Translations of titles and colophons were done by Charles Ramble and Naljor Tsering, transcriptions of selected texts by Nyima Drandul. The features such as bookbinding style, format and layout of manuscripts, as well as the type of paper illustrated with close-up and microscopic images, were taken by Agnieszka Helman-Ważny. The illustrations were described by Nils Martin, and the photographic documentation taken in situ was done by Thomas Schrom and Rinchen Loden Lama. Detailed studies and laboratory analyses of paper samples were carried out by Agnieszka Helman-Wazny in collaboration with the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Archaeometric Research at the University of Warsaw (Barbara Wagner, Agata Szubartowska, Alicja Święcicka, and Bartłomiej Witkowski) and Warsaw University of Technology (Grażyna Zofia Żukowska), using integrated methods such as microscopic fibre analysis, Reflectance Transformation Imaging/Polynomial Texture Maps (RTI / PTM), and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF).

It is named after the lineage of Bönpo priests in whose house it is kept. The collection, consisting of 340 different items with a total of 3,477 folios, cards, or individual sheets of paper, represents the ritual repertoire of the priests of the kings of Mustang, once a Tibetan kingdom and now a district of Nepal. The manuscripts exemplify the variety of forms, scripts, decorations, materials and other codicological features. The texts have not been used since the priestly line ended in the 1950s or 60s. The value of this collection is twofold: first, the collection was assembled from different parts of Tibet and the Himalaya over six centuries, and offers a rich body of material which can be retrieved by material and codicological analyses that will contribute to our understanding of book and paper making traditions in the region, as well as social aspects of Tibetan manuscript production; and secondly, in terms of its content, it offers a window onto the nature of royal religion in a Tibetan kingdom. These manuscripts were used in rituals for the protection and prosperity of the kingdom of Mustang, its subjects and members of royal lineage; knowledge of the materials and ritual practices involved in the creation of physical objects will help to understand the interaction between religion, patronage and political authority in Tibetan society.DATASET FILESThe dataset contains files:• Drangsong_148.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_148.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_148_001r.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_148_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_148_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_148_XRF_analysis.png (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry).DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTDetailed information on writing, materials, format, and layout is provided in a Readme.txt file attached to this dataset.</p

Archeologiczna rekonstrukcja kithary koncertowej z VI-IV w. p.n.e. - katalog
No full text"Archeologiczna rekonstrukcja kithary koncertowej z VI-IV w. p.n.e." jest projektem mającym na celu zbadanie pełnego procesu wytwórczego kithary koncertowej. Jego celem jest uzyskanie danych, dotyczących czasu pracy, użytych narzędzi oraz wymaganych kwalifikacji i niezbędnych umiejętności wytwórcy. Projekt zakłada wykorzystanie jedynie tych surowców, narzędzi oraz technik, które były dostępne ówcześnie w antycznej Grecji. Prace rekonstrukcyjne oparte zostały na podstawie analizy wszystkich, dostępnych kategorii źródłowych, stworzonego modelu trójwymiarowego, badaniach statystycznych, w tym min. rozkład Gaussa oraz konsultacjach z lutnikiem.Plik "Analiza statystyczna-arkusze" zawiera analizę 438 przedstawień kithary koncertowej umieszczonych na greckich naczyniach z okresu VI-IV w. p.n.e. Układ każdego arkusza jest identyczny i dzieli się na 6 segmentów. W pierwszych dwóch, znajdują się informacje dotyczące naczynia, takie jak: forma, styl, datowanie, pochodzenie oraz jego wymiary: obwód, obwód wylewu oraz stopy, a także wysokość. W trzecim segmencie umieszczone są dane dotyczące przedstawionego na naczyniu instrumentu: typ, forma, obecność elementów konstrukcyjnych. Kolejny segment, to dane metryczne odpowiadające przedstawionym postaciom na naczyniu. W piątym segmencie znajduje się opis przedstawienia, z podziałem na stronę A oraz B, a także uwagi dotyczące samej ikonografii. W ostatnim segmencie, znajdują się zdjęcia naczyń ukazujące kitharę koncertową. Część analizowanych przedstawień nie posiada danych w segmentach 4-6 ze względu na słabą jakość zdjęć, brak odpowiedniej formy instrumentu lub perspektywę przedstawienia, uniemożliwiającą uzyskanie wszystkich danych nt. kithary koncertowej.Umieszczona dokumentacja fotograficzna dotyczy przeprowadzonego procesu wykonania pełnoprawnej kopii instrumentu przez J.T. Kubickiego. Zdjęcia zostały zgrupowane według następujących kategorii:1) Prace przygotowawcze2) Produkcja strun3) Przygotowanie surowca4) Pudło rezonansowe – wszystkie etapy prac dotyczące korpusu instrumentu5) Górna część ramion6) Mechanizm sprężynowy7) Produkcja pinów8) Przygotowanie poprzeczki9) Impregnacja drewna10) Łączenie ramion11) Pozostałe</p
Hybrydy transmitochondrialne jako model komórkowy do badania selekcji haplotypów mitochondrialnego DNA
No full textCelem projektu było sprawdzenie czy możliwe jest uzyskanie ludzkich linii komórkowych niosących mieszaninę haplotypów mtDNA różniących się sekwencją w wielu pozycjach, jednak nie niosących wariantów patogennych (na wzór badań prowadzonych na myszach), oraz czy będzie występować w nich zjawisko selekcji mtDNA.Do konstrukcji cybryd, posiadających mieszaninę dwóch haplotypów mtDNA, wykorzystano linię komórek ludzkich 143B pozbawionych mtDNA (ρ0) oraz bezjądrzaste płytki krwi (jako cytoplasty) pozyskane od czterech osób z różnymi haplotypami mtDNA, o różnej odległości genetycznej. Poszczególne klony komórek sprawdzono w kierunku obecności heteroplazmii mtDNA. Heteroplazmię mtDNA monitorowano przez kolejne pasaże w trakcie hodowli.Wstępną ocenę przeprowadzono przy użyciu sekwencjonowania wybranego odcinka mtDNA metodą Sangera, a następnie wykonano dokładną analizę przy użyciu głębokiego, wysokoprzepustowego sekwencjonowania całego mtDNA.Dane z wysokoprzepustowego sekwencjonowania mtDNA występują w postaci surowych plików .fastq.gz, mapowań .bam i .bam.bai oraz list zidentyfikowanych wariantów w postaci plików .xlsx dla poszczególnych klonów komórkowych.Wyniki z sekwencjonowania wybranego odcinka mitochondrialnego DNA metodą Sangera dla poszczególnych klonów komórkowych występują w postaci plików .ab1.Wyniki z sekwencjonowania wybranego odcinka mitochondrialnego DNA metodą Sangera dla dwóch heteroplazmatycznych klonów komórkowych z kolejnych pasaży występują w postaci plików .ab z dopiskami P2-P7 w nazwie.</p
