Mass fatalities can present the forensic anthropologist and pathologist with a different set of challenges to those presented by single fatality. To date radiography has played an important role in disaster victim identification (DVI) process. The aim this paper is highlight benefits applying computed tomography (CT) technology DVI begins reviewing extent which sophisticated imaging techniques, specifically CT, have been increasingly used assist analysis deceased individuals. A small scale...
Egg masses of 772 red king crab, Paralithodes camtschatica, were sampled to determine the prevalence, intensity, and patterns cooccurrence brood symbionts from 28 Alaskan localities. Carcinonemertes regicides three other undescribed nemertean egg predators recovered many localities, as an turbellarian amphipod, Ischyrocerus sp. A widespread outbreak nemerteans occurred in 1983–84 1984–85 crab brooding seasons. At some locations, nearly all eggs consumed season. Feeding C. on was documented...
The analyses of physical evidence recovered from clandestine single and mass graves have been demonstrated to be significant evidential and/or investigative value for both court purposes humanitarian investigations. detection these types is, therefore, pivotal forensic This article reviews different remote ground-based methods that used attempt detect deliberately concealed burial sites summarizes the experimental research has, date, undertaken in order improve grave detection. then presents...
The ways in which experts present their findings criminal courts can potentially influence how that evidence is understood by members of the court. A pilot survey 60 men and women, different ages, from legal non-legal backgrounds, compared multiple formats presentation to gauge comprehension evidence. addition visual aids significantly improved verbal combination a three dimension (3D) print skull was best majority participants (93%), followed description photograph 3D (80%) with autopsy...
Abstract The skeletal trauma resulting from fatal low (≤3 m) free falls is poorly researched and understood by forensic practitioners. aim of this study was to identify the types through investigating fracture patterns morphologies. Skeletal analyzed using full‐body postmortem computed tomography scans 145 individuals who died a fall. Trauma then contextualized variables that influence how person multiple logistic regression. Results showed patterning primarily involved axial skeleton there...
The process of locating and identifying missing persons presents a complex challenge that hinges on the collection comparison diverse data sets. This commentary offers an overview some difficulties considerations associated with management in context large-scale person identifications. Such complexities include uniqueness each disaster event, response time to variable quality quantity data, involvement numerous stakeholders, all which contribute intricacies management. In addition, paramount...
When human remains are inadvertently located, case-related circumstantial information is used to generate an identification hypothesis, and the preservation of typically informs which methods may then be validate that hypothesis. What happens, however, when there no contextual hypothesis? This paper presents case a near-complete skeleton discovered at Sandy Point in Victoria, Australia. The circumstances did not facilitate with hypothesis triage process, all possible were employed....
ABSTRACT: The subject of missing persons is great concern to the community with numerous associated emotional, financial, and health costs. This paper examines forensic medical issues raised by delayed identification individuals classified as “missing” highlights importance including dental data in investigation persons. Focusing on Australia, current approaches employed investigations are outlined. Of particular significance fact that each eight Australian states territories has its own...
Abstract Objectives Biological mortality bias is the idea that individuals who perish (non‐survivors) are biologically distinct from those survive (survivors). If biological large enough, bioarchaeological studies of nonsurvivors (skeletal samples) cannot accurately represent experiences survivors population. This effect particularly problematic for study juvenile individuals, as growth sensitive to environmental insults. In this study, we test whether exists in one dimension growth, namely...
Abstract Objectives Biological mortality bias is the idea that individuals who comprise skeletal samples (non‐survivors) are a specific subset of overall population, may have been exposed to greater stress during life. Because this, it possible studying growth in population misrepresents and health survivors population. Using modern sample, this study investigates whether biological be present archaeological samples. Materials methods Postmortem computed tomography scans 206 children aged...
