Requirements of Analytical Methodology Applied to Archaeometric and Conservation Research... 

Intentionally select or sample components not yet examined. This strategy is frequently applied in art conservation research aimed at the identification of specific alterations or the characterization of the artist s palette. 

The number of samples to take depends upon the type of object analyzed and the level of accuracy required for the estimate. In general, the larger the number of samples, the higher the level of accuracy is reached in the analysis however, the number of samples is restricted by the constraints within the field of art conservation research, so a compromise between these requisites must be achieved. 

The size of sample is also restricted in the field of art conservation research. Nevertheless, the degree of heterogeneity of the object imposes an inferior limit to the sample s size, so a compromise between size of sample and size of the confidence interval acceptable should be achieved in each particular case study. 

Most of the analytical techniques applied in art conservation research require the preparation of the sample prior to the analysis step. Although the sample preparation procedures vary in a wide range, five basic types of procedures can be established grinding, dissolving, derivatizing, melting and embedding. 

Two basic requirements must be met for the instrumental technique when it is applied in art conservation research sensitivity, for obtaining relevant data from small samples on the nano, micro or mill (-gram, -meter) scale and specificity, for unambiguously identifying compounds and quantifying the analytes from the complex mixtures of substances that form the materials present in the monument or artwork. Other requirements are also desirable for an analytical method when it is applied to objects of artistic, historic, and archaeological nature according to Lahanier et al. [2], these are ...

Conservation Research Use of Dielectric and Microwave Energy to Thaw and Dry Frozen Library Materials... 

All flooded paper materials—books, periodicals, documents, rare books, files, and records—were frozen as quickly as possible to prevent biological growth. A restoration effort to save the library s contents and a parallel on-site applied conservation research program were established. The goal of this research program was to develop, whenever possible, new techniques and to improve traditional methods for restoring flood-damaged library materials (1). 

Special thanks are due the administrators of the U.S. National Museum Act for their initial support and recognition of the need to conduct this conservation research simultaneously with the actual restoration of the flood-damaged materials and the subsequent support of the National Endowment for the Arts.

A standards program would enable archivists to develop maximum information through statistical procedures and make maximum use of conservation research facilities. 

Since the Agricultural Adjustment Acts of the 1930s were originally adopted, they have gradually become more of environmental protection statutes than price supports for producers. With these environmental initiatives, many of the Farm Bill s provisions directly impact the use of pesticides and fertilizers on the farm. Title XIV, XVI, and XXI covering Conservation,Research, and Organic Certification, respectively, impact agrochemical use directly.
