Management prospects through development of non-timber forest products
Authors: Gusmailina  , Saputra N A , Sumadiwangsa S 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Pressure on the area and the function of forests have been increasingly massive in the industrial age. Timber products and their derivatives, which are limited by harvest periods, become increasingly limited and cause a decline in forest value. Non-timber forest products, known as non-timber forest products (NTFPs), are of concern to stakeholders in the forestry sector. However, the broad type of NTFPs and special characteristics pose challenges in managing NTFPs. This paper summarizes the types of NTFPs based on several references and presents alternatives in the management of NTFPs. The dominant facts in NTFPs management are pressure on the area and function of forest, global economic trend, environmental aspect, the livelihood of people around the forest, and institutional aspects. Thus, the shift in the paradigm of forest management (extensification to intensification, partial to holistic), optimization of forest benefits, collaborative management, preparation of a grand design of forest, and network management are expected to become alternative management of NTFPs in the near future.
Application of different methodologies for artwork risk assessment and reduction: simulation of a museum room with a validated dynamic model
Authors: Schito E 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Temperature and relative humidity are two parameters that can hugely hamper artwork preservation, leading to different types of degradation. In scientific literature and regulatory guidelines, two methodologies are used to assess suitable conditions for artifacts and potential risks. These two methods are generally alternatively applied, missing a comprehensive evaluation of indoor suitability of artwork preservation. The concurrent application of both approaches can help in the choice of the best strategy or design of HVAC systems to improve microclimate to artwork preservation. In this work, a validated dynamic model of a room in an Italian museum is presented as a case study. The analysis of indoor temperature and relative humidity profiles for a typical winter and summer period shows the importance of the application of both methodologies to identify potential risks for artworks. Thus, for both periods, new strategies improving indoor microclimate and leading to a most suitable environment for artwork are tested and successfully identified.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Various imaging techniques are used to visualise issues regarding a painting’s appearance before, during and after conservation treatments, i.e. visible light photography (VIS) raking light photography (RAK), ultraviolet fluorescence photography (UVF) and reflectance transformation imaging (RTI). However, these techniques cannot always visualise and/or quantify conservation issues. This paper presents a new approach: colour, gloss, topography imaging (CGT). CGT’s applicability as a non-invasive tool for evaluating and documenting conservation treatments in comparison to VIS, UVF, RAK and RTI is discussed. Applying this to case studies with different conservation dilemmas illustrates the technique’s potential and drawbacks. CGT can visualise issues such as gloss variations, resulting from (previous) cleaning tests, (partial) varnish removal, and possibly dirt and material degradation. Furthermore, CGT can elucidate topographical issues such as bulging, and losses, and also visualise high-frequency surface variations (e.g. canvas weave and crack pattern). This results in an improvement of documenting a painting’s condition, and the evaluation of treatments and their effects on the visual appearance may be quantified. In conclusion, this research shows that CGT is able to better visualise texture, gloss and colour information than existing techniques like technical photography, facilitating a more precise documentation and localisation of previous and current conservation treatments.
Magnetostrictive Materials and Energy Harvesting for Structural Health Monitoring Applications
Authors: Stefano Clemente Carmine , Davino Daniele , Paolo Loschiavo Vincenzo 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Wireless sensors to monitor the state of the health of a civil structure could be widely adopted as a prompt and automatic solution to safeguard the cultural heritage and to guarantee safety. Nowadays, sensors are supplied by the electric grid or batteries, but in both cases some issues can occur. Batteries need to be recharged or replaced, thus increasing the operating cost of maintenance. The Energy Harvesting concerns with those actions focused on the exploitation of low-power, but widespread available, ambient energy sources, which otherwise would be normally wasted. In particular, the harvesting of vibrational kinetic energy could be a valid solution to the abovementioned problems, because of its large presence due to the anthropic activities and because it may overcome the strict rules to which historical sites often have to obey. Here a kinetic energy harvesting device based on magnetostrictives rods is presented. Its behavior is experimentally verified and discussed.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
In order to prevent seismic damage on building heritage built before Seismic Standards, constructions require to be assess to verify the structural response in the case of multi-level intensity seismic actions. This problem especially concerns those buildings with a social function as schools, hospitals, etc., or with historical and architectural value as that designed by important builders of the past.
