A study into the use of micro-CT to ascertain the age at death of an individual. Introduction Age Estimation Often upon the discovery of skeletal remains‚ one of the most important steps in producing a biological profile of the deceased is to estimate a probable age-at-death range‚ the sex‚ ethnicity and stature of the individual (Franklin 2010). There are many different methods of doing this‚ depending on whether the skeleton is juvenile or adult. When aging a juvenile skeleton‚ there are many

CIVIL ENGINEERING ESTIMATES An estimate is a calculation of the quantities of various items of work‚ and the expenses likely to be incurred there on. The total of these probable expenses to be incurred on the work is known as estimated cost of the work. The estimated cost of a work is a close approximation of its actual cost. The agreement of the estimated cost with the actual cost will depend on accurate use of estimating methods and correct visualization of the work‚ as it will be done. Importance

Methods of Estimation of flood discharge 4.1 Introduction After estimating the change in rainfall‚ as described in chapter 3‚ the next step is to convert that rainfall change into a flood flow (an amount of water flowing in a river). This chapter looks at both screening and advanced tools that can be used to help river managers estimate changes in flood flows. Historical data and ongoing data campaigns are vital components of any forecasts of flood flows. Although climate change means that future

Estimator (MLE) is formulated to iteratively find the optimal calibration parameters that best fit to the onboard sensor readings‚ without requiring external attitude references. It is shown that the proposed calibration technique is equivalent to the estimation of a rotation‚ scaling and translation transformation‚ and that the sensor alignment matrix is given by the solution of the orthogonal Procrustes problem. Good initial conditions for the iterative algorithm are obtained by a suboptimal batch least

A point estimation is a sample statistic that gives a good guess about a population parameter. In the same way‚ a point estimate of the mean overpayment is simply a good guess about what the average overpayment for the population is. Investigating all 1‚000 claims and obtaining the overpayment amount for each would either be impractical‚ unfeasible or both. Thus‚ the auditor deems a sample size of 50 claims to be adequate and sufficiently representative of the entire population. The mean overpayment

Bartlett method‚ Welch method. I. INTRODUCTION SPECTRUM ESTIMATION is an important application of the Digital Signal Processing. Spectral analysis is used in many applications such as to get the target location and its velocity information in the radar applications [9]. In general many practical applications such as Ocean noise‚ Wind speed give a time series data [10]. This data can be analyzed using spectral analysis. Spectrum estimation is a problem that involves estimating the power spectrum
