The mathematical versus anatomical methods of stature estimate from long bones

The mathematical and anatomical methods of estimating living stature from long limb bones are discussed. In forensic cases, when one has a nearly complete skeleton, the anatomical method is preferable to the mathematical method. The anatomical method may also be used to derive stature estimation equations in samples where living statures or cadaver lengths are unavailable, such as some dissection hall and museum collections.     

A new method for detecting diatoms in human organs

A new method for diatom detection is described. It includes an ultrasonic irradiation procedure with the use of a tissue solubilizer. The method is easy to carry out and is less time-consuming than previous techniques.     

A MUNICIPAL LAND POOLING PROJECT IN PERTH

Planning control of urban land use in most of the Australian States is by the planning scheme system and is authorized by legislation based on the English Town and Country Planning Act, 1932. Under this system each planning authority prepares a land use zoning and reservation plan designed to accommodate the forecast urban growth. It then reviews and regulates the proposals for urban development projects as they are brought forward to ensure that they conform to the plan.
