Co-resistance of Antibiotics and Heavy metals in Bacterial Strains Isolated from Agriculture Farm and Soap Industry
Authors: Dilshad Rimsha , Batool Rida
Published: January 2023

In this study, a relationship between antibiotic and heavy metal resistance was estimated among culturable bacterial strains of agriculture farm and soap industry soil.A total of 27 bacterial strains were isolated and screened for their antibiotic and heavy metal resistance by supplementing LB agar medium with variable concentrations of respectivestress. On LB-agar medium, agriculture farm soil harboured more cultivable bacterial strains (17 bacterial strains) as compared to the soap industry soil (10 bacterial strains).Minimum inhibitory concentration of antibiotics for bacterial strains ranged from 20μg/ml to 000μg/ml while MIC of heavy metals had a range of 20μg/ml-2000μg/ml for Nickel, Copper, and Mercury whereas the minimum inhibitory concentration of lead and chromium was up to 10,000μg/ml and 250,000μg/ml respectively. A high rate of co-resistance forStreptomycin with Lead and copper and Ampicillin with lead was observed in 90% of industrial soil bacterial strains. In conclusion, multiple antibiotic resistance and antibioticheavymetal co-resistance in bacteria strains could be due to contamination of soil with any sort of heavy metals or the diversity of population inhabiting that particular site. Antibiotic resistance can also be attributed to the horizontal gene transfer in bacteria.
Radar evaluation of the efect of Salt Seeding on Warm Maritime Cumulus Clouds
Authors: Chatterjee R. N. , Ramachandra Murty A. S. , Krishna K. N. , Ramana Murty Bh. B.
Published: January 2023

The latent heat released due to massive salt seeding in the maritime atmosphere has been experimentally studied. From the experiments conducted during the summer monsoon of 1973, within 50 Km off the coast at Bombay, the effect of massive salt seeding on warm maritime cumulus clouds was investigated using radar observations.  The results showed increases in areal echo coverage, in vertical extent and also in echo intensity following the release of salt particles into the clouds. Since the data sample of the above study is very small, further experiments were undertaken in the same region during the summer monsoon of 1974.  In addition to the radar observations, in-cloud electrical and microphysical observations were made during these experiments. The results of the study are presented.

Water droplet fogs formed from Pyrotechnically Generated Condensation Nuclei
Authors: Hindman II Edward E.
Published: January 2023

A pyrotechnic formulation is described which, upon burning, produces 9 .6 x 10^12 g of sub- and super-micron condensation nuclei (mean diameter ~ 2 um).  The largest particles measured were 5 um diameter.  The particles are composed of KCI, NaCl and Li2CO3.  These particles deliquesce and form water droplet fog in stable, calm environments with relative humidities (RH)>75%.  Fogs formed at RH>90% are composed of sub- and super-micron droplets (mean diameter ~ 8 um). The largest droplets measured were 10 um diameter.  The droplet populations >5 um resemble those found in coastal fogs.

The extent to which metallic oxides may be active in ice nucleation processes is of considerable interest since metallic oxides are of common natural occurrence and are also produced during many combustion processes.......  The tests conducted indicate that in general the metallic oxides are not characterized by a high level of activity as freezing nuclei although a few do exhibit moderate activity.......
The Israeli Rainfall Enhancement Experiment A Physical Overview
Authors: Gagin A.
Published: January 2023

