INVESTIGATION OF DEAD OCEAN QUAHOGS (ARCTICA ISLANDICA) SHELLS ON THE MID-ATLANTIC BIGHT CONTINENTAL SHELF
… resources for studying climate change over time. Recently, dead ocean quahog shells were discovered south and inshore of the present biogeographic range of this animal. The presence of ocean quahog shells outside the current range is presumably a consequence of past regressions and …

Mechanical Properties Of The Intervertebral Disc As An Estimator Of Postmortem Interval
… forensic scientists are only able to determine time since death (or postmortem interval) up to the first 60 hours. This is based largely on insect activity. Herein, it is proposed to use the degradation of the intervertebral disc (IVD) after death to determine a relationship between the …

Defining Postmortem Changes in Western Montana: The Effects of Climate and Environment on the Rate and Sequence of Decomposition Using Pig (Sus scrofa) Cadavers
… permits forensic anthropologists to estimate time since death for remains from the forensic context. Preliminary research conducted in western Montana indicates that decomposition does not follow the patterns found in other geographic locations. The purpose of this study is to better define …

The Postmortem Interval: A Systematic Study of Pig Decomposition in West Central Montana
… to help investigate crimes and other unattended deaths. Time since death estimations assist law enforcement in providing a reference with which to compare a suspects alibi, identify victims of crime, and solve cases. Studies of decomposition have been conducted at the University of Tennessee’s …

DEFINING POSTMORTEM CHANGES IN WESTERN MONTANA: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF THE RATE AND SEQUENCE OF SURFACE AND BURIAL DECOMPOSITION
Estimating time since death is difficult because of the multitude of factors that can alter postmortem change. Initial research conducted in western Montana indicates that decomposition does not follow the patterns found in other geographic locations. The purpose of this study is to better define …

TEMPERATURE VARIATION IN MARQUETTE, MICHIGAN, CONCERNING SKELETAL MUSCLE DEGRADATION PATTERNS FOR POSTMORTEM INTERVAL DETERMINATION
<p>Postmortem interval (PMI), or time since death, is regularly estimated in criminal investigations. Biochemistry methods can estimate PMI by analyzing changes in protein breakdown within muscle tissue. Observing protein degradation has been proposed as a new method of PMI estimation due to …

Investigating the current scope and potential of forensic entomology in decomposition cases at Salt River Mortuary, Cape Town, South Africa
… at Salt River Mortuary (SRM). With prolonged time since death and increased decomposition, entomological evidence becomes increasingly important in the estimation of minimum post-mortem interval. Currently no standard protocol exists for the handling of entomological evidence by SRM personnel …
