Group and Individual Identification of Abstract Works of Art
This experiment extends work on group versus individual performance to a new type of induction task; examines effects of ambiguity, information, and instruction on task performance and confidence; and tests the task against the social combination model of a theory of collective induction. …

Improving individual identification of wolves (Canis lupus) using the fundamental frequency and amplitude of their howls: a new survey method
… bioacoustic studies have been able to identify individual mammals from variations in the fundamental frequency (F0) of their vocalizations. Other characteristics of vocalization which encode individuality, such as amplitude, are less frequently used because of problems with background noise and …

Population Frequencies of Phosphoglucomutase (PGM), Adenylate Kinase (AK), and Haptoglobin (Hp) in the Metropolitan Birmingham Area.
Frequently the need to identify or exclude an individual arises in criminal cases. Historically, fingerprinting has been a universally acceptable method of individual identification. Unfortunately, fingerprints are not always found at the crime scene ; therefore, other methods for identification of …

Novel methods for enhancing accuracy and stability of power hardware-in-the-loop simulations
… within PHIL has been established, by which individual identification of time delay sources as well as time delay dynamics within the different components are reviewed. As a result, variable time delay has been identified within these configurations and mitigation techniques for the time …

The influence of habitat features and co-occurring species on puma (Puma concolor) occupancy across eight sites in Belize, Central America
… of distinctive markings on their coats prevents individual identification, precluding mark-recapture and other similar analyses. Further, compared to temperate areas, research on the interspecific interactions of Central American felids is particularly lacking. I used single- and multi-season, …

Human provenancing - combined isotopic and genetic profiling of limited bone and teeth material of ancient human remains
… identify and to trace the origin and movement of individuals is of major interest in forensics, archaeology and anthropology. To date, DNA profiling is still the most effective approach for human identification. Despite the success story of DNA profiling, there is a constant search for additional …