This paper will attempt to give a summaryof the findings obtained during the period in which the two Israeli (I and II) cloud seeding experiments were conducted.  It includes a synthesis of all the information obtained through extensive measurements of cloud and cloud system properties ranging from mesoscale characteristics of the cloud systems to the microphysical structure of the cloud elements that form these systems.     It is suggested that the positive effects on rainfall, under seeding, obtained in the course of these two experiments can be attributed to the following:     1.  The organized winter cloud systems responsible for most of the raim in Israel almost always form in the cold sector of the prevailimg low pressure systems. They consist of cumulus cloud elements which are typically continental in nature with a fairly high degree of colloidal stability.     2. The modal values of the cloud top temperature distributions on rain days are in the range of -15 to -22 C. Cloud temperatures are fairly uniformly distributed around 5 to 8 C.     3.  The nature of the cloud droplet spectra in these clouds is such that ice crystal formation and its subsequent growth by riming seems to be the major rainforming process rather than that of the collision-coalescence mechanism.     4.  On the average, the chain of events from initial ice crystal formation through graupel formation to the arrival of raindrops on the ground, can be described on a quantitative basis to suggest that seeding for "static" effects can increase the precipitation efficiency of the clouds in the range of top temperatures of -10 to -20 C and particularly in the range of -15 to -20 C.     Statistical analyses of the rainfall data taking into account physical measurements lend the Israeli experiments the strongest support, namely that of physical plausibility. They suggest that:     1.  The positive effects of seeding on all days can be stratified according to the daily mode of the cloud top temperature distributions to indicate a gradual and systematic increase of detectable seeding effects (and their statistical significance) in clouds converging from both ends of the cloud top temperature spectrum towards the most amenable range of clouds withbetween -15 to -21 C. Thus, confirming both our field studies and microphysical predictions.     2. The area of maximums eeding effect, at a distance of 35-50 km downwind from the line of seeding, which has consistently been found to exist, can be attributed to the known patterns of turbulent diffusion of the seeding material released at cloud base altitudes.     While far from being complete the above studies and analyses provide a fair basis for understanding and accepting the statistical results and thus also indicate which criteria should be used to transfer this knowledge.
Ice Nucleation Silver Iodide-Sodium Iodide: A Reevaluation
Authors: Blumenstein R. , Finnegan W. , Grant L.
Published: January 2023

New, preliminary, laboratory studies of the 2Agl.Nal ice nucleus are being conducted in the CSU Isothermal Cloud Chamber. Rates and mechanisms of ice nucleation are investigated using chemical kinetic methodology. Interrelationships between ice nuclei effectiveness, rates and mechanisms of nucleation, and chemical composition are studied. The use of chemical kinetics in the study of ice nucleation is described by DeMott, et al. (1983). The 2Agl.Nal hygroscopic aerosol nucleates the ice phase by a condensation freezing process. This process is sensitive to supersaturation with respect to water. When water supersaturation is increased to a still unknown but critical value, the rate of nucleation increases, the mechanism of nucleation changes, and the effectivity increases significantly. The results have utility in cloud modification.

Clear-air Seeding: Opportunities and Strategies
Authors: Detwiler A , Pratt R.
Published: January 2023

Clear-air seeding is the artificial creation or enhancement of cloud cover in clear air which is between saturation with respect to ice and saturation with respect to liquid water. Previous work has demonstrated that clear-air seeding is possible, and may be economically worthwhile through its effects on the radiation balance near the ground. Order-of-magnitude arguments, contrail observations and direct measurements are used to assess the frequency and horizontal extent of opportunities for clear-air seeding in the upper troposphere. Clear, ice-supersaturated air is a common occurrence in the mid-latitude upper troposphere at all times of year, typically appearing over 100 km-wide regions downstream of cyclonic or convective storm systems. The frequency of opportunities was also estimated for a particular application of clear-air seeding-cloud cover enhancement during winter nights to reduce space heating costs. Opportunities were studied for the middle and lower troposphere through a careful analysis of radiosonde humidity data, and for the upper troposphere through observalions of natural cirrus. Under suitable cloud cover and wind conditions, five to ten opportunities each season are estimated for locations in the northeastern United States, a frequency sufficient for economic advanlage based on a previous analysis. Two methods are discussed for seeding clear, ice-superssLurated air to create clouds. Seeding with ice crystals is studied using a numerical simulation of ice crystal cloud growth, which includes both ice physics and radiative transfer. Ice crystal seeding is most effective when the seeding rate is greatest and the moist layer seeded is deepest. Aircraft contrails generally utilize only a small fraction of the available water vapor in excess of ice saturation, before they settle out of the moist layer in which they were created. The development of clouds seeded with ice-nucleating aerosols, rather than ice crystals, depends greatly on the rate at which the seed material nucleates ice crystals. This type of seeding would produce a longer lasting, lower density cloud than would seeding with ice crystals.
Acoustic Seeding
Authors: Foster Michael P. , Pflaum John C.
Published: January 2023

