Abstract:
The human head was a potent symbol for many South American cultures. Isolated heads were often included in mortuary contexts, representing captured enemies, revered persons, and symbolic “seeds.” At Salango, a ritual complex on the central coast of Ecuador, excavations revealed two burial mounds dated to approximately 100 BC. Among the 11 identified burials, two infants were interred with “helmets” made from the cranial vaults of other juveniles. The additional crania were placed around the heads of the primary burials, likely at the time of burial. All crania exhibited lesions associated with bodily stress. In this report, we present the only known evidence of using juvenile crania as mortuary headgear, either in South America or globally.

Abstract:
At many Middle Neolithic sites in south-central Scandinavia associated with the hunter-gatherer complex known as the Pitted Ware culture, the skulls of humans and animals seem to have been treated differently from other skeletal elements. This is evident, for example, in inhumation graves lacking crania or entire skulls as well as numerous finds of cranial and mandibular fragments scattered in cultural layers or deposited in hearths and pits. Despite parallels in overall treatment and find contexts, the selective handling of human skulls has generally been regarded as a mortuary practice and thus qualitatively different from the handling of animal skulls. Focusing primarily on the head bones themselves and relating their treatment to the wider use of skeletal remains allows us to consider a more complex system of retrieving, modifying, curating and depositing crania and mandibles. Drawing on the overlapping general treatment of human and animal remains, it is suggested that head bones from both humans and animals were efficacious objects that could be used in depositional acts.

Abstract:
Natural selection, developmental constraint, and plasticity have all been invoked as explanations for intraspecific cranial variation in humans and apes. However, global patterns of human cranial variation are congruent with patterns of genetic variation, demonstrating that population history has influenced cranial variation in humans. Here we show that this finding is not unique toHomo sapiensbut is also broadly evident across extant ape species. Specifically, taxa that exhibit greater intraspecific cranial shape variation also exhibit greater genetic diversity at neutral autosomal loci. Thus, cranial shape variation within hominoid taxa reflects the population history of each species. Our results suggest that neutral evolutionary processes such as mutation, gene flow, and genetic drift have played an important role in generating cranial variation within species. These findings are consistent with previous work on human cranial morphology and improve our understanding of the evolutionary processes that generate intraspecific cranial shape diversity within hominoids. This work has implications for the analysis of selective and developmental pressures on the cranium and for interpreting shape variation in fossil hominin crania.

Abstract:
AbstractBeginning with Building 4, each new version of the Moon Pyramid in Teotihuacan was initiated with a major sacrificial event. These events invariably included human victims, males ranging in age from about 14 to 60 or more years (Minimum Number of Individuals (MNI) = 37). Many display cranial modification and dental decoration. In the earliest offering, Burial 2, the lone human was merely one element in a complex tableau. In subsequent sacrifices, the human victims increased in number and became a major focus of the event. There was also a growing dichotomy among them, with numbers of decapitated victims being included in the sacrifices. Skeletal elements from the pyramid fill suggest still other rituals involving human crania (MNI = 11), but the context of these is not yet clear.

Abstract:
Objectives To investigate three-dimensional morphological variation of the occipital bone between sexes and among populations, to determine how ancestry, sex and size account for occipital shape variation and to describe the exact forms by which the differences are expressed. Methods CT data for 214 modern crania of Asian, African and European ancestry were compared using 3D geometric morphometrics and multivariate statistics, including principal component analysis, Hotelling’s T2 test, multivariate regression, ANOVA, and MANCOVA. Results Sex differences in average occipital morphology are only observed in Europeans, with males exhibiting a pronounced inion. Significant ancestral differences are observed among all samples and are shared by males and females. Asian and African crania have smaller biasterionic breadths and flatter clivus angles compared to Europeans. Asian and European crania are similar in their nuchal and occipital plane proportions, nuchal and occipital angles, and lower inion positions compared to Africans. Centroid size significantly differs between sexes and among populations. The overall allometry, while significant, explains little of the shape variation. Larger occipital bones were associated with a more curved occipital plane, a pronounced inion, a narrower biasterionic breadth, a more flexed clivus, and a lower and relatively smaller foramen magnum. Conclusions Although significant shape differences were observed among populations, it is not recommended to use occipital morphology in sex or population estimation as both factors explained little of the observed variance. Other factors, relating to function and the environment, are suggested to be greater contributors to occipital variation. For the same reason, it is also not recommended to use the occiput in phylogenetic studies.

