Efficacy of entomological method in estimation of postmortem interval: a comparative analysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sixteen insect-infested cadavers were examined and analysed to evaluate the reliability of the entomological method in estimation of time elapsed since death, in relation to other medico-legal approaches. The entomological method was found statistically more reliable and superior when compared to other prevalent methods.

Estimation of Postmortem Interval Using Arthropod Development and Successional Patterns.
Insects are frequently the first organisms to arrive at a dead body. By their activities they begin a biological clock that will allow for an estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI). In this publication, the two general approaches to estimation of the PMI using entomological data are reviewed: (a) use of individual species developmental patterns; and (b) use of arthropod succession data. Re...
متن کاملBayes Interval Estimation on the Parameters of the Weibull Distribution for Complete and Censored Tests
A method for constructing confidence intervals on parameters of a continuous probability distribution is developed in this paper. The objective is to present a model for an uncertainty represented by parameters of a probability density function. As an application, confidence intervals for the two parameters of the Weibull distribution along with their joint confidence interval are derived. The...
متن کاملApproximating Bayes Estimates by Means of the Tierney Kadane, Importance Sampling and Metropolis-Hastings within Gibbs Methods in the Poisson-Exponential Distribution: A Comparative Study
Here, we work on the problem of point estimation of the parameters of the Poisson-exponential distribution through the Bayesian and maximum likelihood methods based on complete samples. The point Bayes estimates under the symmetric squared error loss (SEL) function are approximated using three methods, namely the Tierney Kadane approximation method, the importance sampling method and the Metrop...
متن کاملSTR typing of human DNA from fly larvae fed on decomposing bodies.
In homicides with entomological evidence, it may be important to prove the presumed association of fly larvae to a corpse, especially if it is in doubt whether all maggots used for entomological expertise developed and fed on it. The present study demonstrates for the first time the possibility of analyzing human microsatellite DNA present in the digestive tract of necrophagous larvae that fed ...
متن کاملEstimation of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield limiting factors using comparative performance analysis (CPA) method in Khorramshahr region in Iran
One way to increase crop yield per unit of area is to close the gap between actual and potential yield in cropping systems. This study was conducted to determine the factors that affeced wheat yield gap in Khorramshahr, Iran during 2018-2019 growing season. In this study 60 fields of different areas under cultivation, field management practices and grain yield yield levels were surveyed based o...