This is the case of the bar-restaurant building of “Bellariva” Sport Centre, designed and built in Florence by the World-famous Italian engineer Pier Luigi Nervi in the Sixty years. Its structure is characterized by reinforced concrete frames and hosts the locker rooms of the swimming pool and a bar on the first floor, a restaurant on the second, where a long crack was observed. The presence of a large balcony with heavy perimeter planters near the cracked zone motivated the execution of on-site tests finalized to determine the steel bars connecting the restaurant floor to the balcony. A Ground Penetrating Radar survey was performed in order to determine the internal structure of the floor, dimensions and disposition of steel bars, and to gather information about the connections between perimeter beams and balcony at the level of the restaurant. The experimental campaign allowed to refine a computational Finite Element Model that was utilized for the performance analysis of the structure in the current state. The paper presents the main results of a preliminary seismic analysis carried out on the structure, on the basis of which some retrofit intervention are suggested.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Intuitive and sensitive interaction between robots and humans in the near future will be an integral part of our everyday life environment, to shape new ways of use and make art accessible to a wider audience. Users interact with robotic systems creating new forms of dialogue based on artificial emotions that provide constant feedback to the user through significant gestures and movements. Constantly potential of robotic technologies and additive manufacturing techniques are changing the fruition of cultural heritage through the use of innovative systems that actively involve the viewer in the educational and cognitive experience with strong sensory perceptions, in sensitive environments and interactive spaces. Through additive manufacturing, process and project procedures and paradigms change completely, proposing new design methods which differ from conventional ones. Additive technologies offer new design flexibility compared to traditional production processes, higher production speed, versatility, high precision to ensure adaptive design in functionality and features and cost optimization. The paper addresses, through illustrative case studies, new scenarios of robotic design and additive production techniques at the service of cultural heritage, identifying strengths and weaknesses to outline new design opportunities.
Automatic Emotion Recognition for Cultural Heritage
Authors: Baecchi Claudio , Ferracani Andrea , Alberto Del Bimbo 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
In this work we present an automatic emotion recognition system for the re-use of multimedia content and storytelling for cultural heritage. A huge amount of heterogeneous multimedia data on cultural heritage is available in online and offline databases that can be used and adapted to produce new content. In the real world, human video editors may want to select the video sequences composing the final video with the intention to induce an emotional reaction in the viewer (e.g. happiness, excitement, sadness). Usually they try to achieve this result following their personal judgement. However, this task of video selection could benefit a lot from the exploitation of an automatic sentiment classification system. Our system can help the editor in choosing the video sequences that best fit the desired emotion to be induced. First-of-all the system splits the video in scenes. Then it classifies them using a multimodal classifier which combines temporal features extracted form LSTM, sentiment-related features obtained through a DNN, audio features and motion-related features. The system learns which features are more important and exploits them to classify the scenes in terms of valence and arousal which are well known to correlate with induced emotions. Finally it provides an online video composer which allows the editor to search, filter and compose the scenes in a new video using sentiment information. To train the classifier we also collected and annotated a small dataset of both users recorded videos and professional ones downloaded from the web.