Abstract:
Heavy-lifting machines such as cranes are widely used at ports, construction sites, and manufacturing plants in a variety of material-transporting applications. However, cranes possess inherent flexible dynamics that make fast and precise operation challenging. Most cranes are driven by human operators, which adds another element of complexity. The goal of this thesis is to develop controllers that allow human operators to easily and efficiently control machines with flexible dynamics. To improve the ease of human operation of these machines, various control structures are developed and their effectiveness in aiding the operator are evaluated. Cranes are commonly used to swing wrecking balls that demolish unwanted structures. To aid the operator in such tasks, swing-amplifying controllers are designed and their performance are evaluated through simulations and experiments with real operators. To make maneuvering of these machines in material-transporting operations easier, input-shaping control is used to reduce oscillation induced by operator commands. In the presence of external disturbances, input shaping is combined with a low-authority feedback controller to eliminate unwanted oscillations, while maintaining the human operator as the primary controller of the machine. The performance and robustness of the proposed controllers are thoroughly examined via numerical simulations and a series of experiments and operator studies on a small-scale mobile boom crane and a two-ton dual-hoist bridge crane.

Abstract:
This study investigates the applicability of a number of traditional and newer methods of morphological description to the problem of defining hominoid cranial form. The aim has been to produce an objective assessment of the relative merits of the methods from both a practical and theoretical perspective. The thesis is presented in three parts. In the first, several approaches which offer potential in the description of cranial morphology are reviewed and the phenetic relationships of the crania of extant hominoids are examined using data obtained by a variety of new (shape factors, least squares, and Fourier analysis) and more traditional (dimensions, angles and indices) approaches to morphological description. The analysis concentrates on a comparison of the resulting patterns of group dispositions and on an examination of the ability of the various approaches to allow an accurate determination of the affinities of crania of unknown provenance. The results indicate that there is little difference in the patterns of phcnetic relationships obtained although it appears that the analyses based upon linear and angular measurements and Fourier coefficients provide the widest separation between the groups. The second study employs linear and angular measurements and Fourier coefficients in an examination of within-group cranial variability. In general the results lead to similar conclusions about the patterns of sexual dimorphism in extant hominoid crania and the influence of size on cranial morphology. The analyses of Fourier data differ from those of linear and angular measurements, however, in that purely size related variation is given a smaller weighting relative to morphological variation attributable to other sources. In the third part the fossil record relating to the evolution of Homo is reviewed. The third study employs these same two approaches to morphological description in a study of the patterns of cranial variation between certain fossil hominids. By contrast with the first study the pattern of phenetic relationships between OTUs appears to be considerably influenced by the choice of measurement method although there is a common underlying pattern of group dispositions. The reasons for these differences are considered in the light of the results of multivariate morphometric studies of cranial form undertaken by other workers. From these studies it is concluded that: a) the results obtained by studies employing landmark dependent and data with reduced landmark dependence may differ to some degreea nd that this difference is principally related to differences in the ways in which the various anatomical regions influence the measurements, b) the choice of method for craniometric problems should be determined with due regard for the task at hand, c) the investigator should be aware of the potential pitfalls and advantages of each method in furnishing answers to specific questions, d) the investigator should be aware of the fact that the use of different morphological descriptions may give rise to different results.

