Yersinia pestis caused plagues and haunted Gdańsk several times during the 15th 16th centuries. This study focuses on following demographic effects: 1/ distributions of deceased by age in a plagued city, 2/ parameters life tables, 3/ estimation natural increase. To assess genetic effects plague, measures opportunity for selection were considered. Skeletal remains 283 people from – century ossua...

introduction: determining the skeletal age and remaining growth potential of patients are important factors in orthodontic treatment. evaluating cervical vertebrae development is a reliable method for determining skeletal age. this study aimed to evaluate the correlation between dental calcification and stages of skeletal maturation. materials and methods: this descriptive cross-sectional study...

this paper deals with the preliminary observations of the analysis conducted on the faunal remains unearthed at thesite of shikarpur. a single trench es4 was selected as a research sample from the excavation conducted by thedepartment of archaeology and ancient history; m.s. university of baroda, gujarat state, india in 2007-08. atotal of 6250 skeletal fragments were analysed of which only 3219...

background : forensic odontology is that branch of dentistry which plays a vital role with regard to anthropological studies and human identification. in the cases of mass disasters or cases where only the skeletal remains are found, bones and teeth will be the only source of information for the identification of the dead.  any aberrations or any variations from the normality become a distincti...

Bone age is an indicator of bone maturity and useful for the treatment different pediatric conditions as well legal issues. can be assessed by analysis skeletal segments teeth through several methods; however, traditional assessment a complicated time-consuming process, prone to inter- intra-observer variability. There high demand fully automated systems, but creating accurate reliable solution...

Non-rigid mutual information (MI) based image registration is prone to converge to local optima due to Parzen or histogram based density estimation used in conjunction with estimation of a high dimensional deformation field. We describe an approach for non-rigid registration that uses the log-likelihood of the target image given the deformed template as a similarity metric, wherein the distribu...
