Characterization of Dye Extracts from Historical Cultural-Heritage Objects Using State-of-the-Art Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry with Active Modulation and Optimized Shifting Gradients.

ABSTRACT: Unbiased characterization of dyes and their degradation products in cultural-heritage objects requires an analytical method which provides universal separation power regardless of dye classes. Dyes are small molecules that vary widely in chemical structure and properties, which renders their characterization by a single method challenging. We have developed a comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography method hyphenated with mass spectrometry and UV-vis detection. We use stationary-phase-assisted modulation to enhance the method in terms of detection limits and solvent compatibility and to reduce the analysis time. The PIOTR program was used to optimize an assembly of shifting second-dimension gradients, which resulted in a high degree of orthogonality (80% in terms of the asterisk concept). The resulting method is universally applicable to all classes of dyes extracted from cultural-heritage objects. Thanks to the high peak capacity and orthogonality, dye components can be separated from chemically similar impurities and degradation products, providing a detailed fingerprint of the dyes mixture in a specific sample. The method was applied to a number of challenging dye extracts from 17th- and 19th-century cultural-heritage objects.

Project description:In this initial attempt to identify fungi predominantly colonizing art objects, mural paintings and a bas-relief, at 12 archaeological sites in the central and western parts of Thailand, 13 fungal isolates were identified using morphological technique and estimated for their prevalence frequency at each site. Five main genera of fungal community found were Aspergillus, Fusarium, Curvularia, Penicillium, and Neurospora. These fungi were further identified to species level by molecular method utilizing nucleotide sequence homology analysis of the conserved internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Environmental factors such as temperature, relative humidity, and the opening or closure of the temples did not have any influence upon the fungal type. From the area-based distribution, Aspergillus was found at all collection sites, while Fusarium was found in Bangkok, and Ratchaburi and Petchaburi provinces in the western part of the country. Curvularia was found mostly in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya and Lopburi provinces, and in one temple in Petchaburi. From the phylogenetic relationship, these prevalent fungi were divided into three closely related groups: Aspergillus and Penicillium, Fusarium and Neurospora, and Curvularia. In addition, growth inhibition of the fungi by local plant extracts of betel leaves, custard apple leaves, mangosteen peel, and guava leaves at 10,000 ppm were investigated. Mangosteen peel extract gave the highest fungal growth inhibition for all the Curvularia tested, being 68.3%, 65.6%, and 60% for C. verruculosa, C. geniculata, and C. lunata, respectively. Guava leave extract also yielded highest growth inhibition of 64.4% for C. verruculosa. Both betel leave and custard apple leave extracts showed the highest inhibition towards A. fumigatus, at 65.1% and 61.8%, respectively. The results obtained here are basic information necessary for future applications in the biological prevention of art objects, and the design of appropriate measures for preventive conservation of Thai cultural heritage.

Project description:The transformation of social development modes has led to profound changes in the pattern of intangible cultural heritage, while simultaneously posing significant challenges to its preservation. The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has brought new development opportunities in various research fields. This study intends, by constructing and evaluating a theoretical model, to investigate whether AI-generated cultural and creative products can promote the sustainability of intangible cultural heritage. The central focus of this research is to measure the effectiveness of AI technologies in promoting the sustainability of intangible cultural heritage. The context of the research design is rooted in the attention, interest, search, action, and share (AISAS) model, incorporating theories of perceived value and cultural identity, to forecast the long-term viability of AI-generated cultural and creative products in the promotion of intangible cultural heritage. This research was conducted in Tianjin, China and carried out using quantitative methods, a questionnaire survey, and the accidental sampling method, taking a sample of 291 participants for analysis. The results show that 1) the attraction of and interest and participation in AI-generated Yangliuqing New Year Print cultural and creative products have a positive effect on perceived value; 2) the purchase and sharing of these products have a positive impact on cultural identity; 3) the perceived value has a positive impact on cultural identity; and 4) cultural identity has a positive impact on the sustainability of intangible cultural heritage. This study contributes to the theoretical development and practical application of the AISAS model and offers valuable insights into the future development trajectory of intangible cultural heritage, thereby promoting its sustainability. The limitations of this study are its small sample size and geographical restrictions. In future studies, the sample size will be expanded and will include more regions for data analysis.