Abstract:
As últimas décadas têm apresentado um crescente número de contribuições para o entendimento sobre quando e onde ocorreu o surgimento do Homo sapiens. Modelos baseados nessas evidências, geralmente, sugerem que a gênese dos humanos modernos ocorreu na África, há cerca de 200.000 anos antes do presente, de onde migraram para as outras partes do mundo. Análises da diversidade genética de populações atuais corroboram esse cenário, ao sugerir que, a partir de uma origem única, a espécie foi, gradativamente, perdendo variabilidade à medida que as populações divergiram, espacial e temporalmente, umas das outras e de suas ancestrais africanas. No que se refere especificamente à morfologia craniana, diversos autores sugerem a existência deste mesmo padrão de decréscimo da variabilidade em função do distanciamento em relação a África, embora seja, também, reconhecida entre os especialistas a partição da diversidade craniana humana entre dois padrões fundamentais: um representado pela morfologia similar àquela que caracterizou os primeiros Homo sapiens, antes que o processo de raciação, no sentido de diversificação, tivesse ocorrido, representado pela denominada \"morfologia generalizada\"; e outro representado pelas demais variações morfológicas, correspondendo às populações já diversificadas fora da África, denominada \"morfologia especializada\". Nesse sentido, o entendimento dos processos evolutivos envolvidos nos eventos de diferenciação morfológica gera bastante controvérsia entre os especialistas. Embora a maioria das informações já obtidas aponte para o fato de que a morfologia craniana evoluiu, majoritariamente, por processos estocásticos, algumas evidências sugerem que, ao menos em condições ambientais extremas, algumas regiões anatômicas cranianas específicas tenham uma parcela de sua variabilidade morfológica fixada por seleção natural. Nesse contexto, o objetivo primordial desta pesquisa é caracterizar a evolução da variação craniana humana, abordada a partir de dois tópicos centrais: 1) A investigação da composição, padrão de ocorrência, distribuição e estruturação da diversidade morfológica craniana humana; e, 2) A análise do contexto evolutivo da variação observada no crânio humano, em função de suas características de integração, modularidade e estase evolutiva investigadas a partir da exploração de seus padrões de variância e covariância. Para tanto, foram utilizadas as características métricas cranianas (24 variáveis do protocolo Howells) de 9.287 indivíduos, distribuídos em 161 populações autóctones de dispersão mundial. Apenas indivíduos morfologicamente íntegros constituíram o banco de dados, eliminando qualquer efeito devido à ocorrência de \"missing values\". Informações adicionais às séries presentes no banco de dados foram utilizadas para uma melhor caracterização geográfica e cronológica dessas populações, e que possibilitou o cálculo das distâncias geográficas entre elas e a estratificação dos dados sob diferentes critérios. Bancos de dados complementares, compostos por marcadores moleculares (mtDNA e microssatélites) também foram utilizados para a análise exploratória comparativa de questões específicas. Os resultados obtidos para as análises da composição, distribuição e estruturação da diversidade craniana humana mostram que grupos populacionais particulares, normalmente associados à alguma região geográfica específica, apresentam padrões de diversificação diversos daqueles observados para todas as populações analisadas de maneira conjunta, o que sugere a ocorrência de respostas evolutivas específicas associadas às condições particulares, como seleção, por exemplo. Em relação às investigações do contexto evolutivo da variação observada, inferida pelos padrões de correlação, covariância e modularidade investigados em diferentes agrupamentos populacionais, os resultados gerados demonstraram que, de maneira geral, os padrões de variância/covariância e a magnitude dos padrões de correlação entre os caracteres apresentam-se de maneira estável, com raras exceções ao estado de estase evolutiva predominante. Em suma, os resultados obtidos através das diferentes estratégias empregadas nesta tese reforçam a ideia de que a evolução da morfologia craniana é melhor explicada por um modelo que assuma a ocorrência de diferentes ditames evolutivos, como deriva genética e seleção natural, por exemplo, que, devido ao recente processo de diversificação da espécie apresentam, de maneira generalizada, em estado de estase
