Component Analysis Model of Glass Relics Based on Logistic Regression and Fisher Linear Discrimination

In recent years, with the attention paid by various countries to the exploitation and protection of cultural relics and the continuous development of industrialization, people have gradually realized the necessity of analyzing the weathering of ancient glass relics. In this paper, the physical characteristics, chemical composition and content of sample cultural relics are analyzed and their types are identified by using multiple algorithms such as Logistic regression model, Fisher linear discrimination, Fisher’s exact test, etc. The study of this issue can provide guiding suggestions for the analysis and classification of ancient cultural materials, and help archaeologists carry out a series of work such as cultural relics protection. The results show that the "type" factor has the greatest relationship with weathering, followed by "color" and "decoration". The regression equation between the sample and weathering chemical composition is established, and it is concluded that "type" and "SnO2" have a large negative correlation with weathering, "MgO" and "SO2" have a large positive correlation, and other variables have a weak correlation. Finally, Fisher linear discriminant method is used to identify the category of unknown glass relics. By estimating the training group and testing the test group, it is found that the algorithm can correctly classify 100.0% of the original grouped cases. We can identify the unknown cultural relics and find that A1, A5, A6 and A7 cultural relics belong to high potassium glass, and the rest belong to lead barium glass. In order to test the accuracy of the model in identifying the category of glass relics, Fisher's exact test algorithm was used. It was found that the classification results were more sensitive to silica in the fluctuation range of - 50% to - 25%, and less sensitive to other chemical components, it is stable.

Spatial analysis and optimization of self-pickup points of a new retail model in the Post-Epidemic Era: the case of Community-Group-Buying in Xi’an City

The Community-Group-Buying Points (CGBPs) flourished during COVID-19, safeguarding the daily lives of community residents in community lockdowns, and continuing to serve as a popular daily shopping channel in the Post-Epidemic Era with its advantages of low price, convenience and neighborhood trust. These CGBPs are allocated on location preferences however spatial distribution is not equal. Therefore, in this study, we used point of interest (POI) data of 2,433 CGBPs to analyze spatial distribution, operation mode and accessibility of CGBPs in Xi’an city, China as well as proposed the location optimization model. The results showed that the CGBPs were spatially distributed as clusters at α = 0.01 (Moran’s I = 0.44). The CGBPs operation mode was divided into preparation, marketing, transportation, and self-pickup. Further CGBPs were mainly operating in the form of joint ventures, and the relying targets presented the characteristic of ‘convenience store-based and multi-type coexistence’. Influenced by urban planning, land use, and cultural relics protection regulations, they showed an elliptic distribution pattern with a small oblateness, and the density showed a low–high-low circular distribution pattern from the Palace of Tang Dynasty outwards. Furthermore, the number of communities, population density, GDP, and housing type were important driving factors of the spatial pattern of CGBPs. Finally, to maximize attendance, it was suggested to add 248 new CGBPs, retain 394 existing CGBPs, and replace the remaining CGBPs with farmers’ markets, mobile vendors, and supermarkets. The findings of this study would be beneficial to CGB companies in increasing the efficiency of self-pick-up facilities, to city planners in improving urban community-life cycle planning, and to policymakers in formulating relevant policies to balance the interests of stakeholders: CGB enterprises, residents, and vendors.

Experimental research on the performance of a Novel Geo-filament anchor for an Earthen architectural site

At present, most studies of anchorage techniques for earthen architecture ruins are conducted so as to improve the anchor force, however, the damage caused to the ruins by anchor reinforcement has not been fully considered in practice and no special anchor technique has been applied to reinforce the small sliding mass. This paper summarizes the application and R&D of anchor rod techniques as applied to the protection of the Gaochang Ruins, Turpan, in China. Based on the reinforcement of the small sliding mass of the earthen historical ramparts, a new type of Geotechnical Filament Anchor (GFA) is designed. By changing six parameters, including anchorage length (L), GF thickness (H), bore diameter (D), slurry strength (S), GFA surface state (R) and inclination Angle (A), the tensile strength, failure mode, load displacement (P-S) relationship and strain (ζ-L) distribution characteristics are studied, and corresponding analysis is performed on the test data and phenomena. (1) A formula for the design value of the anchorage force N is presented. (2) Combining the data on the strain distribution at the GF-slurry interface under the action of N, the shear stress distribution model of the anchorage system is obtained. (3) Taking into account the soil mechanical properties of the above-mentioned ruins, the shear stress diffusion coefficient (α) is conceptualized, the formula for the shear strength of the grouting material is obtained, and the allowable ranges of L, D, H, R, and S determined. A new design is proposed for the application of anchorage techniques to earthen ruins in the context of protection of cultural relics, which promotes the design and calculation method described in this paper.

