Estimation of Time since Death in Australian Conditions collates data about decomposed bodies found in the eastern states of Australia from the years 2000 to 2010. The book takes into account that over 70% of decomposed bodies were found within 14 days. From standard autopsy reports, a quantitative method of assessing the degree of decomposition in four specific body organs and the total appearance of the body was collated into a total body score (tbs). The mathematical models on how to estimate time since death in the eastern states of Australia are covered in this valuable resource.

An ideal - and affordable - text for engineers and maintenance professionals with an interest in vibration monitoring. This title does not attempt to baffle with the technology, but introduces it at an understandable level, touching on the basic theory and concepts, available equipment and practical issues relevant to the engineer as well as highlighting several case studies with which the reader can relate. Other books in this series focus on corrosion, vibration, thermography, noise, ultrasonics and acoustic emission, level, leakage and flow, oil analysis, load monitoring and a superb Concise Encyclopaedia that includes introductory notes on all of the above techiques as well as others.
