Postmortem metabolism in porcine skeletal muscle
… near antemortem levels. To maintain ATP levels postmortem, stored glycogen is catabolized to produce ATP through glycolysis and possibly oxidative metabolism. Hydrolysis of the produced ATP acidifies muscle until an ultimate pH is reached. The ultimate pH of meat directly impacts the quality …

Seeing death : portraiture in contemporary postmortem photography
This thesis focuses on the aesthetics of the photographic representation of the actual dead body in Elizabeth Heyert's The Travelers (2004), Pieter Hugo's The Bereaved (2005) and Walter Schels and Beate Lakotta's Life Before Death: Portraits of the Dying (2004). The use of portraiture in each of …

Dating Death: Forensic taphonomy and the postmortem interval
Determining the postmortem interval (PMI) remains one of the most important but challenging factors to establish in a suspicious death investigation. Unfortunately, as time passes current methods lose accuracy and only allow investigators to approximate how long ago death occurred. Bodies interred …

Early postmortem determination of porcine meat quality using Raman spectroscopy
… and to evaluate the potential of early postmortem Raman spectra to predict important meat quality traits. At first, pH and lactate concentration were chosen as indicators as they are known to correlate with the metabolic state of the muscle, which is again closely related to the …

Postmortem energy metabolisms' role in calpain activation, inhibition, and subsequent function
… studied group of proteases involved in postmortem beef tenderization. Tenderness is a critical quality characteristic that significantly influences consumer satisfaction and repeat purchases. Among the various proteolytic systems active in muscle after exsanguination, the calpain system, …

Mechanical Properties Of The Intervertebral Disc As An Estimator Of Postmortem Interval
… 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 mechanical properties of …

Necrobiome Succession in Muscle Tissue as a Potential Indicator of Postmortem Interval
… necrobiome succession and how it relates to postmortem interval through the use of buccal swab and muscle tissue sampling from the arm (deltoid) and thigh (vastus lateralis). The use of muscle tissue samples is a novel means to study bacterial succession during human decomposition. …

Generating Predictive Gene Expression Signatures for Alzheimer's Disease Using Postmortem Brain Tissue
… </strong>This was performed using postmortem brain (PMB) tissue from participants in the Religious Orders Study and Memory and Aging Project (ROSMAP), Mayo Clinic, and Mount Sinai Brain Bank (MSBB) to generate gene expression signatures from six brain regions affected at different …

Postmortem changes in meat quality and myofibrillar protein degradation in turkey breast muscle
… ultimate pH values were selected based on 15 min postmortem (PM) breast muscle pH (rapid-glycolyzing (RG), pH 6.0). One side of each carcass was held near 40°C and immersion chilling was delayed until 110 min PM (DC), while the other side was chilled at 20 min PM (IC). Raw breast meat quality was …

The Postmortem Interval: A Systematic Study of Pig Decomposition in West Central Montana
The postmortem interval (PMI) is an important piece of information used by forensic and criminal investigators 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 …

Postmortem Economies in Art: The Carceral Value and Unrested Labour of Ensouled Museum Collections
The intent of this doctoral research is to provide a theoretical understanding of how value and labour are instrumentalized in museum collections through Eurocentric discourse and its philosophical underpinnings, together with the legal apparatuses of acquisition policies and collection processes, …

5-HT1A receptor expression : Studies in postmortem tissue and characterisation of a model system.
Serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmission is involved in the psychopharmacology of several psychiatric disorders including, depression, anxiety disorders and schizophrenia. The release of 5-HT in neurons is mediated by somatodendritic 5-HT[1A] autoreceptors. The presence of 5-HT[1A] receptor is thought to …

Postmortem image analysis of the human brain to characterize Alzheimer's disease and related dementias
… we introduce and leverage a postmortem whole-hemisphere MRI dataset to link neuropathological markers derived from gold-standard histopathology examination with morphometry measurements derived from structural MRI. This dissertation presents a set of computational image …

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 …
