Transparent Celadon with Phase-Separated Structure: Study on the Technological Characteristics and Coloring Mechanism of Celadons from the Lieshan Kiln by Qijiang Li, Jingyun Wang, Chao Chen, Tao Fang, Chenyi Gao, Jinwei Li

“…Results revealed that material and technological advancements in the production of the Lieshan Kiln and reveal the special phase-separated structure in the glaze of the transparent celadon, with a weakly reduced firing atmosphere. Celadon bodies from both periods were crafted from local sedimentary clays in a single-ingredient formula, with the Jin Dynasty refining the preparation, leading to enhanced density and higher firing temperatures compared to the Northern Song Dynasty. …”

Metallized Sol–Gel coatings on ceramic glazes with photocatalytic activity by Guillermo Monrós, Carolina Delgado, José Antonio Badenes, Guillem Monrós-Andreu, Mario Llusar

“… Coatings of anatase (TiO2), hematite (Fe2O3), or cobalt spinel (Co3O4) on ceramic glazes with a metallized effect and photocatalytic activity were prepared by depositing Sol–Gel inks made from metal salts dissolved in a polyol medium, applied via conventional screen printing, and fired at temperatures around 800–900°C. A red–yellow color layer (L*a*b*= 84/11/21) was obtained in the case of Fe2O3, a dark greenish-yellow color (L*a*b*= 72/–12/11) for Co3O4, and a metallic gray color for TiO2 (L*a*b*= 97/–1/2) with a metallic luster appearance. …”

Experience of using artificial nesting platforms for the Steppe Eagle in the south of Kostanay region, Kazakhstan by Alexey Yu. Timoshenko, Alexander V. Putilin, Radik R. Salemgareev, Georgy Yu. Timoshenko, Kanat Batyrkhanuly

“…The reasons for the decline are of different nature, both abiotic and biotic, and include the following: destruction of nests by land predators (most often Steppe Eagle nests are located on the ground); steppe fires are of great threat, and the fact that some nests are located on trees and bushes does not help, but rather aggravates the situation; destruction of nests by livestock; developing new areas for farms, etc., as a result, Steppe Eagles are forced to leave favorable nesting territories; electrocution on power poles as Steppe Eagles use traverses to build nests. …”
