下面的手稿详细介绍了我们在开发描述人体分解的通用死后间隔公式方面的初步尝试。这些公式是根据美国田纳西州诺克斯维尔的田纳西大学人类学研究中心过去20年来收集的数据经验得出的。根据温度、湿度和氧分压,作为人体分解的四个主要驱动因素中的三个,开发了两个公式(表面分解和埋藏分解)。希望这些公式在田纳西州不容易研究的环境和情况下的全球应用将导致科学家和执法人员之间的跨学科合作,这将允许未来改进这些模型,从而提高准确性。(C)2010爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
The following manuscript details our initial attempt at developing universal post-mortem interval formulas describing human decomposition. These formulas are empirically derived from data collected over the last 20 years from the University of Tennessee's Anthropology Research Facility, in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA. Two formulas were developed (surface decomposition and burial decomposition) based on temperature, moisture, and the partial pressure of oxygen, as being three of the four primary drivers for human decomposition. It is hoped that worldwide application of these formulas to environments and situations not readily studied in Tennessee will result in interdisciplinary cooperation between scientists and law enforcement personnel that will allow for future refinements of these models leading to increased accuracy.
