Understanding bone trauma characteristics is a fundamental component of forensic
investigations that can assist in understanding the nature of blunt trauma related deaths. The …

Ceramic materials such as calcium phosphates (CaPs) with a composition similar to the
mineral phase of bones and polymeric polylactic acid (PLA) are potential candidates for the …

The present work studies the bending and torsional rigidities for the femur when having a
defect. The main objective of this study is to compare the stiffness of femur bone with and …

Calibrating human population dispersals across Earth's surface is fundamental to assessing
rates and timing of anthropogenic impacts and distinguishing ecological phenomena …

Fracture pattern acquisition and representation in human bones play a crucial role in
medical simulation, diagnostics, and treatment planning. This article presents a …

Loxodonta africana bones are repeatedly trampled when deposited at localities where
elephant traffic is frequent, such as water sources and mineral licks. This paper discusses …

Whereas gunshot injuries in human craniums have been well studied, reliable data on
fracture patterns in ballistic long bone trauma remains scarce. Further information useful for …

Experimentation has always played an important role in archeology, in particular to create
reference collections for use-wear studies. Different types of experiments can answer …

This work focuses on the analysis of structural and functional properties of calcium
phosphate (CaP) incorporated bacterial cellulose (BC)-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) based …

Paleopathological diagnoses provide key information on the macroevolutionary origin of
disease as well as behavioral and physiological inferences that are inaccessible via direct …
