Exploring Spatial Patterns of Virginia Tornadoes Using Kernel Density and Space-Time Cube Analysis (1960–2019)
This study evaluates the spatial-temporal patterns in Virginia tornadoes using the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center’s Severe Weather GIS (SVRGIS) database. In addition to descriptive statistics, the analysis employs Kernel Density Estimation for spatial pattern analysis and space-time cubes to visualize the spatiotemporal frequency of tornadoes and potential trends. Most of the 726 tornadoes between 1960–2019 occurred in Eastern V…
Digital restoration of the Wilson‐Leonard 2 Paleoindian skull (~10,000 BP ) from central Texas with comparison to other early American and modern crania
OBJECTIVES: Craniofacial morphology (CFM) is often used to address questions about the biological affinities of the earliest Americans, or Paleoindians, but resolution is complicated in part by a lack of well-preserved crania. The Wilson-Leonard 2 (WL-2) Paleoindian skull from Texas has never been fully analyzed because it is crushed and cannot be physically reconstructed. This study employs a digital restoration for comprehensive assessment and …
Comparing semi‐landmarking approaches for analyzing three‐dimensional cranial morphology
OBJECTIVES: Increased use of three-dimensional (3D) imaging data has led to a need for methods capable of capturing rich shape descriptions. Semi-landmarks have been demonstrated to increase shape information but placement in 3D can be time consuming, computationally expensive, or may introduce artifacts. This study implements and compares three strategies to more densely sample a 3D image surface. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three dense sampling stra…
Race and Historical Memory on the Silver Screen: A Movie Review of 12 Years a Slave
The film 12 Years a Slave, adapted from Solomon Northrup’s historical memoir, caused quite the stir at this year’s Academy Awards. The movie won awards for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, an
