Preservative value

Chromium-containing wood preservatives and their chemical compositions are Hsted ia Table 13 (199). Chromium compounds have a triple function ia wood preservation (200). Most importantiy, after impregnation of the wood the Cr(VI) compounds used ia the formulations react with the wood extractives and the other preservative salts to produce relatively insoluble complexes from which preservative leaches only very slowly. This mechanism has been studied in the laboratory (201—206) and the field (207). Finally, although most of the chromium is reduced to chromium (ITT), there is probably some slight contribution of the chromium (VT) to the preservative value (208).

Petroleum distillates play an extensive role in wood preservation as solvents and diluents for the active ingredient but appear to have little or no preservative value. Many light petroleum solvents and gases deliver the preservative and help it penetrate into the wood before evaporating. 

The genesis of Lean is the Toyota prodnction system (TPS). In TPS, value is defined as any action or process that a customer would be willing to pay for. Essentially, Lean is centered on preserving value with less work. For many organizations, TPS has almost become a religion. And, like most religious doctrines, there are many variations of Lean thinking. There are also zealots. 

The resins are also responsible for the preservative value of the hop although the current view is that hops contribute little to the biological stability of beer. In the past the results of both microbiological and chemical assays were expressed in terms of preservative value (PV) and this term is still sometimes used as though it was synonymous with the resin content. The fractionation of the resins and their chemical constitutions is discussed fully in Chapter 13, but it should be noted here that the majority of the brewing value is found in the a-acid fraction of the resins and that hops can contain 2-12% of a-acid. 

Other aspects of preservative value are discussed by Lochhead and Farrell (1936), Hamman (1951), Souci (1951), and von Schelhorn (1953). 

By the end of the 19th century, the dual properties of the flavour and preservative value of hops had become the subjects of investigation by chemists. In the 1880s the effect of the hop resins on beer spoilage bacteria had been demonstrated [1,2] and later their influence on some pathogenic organisms [3]. The resin fractions designated alpha and beta were separated and their bactericidal activities compared [4]. For a while, the resin content of a hop was used as an indication of preservative value (P.V.). It was found that the resins contained the bitter principles while the aroma was predominantly due to the essential (volatile) oil. 

Food chemists who use SOg as a preservative to inhibit microorganisms have known for a long time that its preservative value is greatly influenced by pH as this determines the form in which the sulfurous acid is present (Vass and Ingram, 1949 Cruess et al., 1931 Rahn and Conn, 1944). These workers discovered that at high pH s sulfurous acid was quite ineffective against yeast and molds, while at low pH s only a trace was needed to inhibit their growth. 

Globally-Focused Craftspersons preserve values, provide services, and strive to bring about ethically sound results at the global level. Moral imagination is crucial because it provides ethical engineers with effective means for overcoming the pitfalls of telescopic philanthropy and clues engineers into the salient particulars of remote communities. 

In the late 1980s attempts were made in California to shift fuel use to methanol in order to capture the air quaHty benefits of the reduced photochemical reactivity of the emissions from methanol-fueled vehicles. Proposed legislation would mandate that some fraction of the sales of each vehicle manufacturer be capable of using methanol, and that fuel suppHers ensure that methanol was used in these vehicles. The legislation became a study of the California Advisory Board on Air QuaHty and Fuels. The report of the study recommended a broader approach to fuel quaHty and fuel choice that would define environmental objectives and allow the marketplace to determine which vehicle and fuel technologies were adequate to meet environmental objectives at lowest cost and maximum value to consumers. The report directed the California ARB to develop a regulatory approach that would preserve environmental objectives by using emissions standards that reflected the best potential of the cleanest fuels. 

Extraterrestrial dust particles can be proven to be nonterrestrial by a variety of methods, depending on the particle si2e. Unmelted particles have high helium. He, contents resulting from solar wind implantation. In 10-)J.m particles the concentration approaches l/(cm g) at STP and the He He ratio is close to the solar value. Unmelted particles also often contain preserved tracks of solar cosmic rays that are seen in the electron microscope as randomly oriented linear dislocations in crystals. Eor larger particles other cosmic ray irradiation products such as Mn, Al, and Be can be detected. Most IDPs can be confidently distinguished from terrestrial materials by composition. Typical particles have elemental compositions that match solar abundances for most elements. TypicaUy these have chondritic compositions, and in descending order of abundance are composed of O, Mg, Si, Ee, C, S, Al, Ca, Ni, Na, Cr, Mn, and Ti. 

For different types of collections, this balance is differently defined. For example paper conservation treatments commonly undertaken in the museum conservation laboratory would be impractical in a Hbrary archive having a far greater collection size. The use of treatments for mass paper quantities would be unacceptable in the art museum. Documents in archives and books in Hbraries serve a different goal from art objects in a museum. Their use value Hes primarily in their information rather than in an intrinsic esthetic value. Whereas optimal preservation of that information value requires preservation of the object itself, a copy or even a completely different format could serve the same purpose. 

Clearly, the intended use of a collection item is extremely important to determining the acceptabiHty of a treatment. The degree to which a treatment affects appearance is obviously of the greatest importance for an art object. On the other hand, in natural history collections the collections serve as research resources above all. The effect a preservation or conservation treatment has on these research appHcations is the main consideration. Collections of art, archaeology, history, science, technology, books, archival materials, etc, all have their own values in terms of balance between preservation needs and collections use, and these values are, moreover, constantly subject to reevaluation and change.
