Subadult Cortical Bone Analysis As An Indicator of Childhood Health Status Among the Tipu Maya Population
… analyzed for cortical area using the software BoneJ. It was expected that overall the reduced cortical bone maintenance would be seen as the result of the protein-deficient maize diet and differences by burial location might be present.</p> <p>The results of this study exhibited a generally …

Efficacy and safety of a new genetically modified phytase for improving dietary phosphorus utilization of swine and poultry
… both middle toes for turkeys were removed for bone analysis. In pigs performance, bone measurements, and digestibilities of P and Ca increased as levels of phytase increased. Concentration of P and Ca in the feces decreased as dietary phytase increased. In turkeys, BW gain and toe ash increased …

In vivo imaging of cortical porosity by synchrotron phase contrast micro computed tomography
Cortical bone is a dynamic tissue which undergoes adaptive and pathological changes throughout life. An improved understanding of the spatio-temporal process of remodeling holds great promise for improving our understanding of bone development, maintenance and senescence. The use of micro-computed …

On the Edge of a Knife; The Early Migration into Middle Tennessee and the Heroine Charlotte Reeves Robertson
… about scalping that recent advances in bone analysis have helped clarify. In fact, scalping was done worldwide in one fashion or another from as early as 200 BC. Scalping is a well-studied phenomenon and, as bone analysis has developed scientifically, scalping has become much easier to …

Relationship between diabetes and bone health status in adults with diabetes
Studies of bone density and diabetes have relatively strong evidence to suggest that type 1 diabetes has negative impacts on bone mass density; however, there seems to be more discrepancy in skeletal effects of type 2 diabetes. While many studies have shown normal to high BMD values in individuals …

Analysis of trabecular bone mechanical properties from magnetic resonance images
Bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is often used in the clinical diagnosis of bone disorders such as osteoporosis. However, several studies have shown that measuring BMD alone does not provide sufficient discrimination between individuals with and without …

From Bones to Bytes
The digital acquisition of animal bone remains opens up new possibilities for reproducible computational analyses in archaeozoology. This thesis combines computer science, morphometrics, and archaeozoology in a unified framework spanning tabular osteometric data, landmark-based morphology, and …

A comparative microscopic study of human and non-human long bone histology.
… of forensic cases. Identification of bone can be difficult, especially in fragmented remains. It has been reported that 25 to 30% of medicolegal cases, which involved nonhuman skeletal remains have been mistaken for human. In such cases, histomorphometric method was used to identify …

Analysis of the Physical and Physiological Events Resulting from Caloric Irrigation of the Human Temporal Bone
Analysis of results obtained from caloric tests showed that, on average, a significant sequential response decline was present for the four caloric responses. The effect of this decline was to produce an 'apparent 1 canal paresis of 4% of the second ear to be irrigated. There was no significant …
