-sections might be interpreted technological markers...

In Amazonian archaeological discussion the concept of tradition presupposes a keen connection between pottery styles and specific language groups. Multicultural traditions or transcultural adaptions are often pushed aside. Denise Schaan returned to horizon in order explain number phenomena from wide geographical chronological perspective. Also this study Polychrome Horizon is used, but it divid...

Environmental pollution in the pottery industry is a severe problem, particularly dust and smoke from building-pottery industry. The main objectives of this study are to quantify carbon emissions solid-waste generation life cycle production Yunnan. This was carried out between November 2020 May 2021. LCA used, 1 kg used as functional unit. There lot literature obtain data on solid waste generat...

We show that a nanoscale polymer solution electrojet can coil to form free-standing hollow pottery as the jet is focused onto a sharp electrode tip. A scaling law is given based on the balance of the electrostatic compression force and the elastic resistance to predict the coil radius and frequency as the functions of relevant physical parameters. The structures formed by the nanofibers can be ...

Videos indexed according to subject motion are useful for review and study purposes. A video can include various motions, but only one is the movement of interest (MOI). In our approach, the user selects the desired motion by lassoing it on the screen; similar motions are retrieved based on an optical flow histogram of the selected region. We use two videos, tennis and pottery making, to verify...

We show that the frequency distributions of cultural variants, in three different real-world examples--first names, archaeological pottery and applications for technology patents--follow power laws that can be explained by a simple model of random drift. We conclude that cultural and economic choices often reflect a decision process that is value-neutral; this result has far-reaching testable i...
