    Decomposition and entomological colonization of charred bodies – a pilot study

    Aim To use forensic entomological approach to estimate the post mortem interval (PMI) in burnt remains. Methods Two experiments were performed in a field in the outskirts of Milan, in winter and summer 2007. Four 60- kg pigs were used: two for each experiment. One pig carcass was burnt until it reached the level 2-3 of the Glassman- Crow scale and the not-burnt carcass was used as a control. In order to describe the decomposition process and to collect the data useful for minimum PMI estimation, macroscopic, histological, and entomological analyses were performed. Results In the winter part of the experiment, the first insect activity on the burnt carcass began in the third week (Calliphora vomitoria) and at the beginning of the fourth week an increase in the number of species was observed. In the summer part, adult flies and first instar maggots (Phormia regina) appeared a few minutes/hours after the carcass exposure. Both in winter and summer, flies belonging to the first colonization wave (Calliphoridae) appeared on burnt and control pigs at the same time, whereas other species (Diptera and Coleoptera) appeared earlier on burnt pigs. Conclusion In forensic practice, burnt bodies are among the most neglected fields of entomological research, since they are supposed to be an inadequate substratum for insect colonization. Entomological approach for PMI estimation proved to be useful

    A unified multiscale vision of behavioral crowds

    This paper proposes a multiscale vision to human crowds which provides a consistent description at the three possible modeling scales, namely, microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic. The proposed approach moves from interactions at the microscopic scale and shows how the same modeling principles lead to kinetic and hydrodynamic models. Hence, a unified framework is developed which permits to derive models at each scale using the same principles and similar parameters. This approach can be used to simulate crowd dynamics in complex environments composed of interconnected areas, where the most appropriate scale of description can be selected for each area. This offers a pathway to the development of a multiscale computational model which has the capability to optimize the granularity of the description depending on the pedestrian local flow conditions. An important feature of the modeling at each scale is that the complex interaction between emotional states of walkers and their motion is taken into account

    Quanti capi ha il muscolo quadricipite? : nuove scoperte

    Nello studio dell’anatomia si è abituati a pensare che l’anatomia sia una scienza “ferma” e che le conoscenze del corpo umano si siano esaurite durante gli studi universitari: in realtà è una scienza in continua evoluzione, tanto che negli ultimi anni sono stati scoperti elementi di cui prima non si era a conoscenza. Per esempio, sembrerebbe che il muscolo quadricipite non sia effettivamente composto da quattro capi, ma da cinque, o così almeno in una certa percentuale di soggetti. Una curiosità interessante.In the study of anatomy, we have become accustomed to thinking that anatomy is a “non-evolving” science and that one’s knowledge of the human body is completed and full by the end of one’s university studies. In actual fact, it is a science that is constantly evolving, so much so that in recent years new elements have been uncovered that before were unknown. For example, it would seem that the quadriceps muscle does not actually consist of four heads, but of five, or so at least in a certain proportion of individuals. An interesting curiosity
