In this article, glaze with different colorants was applied to tile specimens manufactured by incinerated sewage sludge ash (ISSA) and clay. Improvements using different amounts of colorants, and glaze components and concentrations on tile bodies were investigated. Four different proportions of clay (by weight ratio) were replaced by ISSA. Tiles of size 12 cm x 6 cm x 1 cm were made and left in...

We present a way of rendering painting-like images and sequences by our Stochastic Painting-based SBR technique. We avoid disturbing artifacts by coding the images in a painting-like way. If we code the resulting stroke sequence, than the level of error comes not from the artifacts but from the painting process. For this reason, if we generate high quality paintings, we can transfer the image w...

The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that glazing will affect the Weibull modulus or the mean flexural strength of dental porcelain. Four groups (n = 30) of specimens were prepared from feldspathic body porcelain (Vita VMK 68). The specimens were tested in groups: original glazed condition (control), and after grinding separately with 1,000-grit, 600-grit, and 100-grit si...

The utilisation preference of glazed facades in the hot regions is accompanied by serious environmental and economic impacts. Attempts are continuing to fulfil an optimum balance between minimising heat gains and maximising daylighting benefits; in an economical approach. This study was conducted in Egypt, where a real case study was investigated to evaluate the thermo-visual performance of a b...

achaemenid glazed bricks of archaeological excavation of tall-e-ajori in persepolis city were studied by multiple instrumental analysis methods  such as xrf, xrd, sem-eds, icp and optical microscopy to identify the compositional features of glaze and brick body. glaze samples are apparently white and yellow  and this phenomenon are caused by the deterioration processes in burial environment, he...

1 I N T R O D U C T I O N In order to produce Expert System for Chinese flower and bird paintings, one needs a data base of the painting composition techniques of the painters. The authors are currently studying the recognition of painters' composition as the first step to making this data base. At this stage, the authors were able to determine the similar painting elements and the composition ...

The method presented in this paper answers the following question related to the documentation of mural painting conservation: how can information technology be applied in order to achieve ease of symbolizing and updating, better accuracy, flexible presentation, ease of integration and cross-link with other data? Furthermore, another important issue: are all these possible at a low cost? 1. GRA...

Digital painting is becoming increasingly popular. While the interaction design of most digital painting software or device is confined to square screens, which limit the experience of painting. Colode is a digital painting system that reallocates the interactions of painting in a tangible approach. User can pick color from nature and use the color to draw on mobile devices anywhere. By integra...

the purpose of this article is to investigate the differences between men and women’s painting regardless of being limited to presuppositions about masculine and feminine art. therefore, first the appearance of differences between men and women art during the eighteenth and nineteenth century is considered. having done that, various types of women’s painting, feminine painting and feminism pain...
