The latter provides input parameters as well as geometrical data of the specimens used for a validation of the simulation results.
Image data of the specimens were acquired individually with a microcomputer-tomograph (μCT) Nanotom 180 nF (phoenix nanotom, GE Measurement & Control solutions, phoenix∣X-ray, Germany).
"Irrespective of the time period," we conclude, "the research and publication of data from this specimen does not follow current ethical standards in anthropology" as nowhere in the Genome Research publication is there a sufficient ethics statement or archaeological permit.
With regard to this program, for a given experiment, the program can hold the raw and prepared data of 10 specimen Ca transients.
Fully electronic support of specimen request, review and distribution of specimens and data for approved requests is included.
Copies of Cambridge holdings include the field notes, burial data, specimen list, diary, and transcripts of the record of excavation.
The scanned data of the complete specimen has an isotropic voxel size of 0.6 µm.
The μCT data of the scanned specimen was imported to the software Avizo 7.0 (FEI-VSG company), where a reconstruction and segmentation were performed, and bone, teeth and matrix were separated in layers to analyse inner bone structures.
This sequence of sample imaging, section trimming and block raising can acquire many thousands of images with perfect alignment in an automated fashion and yield a 3D volume data of specimen.
