The Chemistry and Mechanism of Art Materials Unsuspected Properties and Outcomes

The Chemistry and Mechanism of Art Materials Unsuspected Properties and Outcomes

This unique book presents an integrated approach to the chemistry of art materials exploring the many chemical processes involved. The Chemistry and Mechanism of Art Materials: Unsuspected Properties and Outcomes engages readers with historical vignettes detailing examples of unexpected outcomes due to materials used by known artists. The book discusses artists’ materials focusing on relevant chemical mechanisms which underlie the synthesis and deterioration of inorganic pigments in paintings the ageing of the binder in oil paintings and sulfation of wall paintings as well as the toxicology of these pigments and solvents used by artists. Mechanisms illustrate the stepwise structural transformation of a variety of art materials. Based on the author’s years of experience teaching college chemistry the approach is descriptive and non-mathematical throughout. An introductory section includes a review of basic concepts and provides concise descriptions of analytical methods used in contemporary art conservation. Additional features include: Illustrations of chemical reactivity associated with art materials Includes a review of chemical bonding principles redox and mechanism writing Covers analytical techniques used by art conservation scientists Accessible for readers with a limited science background Provides numerous references for readers seeking additional information | The Chemistry and Mechanism of Art Materials Unsuspected Properties and Outcomes

The Art of Investigation Revisited Practical Tips from the Experts

The Art of Investigation Revisited Practical Tips from the Experts

The Art of Investigation Revisited: Practical Tips from the Experts examines the qual- ities required to be a professional thorough and effective investigator and is a follow up to the authors’ highly touted book The Art of Investigation (2019). This book features a wholly new line-up of investigators experienced professionals in the field who delve into the soft skills that make an investigator effective. Each chapter examines a specific quality required to be a professional thorough and—most importantly—successful in this challenging discipline. The editors and contributing authors are all top in their field and bring a wealth of real-world knowledge and experience to the subject. While several publications exist on the procedures and steps of an investigation few books cover the creative and intuitive skills required. Such traits are necessary to continually question in the face of investigative roadblocks unique qualities endemic to an inquisitive mind that can be trained to improve an investigator’s professional skill set. Each chapter discusses the applicability of the traits and requirements to the contributor’s own work and experience as an investigator. In doing so the contributors will provide valuable stories from their personal experience which demonstrates their use or a given trait and its importance in the course of their investigative work and career. The case examples included throughout are engaging and as is often the case surprising. An investigator must keep an open mind above all else and this book seeks to lift the veil on the inner workings of an investigation and the thought pro- cess and inner monologue of an investigator as part of that process. The book is a welcome addition to any investigator’s toolkit and is also of interest to students in criminal justice security and Homeland Security programs security consultants corporate and private security professionals and the legal community. | The Art of Investigation Revisited Practical Tips from the Experts

Melatonin in the Promotion of Health

Melatonin in the Promotion of Health

Melatonin is a powerful hormone and antioxidant with numerous effects on the metabolism and the health of humans. Available as a dietary supplement in the United States since 1993 it is one of the most popular over-the-counter alternative remedies available. Comprising contributions from researchers who have studied the role of melatonin in various disease and physiological states Melatonin in the Promotion of Health Second Edition provides a wide variety of expert reviews on the biology of melatonin relevant to health. Beginning with a history of melatonin and its relation to circadian rhythms the book examines its use in a host of applications including: Gut motility and gastrointestinal diseases Anesthesia and surgery Bone health Breast cancer Cardiovascular diseases Diabetes Age-related macular degeneration and uveitis Melanoma solar skin damage and collagen synthesis The prevention of DNA damage Mental disorders sleep and issues related to jet lag and shift work The data gathered from a large number of carefully controlled animal and human studies have clearly implicated melatonin in the control mechanisms of a wide variety of physiological and psychological activities making it a potent candidate for therapeutic use in the treatment of a diverse range of diseases. This volume demonstrates that continued studies of this molecule raise the exciting prospect of providing new avenues of treating numerous diseases more effectively and with less side-effects than those found in conventional treatment modalities.

Digital Forensic Art Techniques A Professional’s Guide to Corel Painter

Digital Forensic Art Techniques A Professional’s Guide to Corel Painter

Digital Forensic Art Techniques: A Professional’s Guide to Corel PainterTM illustrates hands-on techniques to digitally create forensic art for police and investigative purposes. Coverage focuses specifically on how to utilize the software to create realistic human likenesses including composites of suspects and drawings of persons in unidentified remains cases. Drawing digitally is like using any tool in art: a pencil a charcoal stick a conte’ crayon. A stylus is just another tool to master. Digital work is easier for artists to send to the case detective and the work always reproduces exactly as it was completed. Another benefit to working digitally is that one can use video conferencing with a witness online to provide services remotely world-wide. This enables police departments who have never had access to a forensic artist to have a sketch done within hours of the crime. Chapters address the more basic functions to serve as a primer for those transitioning to working digitally. There is also instruction on light and shadow and bones and muscles of the skull. All of the discussion is intended to make the reader see things as an artist to improve drawing skills and overall digital techniques. In short Digital Forensic Art Techniques is a practical easy-to-follow manual for working forensic artists that will give readers a solid base from which to start. It serves as an essential resource to greater skill and comfort with the hardware and software thus furthering current best practices and technological advances in the field. | Digital Forensic Art Techniques A Professional’s Guide to Corel Painter