The last decades have seen a growing number of contributions to the understanding of when and where was the emergence of Homo sapiens. Models based on this evidence generally suggests that the genesis of modern humans occurred in Africa some 200,000 years before present, where migrated to other parts of the world. Analysis of genetic diversity of current populations corroborate this scenario, suggesting that, from a single source, the species was gradually losing variability as the populations diverged, spatially and temporally, from each other and from their African ancestors. With regard specifically to the cranial morphology, several authors suggest the existence of this same pattern of decreasing variability as a function of distance from Africa, although it is also recognized among experts partition the human cranial diversity between two fundamental patterns: one represented by morphology similar to that characterized the first Homo sapiens before the process raciação in the sense diversifying, occurred, represented by the so-called \"general morphology\" and the other represented by other morphological variations, corresponding to the populations already been diversified Africa, called \"specialized morphology.\" In this sense, understanding the evolutionary processes involved in the events of morphological differentiation generates a lot of controversy among experts. Although most of the information already obtained point to the fact that the cranial morphology evolved mostly by stochastic processes, some evidence suggests that, at least in extreme environmental conditions, some cranial specific anatomical regions have a portion of their morphological variability determined by natural selection. In this context, the primary objective of this research is to characterize the evolution of human cranial variation, approached from two themes: 1) The investigation of the composition, pattern of occurrence, distribution and structuring of human cranial morphological diversity, and, 2) analysis of the context of evolutionary change observed in the human skull, due to its characteristics of integration, modularity and evolutionary stasis investigated from the exploitation of their patterns of variance and covariance. For this, we used the metric cranial characteristics (24 variables protocol Howells) of 9287 individuals distributed in 161 indigenous peoples worldwide dispersion. Only morphologically intact individuals constituted the database, eliminating any effect due to the occurrence of \"missing values\". Additional information on these series in the database were used to better characterize geographic and chronological these populations, and that allowed the calculation of geographical distances between them and the stratification of the data under different criteria. Databases additional compounds by molecular markers (mtDNA and microsatellites) were also used for exploratory comparative analysis of specific issues. The results for the analyzes of the composition, structure and distribution of human cranial diversity show that particular population groups, usually associated with a specific geographic region, provide diversification patterns different from those observed for all populations analyzed jointly, suggesting the occurrence of specific evolutionary responses associated with particular conditions, such as selection, for example. Regarding investigations of evolutionary context of the variation observed, inferred by patterns of correlation, covariance and modularity investigated in different population groups, the results generated showed that, in general, the patterns of variance / covariance and magnitude of correlation patterns between characters are presented in a stable manner, with rare exceptions the state of evolutionary stasis predominant. In summary, the results obtained through the different strategies employed in this thesis reinforce the idea that the evolution of cranial morphology is best explained by a model that assumes the occurrence of different evolutionary dictates, as genetic drift and natural selection, for example, that due to the recent process of diversification of species present in a generalized way, in a state of stasis