Analysis of microbial community and biodeterioration of maritime cultural relics (ironware, porcelain, axes, hull wood) from the Nanhai No. 1 shipwreck

PurposeMaritime cultural relics from the Nanhai No. 1 shipwreck were immersed in a buffer to maintain stability. To better monitor the changes in the composition of microorganisms in the buffer and, thus, prevent the damage to artifacts caused by harmful microorganisms.MethodsIn September and November 2019, we conducted high-throughput sequencing of water samples from four types of maritime cultural relics (ironware, porcelain, axe, and hull wood) to reveal the composition and changes in microbial communities. In addition, we isolated culturable microorganisms and conducted biocide sensitivity tests and lignin and cellulose degradation tests.ResultsVisible microbial colonization was observed in the water samples collected from the buffer solutions of ironware, porcelain, axe, and hull wood of the Nanhai No. 1 shipwreck; additionally, apparent differences in the composition of microorganisms in the water samples collected from different cultural relics and different collection times of the same cultural relics were noted. Few species of bacteria and fungi from the microbial community observed in the maritime cultural relics were cultured, and it was noted that various biocides had certain inhibitory effects on them. Some dominant strains had lignin and cellulose degradation abilities and could only grow under specific environmental conditions.ConclusionWe found apparent differences in the composition of microorganisms obtained from different cultural relics and different collection times of the same cultural relics. This study can provide data support for better protection of maritime cultural relics obtained from the Nanhai No. 1 shipwreck and provide a theoretical basis for the biological protection of other maritime cultural relics.

Spatial Pattern and Transportation Accessibility of Architectural Heritage in Chengdu, China

Architectural heritage is an important cultural resource in the city, and its macroscopic spatial pattern and accessibility are important for the conservation of architectural heritage and the development of heritage tourism. This paper explores the spatial pattern and accessibility of architectural heritage in Chengdu by using spatial analysis of 308 declared national, provincial, and municipal cultural relic protection units in Chengdu as the object of architectural heritage research. The results showed that: (1) The distribution of architectural heritage was generally clustered, and the clustering areas of various types of architectural heritage differ significantly, with architectural heritage mainly concentrated in the central urban areas; (2) The integration value of various road networks connecting architectural heritage in the central urban area were significantly better than those in other areas; (3) The transportation accessibility index of architectural heritage in the central urban areas was higher, while the transportation accessibility index of architectural heritage in the surrounding areas was lower.

Study on Barriers of Water Salt Transfers in Earthen Sites by Plastic-Coated Sand

Under the action of unidirectional water migration, museum soil sites generally encounter erosion through dry cracking, salt enrichment, etc. In this paper, the earthen site of the Terra Cotta Warriors Museum of the First Emperor of Qin was used as the research object, and the “hydrophobic” property of coated sand was proposed to prevent water migration and salt accumulation. Through the soil column experiment of water salt migration and the HYDRUS software numerical simulation, the water salt migration law of the soil in the heritage site under different conditions and the characteristics of water and salt resistance of plastic-coated sand were studied. The results showed that the salt damage on the earthen ruins was mainly due to the horizontal and vertical migration of water and salt in soil. After embedding the coated sand layer into the soil environment under the earthen site, the vertical and horizontal migration of water and salt in the soil can be completely prevented due to precipitation and groundwater. The coated sand protection technology and method proposed in this paper use materials similar to those of the earthen, and provide a feasible method for the protection of cultural relics in our country.

Fire Risk Assessment of Heritage Villages: A Case Study on Chengkan Village in China

Fire risk assessment is important in heritage-village risk management and cultural relics protection. This study aims to establish a fire risk assessment system and model to assess fire safety for heritage villages. Given the complexity and openness of the heritage village system, the nonlinearity of the driving factors, and the dual attributes of residence and tourism, this paper constructs an index system of three aspects: cultural relic value sensitivity, village fire hazard, and evacuation accessibility. Based on ANP and the Bayes algorithm, a hybrid intelligent model is developed, and the index is weighted by combining subjective expert scoring and objective fact statistics. Finally, ArcGIS buffer and network analysis functions are used for grid processing to quantify and evaluate the difference in fire risk distribution in spatial units of heritage villages. We apply this assessment method to Chengkan Village, a national critical cultural relic protection unit. The results reveal that the cluster settlement layout pattern of the ancestral temple buildings plays a decisive role in the fire risk distribution in Chengkan Village; furthermore, the main factors leading to fire risk were analyzed. In Chengkan Village’s core area, the focus of the local government should be on strengthening active fire prevention measures to reduce the probability of fire. In contrast, in the northern and southern areas, it should focus on enhancing passive fire prevention measures to reduce the possibility of significant fires.

