“…This allows the virtual 'archiving' and provides a feasible alternative for the public display of archaeological wooden artefacts (cf. Gjelstrup Björdal et al, 2006). This would enable the full interrogation of material without the necessity to handle or transport the wood and more importantly, the need for costly post-excavation preservation in all but the most exceptional of circumstances.…”

“…An aquarium must be maintained regularly to ensure that the animals are kept healthy. Daily maintenance consists of checking the fish for signs of stress and disease [10][11][12]. Water movement can also be important in simulating a natural ecosystem.…”

“…Water movement can also be important in simulating a natural ecosystem. Water movement can be controlled via aeration from air pumps, power heads, and careful design of internal water flow (such as location of filtration system points of inflow and outflow) [8,12].…”

First International Symposium on Urban Development: Koya as a Case Study

An outline for any project is a crucial part because it is improves the quality of the project, beside all of the consequences that will be expected. Kurdistan starts to develop and grow in all aspects; tourism, industry, education, etc, as government and relative ministries are concerned. An aquarium is a place of refreshment to keep and exhibit animals and plants that live in water. An aquarium can be used for different purposes; for example, for education, research, investment and environmental protection. In Kurdistan, there is no aquarium; it can be built by the government and it can be proposed to the private sector, since it is the missing part of the tourism industry. Koya city is one of the locations that are suitable for an aquarium as it is easy to access by civilians from Sulaimani, Hawler and Kirkruk and it is beside Dukan's lake. The project needs a plan and efforts to be made.

“…To bring a wreck on display in an aquarium in a normal museum environment is an innovative idea that was tested recently in a research project (Björdal et al 2007b). By careful examination of test samples over a period of 3 years, it was concluded that archaeological wood would be even more protected from microbial decay inside an anoxic aquarium than at the seabed or in a lake.…”

The financial contribution of COST Action IE0601 and of University of Florence for covering the publication costs of this volume are gratefully ackwnoledged Main objectives and resultsThe main objectives of the Workshop, which have been achieved at a quite satisfactory level, can be summarized as follows:a) To present a "state of the art" about selected subjects dealt with by the Action (From the program: "Historic wood -structure and properties", "Wood material -ageing and non-biological degradation", "Assessment & Diagnosis", "Diagnosing the surface of painted wood" "Diagnosing the efficiency of object treatments", "Contributions from Wood Science to conservation issues", "Expressing needs in the field of conservation, of objects and/or monuments, in matter of Wood Science"); b) To improve mutual knowledge and acquaintance between MC Members, and WG members; c) To present current ongoing research, and inform specialists of different fields, all working towards conservation of WCHOs (Wooden Objects belonging to the Cultural Heritage), about the work of their colleagues and the scientific work being carried out in different Institutions; d) To provide an opportunity for discussing interdisciplinary subjects, which are very important for study and conservation of WCHOs; e) To identify the main subjects to be discussed in forthcoming activities.In fact this Workshop was instrumental for defining and addressing the future activities of the Action; a very good atmosphere, full of enthusiasm and of availability towards cooperation, emerged, and has been maintained during successive activities. The previous meeting (in Tervuren) and this one were both organized at short notice, as is normally the case at the beginning of an Action. They allowed interactions between scientists who often met for the first time and exchanges of general information from subjects of other fields. In the plenary meetings which followed, scientific contributions on well-focused subjects have been made possible by the longer time allowed for submission of papers. In this occasion several topics were also suggested for future general or focused meetings. Allocating and refereeing the PapersFor this Workshop, the Steering Committee (see Annex 2) fulfilled the role of Scientific Committee, preparing and managing its scientific aspects, and organising the refereeing process of the submitted papers, all of which have been peer-reviewed for this publication. Emphasis should be given to the fact that all accepted paper were deemed of high scientific calibre and deserved the same "dignity", no matter whether they were allocated as Oral presentations or Posters, such allocation being dictated by inescapable time constraints. Unfortunately some Authors were not able to submit their paper for publication; the titles of their presentations can be found in the Programme (Appendix 2). In some cases, the screen presentations they offered can be found on the Action's website . Others, not being of English mother tongue, submitted...