The influence of acoustic energy on a cloud is examined using a numerical model. Results indicate that high-intensity sound applied for a few seconds leads to a shift in droplet spectra toward larger sizes, which, in some cases, leads to earlier development of precipitation.
Acidic Cloud Episodes in the Northern Colorado Rockies: Inadvertent Weather Modification?
Authors: Hindman Edward E , Meyer Maria C , Gedzelman Stanley D , Bandosz Teresa J
Published: January 2023

Acidic cloud episodes were detected in January 1998 and January 2000 at Storm Peak Laboratory (SPL) in the northern Colorado Rockies. The episodes were characterized by increased concentrations of small droplets and condensation nucleus concentrations and reduced liquid water contents, snowfall rates and sub-cloud relative humidities. The trajectories of the air parcels arriving at SPL before, during and after the episodes were studied. The parcels arriving during the episodes encountered the least precipitation during their journey to SPL, suggesting little cloud and precipitation scavenging of aerosol particles. Further, much of the difference in acidity can be explained by dilution of the cloud droplets. Thus, the episodes may be primarily a natural phenomenon.
A High-level Atmospheric Management Program Plan for the New Millennium
Authors: DeFelice T P
Published: January 2023

The recent renewed interest in the field of weather modification has led to the conception of the following high-level national program plan designed for implementation during the new millennium. It is conceived that any atmospheric management program plan, whether it is as laid out in this paper or otherwise, must pursue a comprehensive agenda of fundamental and applied research and development efforts directed toward the goal of optimizing the technologies used to manage atmospheric processes and conditions. The Atmospheric Management Program (AMP) described in this paper would contain tasks organized under five activities: Atmospheric Modification Monitor/ Analysis Prediction System Development, Glaciogenic and Non-Glaciogenic Seeding Technology Research/ Development, Applications Research/ Development, Atmospheric Modification Professional Development/ Public Outreach, and Program Management and Support.
Evaluation of Pilot Estimated Updrafts Using Aircraft Integrated Meteorological Measurement System (AIMMS) Measurements
Authors: Simelane Phondie S , Delene David , Ahlness Hans , Langerud Darin
Published: January 2023

Hygroscopic seeding operations usually acquire cloud base updraft (positive vertical wind) velocities from pilot estimates. Though useful, pilot estimates are subjective and hence potentially inconsistent from case to case and from one project to the next. The Aircraft-Integrated Meteorological Measurements System (AIMMS) provides an objective measurement of updrafts. The objective is to use AIMMS measurement to evaluate pilot estimates of updrafts encountered while flying under developing cumulus clouds.  The analysis compares the pilot estimated maximum updraft to statistical distribution parameters of 1 Hz AIMMS measurements. Specifically, the five minute distribution mean and 95th percentile values are compared to the range of maximum sustained updrafts that the pilot estimates. Six cases with mean updrafts in the range of 0.6 to 1.4 m s-1 (120 to 275 ft min-1) were obtained during the Polarimetric Cloud Analysis and Seeding Test 2012 (POLCAST-2012) field project.  Three cases show pilot estimates agreeing with the mean updraft AIMMS velocities; however, the pilot estimates are high for the remaining three cases. For five cases, the pilot estimates are below the 95th percentile range of AIMMS 1.0 Hz measurements. The POLCAST-2012 cases demonstrate the difficulty for pilots to discern the difference between a 1.0 m s-1 (200 ft min-1) and a 2.0 m s-1 (400 ft min-1) updraft.
The Impact of Glaciogenic Seeding on Snowfall from Shallow Orographic Clouds over the Medicine Bow Mountains in Wyoming
Authors: Pokharel Binod , Geerts Bart
Published: January 2023

The 2013 AgI Seeding Cloud Impact Investigation (ASCII-13) campaign was conducted over the Medicine Bow range in Wyoming to examine the impact of ground-based glaciogenic seeding on winter orographic clouds and precipitation. The campaign was supported by a network of ground-based instruments, included a microwave radiometer, two profiling Ka-band radars, rawinsonde launches, and a disdrometer. The University of Wyoming King Air with profiling Wyoming Cloud Radar (WCR) conducted eight successful flights in ASCII-13. WCR profiles from these flights are combined with those from seven other flights, which followed the same geographically-fixed pattern in 2008-09.A case study shows that a clear seeding signature is not apparent in individual WCR reflectivity transects downwind of the silver iodide (AgI) generators, and that natural trends in precipitation over short timescales can easily overwhelm any seeding impact. Therefore the ASCII experimental design included control regions, both upwind of the AgI generators and to the side of the estimated AgI nuclei plumes. Frequency-by-altitude displays show slightly higher reflectivity values during seeding near the ground, at least when compared to the control regions. The near-surface precipitation rate trend from the untreated to the treated period in the target region, compared to that in the control region, varies significantly from flight to flight, according to the WCR reflectivity data within the boundary layer. Most of this variation relates to non-homogenous natural trends across the mountain range, and/or to sample unrepresentativeness, esp. for the control region. While WCR reflectivity profiles from flights over the Medicine Bow range do not show a significant increase in near-surface precipitation during seeding (in comparison with upstream trends), similar data from nine separate flights in 2012 over an adjacent range, the Sierra Madre, do.

