This thesis examines the development of the art of gem engraving in Etruria between the years from ca 520 to ca 470 BC. It is divided into two parts, the first of which is an analysis of the style of the intaglios, and the second an analysis of the iconography. In Part One attributions to individual hands or groups are suggested, and conventional names supplied; the relationships of the engravers both to each other and to the late archaic Greek schools are examined. In Part Two the iconography of the intaglios is examined both internally and against the wider background of Etruscan and Greek art;- where relevant, comparison is also made with the literary tradition; this study concerns itself only with the human figure, and the chapters are arranged around cycles of myth and the individual figure types.

Suites of gem-quality faceted tourmaline, slices and fragments from Nigeria Namibia, Mali, Tanzania, Congo and Mozambique were quantitatively analyzed to determine mineralogy and minor elementChemistry. The specimens range in color from colorless to pink, red, yellowish-brown, green, bluish-gray, blue, brown and black. The results show that these tourmalines are elbaite, liddicoatite, rossmanite and schorl. Fe, Mn and Ti are the principal chromophores of the studied tourmaline. Fe is the most dominant and causes green, blue, dark-brown and black colors. Mn imparts pink and red hues. Correlations between Mn content and pink color intensity were not found. The Mn2+¡êTi4+ charge transfer causes yellowish-brown colors. A positive correlation of Na+ with transition element content was found. Limited relationships betweenChemistry and locality were deciphered for Nigeria, Namibia and Tanzania on the basis of endmember content and Congo based on Mn, Mg and Ti content.

Just-in-time refers to the movement of material at the necessary place at the necessary time. The implication is that each operation is closely synchronized with the subsequent ones to make that possible. A method of just-in-time production which uses standard containers with a single card attached to each. It is a pull system in which work centers signal with a card that they wish to withdraw parts from feeding operations or vendors. Kanban, in Japanese, loosely translated means, “card”, literally “billboard” or “sign”. The term is often used synonymously for the specific scheduling developed and used by Toyota Corporation in Japan.
