Abstract:

Fascination with petrified wood has stimulated interest in understanding the process of natural petrifaction. Early attempts of modeling natural petrifaction in the laboratory have been limited to mimicking incipient permineralization resulting in the creation of silica casts of pore spaces and inner cell walls. Silica lithomorphs produced through artificial silicification provided a possible avenue for studying microstructure of wood. More recently artificial petrifaction is motivated by the goal of creating advanced ceramic materials for engineering applications. The concept of using wood as a biotemplate has led to the creation of porous ceramics by cell wall replacement. To some extent artificial and natural petrifaction processes are comparable; although, some of the materials and procedures used in the laboratory are not found in nature. Research focused on the composition and structure of fossil wood from different-aged deposits is compared with research focused on the development of wood-templated porous ceramics. Differences and similarities in the pathways of natural silicification and creation of biomorphous ceramics are discussed. The comparison between artificial and natural silicification highlights the particular significance of the degree to which (de)lignification is needed for silica permeation.

Abstract:

Legends are narratives that emerged at a point where imagination and truth intersect, in other words, where the colors are not clear but gray colors dominate. It is not possible for a legend to determine which point of the truth or where in the imagination, which is more dominant, for a legend at the first moment it is read or listened to. We can immediately believe every single event in the legend, even if they are full of extraordinary things, because they are life and habitable events. One of the varieties that we encounter a lot in legends is the legends with petrifaction motif. These legends, which spread rapidly among people with "exemplary storytelling", make serious contributions to the continuation of the social order with the social messages they give to the society. These legends help the social order to easily process the religious, cultural and social rules to the individuals and place them in their subconscious in order to ensure the social order. In the study, Sakaoğlu's work was centered, and the legends of petrifaction were classified under 10 titles according to the assets that were petrifaction assets, in 7 main titles according to the events experienced by these beings, under 28 subtitles, and under 12 main titles according to the intensity of the topics covered, and 57 subtitles. Each sub-title has been interpreted in terms of the social messages to be given in the legends. In addition, the numerical densities of the legends are also indicated according to each sub-title. As a result, it has been revealed with numerical data that human beings are at the center of the legends about petrifaction with a rate of 85.9%, and social messages are generally focused on people and their mistakes.

Abstract:

Ancient forests comprised an enormous biomass and typically flourished in lowland habitats that offered favorable conditions for fossllization, so it is not surprising that petrified wood is the most abundant terrestrial fossil. Petrifaction of wood by carbonates, sulfides, oxides, and phosphates is evidence that fossilization can occur under diverse geochemical conditions, but silicification is by far the most common process.

Abstract:

The eddy current sensor can be used to measure the displacement. It is widely used in petrifaction, electric power, mechanism. The eddy current sensor has fast dynamic response, non-contact measurement, and better adaptability characters. The accuracy of eddy current sensor often is influenced by the environment temperature. The environment temperature effect is analyzed and put forward to a method to compensate to enhance the accuracy.

Abstract:

AbstractFascinating methods and materials for preserving dead bodies from decomposition were used by different populations in any time for various reasons. During the XVIII-XIX centuries, the necessity of preserving bodies increased, in order to improve anatomical studies, and many methods were developed. Girolamo Segato (1792-1836) devoted himself to the art of “petrifaction“, discovering a particular procedure, which permitted him to obtain amazing results. His sudden death prevented him from revealing his method: recent studies have disclosed unexpected contacts between Segato and American scientists, who were very interested in his work.

Abstract:

This article examines a series of Greek myths which establish a structural equivalence between two motifs, stoning and blinding; the two penalties either substitute for one another in alternative versions of a single story, or appear in sequence as repayments in kind. After reviewing other theories concerning the motives behind blinding and lapidation, I argue that both punishments-together with petrifaction and live imprisonment, which frequently figure alongside the other motifs-are directed against individuals whose crimes generate pollution. This miasma affects not only the perpetrator of the deed, but risks spreading to the community at large, and prompts measures aimed at containing the source of the disease. Both blinding and lapidation are designed to cordon off the contaminant by removing him from all visual and tactile contact with other men. But it is not only the nature of the crimes that explains the kinship between the two penalties. I further argue that the attributes Greek thinking assigned to stones, repeatedly characterized as unseeing, mute, immobile, and dry, and symbolic of the condition of the dead, elucidate the connections and clarify the antagonism that myth suggests between lapidation and sight. Stoning, blinding, imprisonment, and petrifaction all consign the criminal to an existence exactly parallel to that of the stone, stripping him of the properties that distinguish the living from the dead, and making him both unseeing and unseen. Three examples drawn from archaic and classical literature provide examples of these interactions between stones, blindness, invisibility, and death: the snake portent sent by Zeus in Book 2 of the Iliad, the Perseus myth, and Hermes' activity in both the Homeric Hymn to Hermes and Aeschylus' Choephoroe.

