Preservation

Examples of Preservation in the following topics:

• Preservation

  • Any way it's looked at, preservation is not about standing still.
  • In a business context, sustainability demands that two forms of preservation take place.

• Food Preservation

  • Food preservation is the process of treating food to stop or slow down spoilage, loss of quality, edibility, or nutritional value.
  • Maintaining or creating nutritional value, texture and flavor is an important aspect of food preservation, although, historically, some methods drastically altered the character of the food being preserved.
  • Most commonly subjected to this method of food preservation are meats and fish that have undergone curing.
  • Preservative food additives can be antimicrobial.
  • Pickling is a method of preserving food in an edible anti-microbial liquid.

• Ecological Restoration

  • A preserve is an area of land set aside with varying degrees of protection for the organisms that exist within the boundaries of the preserve.
  • Research has shown that 12 percent of all species live solely outside preserves; these percentages are much higher when only threatened species and high-quality preserves are considered.
  • Some of the limitations on preserves as conservation tools stem from preserve designs.
  • Scientists are planning for the effects of global warming on future preserves and striving to predict the need for new preserves to accommodate anticipated changes to habitats.
  • Creating preserves reduces the pressure on human activities outside the preserves to be sustainable and non-damaging to biodiversity.

• Low Temperatures

  • Refrigeration preserves food by slowing down the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and the action of enzymes which cause food to rot.
  • Refrigeration is also used to facilitate the preservation of liquid medicines or other substances used for research where microbial growth is undesirable, often combined with added preservatives.
  • For longer periods of preservation, freezing temperatures are preferred to refrigeration.
  • Since early times, farmers, fishermen, and trappers have preserved their game and produce in unheated buildings during the winter season.
  • Long-term preservation of food may call for food storage at even lower temperatures.

• Rituals

  • The Shinto Shrines of Ise Jingu in Japan serve as an example of the importance of non-preservation.
  • Issues of non-preservation or wrongful preservation became widespread following the expansion of anthropology and archaeology in the 19th century.
  • Non-preservation refers to the opposite of preservation, either to the physical decay, or more often, the alteration of an object or artifact's intended meaning and/or purpose.
  • There are numerous ways in which non-preservation of ritual or spiritual objects can occur.
  • Many times, the very effort to preserve an artifact compromises its socially constructed meaning; in this way, the act of preservation becomes, in fact, an act of non-preservation.

• Fossil Formation

  • As a result, it would be rare for any of the antelope's remains to actually be preserved as a fossil.
  • Most fossils are preserved in one of five processes:
  • The rarest form of fossilization is the preservation of original skeletal material and even soft tissue.
  • For example, some insects have been preserved perfectly in amber, which is ancient tree sap .
  • The image depicts a gnat preserved in amber.

• Preserving Bacterial Cultures

  • As a practical matter, as a researcher, you will want to preserve your selected bacteria so you can go back to it if something goes wrong.
  • In order to ensure a pure culture is being preserved, pick a single colony of the bacteria off a plate, grow it overnight in the appropriate liquid media, and with shaking .
  • Bacteria that have been preserved in glycerol stocks can be grown overnight in liquid media to promote propagation.

• Conflicts

  • Destruction, mislabeling, appropriation and repossession can contribute to conflicts surrounding the preservation of art.
  • While institutions and owners do their best to preserve works of art, it is not uncommon for conflicts to arise due to issues related to ownership, human error, destruction and appropriation.
  • War, political unrest, accidents, and disaster are the typical outside factors that contribute to preservation conflicts when it comes to works of art.
  • Summarize the events that can contribute to conflicts in terms of the preservation of art.

• The Eruption of Mount Vesuvius

  • In 79 CE, Vesuvius erupted, burying Roman settlements, including Pompeii, which were preserved until excavation in the modern period.
  • Vesuvius, which famously erupted in August 79 CE, burying and preserving the cities of Herculaneum, Pompeii, along with the region's villas and farms.
  • Unlike the ash blanket of Pompei, in which organic material decomposed, the pyroclastic flow in Herculaneum petrified organic material, ensuring the preservation of human remains and wood, including the preservation of wooden screens, beds, and shelving.
  • Many of the frescoes, mosaics, and other non-organic materials in both ash and pyroclastic flow were preserved until their excavation in the modern period.

• Preservation and Restoration

  • Preservation and restoration is a profession devoted to the conservation of cultural heritage, such as works of art, for future generations.
