TL;DR: The diversity of species, their common or exclusive occurrence in the grottoes, the relationships among microbial communities and the differences in color and distribution of biofilms were discussed on the basis of the different climatic factors affecting the two grottoe and the different inorganic components of substrata.

TL;DR: A PC-based method based on jointly analysis of spectral content and fringe image sharpness as selection rules was developed, that allowed for evaluating the whole structure deformations, caused by environmental thermo-hygrometric fluctuations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of Principal Component Thermography and of Absolute Thermal Contrast to analyse thermal images acquired in-situ on a poplar panel painting representing an original artwork dating in the end of XVI century was analyzed.

TL;DR: Digital Speckle Pattern Interferometry and Square Pulse Thermography Analysis are utilized, as complementary tools for cultural heritage artifacts diagnostics, and can be applied on almost any type of archaeological finds, providing relevant information about their state of conservation.

TL;DR: In this article, the combined use of Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry and Pulse Thermography Analysis, as complementary tools for cultural heritage artifacts diagnostics have been employed on poplar panels painted reproducing original painting methods adopted during the 16th and 17th centuries.