Abstract:
It is often very difficult for humans to control cranes due to their inherent oscillatory nature and sluggish response. Tasks are made even harder when the operator moves around the workspace and changes his/her orientation. Traditionally, the driving axes on cranes have been independent of operator orientation and location. When the operators change the direction they are facing, their “Forward” direction is not consistent with “Forward” on the crane control interface. This paper describes two novel ways to reduce this problem and shows their effectiveness in a human operator study.

Abstract:
Payload oscillation inherent to all cranes makes it challenging for human operators to manipulate payloads quickly, accurately, and safely. A new type of crane control interface that allows an operator to drive a crane by moving his or her hand freely in space has been implemented on an industrial bridge crane. An image processing system tracks the movement of a glove worn on the operator’s hand and its position is then used to drive the crane. Matlab simulations of the crane dynamics and hand-motion control were compared with actual experimental data. The results show that a combination of aggressive PD gains and an input shaper is able to generate the desired characteristics of fast payload response and low residual oscillations.

Abstract:
When cranes lift heavy payloads off the ground, the payload may slide or swing sideways unexpectedly. This dangerous motion occurs when the payload is not directly beneath the overhead suspension point of the hoist cable. Given that cable suspension points are usually tens of feet, and perhaps hundreds of feet above the payload, it is very difficult for crane operators to know if the hoist cable is perfectly vertical before they start to lift the payload off the ground. Inevitably, some horizontal motion of the payload will occur at lift off. If an off-center lift creates substantial horizontal motion, then it can create significant hazards for the human operators, the crane, the payload, and the surrounding environment. This paper develops a three-dimensional dynamic model of off-centered lifts. The accuracy of the model is experimentally investigated using a 10-ton bridge crane.

Abstract:
Ballistic-induced traumatic brain injury remains the most severe type of injury with the highest rate of fatality. Yet, its injury biomechanics remains the least understood. Ballistic injury biomechanics studies have been mostly focused on the trunk and extremities using large gelatin blocks with unconstrained boundaries [1, 2]. Results from these investigations are not directly applicable to brain injuries studies because the human head is smaller and the soft brain is enclosed in a relatively rigid cranium. Thali et al. developed a “skin-skull-brain” model to reproduce gunshot wounds to the head for forensic purposes [3]. These studies focused on wound morphology to the skull rather than brain injury. Watkins et al. used human dry skulls filled with gelatin and investigated temporary cavities and pressure change [4]. However, the frame rate of the cine X-ray was too slow to describe the cavity dynamics, and pressures were only quantified at the center of skull. In addition, the ordnance gelatin used in these studies is not the most suitable simulant to model brain material because of differences in dynamic moduli [5]. Sylgard gel (Dow Corning Co., Midland, MI) demonstrates similar behavior as the brain and has been used as a brain surrogate to determine brain deformations under blunt impact loading [6, 7]. Zhang et al. used the simulant for ballistic brain injury and investigated the correlation between temporary cavity pulsation and pressure change [8, 9]. However, the skulls used in these models were not as rigid as the human cranium. The presence of a stronger cranial bone may significantly decrease the projectile velocity and change the kinematics of cavity and pressure distribution in the cranium. In addition, projectiles perforated through the models in these studies. Patients with through-and-through perforating gunshot wounds to the head have a greater fatality rate than patients with non-exit penetrating wounds [10]. Therefore, it is more clinically relevant to investigate non-exit ballistic traumatic brain injuries. Consequently, the current study is designed to investigate the brain injury biomechanics from non-exit penetrating projectile using an appropriately sized and shaped physical head model.

Full text
Abstract:
Oscillation of crane payloads makes it challenging to manipulate payloads quickly, accurately, and safely. The problem is compounded when the payload creates a double-pendulum effect. This paper evaluates an input-shaping control method for reducing double-pendulum oscillations. Human operator performance testing on a 10-ton industrial bridge crane is used to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the method. The tests required the operators to drive the crane numerous times over a period of eight days. Data from these experiments show that human operators perform manipulation tasks much faster and safer with the proposed control scheme. Furthermore, considerably less operator effort is required when input shaping is used to limit the oscillation. These experiments also show that significant learning occurred when operators did not have the aid of input shaping. However, the performance never approached that achieved with input shaping without any training. With input shaping enabled, only moderate learning occurred because operators were able to drive the crane near its theoretical limit during their first tests.

Abstract:
Early studies of cranial kinematics were primarily limited to sagittal plane assessments of motion secondary to impact in volunteers, models, anthropometric dummies and human specimens [1]. With advances in instrumentation and imaging technology, more relevant studies of three dimensional (3-D) motion began to emerge. More complex 3-D head kinematics were first quantified with arrays of precisely positioned multi-axis accelerometers [1]. This evolution in quantitative ability has continued to the present time with the application of high speed motion capture systems and more sophisticated mathematical models.