Published: January 2023

En este trabajo describimos la microanatomía e histología de varios huesos de un elasmosáurido juvenil de niveles del Maastrichtiano Superior de Isla Marambio (=Seymour), Antártica. Secciones finas fueron obtenidas a partir de la diáfisis de un propodio y de un fragmento de escápula. El análisis de la microanatomía fue realizado utilizando el software Bone Profiler© para medir la compactación del tejido óseo en dos propodios, una vértebra y fragmentos de escápula y pubis. Nuestros resultados muestran lo siguiente: (1) a nivel microanatómico, encontramos una alta densidad de matriz ósea en donde casi no habían espacios en la zona medular. Los valores del índice de compactación oscilaban entre 0,858-0,993 (valores de 0 a 1). Estos resultados sugieren un esqueleto denso parecido a un caso de osteosclerosis. (2) a nivel de la histología, no encontramos presencia de zonas de crecimiento ni anillos/LAGS en la zona cortical. En vez de eso, encontramos una corteza muy delgada compuesta por tejido primario entretejido altamente vascularizado con canales vasculares de disposición radial anastomosados, y una región medular compuesta por pocas trabéculas óseas, llena de de cartílago calcificado con cavidades de reabsorción y lagunas de Howship (=evidencia de actividad condroclástica). Estas características osteo-histológicas confirman la presencia de osteosclerosis (probablemente reflejando un modo de vida tipo-manatí/nadador pasivo) y sugiere fuertemente que este espécimen fue un juvenil de edad muy temprana al momento de morir.

Estado e infraestructura cultural: contradicciones, desafíos y agencia en la creación de una identidad país a través del museo nacional de historia natural (siglo XIX)
Authors: Garrido Francisco
Published: January 2023

Si bien es reconocido el rol identitario que tuvo para el Estado la creación de museos en el siglo XIX, este proceso no estuvo exento de desafíos y paradojas en cuanto al poco cuidado que la autoridad prestó a la infraestructura y desarrollo de dichos establecimientos. Conflictos por presupuesto, falta de suficiente espacio, además de múltiples problemas de mantenimiento, generaron dificultades en el quehacer del Museo Nacional en sus primeras décadas. Rodulfo Philippi frecuentemente apelaba al sentido patrio en su relación con la autoridad, estableciendo una relación instrumental que le permitiese llevar adelante el quehacer científico de la Institución. En tal sentido, la creación de imaginarios culturales nacionales responde a menudo al conjunto de intereses y la acción colectiva de individuos que sin planearlo contri­buyeron a producir nuestra identidad de estado-nación.
Similar feeding ecologies, different morphologies in Liolaemus pictus (Duméril & Bibron, 1837) (liolaemidae) from Chiloé archipelago, Chile

Published: January 2023

La insularidad promueve divergencia dietaria en vertebrados debido a cambios en los parámetros bióti­cos así como la competencia intraespecífica, depredación y la disponibilidad de recursos. Liolaemus pictus es una especie de lagartija del sur de Chile con poblaciones en territorio continental e insular. El objetivo de este trabajo es probar la correlación entre las preferencias dietarias y las diferencias mor­fológicas entre las poblaciones continentales e insulares en esta especie. Los resultados no mostraron diferencias en la composición de la dieta, pero la proporción del consumo de Coleoptera e Hymenop­tera es más alta en continente. La herbivoría está presente en ambas poblaciones y no hay relación entre la dieta y la morfología. La presencia de herbivoría podría estar relacionada con la reducida disponibi­lidad de presas, condición que podría estar presente en islas y en ambientes de altura.

