Quantifying spatial association between mineral deposits and geology across three African crustal segments of different age, with implication for secular change in mineralization during earth history
… the continental crust may be one way to test for secular changes in crustal genesis. This study collates and analyses fundamental information about mineral deposits with which to 'fingerprint' the metal endowment of African crust of different age. Three areas of juvenile African crust (e.g. mantle …

The Importance of Individual and Population Variation to Human Stature Estimation
Human stature estimation is a central part of forensic anthropological investigation. It is one of several factors used to identify unknown individuals. The statistical relationship between body length and body segment length allows for long bone lengths from an unidentified individual to be used …
