Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) artifact modeling is becoming an increasingly utilized tool in archaeology. In comparison with other methods of 3D scanning, photogrammetry has the benefits being relatively inexpensive, mobile, and more adaptable for use field conditions. As part a larger project to document variability lithic production systems across Middle Upper Paleolithic Transition Western Europe, we developed photography rig express purpose systematically capturing images creation...
Artifact collectors are commonplace the world over. They range from individuals with personal collections, to organized looting ventures which supply artifacts market. In United States, a strong tradition of artifact collecting exists in North American Great Plains. this region, collections obtained private lands common and potentially important source information about past. Here, we report on 'Artifact Roadshows' held document lithic projectile points collections. Through these events –...
Abstract
This study uses data extracted from 3D models to compare blade cores the Châtelperronian and Protoaurignacian stone tool industries. These technocomplexes are at center of debate surrounding interactions between Neanderthals anatomically modern humans approximately 45 40,000 years ago. We created lithic sites Roc de Combe Les Cottés using a standardized photogrammetry protocol. then used derived these make quantitative comparisons artifact attributes that have previously been argued...
High quality specimen digitization is becoming standard across the sciences, relevant for curation of natural history collections, and must become a priority dendrochronology. This paper overviews enduring role imaging in dendrochronology, summarizes potential relevance gigapixel macro photography polished specimens, offers long-term review commercial system, reports our progress entire collections specimens at ultra-high resolution. Our images have proven effective digital analyses,...
Proper methods of assessment to objectively identify pain are essential for welfare improvements piglets undergoing surgical castration on commercial farms. The Piglet Grimace Scale (PGS) is used changes in facial expressions caused by acute tail docking and castration. However, subjective scoring a concern the validation PGS. objectives this study were evaluate refine PGS through 3D landmark geometric morphometrics. Male (n = 88) randomly allocated one two treatments: sham-castration....

Natural and anthropogenically induced soil erosion can cause serious loss of the archaeological record. Our work shows value multi-scalar geoarchaeological study when excavating re-excavating rockshelters in a highly dynamic sedimentary environment where is prominent. Here we present our on Kisese II rockshelter, Tanzania, originally excavated 1950s largely unpublished, that preserves an important Pleistocene-Holocene record integral to understanding deep history Kondoa Rock-Art World...
Developing an accurate and detailed 3-dimensional (3D) mental model of cardiac anatomy is critical for electrophysiology (EP) trainees. Due to its immersive nature, virtual reality (VR) may provide a better learning environment than traditional teaching methods assimilating 3D anatomy. The purpose this pilot study was evaluate the technical feasibility interactive, remote VR-based method novice EP We created shared, VR that allows shared viewing high-resolution models. Eighteen trainees...
In order to increase the rate of drug discovery, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies spend billions dollars a year assembling research databases. Current trends still indicate falling in discovery New Molecular Entities (NMEs). It is widely accepted that data need be integrated for it add value. The degree which this must achieved often misunderstood. true goal integration provide accessible knowledge. If knowledge cannot gained from these data, then will invalidate business case...