Digital craftsmanship for education and diffusion of scientific culture: the model of herringbone masonry in a circular dome
Authors: Charalambous A , Di Iacovo G , Loccarini F , Ranocchiai G 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
In this paper the experience is reported of the use of 3D printing for the dissemination of a cultural content. When Filippo Brunelleschi vaulted the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence without using any scaffolding, demonstrated the ability to control the constructive process in its structural essence. The comprehension of the static principles that stand at the base of the equilibrium of a circular dome are necessary to understand the work of the architect and the reason of the herringbone brickwork adopted. These principles can be easily explained, also to people who do not have any technical education, by means of a three dimensional model. A wood model realized by hand in the ’80 was reproduced in a smaller scale with 3D printing. The geometry of the model was easily reproduced with a parametric modelling software and was then elaborated to produce the geometric models for sintering polyamide voussoirs. A comparison is attempted between the cost of the two physical models in term of work time and print time, and a balance is made to highlight the value added to the production of such didactical models by the 3D printing process.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
This research provides an integrated methodological approach based on the combined use of spatial syntax modelling and eyetracker analysis techniques for lighting sustainability aimed to adaptive reuse of all the spaces with high historical, architectural, philological value of Cultural Heritage (CH). MosLESS (Modelling Sustainable Lighting with Eyetracker and Spatial Syntax techniques) is the proposed method, that can suggest fundamental guidelines for dynamic and static lighting in the museographic and museological areas, but also for reuse, conservation and enhancement of historical and CH buildings integrated with efficient energy management and conservation and protection needs. The National Museum of San Matteo in Pisa (Italy) was the pilot project. Particular environments were chosen for the experimental measurement campaigns carried out to assess dynamic and static visual fields, vision and perception. Methodological approach and results can be useful tools for exhibition planning with important energy, social and cultural effects. A further objective of the research will be to facilitate cultural exchanges, communication and new procedures for the digital management of the transmission or modification of museographic and exhibition projects, up to relations with public clients, as well as integrated management of information and decision-making processes.
A HGIS for the study of waterways: the case of Bologna as ancient city of waters
Authors: Gatta G , Bitelli G 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Historical cartography, as a fundamental part of Cultural Heritage, constitutes a precious asset, not only to be safeguarded, but also to be used to study the evolution of the territory over time. In this perspective, regeneration of ancient cartography in digital represents an interesting way to allow new chances of using its historic and geographic information, by modalities that cannot apply to analogue supports. In particular, the creation of HGIS (Historical Geographic Information System) is a way to integrate historical cartography with historical data of various kinds and compare them with the current reality, thus constituting an aid instrument for the study of the historical landscape. The present study investigates the possibility of studying the city of Bologna, in particular its ancient waterways, using some 18th and 19th century maps – georeferenced on the current cartography – together with other archive data (drawings and news taken from an ancient gazette). All these data have been merged in one GIS, this way offering a new look at the ancient city of waters, characterized by a grandiose hydraulic system, with the Savena and the Reno artificial channels and the Aposa natural channel, several silk mills, sewer systems, water wheels and a port.
In-situ checking various mechanical parameters of original nail connections between crossbeams and wooden support, in the framework of an innovative method for rationally dimensioning the crossbeams of panel paintings, applied on an original artwork

Abstract
A collaboration aiming to improve knowledge and procedures for conservation of Panel Paintings has been in force since several years between OPD (Opificio delle Pietre Dure, Florence) and the Research Group on Wood Technology of DAGRI (University of Florence). In such framework a research is here presented, which for the first time has led to dimensioning rationally (i.e. by means of objective criteria based on Conservation, on Engineering and on Wood Science principles) the stiffness of the crossbeams of an original Panel Painting. Crossbeams typically have a double function: a) to control the deformation of the panel painting when it undergoes climate changes and b) to stiffen the panel painting for handling purposes. If too stiff or too yielding, crossbeams might damage the wooden support or the paint layers; until today the choice of their stiffness was entrusted to the expert but subjective judgment of the Restorers alone, who therefore have been calling for a confrontation with Wood and Engineering Scientists in order to develop more objective criteria. To satisfy this request the research here mentioned has been carried out, in close collaboration between the Restorers of OPD and the Wood Scientists of DAGRI, to develop a specific protocol allowing for the rational dimensioning of the stiffness of crossbeams. This protocol is based on an engineering modular approach, and for the first time it has been applied on an original artwork, the Adorazione del bambino e committente attributed to Cesare da Sesto (1514-1520). One of the modules of such protocol is to assess the stiffness of both the crossbeams and the wooden support and, in such framework, this paper presents the non-invasive mechanical tests that were designed and implemented to check in-situ various mechanical parameters (including the axial holding capacity) of the original nail connections between the crossbeams and the wooden support. Such knowledge might in general be helpful especially during the diagnostic phase, to understand the internal forces still acting into the wood structure, and possibly their influences on the degradation of the paint layers in relation to the behaviour of the wooden support.

