Modern British Sculpture Catalogue

From Leighton to Lucas this fascinating book explores sculpture in Britain from the end of the Victorian era to the dawn of the new millennium. With incisive essays, and previously unpublished archive material, this compelling book documents the seismic shifts in sculpture in the last century. Edited by Penelope Curtis (former Curator of the Henry Moore Institute, now Director of the Tate Britain) and Keith Wilson (Sculptor, tutor at the Royal College of Art and Reader in Fine Art at University of Westminster).

A new fossil Adamussium (Bivalvia: Pectinidae) from Antarctica

Adamussium Jonkersi sp nov is described from the Late Oligocene Destruction Bay Formation Wrona Buttress area King George Island (South Shetlands) West Antarctica The unit characterized by volcanic sandstone is a shallow marine( succession deposited in a moderate- to high-energy environment The thin shelled pectinids collected from the lower part of the unit are preserved mostly as complete valves Shell thickness sculpture pattern and umbonal angle suggest a free-living inactive swimming life habit

Effect of different surface treatments on the repair bond strength of indirect composites

Purpose: To evaluate the tensile bond strength of indirect composites repaired with different surface treatments and direct composites. Methods: 180 specimens were prepared with Targis, belleGlass HP and Sculpture indirect composites, light-activated and post-cured according to the manufacturers` recommendations. The specimens were stored in distilled water for 24 hours at 37 degrees C. The bonding surfaces were prepared with air abrasion, hydrofluoric acid or hydrofluoric acid followed by a neutralizing solution. All the treated surfaces were subject to the application of a silane and a bonding agent before the repair procedures with Tetric Ceram and Tetric Flow for the Targis specimens, Herculite XRV and Revolution for the belleGlass HP specimens and Sculp-It and Flow-It for Sculpture specimens. The tensile bond strength tests were carried out using a universal testing machine at cross-head speed of 0.5 mm/minute. The type of fracture was observed under a light microscope at x40 magnification. Data were analyzed by a two-way ANOVA and Tukey`s post-hoc tests (P<0.05). Results: Targis showed a statistically higher repair bond strength than belleGlass HP and Sculpture, which were not significantly different from each other. Air abrasion increased the repair bond strength of belleGlass HP and Sculpture. For Targis, all the surface treatments resulted in similar repair bond strength. The different viscosity of repair composites did not affect the repair of indirect composites. Fractured surfaces showed mostly adhesive failures, mainly with hydrofluoric acid treatment.

Mulheres em morte-cor: os objetos que fazem e desfazem corpos e cancros metastáticos

Este texto sintetiza o último capítulo da investigação de doutoramento – Objetos feitos de cancro: a cultura material como pedaço de doença em histórias de mulheres contadas pela arte. Através de uma reflexão em torno dos objetos e materialidades que ganham forma e relevo em projetos artísticos referentes à experiência feminina do cancro, esta tese propõe conceitos alternativos de cultura material e de doença oncológica. Rejeita-se uma separação ou diferenciação entre dimensões materiais e intangíveis na doença, entendendo-se os objetos de cultura material como pedaços de cancro, ou seja, enquanto partes constitutivas das ideias, sensações, emoções e gestos que fazem a experiência do corpo doente. Objetos hospitalares, domésticos e pessoais, de uso coletivo ou individual, onde se incluem materialidades descartáveis, vestuário, mobiliário, equipamento e máquinas, compõem uma lista de realidades que se encastram nas experiências do corpo em diagnóstico, internamento, tratamento, reconstrução, remissão, recorrência, metastização e morte. Dando nome a esta continuidade indivisa, propus os conceitos “objeto nosoencastrável” e “doença modular”, pretendendo, na forma como defino as coisas, os mesmos encaixes que existem na realidade vivida. Para compreender a ação, os usos e os sentidos dos objetos que fazem e são pedaços de cancro(s), o campo de trabalho desta investigação abrangeu as imagens e os textos explicativos de cento e cinquenta projetos artísticos produzidos por ou com mulheres que viveram a experiência desta doença. Expostos na Internet, os exercícios criativos, amadores ou profissionais, de fotografia comercial e artística, pintura, desenho, colagem, modelagem, escultura, costura e tricô serviram de terreno narrativo e visual, permitindo-me encontrar a versão émica dos encaixes entre cultura material e doença. Tocar a continuidade entre objetos e cancros, juntando os saberes do corpo, da arte e da antropologia, assentou numa abordagem teórica e metodológica onde ensaiei o potencial heurístico daquilo a que chamo a “terceira metade das coisas e do conhecimento”.

Notes on the Cretaceous invertebrate faunas of Portugal I: a new species of Anadromus (Mollusca, Gastropoda) from the Campanian-Maastrichtian of Taveiro (Coimbra, West central Portugal)

A new species of terrestrial gastropod - Anadromus penai sp. nov. (Fam. Anadromidae) - is described from a set of composite moulds collected in reddish silts and clays of Campanian-Maastrichtian age, found in the lower pan of the Taveiro Formation (Taveiro, Coimbra, West Central Portugal). The known occurrences of this new species are restricted to the type locality. The main differences from other contemporaneous Anadromidae are the profuse spiral sculpture of the body-whorl, with 20-22 sub-equal, close, and regular ribs.
