Abstract:

With the progression of multivariate statistics, the creation of population specific equations is on the rise. Multivariate analysis generally revolves around metric methods or geometric morphometrics, not on morphoscopic features. A total of eight samples were analysed spanning from prehistoric American to modern day South African and ranged between pygmy populations from the Andaman Islands to medieval British populations. With a sample size of more than 1100 individuals, each os coxa was scored using eight morphoscopic features most commonly used by physical anthropologists and osteoarchaeo

Abstract:

Sex estimation is a fundamental component of demographic information for skeletal collections. When collections are undocumented, it is important to have established and accurate methods to determine sex. Many methods have been used since the 1800s. These methods, both morphological and metric, primarily focus on estimating sex on the pelvis, cranium, mandible, humerus and femur. The aim of this research is to establish which types of methods and which major bones are the most accurate for identifying sex in skeletons, especially when the pelvis is in poor condition or missing.

Abstract:

Identifying the sex of unknown individual remains is the first task an anthropologist undertakes towards creating a biological profile. Most bones within the human skeleton have been analysed and determined to be sexually dimorphic. As such, forensic anthropometric standards have been developed in order to aid investigators in the estimation of sex of an individual. The issue investigators have is the lack of population-specific standards available across geographically diverse populations. Similarly, there is a lack of population-specific knowledge pertaining to bones not usually examined in

Sex estimation of skeletal remains is one of the major components of forensic identification of unknown individuals. Teeth are a potential source of information on sex and are often recovered in archaeological or forensic contexts due to their post-mortem longevity. Currently there is limited data on dental sexual dimorphism of archaeological populations from Iran. This dissertation represents the first study to provide a dental sex estimation method for Iron Age populations.

The order of presentation of those intervals was randomized across participants but yoked across the sexes in each of the respective dominant hand groups.

Abstract:

Sex estimation in bioarchaeological research is paramount for comparative analyses of skeletal remains and developing estimates of other demographic variables. Frequently, sex is estimated utilizing the morphology of pelvic and cranial bones in archaeological skeletal samples. Regrettably, these bones are often damaged, destroyed, or lost and cannot be employed for the estimation of sex. Fortunately, a variety of metric and visual sex estimation methods have been developed on modern skeletal samples with known demography.

For this reason, studies have been focused on living populations. Previous

Abstract:

<p> Biological sex estimation has been a central tenant in physical anthropology and bioarchaeology since the foundation of the fields. Traditionally, sex estimation techniques have centered on pelvic morphology but features of the pelvis are often poorly preserved in forensic and archaeological contexts. However, teeth have very high preservation potential. Because the crown is susceptible to ante- and postmortem damage, the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) provides a more often preserved portion of the tooth. Several studies have shown the potential use of measurements of the CEJ in biological s

Abstract:

Graphs are a commonly used abstraction for diverse kinds of interactions, e.g., on Twitter and Facebook. Different kinds of topological properties of such graphs are computed for gaining insights into their structure. Computing properties of large real networks is computationally very challenging. Further, most real world networks are dynamic, i.e., they change over time. Therefore there is a need for efficient dynamic algorithms that offer good space-time trade-offs. In this thesis we study the problem of computing the reachability set size of a vertex, which is a fundamental problem, with

Abstract:

<p>The use of near Earth space has increased dramatically in the past few decades, and operational satellites are an integral part of modern society. The increased presence in space has led to an increase in the amount of orbital debris, which poses a growing threat to current and future space missions. Characterization of the debris environment is crucial to our continued use of high value orbit regimes such as the geosynchronous (GEO) belt. Objects in GEO pose unique challenges, by virtue of being densely spaced and tracked by a limited number of sensors in short observation windows. Thi
