✦ Synopsis

Presented in this paper are the initial results involving the use of the nose or outer ear as temperature measurement sites to determine the postmortem period of the human corpse. Simple mathematical models for both sites are developed based on cooling curves of five corpses. Analysis of errors between actual and calculated postmortem intervals suggest that in its present form, the described methods would not be suitable for use in accurately determining the time since death of human corpses.

The technique of measuring the aerated and tapped bulk density of a powder has been refined to provide a sensitive guide to the processing characteristics of loosely compacted powders. A contour diagram of constant Hausner ratio on coordinates of particle size and relative humidity allows the predic
