Only the analysed bone elements are coloured.
Duplicate bone elements are right and left, repectively.
Mercury is almost uniformly distributed in all compact bone elements sampled in one individual.
We interpret this in the way that these three bone elements were intact and sealed, and that no soil had penetrated into the interior of these particular bones.
However, little attention has been given to the distribution of the trace elements between different bone elements in the same skeleton.
Hindlimb unloading was associated with a significant loss of strength in the femur, and with significant reductions in major bone elements.
The structure was initially resorbed, and "bone" elements were stochastically removed until nominal resorptions of 10%, 15 %, 20 %, 25 and 30% were andieved.
Six individuals (graves 20, 34, 130, 161, 184, and 191) are of special interest, but only the skeletal material from grave 130 will be discussed here since it shows lesions on multiple bone elements.
The image grey values were linearly scaled between physiological Young's Moduli for distal femora (0 20 GPa) and assigned to the bone elements (Ashman and Rho 1988; Cuppone et al. 2004; Turner et al. 1999).
Bone elements were arbitrarily designed to be a block 8 × 14 × 10 mm in dimension to be large enough to assess the stresses and strains surrounding the mini-implant.
Osteochondromyxomas have been described as circumscribed, unencapsulated, osteolytic lesions involving the adjacent soft tissues and composed of "myxoid" matrix, hyaline fibrous tissue, and cartilage and bone elements (Fig. 20).