Molecular-Composition Analysis of Glass Chemical Composition Based on Time-Series and Clustering Methods.

The weathering of ancient glass relics has long been a concerned. Therefore, a systematic and more comprehensive mathematical model with which to correctly judge the category of ancient glass products whose chemical composition changes due to weathering should be established. This paper systematically analyzes and studies the changes in the composition of ancient glass products as a result of weathering of. We first analyze the surface weathering of glass relics and its correlation with three properties and establish a multivariable time-series model to predict the chemical-composition content before weathering. Next, we use one-way analysis of variance for subclassification and, finally, we use a principal component analysis of the rationality, and change the significance level to determine its sensitivity, for the reasonable prediction of the chemical-composition content and classification to provide a theoretical basis for improving the model. This allows the model to provide reference values, which can be used in the protection of cultural relics, historical research, and other fields.

Application of hyperspectral imaging technology to digitally protect murals in the Qutan temple

Hyperspectral imaging technology is a research hotspot in the field of cultural heritage protection. It can be used to quickly and noninvasively obtain detailed spectral information from the surfaces of cultural relics of different categories. We can intuitively analyse pigment compositions, line characteristics, painting skills and patterns using spectral information. Hyperspectral imaging has high scientific significance and application value for the protection, restoration and research of ancient murals and other cultural relics. In this study, a mural from Daheitian hall in the Qutan temple, Qinghai Province, China, was used as a sample. The hyperspectral data were acquired and analysed for several purposes. Pigment spectral matching and abundance inversion were carried out to obtain the pigment distribution. These data were enhanced by continuum removal and histogram stretching to obtain hidden information. The dark channel prior, Criminisi and Retinex methods were used to virtually restore the image of the mural. The results indicated that by using hyperspectral imaging data, the constructed pure pigment spectrum library and suitable approaches, the types and distributions of mural pigments can be quantitatively analysed, and the lines in murals can be extracted. Hyperspectral images are helpful for identifying information hidden by pigments or surface materials. Mural images can be enhanced, and hidden information can be highlighted using enhancement methods, such as continuum removal and histogram linear stretching. In addition, hyperspectral imaging data have unique advantages in the restoration of mural images, and the combination of defogging methods and image inpainting algorithms can realize the virtual restoration of mural images. In brief, hyperspectral imaging technology was found to have a highly favourable effect on pigment analysis, line extraction, information enhancement, hidden information extraction and the virtual restoration of ancient murals.

Research on Thermal and Humidity Environment of Cultural Relics Exhibition Room

In order to meet the needs of humanistic education, museum buildings have developed vigorously in recent years. The protection and display of cultural relics is an effective way to continue historical information, which has important social and cultural significance. During the design and operation of the building air conditioning system, both the thermal and humidity environment of the cultural relics exhibition room should be responsible for the safety of the displayed cultural relics and the thermal comfort of visitors should be considered. In this paper, the indoor thermal and humidity environment of a cultural relic exhibition room in Beijing was measured, and the indoor air velocity distribution and temperature and humidity distribution were obtained. The results show that the thermal and humidity environment of the cultural relics exhibition room is better, but the indoor temperature of the exhibition room is lower, which still has great energy saving potential. It needs to be improved in the future engineering practice to achieve double optimization of comfort and energy saving effect. In order to achieve accurate control of the indoor thermal and humidity environment of the cultural relics exhibition room, we built a data collection for thermal environment parameters and air quality, which is used for monitoring and data collection of the cultural relics exhibition room.

Component analysis of ancient glass products based on hierarchical analysis clustering algorithm

First, the attachment is pre-processed, and after the abnormal data are removed side by side, the bar chart is drawn to preliminarily analyze the relationship that lead-barium glass is easier to weathering than high potassium glass. Then the chi-square test is carried out to find that whether the weathering of the glass cultural relics surface is related to the glass type of the cultural relics, but there is no obvious relationship with the decoration and color of the cultural relics. Secondly, the statistical model of one-way ANOVA was established, and the difference analysis of various chemical components was conducted before and after the two types of glass weathering. The chemical components that passed the difference test had significant statistical rules. Finally, multiple linear regression equations are constructed to predict the chemical composition content before weathering. The 14 chemical components of glass were regarded as 14 indicators, and the principal component analysis method was used to calculate the principal component contribution rate and the cumulative contribution rate, and then the two principal components were determined. Then the principal component analysis was used to cluster the indicators, and the hierarchical clustering algorithm was used to generate lineage maps. According to the elbow principle, the number of subcategories of high potassium glass is 3, and the number of subcategories of lead-barium glass is 4, so as to divide the chemical composition of glass. The cluster group scatter plot is then plotted and the subclass results are highly reasonable. Then a stepwise regression model is established to analyze the classification sensitivity and obtain several indicators with high sensitivity, which can be used for more targeted protection and restoration of unearthed cultural relics.

