From Materials to Technique: A Complete Non-Invasive Investigation of a Group of Six Ukiyo-E Japanese Woodblock Prints of the Oriental Art Museum E. Chiossone (Genoa, Italy).

In the present work, a complete non-invasive scientific investigation of six Utagawa Kunisada's woodblock prints () belonging to the Oriental Art Museum "E. Chiossone" (Genoa, Italy), was performed in situ. The campaign started with high resolution multiband imaging (visible, multiband fluorescence, near infrared) followed by reflectance transformation imaging (RTI) to characterize and highlight the peculiar printing techniques and the condition of the support.

Evaluation of a smartphone-based electrocardiogram device accuracy in field and in hospital conditions in horses.

Background: Due to compactness and cheapness, smartphone ECG (sECG) could be very useful to equine practitioners. However, previous studies have evaluated the accuracy of sECG in hospitalised horses only. Different conditions in the field could influence the accuracy of the device.