Published: January 2023

Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has strongly impacted human life and brought various challenges and difficulties for learning and teaching all over the world. The massive development of information technology has brought solutions to deal with this new phase. Teachers implement online assessments to support learning and teaching English. There are previous studies about the effect of E-learning, but research about online tools such as Liveworksheets or Google Forms were rarely conducted, especially in Vinh Long province. Therefore, during the academic year 2021-2022, the researchers started a study on 120 students who used Liveworksheets and Google Forms as their assessment in class and even their homework during their Basic English course. After using these tools, students completed a survey that reflected their job with those online tools during their semesters. An online questionnaire was used in this study to collect data from 120 students in a university in the Mekong Delta. The current study is designed as descriptive research. In addition, both quantitative and qualitative research methods are used. The results show positive impacts on learner autonomy and learners' listening skills by using Liveworksheets rather than Google Forms. Besides, the study illustrates students' responses that gave both advantages and disadvantages of those tools. These results may be helpful for both lecturers and students to promote themselves in teaching and learning English.

Insect Resistance In Field Crops
Authors: Padmavathy Ch  , P G Padmaja
Published: January 2023

Insect resistant crop plants form the core component of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) due to their ability to reduce the crop losses and associated insecticide costs in addition to protecting the environment. In this review, various types of resistance being cited, resistance mechanisms and causal factors responsible with examples were discussed. Traits associated with resistance, genetics and inheritance patterns were listed. Several sources of resistance including crop varieties, wild relatives, QTLs identified and mapped for major insect pests so far were elaborated along with steps in the development of a resistant variety. Advantages and limitations of insect resistance were also discussed with emphasis on the development of insect biotypes. Novel strategies in molecular approaches like marker assisted selection, gene pyramiding, RNAi approach along with genome editing strategies were emphasized. The development of insect resistant crops is a sustainable way to manage pests and hence emphasis need to be given to breed trait specific insect resistant cultivars utilizing the novel approaches in the future breeding programs.
Diapause in Chilo partellus: A Research Journey
Authors: Dhillon Mukesh K
Published: January 2023

Spotted stem borer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) is one of the most widely distributed pests of coarse cereals, causing 18 to 25% yield losses in Asia and Africa. The larvae of C. partellus pass through hibernation under North Indian and aestivation under South Indian conditions. Although diapause helps C. partellus in adapting under unfavorable conditions, there is 17.2 to 28.3% and 7.0 to 33.7% population sacrifice during hibernation and aestivation, respectively. The population heterogeneity in C. partellus could be due to hibernation or aestivation, wherein the models, Ikemoto & Takai (linear), and Lactin-1 and Lactin-2 (non-linear) are efficient for describing temperature dependent development and estimating the temperature thresholds of diapausing larvae. This helps in predicting the occurrence, seasonal emergence, number of generations and population dynamics of the pest. Diapause results in differential regulation of hormonal and biochemical profiles, impose deleterious effects on the post-diapause development, reproductive physiology and population growth of C. partellus. The diapause, developmental and morphometric traits in C. partellus are governed by overdominance gene effects which mainly depend on parental diapause history. Four different biotypes of C. partellus viz., Hisar, Hyderabad, Parbhani and Coimbatore exist in India, suggesting that sorghum and maize genotypes need to be tested against these four populations to identify stable sources of resistance. The whole genome sequencing will be useful for understanding mode of action of different insecticides, mechanisms of detoxification and designing target-specific insecticides to develop appropriate strategies to manage C. partellus for sustainable crop production. The temporal distribution of mating systems among adults of diapause, non-diapause and/or ecologically diverse populations, and their behavioral and physiological consequences under a given demographic framework could be rewarding, and aid in to devising appropriate mating disruption techniques to suppress C. partellus population.

