Sex determination of fragmentary crania by analysis of the cranial base
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1986AbstractThe cranial base can be used to determine the sex of fragmentary or deformed skulls. An initial study used nine measurements taken from 100 crania in the Terry Collection. The sample was divided equally by race and sex. Six regression models were formulated that predicted correctly the sex of the sample with 71–90% accuracy. In a separate test,

A comparative analysis of vertebrate sex determination.
Novartis Foundation symposium, 2002Sex determination in vertebrates is controlled by a variety of mechanisms. We compared the expression of SF1, DAX1, DMRT1, SOX9 and AMH during gonadogenesis in the mouse, chicken and alligator embryo. In contrast to the expression profile of Sf1 in mouse embryos, chicken and alligator embryos show higher levels of Sf1 expression in the developing ...

Sex determination of finnish crania by discriminant function analysis
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1966AbstractUsing multivariant discriminant function analysis, the sex of 232 Finnish crania of known sex was determined. Eight measurements were used to form two discriminant functions. In 80% of cases the sex determination by means of the discriminant functions was identical with the original information.

[Discriminant analysis of the mandible for sex determination].
Zeitschrift fur Rechtsmedizin. Journal of legal medicine, 1985Seventeen measuring parameters were used to characterize 197 mandibles (109 males, 88 females) taken from the corpses of people 20-80 years of age from the Rhine-Main-Neckar area. The representative measuring parameters and discriminating functions of intact lower jaws and lower jaw fragments of most frequent fracture types were determined in this ...

Sex determination by discriminant function analysis of lateral cranial form
Forensic Science International, 1992To sex the cranium, morphological features of cranial specimens were quantified with a personal computer that automatically measures distance and gradient for 39 craniometric points in the lateral contour line of the skull, which were digitized by a tablet digitizer connected to the computer. Specimens used for discriminant analysis were 50 male and 50

Sex determination of a Tunisian population by CT scan analysis of the skull
International Journal of Legal Medicine, 2017It is widely accepted that the estimation of biological attributes in the human skeleton is more accurate when population-specific standards are applied. With the shortage of such data for contemporary North African populations, it is duly required to establish population-specific standards.

Sex determination from the pubis by discriminant function analysis
Forensic Science International, 1995A total of 122 adult human pubes (66 males and 56 females) are used in this study of a discriminant function analysis for determining sex from four pubic measurements: the angle formed by the middle line of the superior ramus and inferior ramus of pubis (in degrees, X1), subpubic angle (in degrees, X2), the minimum distance from the symphyseal surface ...

Ancestral state reconstruction analysis of hymenopteran sex determination mechanisms
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2009AbstractWe provide the first phylogenetic evidence supporting complementary sex determination (CSD) as the ancestral mechanism for haplodiploidy in the Hymenoptera. It is currently not possible, however, to distinguish the evolutionary polarity of single locus (sl) CSD and multiple‐locus (ml) CSD given the available data.

Determination of Sex by Discriminant Function Analysis of Postcranial Skeletal Measurements
Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1979Abstract Techniques for accurately determining the sex of skeletal material are invaluable to workers concerned with the identification of human remains. Well-known methods that have been employed include traditional qualitative evaluations of morphological characteristics and statistical analyses of metrical data [1–10].

Sex determination from the sternal end of the rib by osteometric analysis
Legal Medicine, 2003The aim of this study was to establish a sample group of Turkish population to determine sex from the sternal end of the ribs. Sex determination from the human skeleton bones is a simple and specific method.The specimens consisted of right fourth (4th) ribs of 78 females and 173 males of known age, sex and race during 1994-1997 in Izmir, Turkey.
