In situ microscopy consists of simultaneously applying several microscopy techniques without separating the biological component from its habitat. Over the past few years, this strategy has allowed characterization of the biofilms involved in biodeterioration processes affecting stone monuments and has revealed the biogeophysical and biogeochemical impact of the microbiota present. In addition,...

The conservation of a primary importance historical building requires organization, management, continuous updating, comparison, and visualization large amount data different nature origin. In relation to these aspects the use GIS brings various advantages including single univocal management entire existing in relational, dynamic, updatable queryable way. integration mobile solution permits up...

Stone monuments (statues, fountains, tombs, memorials, buildings, etc.) are apparently indestructible artefacts that were built to last. Depending on the chemical composition and structure, stones may be friendly or hostile to colonization by eukaryotic and/or prokaryotic communities. Among various lithotypes, porous rocks (limestone, sandstone) have highest bioreceptivity. Abiotic factors have...

the increasing availability of massive amounts of quantitative data is fundamentally changing our perspective and research. Understanding impressive amounts of data – including bibliographies, inventory and research databases, Flickr images of historic sites, scanned books, click-streams of literature downloads, and other linked data is just as transformative for humanities, as the ideas of qua...

Abstract The documentation of cultural heritage objects requires a special approach, as does the collection materials describing monument over period time. With development measurement and information technologies, such can be supplemented by digital model object, 3D visualization in computer environment, or miniature, scaled printout. This paper presents methodology for developing Monument to ...
