Human interparietal bones: Examination of existing classification schemes and development of a graphic library depicting variations

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Examples from the graphic library depicting morphologies of interparietal bones, ossicles at lambda, mendosal sutures, and intrasutural ossicles. Abstract Due to its complex ossification during development, the superior region of the human occipital bone is a frequent site of supernumerary bones known as interparietal bones.

Quantum entanglement and anthropology [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
We find that the set of local quantum operations and classical communication for multiparty quantum states can be considered as analogous to online meetings between members of a population. Moreover, monotonicity properties of quantum and classical correlations of quantum states of shared systems also carry over to relations between members of the ...

A SNaPshot Assay for Epigenetic Age Prediction of Costal Cartilage

open access: yesELECTROPHORESIS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Estimating age at death narrows the pool of potential donors in mass disasters and criminal investigations. In this study, we developed a capillary electrophoresis‐based SNaPshot assay for age prediction of costal cartilage and used it to analyze DNA methylation at 11 CpG sites across six genes in 136 samples from deceased Koreans aged 28–84 ...
