Critical analysis of the factors affecting the "cranial suture aging method" using the Hamann Todd Collection
DownloadFall 2014
Cranial suture closure has been regarded as an unreliable method for age estimation due to the large amount of variability in the commencement, progression and termination of fusion. A preliminary study done on the J.C.B. Grant Collection (University of Toronto; Toronto, Ontario) showed that...

An Evaluation of Embalmed Cadaveric Human Tissue in the Investigation of Multiple Freeze and Thaw Cycles on the Histological Morphology of Human Bone
DownloadFall 2012
Our understanding of the myriad of possible taphonomic agents acting on remains in a forensic context has dramatically increased over the last two decades (Haglund and Sorg, 2002); however, the effects of cold temperature on the microstructure of bone tissue are still not well understood. Recent...

Many runway capacity estimation models are available today, and developers usually claim that their models have been validated. However, information about the validation process is often limited, and different models are validated at differing levels of complexity. This paper proposes two...

Osteology, Taxonomy, Phylogeny, and Body Shape Changes of Eocene Catostomid and Problematic Catostomid Fishes
DownloadFall 2016
Extant catostomid fishes occupy diverse aquatic ecosystems and niches in North America (NA). Less than 3% of catostomid taxonomic richness, or two species, are found outside of NA in Asia. Such adjunct and unbalanced distribution pattern has been established since the late Oligocene, when...

Ceratopsidae is a group of non-avian dinosaurs known for their distinctive cranial ornamentation and horns. This ornamentation has become the focal point of ceratopsid research and therefore has led to a state of affairs in ceratopsid palaeontology in which taxa are diagnosed on the basis of...