Geomatic measurement of “New Aniene” and “Claudia” roman aqueducts for flows estimation
Authors: Baiocchi V , Alimonti C , Bonanotte G , Molnar G 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The aqueducts are the most impressive and original building of the ancient Rome. The aqueducts moved water only by gravity, being constructed with a slight downward slope, within conduits of stone, brick or concrete. All along valleys or plains, the conduit was supported by buildings with arches, or its contents were placed to pressure in lead, ceramic or stone pipes. The aim of this work is to study and determine the slope and so to evaluate the actual flows, considering also that the area is interested by crustal movements. To evaluate it a geomatic survey of a part of the New Aniene and Claudia roman aqueducts was realised. The measured average slopes have values close to the value of 2 %« described in ancient texts that report the details of the realization of the Roman works. From the slopes through a hydraulic model the flow rate has been calculated. The general lowering of the study area was also highlighted through the comparison of reconstructed lines slope and those realized in 1917, approximately equal to 0.45 m.

Abstract
We describe a project, fully formalized, to create a “Service Center” for ancient books and manuscripts, in the “Biblioteca dei Girolamini” Library of Girolamini in Naples, Italy. This unique library hosts about 180.000 pieces, 500 of which are medieval manuscripts, 120 incunabulum, 5.000 editions of the 16th century – among others, as well as an ancient Musical Archive. The library is located in the heart of Naples, in a magnificent place where a series of initiative are already taking place, as a collaboration between the University of Naples Federico II and the Ministry of Cultural Heritage. All these features make Library of Girolamini a rare case study in the field of ancient books. The project aims at a complete digitization of the books; however, the important part of the project is the creation of full sets of metadata with a complete history of the documents and of the studies about the document itself. The first books to be considered will be a set of 512 manuscripts of the XIII century, e.g. a fully illustrated Divina Commedia or Seneca’s tragedies with miniature paintings. There will be two main streams of work: a conservation and study of ancient books through the digitization in a proper file format namely the FITS Flexible Image Transport System; b grant the access to this information in the Big Data era using such technologies as Internet of Things and Machine Lerning in order to identify the ancient book and categorize it. This project will also allow to many young students to put in practice the studies within the “Scuola di Alta Formazione in Storia e Filologia del manoscritto e del libro antico”, formally started in the year 2018. The access to information will allow, for example, the extraction and classification of figures, and the automatic recognition of the device used pc, tablet, smartphone and its resolution.
Digital Preservation (challenges, preparedness and reaction)

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The STORM (H2020 700191), experience give us evidence on how it is important to address risks coming from natural hazards with the proper preparedness. Anyhow the project left one face of the picture uncovered. The aim of this paper is to stimulate further discussions related to digitised documentation and digital cultural assets safety either if they are digital born or reproduction of real ones. In 2003, UNESCO released the “Charter on the Preservation of Digital Heritage”[1], which defines digital heritage as “made up of computer-based materials of enduring value that should be kept for future generations (UNESCO 2003)”. Digital heritage emanates from different communities, industries, sectors and regions. Not all digital material is of enduring value, but a paramount volume of digital objects, especially the digital documentation related to cultural heritage, require active preservation approaches regardless the technology evolution. . It should be a priority to preserve that digital patrimony as well as to preserve the physical one. For this reason we aggregate the two view points in the “Digital heritage”. The challenge is represented by the preservation from one side of the digital born objects (including all the cultural heritage documentation), from the other objects coming from the conversion of existing/disappeared ones, must be protected and preserved. We are facing day by day a wider scenario where gallery, library, archive, and museum (GLAM)[2] dependence from digital content preservation is growing so the need for a lifecycle management of digital materials is necessary to ensure their continuity.
