However despite funding constraints, projects often involve similar or even duplicate work carried out at the same site. This emphasizes the need for an enterprise whose purpose is to coordinate research projects in this field. The EPOCH programme has been established to address ...

paraloid-mg(oh)2 nanocomposites were synthesized via sonochemical method. nanostructures were characterized by xrd and sem. thermal stability behavior of paraloid filled with magnesium hydroxide was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (tga). the influence of mg(oh)2 nanostructures on the flame retardancy of the paraloid matrix was studied using ul-94 analysis. our results show that the m...

Cultural heritage content is everywhere on the web, in traditional environments such as libraries, museums, galleries and audiovisual archives, but also in popular magazines and newspapers, in multiple languages and multiple media. MultiMatch is a 30 month specific targeted research project under the Sixth Framework Programme, supported by the unit for Content, Learning and Cultural Heritage (D...

The preservation, archival, and study of cultural heritage is of the utmost importance at local, national, and international levels. Not only global organizations like UNESCO but also museums, libraries, cultural institutions, and private initiatives are working in these directions. During the last three decades, researchers in the field of imaging science have started to contribute a growing s...

This article is aimed at defining a framework for the design of e-government services on cultural heritage. Starting from an analysis of three cases on digitization of different types of cultural objects, we highlight the problems existing in the creation of e-services on cultural heritage. These cases show the existence of four key issues in the development of this kind of information systems:...

The article provides a critical assessment of the more recent literature that relies on theoretical frameworks such as post modernism and globalization to deal with national identity, ethnicity and cultural mobility. Explaining sensitive and complicated issues such as identity requires the extensive use of the native historical, cultural and sociological sources related to the Iranian experienc...