Günlük hayatta ve çalışma koşullarında elle nesne kaldırma eylemi yaygın olarak uygulanmaktadır. Elle nesne kaldırma eylemi insan vücut eklemlerinde çeşitli yüklenmeler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmalara göre özellikle bel bölgesi kaldırma hareketinden en çok etkilenen bölgedir ve kaldırma hareketi sırasında bel bölgesindeki omurlar incelendiğinde, moment kolunun en yüksek olduğu L5/S1 eklemindeki yüklenme en yüksektir. Elle nesne kaldırma hareketinde L5/S1 eklemine etkisinin incelendiği araştırmalarda, kaldırma hareketi nesnenin iki yanındaki nesne tabanından belirli yükseklikteki tutamaçlardan tutularak gerçekleştirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada katılımcılar elle kaldırma hareketini önceki çalışmalardan farklı olarak kutuların altından kavrayarak gerçekleştirmişlerdir. Deneylerde katılımcıların 16 kg kütleli ve 3 farklı ebattaki kutuların 2 farklı kaldırma tekniği olan çömelerek ve eğilerek kaldırma hareketi sırasında L5/S1 ekleminde oluşan yüklerin değerlendirilmesi yapılmıştır. Kaldırma hareketleri Microsoft Kinect v2 kamerayla kaydedilmiştir. Kutuların elle kaldırma hareketinin L5/S1 eklemine etkisini incelemek amacıyla OpenSim biyomekanik model yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Kullanılan biyomekanik modele aktarılan insan vücut eklemleri konum verilerinin ters kinematik analiziyle eklem açıları, ters dinamik analiziyle ise eklem torkları elde edilmiştir. Daha sonra eklem reaksiyon analizi yapılarak L5/S1 eklemine binen yükler değerlendirilmiştir.

Authors: Yusuf Muhammad Fadhali
Published: January 2023

Sistem Post-Merger Notification yang diterapkan di Indonesia saat ini tentu masih  menimbulkan Kontroversi maupun perdebatan dikalangan praktisi maupun Akademisi, mengingat sistem ini mewajinkan Notifikasi atas transaksi Merger baru dapat dilakukan setelah Merger terlaksana. Apabila dibandingkan dengan Negara lain, terdapat perbedaan yang tentu mempengaruhi penerapan Hukum Persaingan Usaha, yang mana di Negara-negara lain telah menerapkan sistem Pre-Merger Notification. Penulis dalam penelitian ini mencoba mengkaji kekosongan hukum yang ada di sistem Post-Merger Notification dan merumuskan upaya penyempurnaan sistem Post-Merger ini. Metode Penelitian yang digunakan adalah Yuridis Normatif, dengan Pendekatan Konseptual (conceptual approach) dan Pendekаtаn Perundаng-undаngаn (stаtue аpproаch).

Authors: Yanuar Muh. Afdal
Published: January 2023

Melalui tulisan ini, penulis akan menguraikan perihal probabilitas praktik Predatory Pricing dengan menggunakan hasil tindak pidana sebagai modal usaha di Indonesia, dan sanksi yang seharusnya dijatuhkan pada perkara semacam itu. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh karena adanya potensi bagi pelaku usaha melakukan praktik predatory pricing dikarenakan mereka memiliki tambahan kekuatan modal yang bersumber dari tindak pidana, yang mana hal tersebut pernah terjadi di Pennsylvenia pada kasus ‘Pizza Connection Case’. Tipe penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian normatif dengan pendekatan konseptual, peraturan perundang-undangan, dan perbandingan. Melalui tulisan ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa: (a) Dalam skema penggunaan hasil kejahatan di sektor bisnis, penggunaan hasil kejahatan sebagai modal perusahaan, dapat memunculkan probabilitas terjadinya predatory pricing di sektor bisnis, yang menyebabkan pesaingnya gulung tikar, sebagaimana pada perkara ‘pizza connection cases’ di Pennsylvenia; dan (b) Dalam hal terjadi praktik predatory pricing dengan menggunakan hasil tindak pidana sebagai modal usaha, terhadap pelaku usaha dapat dikenakan dengan tindak pidana pencucian uang, tindak pidana persaingan usaha, dan tindak pidana asal. Adapun terhadap Perusahaannya sendiri, memungkinkan untuk dikenakan tindak pidana pencucian uang oleh korporasi.

Museuming: the things museums need to do
Authors: Cronin Monica
Published: January 2023

Even after many years of working in museums, I still get that same sense of awe and fascination when I visit one. I have a particular fondness for the rambling cabinets of curiosities that museum used to be – so much taxidermy, and so full of arsenical dangers – but I also have an understanding they are really a relic of the past. Museums have a new role in contemporary society but should still aim to inspire that same kind of awe and fascination.
