Of particular concern is the degradation of paper caused by mold colonization, which presents a major challenge in the preservation of cultural heritage. Furthermore, mold and their metabolites can compromise the human immune system and trigger allergic reactions, posing serious health risks to individuals involved in the conservation and handling of these materials. In this study, the mold contamination of paper archives in Shaanxi Province, China was taken as the research object, a fungicidal method was devised for eradicating fungal growth on mold-infested paper through the application of solid Na<sub>2</sub>B<sub>8</sub>O<sub>13</sub>·4H<sub>2</sub>O combined with discontinuous vacuum (BDV) treatment. The effectiveness of this approach was evaluated using mold-contaminated paper archives isolated from the Shaanxi Provincial Archives in China as the subject of investigation.

The changes in various metabolites and RNA levels were identified as the main factors of mold death, especially those related to genes in the Pentose phosphate pathway, galactose metabolism, and membrane components and transporters. This method offers a safe, efficient, and cost-effective approach for eradicating mildew on large-scale paper materials. It also explores novel possibilities for the prevention and removal of mold on paper substrates, laying a foundation for future research on the large-scale mold control of paper-based objects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15480,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cultural Heritage","volume":"74 ","pages":"Pages 22-34"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144147771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on utilizing hybrid digital technologies to virtually restore the separated Wanfoge (Ten Thousand Buddhas Pavilion) Zhihua Temple (Temple of Transforming Wisdom). Specifically, the coffered ceiling section from Wanfoge was dismantled in the early 20th century and subsequently sold and dispersed overseas. Our research goal is to digitally restore the original cultural appearance of the heritage and to provide a more comprehensive and in-depth interpretation and presentation of this significant architectural cultural heritage. Traditional 3D scanning and virtual assembly methods are inadequate for reconstructing this site, as the ceiling is an intricate wooden assembly with many components that cannot be directly scanned without disassembly. Additionally, a systematic analysis and reconstruction of the numerous missing decorative elements are required. This study introduced an innovative approach to reconstruct the missing 3D information of the ceiling and analyzed its original architectural installation context. We first introduced an innovative approach by utilizing camera pose reconstruction and historical image projection to guide the restoration and modeling process with accurate dimensions and positioning. Next, we used polygon Boolean operations to precisely cut and reconstruct the structural assemblies. Finally, we reinstalled the reconstructed 3D models into their original architectural context within a virtual environment. This study reveals that the construction sequence of the Zhihua Temple ceiling follows a bottom-up, pyramid-like structure. In reconstructing historical architectural scenes, the Camera Pose Reconstruction method allows for more precise positioning and modeling using historical photographs.

Historical records on glass and ceramics suggest a shift in cobalt sources or processing techniques around this time, with earlier European cobalt blue glass and glazes being arsenic-free and later ones containing significant arsenic levels. The aim is to determine the specific transformations of erythrite during firing, how it interacts with other compounds, and whether it forms phases that do not retain arsenic.

A transient cobalt arsenate appears at 627 °C but disappears at 755 °C, while at 775 °C, a cobalt-rich, arsenic-poor phase (Co₇.₈As₃O₁₆) forms.