Experimental Investigation of the Influence of Freeze–Thaw Mode on Damage Characteristics of Sandstone

The influence of rock weathering caused by freezing–thawing on stone cultural relics cannot be ignored. For immovable stone cultural relics, different parts under different environmental conditions will be under different freeze–thaw actions and suffer different degrees of damage. In this paper, three typical freeze–thaw cycle tests of sandstone are designed, namely immersion test, capillary action test, and periodic saturation test. The macroscopic and microscopic morphologies of rock samples under different freeze–thaw cycles were analyzed. Weathering indicators such as porosity, water content, wave velocity, and surface hardness were tested, as well as uniaxial compressive strength. The variation law of weathering index and uniaxial compressive strength under different freezing–thawing cycles was obtained, and the quantitative relationship between each index parameter was further analyzed. The results show that under different freezing–thawing conditions, the apparent morphology of rock samples is different, and the trend of weathering indexes is similar, but the rate of change is different. The water content of rock has a great influence on the test results of wave velocity but has little influence on the surface hardness. The function relationship between weathering index and compressive strength under different freezing–thawing modes is similar, but the fitting parameters are different. Finally, the strength and wave velocity damage factors were used to quantitatively evaluate the degree of rock weathering. The results show that the immersion freeze–thaw damage is the highest, the periodic saturated freeze–thaw damage is the second highest, and the capillary freeze–thaw damage is the least highest. This is consistent with the field observation results. The conclusion of this paper can provide reference for the detection of stone cultural relics and provides a scientific basis for the anti-weathering protection of stone cultural relics.

Triaxial test and microstructure analysis of soil from alkali contaminated sites

The protection of site cultural relics is facing great challenges of site soil instability and contamination. Targeting at the special geological environment of Kaifeng region, the affecting laws of different concentrations of alkali on mechanical properties of site soil in this region are studied in this paper. The triaxial test is conducted to study the mechanical properties of site soil, including its failure pattern, stress-strain relationship, stress path and strength index, etc. The X-ray diffraction test and scanning electron microscope test are used to analyze the composition, particle state, and pore characteristics of the soil before and after contamination, and to evaluate the stability of the site soil. At the site combining with microstructure changes and macro mechanical properties. The results show that, from the macroscopic surface, with the increase of alkali concentration, the failure shear plane usually appears along the 45° direction. From the perspective of mechanical properties, the stress-strain relationship of the site soil is caused by the strengthening of soil deformation, and the alkali concentration increases, and the curve gradually develops from hardening type to softening type. The stress path is the line connecting the points in the sequence of the stress change process, which is different, and the corresponding soil deformation and strength characteristics will also appear very different. The stress path of soil with different alkali concentration is different. Under the same σ3 condition, the stress σ1 is different. The stress change is expressed in macroscopic terms as different forms of soil damage. Under 0 % concentration, the strength index of soil is 82.14 kPa, 21.67°, and the alkali concentration is 4–16 %, the internal friction Angle is gradually increased, and the cohesion is slightly reduced. From the micro perspective, the main components of the contaminated site soil are SiO2, Al2O3, CaO and Fe2O3. In the process of alkali-soil reaction, alkali reacts with oxides in soil to form Na2AlO2, which has a certain cementation effect. SiO2 reacts with NaOH solution to generate Na2SiO3, which has strong cohesiveness and strength. The newly generated cementing material in the soil increases, and the bonding force between particles increases. In addition, some cements fill the inner pores and improve the shear strength of soil. Under the same pressure, the stress-strain curve of soil gradually developed from hardening type to softening type with the increase of alkali concentration. In the stress-strain curve of soil, with the increase of alkali concentration, the soil reaches the strength at failure under small deformation. The increase of alkali concentration reduces the plasticity and increases the brittleness of soil. At this time, if the stress is localized, shear bands will appear and the stability of soil will decrease. The study of soil properties changes caused by different alkali pollution concentrations can provide a scientific basis for the reinforcement and protection of soil sites or ancient cultural foundations in Kaifeng area.
