Secondary sex estimation using morphological traits from the cranium and mandible: application to two Merovingian populations from Belgium by Bérénice Chevalier, Frédéric Santos, Caroline Polet, Sébastien Villotte

“…However, by using morphological traits of the cranium and the mandible as part of a secondary sex estimation, we were able to estimate the sex of a relatively large number of individuals with a minimum reliability of 95%. Our study thus illustrates the value of using morphological characteristics of the skull for a secondary sex estimation conducted with a reliable statistical method.…”

Synthetic Cannabinoid Abuse and a Rare Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Mutant Causing Acute Fulminant Hepatitis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature by Kurt J. Knowles, Eric X. Wei, Abhishek Seth, John Bienvenu, James Morris, Kenneth Manas, Paul Jordan, Moheb Boktor

“…This mutant phenotype has never been reported as a cause of A-1-AT disease and the abuse of SCs in a patient with this phenotype has also never been reported. This case illustrates the possible need to expand routine drug testing for SCs and consider A-1-AT phenotyping in certain clinical scenarios.…”

Fuzzy Constrained Probabilistic Inventory Models Depending on Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers by Mona F. El-Wakeel, Kholood O. Al-yazidi

“…To investigate the proposed model in the crisp case and the fuzzy case, illustrative numerical example is added. From the numerical results we will conclude that Uniform distribution is the best distribution to get the exact solutions, and the exact solutions for fuzzy models are considered more practical and close to the reality of life and get minimum expected total cost less than the crisp models.…”
