BackgroundTraumatic brain injury (TBI) may be a risk factor for criminal behaviour however multiple factors potentially confound the association.MethodsRecord linkage and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to examine the association between hospital-recorded TBI (n = 7,694) and subsequent first criminal Container Set conviction
In this study we use visible, short-wave infrared and thermal Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data validated with high-resolution Quickbird (QB) and Worldview2 (WV2) for mapping debris cover in the eastern Himalaya using two independent approaches: (a) a decision tree algorithm, and (b) texture analysis.The de
The aim of this paper is to verify the influence of composition variability of recycled aggregates (RA) of construction and demolition wastes (CDW) on the performance of concretes.Performance was evaluated building mathematical models for compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and drying shrinkage.To obtain such models, an experimental program
The genus Brassica includes some of the most important vegetable and oil crops worldwide.Many Brassica seeds (which can show diagnostic characters useful for species identification) were recovered from two archaeological sites in northern Italy, dated from between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.We tested the combined use of archaeobotanical ke
