Role of radiation physics in the study and authentication of ancient gold work

International audience"Ancient gold items are important expressions of different aspects of past civilisations. By using non-destructive techniques of analysis and exam it is possible to obtain data kept within the objects morphology and within the materials employed, providing information, among others, on the manufacturing technologies, on the functions attributed to the objects, and on the sources of raw material exploited. This paper aims to give an overview of the questions raised by cultural heritage objects made with gold, and the role of science-based techniques applied to their study and authentication. Two examples serve to illustrate this: one concerns 19th century restorations of Etruscan objects and the other the provenance of Merovingian gold." (source éditeur

Apparatus for applying pesticides to livestock

A device is described for applying pesticide to livestock which includes a vertical cylindrical reservoir and a wick positioning assembly. Wicks extend from the reservoir up through the wick positioning assembly and dangle down outside the reservoir to a level low enough so that they can brush against livestock walking beneath the device. When a liquid pesticide composition is placed in the reservoir, wicking action will carry the pesticide through the wicks and apply it to the livestock as they contact the wicks.U
