Many approaches exist for alphanumeric data acquisition from images, however very few make mention of engraved text and none to the knowledge of the author make mention of cemetery headstones. The ability to extract the textual information found on headstones is of great importance due to the valuable historical information that is, in most cases, authoritative and unique to that stone. Multipl...

Contact with the bodies and fluids of persons who have died of Ebola is especially common...

The funeral service was held in Paris at the La Salpêtrière Hospital, and Charcot was buried in Montmartre cemetery in the same city.

Computer modelling can provide better information on building projects presented in two dimensional drawings but never built. A cemetery project in Denmark was formed as a solid model in its sloping landscape using Softimage. Boolean operations were used to position walls at a given height above the terrain. More accurate still and video images were made and compared with original sketches.

Methods Investigation of genetic matching of individuals from a “double burial” and of individuals with shared cranial non-metric/ metric traits from 2 single inhumations, located in another block of the cemetery complex, was carried out. DNA from four teeth samples was extracted, quantified, and amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for short tandem repeat loci, using AmpFlSTR ProfilerT...

Clustering is the unsupervised classification of patterns (data items, observations or feature vectors) into groups (clusters). Clustering problem has been addressed by the researchers of many disciplines in different contexts. Due to the escalating amount of data available online, the World Wide Web has become one of the most precious resource for information retrievals and knowledge discoveri...

T patient was a 49-year-old man with no significant past medical history, normal body mass index, and normal oral/ nasal airway anatomy, who presented with a 4-month history of episodic loss of consciousness while working as a cemetery caretaker. The patient lost consciousness while using a riding lawnmower at the cemetery during his morning landscaping duties; this caused him to lean forward i...
