A Visit to an ancient Gypsum Quarry in Tuscany

Abstract

Three methods of consolidating stone have been compared using Maastricht limestone as the substrate. They are: impregnation with polymer (Paraloid B 72) from solution; impregnation with a mixture of monomers followed by (a) γ-ray polymerization or (b) free-radical initiated thermal polymerization. The best results were obtained with the third method.

Student Responses to Using a Computerized Database

Summary

An overwhelming majority (94%) of surveyed students rely on assistance from librarians (80%), professors (9%), and friends (5%) when using ERIC-on-CDROM, even when they are not first-time users. Almost three-quarters of the students report that ERIC-on-CDROM improves research quality (74%) and learning (70%) and evokes feelings of motivation and accomplishment (72%). All students indicate that they will return to use ERIC-on-CDROM but only 39% feel capable of transferring their skills to similar databases. Responses indicate that ERIC-on-CDROM contributes to highly individualized learning situations in which students successfully find information through assistance from both humans and computers.
