Bone mineral density in human femurs of documented age-at-death in a comparative context by Emmanuel Gilissen, Sarah Tayach, Rosine Orban

“…This contribution aims at answering the question of the how and the why of invasive, micro-invasive and non-invasive analysis of anthropobiological remains, through the study of a collection comprising 51 skeletons of known age and sex (27 males and 24 females born between 1837 and 1916) stored in the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences. We have attempted to identify possible age-related trends in femoral bone mineral content in the context of modern clinical references and archaeological skeletal series. …”

The cover of randomness: validating implicit methods for the study of sensitive topics by Charles Efferson, Sonja Vogt

“…Specifically, even if female genital cutting and the preferential abortion of females are equally sensitive as research topics, son bias is inherently easier to study than cutting because biological sex determination is a random process with no natural analogue in the case of cutting. This randomness provides a kind of cover for research participants who are son-biased but want to create the impression that they are not. …”

Modelling Socio-Environmental Sensitivities: How Public Responses to Low Carbon Energy Technologies Could Shape the UK Energy System by Brighid Moran Jay, David Howard, Nick Hughes, Jeanette Whitaker, Gabrial Anandarajah

“…The scenarios represent risk aversion (DREAD) which avoids deployment of potentially unsafe large-scale technology, local protectionism (NIMBY) that constrains systems to their existing spatial footprint, and environmental awareness (ECO) where protection of natural resources is paramount. Very different solutions for all three sets of constraints are identified; some seem slightly implausible (DREAD) and all show increased cost (especially in ECO).…”
