This paper evaluates research in Forensic Anthropology (FA) in order to report on the state of this field of science. In particular, we carried out a review of all PubMed-listed scientific studies in the past decades using "forensic anthropology" as the keyword. In our "meta-analysis", we observed variation in the number of publications per 2-year interval throughout the study period. In total,...

Mastering audio is a complicated yet important step in music production. It is used for many purposes, an important one is to ensure a typical loudness for a piece of music within its genre. In order to automate this step we use a statistical model of the dynamic section. To allow a statistical approach we need to introduce some modifications to the compressor’s side-chain or more precisely to ...

Abstract The study prepares glass fiber reinforced composites through Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion (VARI) process, selects fibers of different specifications, and studies the effects lay-up mode, thickness, simulated normal incident angle, temperature s on their ballistic performance. Results show that with slimmer monofilament, materials perform better in ballistics; mode has limited influen...

Since antiquity, some men have not been considered accountable for their actions when they transgressed the law, and were exempted from legal penalties, or given lesser ones. Why? The rationale for legal exemption has varied over time. So have the labels assigned to such lawbreakers, and even the personnel involved in the labelling process. For centuries, settling the question of deviant mental...

When the dimensions of a metallic conductor are reduced so that they become comparable to the de Broglie wavelengths of the conduction electrons, the absence of scattering results in ballistic electron transport and the conductance becomes quantized. In ferromagnetic metals, the spin angular momentum of the electrons results in spin-dependent conductance quantization and various unusual magneto...
