Menschliche Mumien in Museen stellen eine sehr diffizile Thematik dar, die nicht selten zu heftigen und emotional gepragten Diskussionen unter Fachleuten und interessierten Laien fuhrt. Nicht nur Entscheidungen uber die Ausstellung von Mumien, sondern auch die natur- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen und die Konservierung/Restaurierung stellen hohe Anforderungen an die beruflich involvierten Personen. Die Fragestellung zum ethisch korrekten Umgang mit Mumien in Museen wurde der Methodik der Angewandten Ethik folgend untersucht. Die Sichtweisen der unterschiedlichen Disziplinen, die einen beruflichen Umgang mit Mumien haben, wurden dargestellt. Eine Entscheidungsfindungsstrategie wurde entwickelt, die dem Konservator/Restaurator...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Mummy brown was a rich brown bituminous pigment, intermediate in tint between burnt umber and raw umber, which was one of the favorite colors of the Pre-Raphaelites. Mummy brown was originally made in the 16th and 17th centuries from white pitch, myrrh, and the ground-up remains of Egyptian mummies, both human and feline, one London colourman claiming that he could satisfy the demands of his customers for twenty years from one Egyptian mummy. It fell from popularity in the early 19th century when its composition became generally known to artists. It was also considered extremely variable in its composition and quality, and since it contained ammonia and particles of fat, was likely to affect...

Muni Metro is a light rail system serving San Francisco, California, operated by the San Francisco Municipal Railway Muni, a division of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency SFMTA. Serving 156,900 passengers a day, Muni Metro is the second busiest light rail system in the United States. Muni Metro is the modern incarnation of the traditional streetcar system that had served San Francisco since the late 19th century. While many streetcar lines in other cities and San Francisco itself were converted to buses after World War II, five lines survived until the 1970s, when the streetcar lines were converted to light rail during the opening of the Market Street Subway in 1980. Recently, the system had undergone expansion, most...

Municipalities own large numbers of real properties, at least some of which are impacted by contamination, thus creating an unknown magnitude of environmental liabilities. Municipalities must quantify these liabilities, but no suitable method exists to quantify these liabilities in a cost-effective and practical manner. Through literature review, interviews and case study analysis, this book develops a new, cost effective method that any Canadian municipality can use to quantify its environmental liabilities. This method is developed based upon Generally Acceptable Accounting Principles, legislative requirements, risk assessment and modeling. The benefits of quantifying environmental liabilities are substantial. They may include:...

La notion de munition immergee designe les situations ou des munitions ont ete perdues ou volontairement jetees dans les eaux marines, douces ou saumatres, parfois continentales ou souterraines. Ce concept est directement ou indirectement lie aux situations de sequelles de guerres ou d'activites militaires. Il evoque un double risque : d'explosion ; et de pollution induite par les munitions ainsi que contamination chimique des chaines alimentaires ; a court, moyen ou long terme selon les cas.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Muntz Metal is a form of alpha-beta brass with about 60% copper, 40% zinc and a trace of iron. It is named after George Fredrick Muntz, a metal-roller of Birmingham, England. Muntz commercialised the alloy following his patent of 1832, although one William Collins had patented a 56:44 alloy in 1800. Its original use was as a replacement for the copper lining placed on the bottom of boats as it maintained the anti-fouling abilities of the pure form. As it cost around two thirds of the price of pure copper and had identical properties for this application, it became the material of choice and Muntz made his fortune. Later it was used to sheathe the piles of piers in tropical seas, as a protection...

Muscle memory, also known as motor learning, is a form of procedural memory that involves consolidating a specific motor task into memory through repetition. When a movement is repeated over time, a long-term muscle memory is created for that task; eventually allowing it to be performed without conscious effort. This process decreases the need for attention and creates maximum efficiency within the motor and memory systems. Examples of muscle memory are found in many everyday activities that become automatic and improve with practice, such as riding a bicycle or typing on a keyboard or playing video games....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Mutoscope was an early motion picture device, patented by Herman Casler on November 21, 1894. Like Thomas Edison's Kinetoscope it did not project on a screen, and provided viewing to only one person at a time. Cheaper and simpler than the Kinetoscope, the system—marketed by the American Mutoscope Company (later the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company)—quickly dominated the coin-in-the-slot "peep-show" business. Mutoscopes were a popular feature of amusement arcades and pleasure piers in the UK until the introduction of decimal coinage in 1971 made the mechanisms obsolete. The typical arcade installation included multiple machines offering a mixture of fare. Both in the early days...

Mutual exclusion algorithms are used in concurrent programming to avoid the simultaneous use of a common resource, such as a global variable, by pieces of computer code called critical sections. A critical section is a piece of code where a process or thread accesses a common resource. The critical section by itself is not a mechanism or algorithm for mutual exclusion. A program, process, or thread can have the critical section in it without any mechanism or algorithm, which implements mutual exclusion.Examples of such resources are fine-grained flags, counters or queues, used to communicate between code that runs concurrently, such as an application and its interrupt handlers. The synchronization of access to those resources is an acute...

This work deals with two challenges that have engaged the scientific community decades now. Namely, our focus is about the interaction among vibrating surfaces and the digitization of the acoustic signals. A micro-transducer array may act as a digital transducer, which can be connected to digital sources directly without the need of converters. The problem of generating significant sound pressure with devices of small area can be met by combining several micro-transducers into a matrix structure. As the inter-element distance is small, the amplitude of the total field is roughly the sum of the individual amplitudes. However, this small distance in conjunction with the light elements intensifies the phenomenon of mutual interactions....

A muzzleloader is any firearm into which the projectile and usually the propellant charge is loaded from the muzzle of the gun. This is distinct from the more popular modern design of breech-loading firearms. Modern muzzleloading firearms range from reproductions of sidelock, flintlock and percussion long guns, to in-line rifles that use modern inventions such as a closed breech, sealed primer and fast rifling to allow for considerable accuracy at long ranges. Mortars are muzzle loaded and are a type of short-range artillery. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии принт-он-деманд после получения заказа.

A muzzle booster or recoil booster is a device affixed to the muzzle of a firearm, intended to harness the energy of the escaping propellant to augment the force of recoil on portions of the firearm. Muzzle boosters are usually used to improve the reliability of a recoil operated firearm. The muzzle booster is the antithesis of the muzzle brake, which is designed to use the propellant gases to reduce the recoil of the firearm. Данное издание не является оригинальным.
