The Linfen kiln complex, one of the most representative Shanxi kilns, is famous for its oil spotted glazed ware production. In this work, micro-Raman spectroscopy was applied to analyze nature rusty spot pattern a bowl fragment from kilns. Crystals polygonal shape found in spots at glaze surface and around bubbles cross-section were identified as hematite. Their distribution suggests that nucle...

The color of 7 composite resins, an unfilled restorative resin, and 3 glaze coatings was determined by reflection spectrophotometry and visually with Munsell color tabs. Statistically significant correlations existed between comparable parameters of the spectrophotometric and Munsell data. There was observable color variations among the 11 resins studied, but only 3 materials were within the ra...

Abstract The hare’s fur glazed Jian wares characterized by radial fur-like strips, as one of the typical representatives Chinese ceramics in 10th-13th century (A.D.), were famous for aesthetic values highlighting color sparkling effects tea soup, which indispensable culture. firing technology glaze not only played a crucial role development ceramic history, but also enlightened modern imitation...

A case of deliberate overdose of barium sulphide in a psychiatric setting is presented, with resulting flaccid paralysis, malignant arrhythmia, respiratory arrest and severe hypokalaemia, but ultimately with complete recovery. The degree of paralysis appears to be related directly to serum barium levels. The value of early haemodialysis, particularly with respiratory paralysis and hypokalaemia,...

We present an overview of historical and emerging p-type TCMs. critically assess the halide perovskites returned from high-throughput screening studies. Earth abundant non-oxides are promising candidates for TCM applications.