This thesis proposes to investigate Emily Dickinson’s pursuit for autonomy and individuality through the metamorphosis of stone baptism in petrifaction. Dickinson’s seclusion like stone is considered not as a passive protest against convention and confinement, but as an active declaration for distinction in playfulness. The discussion of her petrifaction imagery in Dickinson’s literary works can be divided into six parts. In the introductory chapter, Dickinson’s stone images as her daring adventure into a solitary confrontation with herself are examined with the acknowledgements of previous scholars. Following are the four chapters on the petrifaction phenomena in Dickinson’s works. In the first chapter, the poet’s identification with the little pebble in nature is considered as a process of petrifaction for her self-quest of intellectual sovereignty as well as an articulation of the poetic transcendence over secular evaluation. The second chapter will scrutinize Dickinson’s petrifaction as a justification of her anticipation for artistic excellence and intellectual immortality through the monumentalization in the gravestone imagery. In chapter three, the metamorphosis through jewelry imagery indicates the possible resurrection that the changing nature has practiced for ages and the prefiguration for future elevation in the purification of petrifaction. In the fourth chapter, the playfulness in the stone image of death is explained as the grand experience of encountering the infinite other and an exploration of the self in satiety and contentment. In the concluding chapter, Dickinson’s pilgrimage for self-fulfillment and artistic individuality are reaffirmed again to propose a potential through the power of words in petrifaction process, for eternal grace not in heaven, but on earth.

As the technique progress of chemical synthesis, all kinds of compounds bas never seen before were created, used, and released to environment. Traditionally, the limitation of industrial effluent is chemical-specific control. It may overpass the new developed toxicants and the combined effect of toxicants. Since the whole effluent toxicity (WET) method promulgated by USEPA (October 26, 1995) the concern of biotoxicity used in aquatic environment protection and become the world tendency. In December 2010, the Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration announced the acute toxicity (TUa < 1.43) of photoelectric effluent and will implement in January, 2012. The petro-chemical industries are estimated to be control under the acute toxicity criteria in the near future. This study is a case study of a large Petrifaction Industry park located in the south-western estuary of Taiwan. During the reserch, we follow the guidance of Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) developed by USEPA, investigate the discharges and evaluated the main toxicants of this industry. There are 9 wastewater treatment plants in the park. The effluents of these treatment plants are non toxic or slight toxic in Microtox toxicity besides the G08 plant. the G08 wastewater treatment plant are slight toxic because the high concentration of salt, however, the Microtox test using the marine bacterium, Vibrio fisheri, could have more resistance to salts. This testing may under estimate the toxic level by using the Microtox, therefore, using the other organism as the biomonitering of the effluent is another important issue.

Abstract:

Abstract Over the thirty years during which Hooke discoursed on “Earthquakes,” he never wavered from his fundamental concepts on (1) the origin of fossils, (2) petrifaction, (3) evolution, (4) the shape of the Earth, (5) polar wandering. (6) universal gravitation, (7) cyclicity of many terrestrial processes and (8) that subtcrrancous eruptions and earthquakes cause changes to the terrestrial surface and the exchange of land and sea areas. What crept into his later discourses was a need to bring God into his picture of the system of the Earth-not to show the presence of God’s hand in all phenomena hut to show that natural causes, and natural explanations, do not gainsay God. From the start he questioned the validity of the narration in Genesis and asserted that Noah’s flood was nothing special, not because he was a disbeliever hut because he distrusted the truthfulness and accuracy of the biblical account, which, after all, he reasoned, was written by men about things that happened before the invention of writing. Still, God and the Bible entered into his lectures as the general political and religious climate of England became more steeped in ecclesiastical doctrines around the time of the ascension to the throne by William III of Orange and hi wife Mary II in 1689.