Abstract:
An infant less than 18 months of age with a skull fracture has a 1 in 3 chance of abuse [1]. While the parietal bone is most often the site of fracture, an abusive situation is difficult to diagnose based on characteristics of the fracture alone [2]. Age of the child is one important factor in determining abuse. Injury biomechanics are often used in the investigation of cases suspected to involve child abuse [3]. In addition to case-based investigations, computer modeling, and test dummies, animal model studies can aid in these investigations. While the relationship between animal studies and human pediatric patients is yet unclear, some animal models have emerged in the current literature. A study by Margulies and Thibault [4] made an attempt to correlate the mechanical behavior of human infant cranial bone to porcine infant cranial bone. The study suggests that weeks of pig age may correlate to months in the human. Yet, an 18 week old pig is considered to be in adolescence. The current study was conducted to determine the mechanical properties of parietal bone and coronal suture in porcine infants of a younger age than previous studies and correlate the bending properties of the bone to existing human data.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper describes a methodology for simulating the virtual assembly of heavy machinery. Heavy machinery or parts are described in this paper as objects too heavy to safely lift with two hands. Virtual assembly of heavy machinery poses special problems that are not seen in assemblies composed of parts easily manipulated with human hands. This paper identifies some of the difficulties associated with real-time virtual assembly of heavy machinery, and proposes methods for addressing these problems. We describe a method for reorganizing the assembly tree outside of traditional CAD systems to better simulate assemblies with numerous parts. This allows the user to control the assembly sequences, which are simulated in the virtual environment without changing the assembly hierarchy of the original CAD model. This paper also proposes methods for simulation of overhead cranes and the physical modeling of crane-part interactions, providing real-time virtual manipulation of heavy objects.

Abstract:
As sandhill crane populations continue to grow in the United States, so too does crop damage, property damage to homeowners, and the risk of crane collisions with aircraft. Whooping crane populations also continue to grow, but with a global population of about 500 individuals (as of 2017), damage is rare and problems often require different solutions due to the species’ endangered status. The sandhill crane (Grus canadensis), is a long-lived, member of the crane family (Gruidae) and the most numerous of the 15 crane species found worldwide. Over the last 50 years, the species has grown from a rarity─ requiring extensive protection─ to an abundant, widespread species. As their populations have increased, so too have their conflicts with people. Both sandhill and whooping cranes are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918. This law strictly prohibits the capture, killing, or possession of sandhill and whooping cranes without proper permits. However, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) can issue depredation permits under this act for the shooting of sandhill cranes that causeagricultural damage or threaten human health and safety. No federal permit is required to use non-lethal management methods to reduce damage by sandhill cranes.

Abstract:
Although many people now have access to more accumulated information than has ever been the case in human existence, we also now face a moment when the proliferation of misinformation, or false or inaccurate information, poses major challenges. In response to these challenges and to build collaboration across disciplines and expertise and a more effective community of learning and practice, the Rita Allen Foundation partnered with RTI International and the Aspen Institute along with Craig Newmark Philanthropies, Democracy Fund, and Burroughs Wellcome Fund to hold the Misinformation Solutions Forum in October 2018 at the Aspen Institute in Washington, DC. This forum brought together academic researchers, technology professionals, data scientists, journalists, educators, community leaders, funders and a set of graduate student fellows to explore promising ideas for curbing the spread of misinformation. We issued an open call for ideas to be featured in the forum that sought interventions focused on reducing behaviors that lead to the spread of misinformation or encouraging behaviors that can lead to the minimization of its influence. Interventions with technological, educational, and/or community-based components were encouraged, as were projects involving science communication, public health and diverse populations. A panel of expert judges assessed submissions through a blind review process; judges included representatives from the Rita Allen Foundation, as well as external institutions such as the Democracy Fund, the National Institutes of Health, the Poynter Institute, First Draft, and academic institutions. Authors developed the essays presented here based on both original submissions and the iterative collaboration process that ensued.
