We propose a new method for dating ancient linen threads by inspecting their structural degradation by means of wide-angle X-ray scattering.X-ray dating of a textile sample can be performed nondestructively and on a submillimeter area, e.g., 0.2 0.5 mm2, exploiting new table-top X-ray micro-sources.A theoretical formula is derived for dating linen
Pharmaceutical drugs in the aquatic medium may pose significant risk to non-target organisms.In this study, the potential toxicity of a mixture of three compounds commonly detected in marine waters (ibuprofen, ciprofloxacin and flumequine) was assessed, by studying bioaccumulation, oxidative stress and neurotoxicity parameters (catalase CAT, supero
