of a Master's Thesis in Human Biology at the University of Indianapolis filed June 2000 Dr. Stephen P. Nawrocki, Chair Dr. Christopher W. Schmidt, Reader Of the many factors that affect buried remains, one that is particularly pertinent to forensic studies is the inclusion of lime in a burial. It would seem that assailants believe that lime accelerates the decomposition of soft tissues in burie...

The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) is a well known burrower, but individuals spend the majority of their time above ground foraging for soil organisms by repeatedly digging pits through the soil surface. Little ichnological attention has been given to these foraging pits even though their great prevalence within the geographic range of extant armadillos implies that they might hav...

BORED-HOLE ABSORPTION PITS By Rai Sahib KASHI PRASAD, m.b., b.s., d.p.h. Medical Officer, In-charge Health Unit, Parlabgarh Definition.?A bored-hole absorption pit is a hole 20 feet in depth and 16 inches in diameter, bored with a machine known as a boring outfit. A limited amount of sullage water is absorbed and disposed of by it every day. History.?Bored holes, which were originally introduce...

Academic economists today are caught in a ‘‘Publication Impossibility Theorem System’’ or PITS. In order to further their careers, they are required to publish in A-journals, but for the vast majority this is impossible because there are few slots open for them in such journals. Such academic competition maybe useful to generate hard work; however, there may be serious negative consequences: th...

Cleft lip or palate and lower lip pits are typical features of the autosomal dominantly inherited Van der Woude syndrome. Limb defects have not been reported in this syndrome so far. A girl with a unilateral complete cleft lip and palate, bilateral lower lip pits, and amniotic deformities of all four limbs is reported and the possibility of chance occurrence of cleft lip and palate, lower lip p...

This work presents a reaction-transport model for pit propagation coupled with phase field method to the moving boundary at corroding surface. enables numerical simulations of simultaneous multiple pits in close proximity each other study interactions between under galvanostatic conditions, limited applied currents. Results show formation lacy covers over stainless steel, which is due undercutt...

for 2003, it’s almost a requirement to reflect on the year gone by. By many accounts, 2002 will be known as the year of reports. The most influential report belongs to the Romanow Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada; the most pragmatic, the final report of the Canadian Nursing Advisory Committee; and the most flamboyant release, Senator Kirby’s Final Report of Federal Role in Heal...
