有关新出的粟特文资料——新手书记写给父亲的一封信:兼介绍日本西严寺橘资料

引言 笔者从1980年代之后,一直从事介绍与研究新疆维吾尔自治区以及中原地区近几十年所发现的粟特文资料的工作.在其过程中,我曾解读了阿斯塔那出土的女奴隶买卖契约文书(公元639年)、柏孜克里克出土的摩尼教粟特文书札三件(11世纪初)、佛教粟特文断片、以及由粟特文字转写的摩尼教帕提亚文赞歌.此外,向学术界介绍了昭苏县石人上所刻的碑文、①库车地区库木吐拉、克孜尔石窟寺院墙壁上杂写的粟特文.2003年,西安史君墓里出土了一块双语墓志,在北京大学荣新江教授的帮助下,挖掘后不久,笔者有幸得到其照片,并能够解读其内容.不久前,笔者解读了吐鲁番盆地巴达木出土的盖有汉字官印的粟特文书札(662年)断片,发现该书札是有关突厥葛罗禄的报告书.此后中国学者指出,该文书与推测于同一地方发现的汉文文书在内容上有重

Moisture content measurement and surface water absorption test in the inner gallery of Bayon for the conservation of the bas-relief

The bas-relief carved on the sandstone wall in the central part of the inner gallery of Bayon in the Angkor monuments, Cambodia, has been severely damaged mainly due to calcite crystallization. In order to confirm the mechanism of salt weathering and help determine conservation measures for the bas-relief, measurements of the annual change in the moisture content in the bas-relief were conducted. We found that water supplied from the platform behind the bas-relief is the cause of calcite crystallization. It is therefore indispensable for the conservation of the bas-relief to prevent the water permeating from the inside of the platform behind it. As precipitated calcite from the water block pores near the surface of the sandstone, the surface water absorption test is a useful method to evaluate the degree of the salt weathering.     

Physical and mechanical properties of waterlogged wood treated with hydrolyzed feather keratin

The physical and mechanical properties of waterlogged wood treated using avian feather were investigated. Avian feather is mainly composed of keratin protein and expectable materials for industrial utilization. The feather hydrolysate enhanced the mechanical properties of waterlogged wood and recovered the correlations between modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) and anisotropy. The color of the wood treated with hydrolyzed feather solution exhibited natural wood texture. The feather hydrolysate had antimicrobial activity. However, the wood treated with hydrolyzed feather solution showed high hygroscopicity.
