Forensic odontologists successfully identify tsunami victims in Phuket, Thailand.

More than a year has elapsed since the seaquake in South-East Asia in December 2004, and more than 92% of the non-Thai victims have been identified. About 80% of the non-Thai victims were identified by dental information. This high success rate of dental identification in Thailand was a matter of surprise for many forensic experts. Identification based on dental information is a highly efficient, reliable and rapid procedure. The conclusions drawn from the identification of tsunami victims in Thailand were recently discussed at the 17th Meeting of the Standing Committee on Disaster Victim Identification of Interpol in Lyon, and may be used to formulate new guidelines for the identification of victims.

Sliding properties of plasma assisted CVD CNchi coatings for metal bioimplants.

Coatings of CNchi, have been prepared on the substrates of material Ti6Al4V, of which the human joint replacements are made. The deposition of the CNchi coating was carried out by PACVD method in apparatus with standard arrangement. The methane and nitrogen have been used as precursors for CNchi compound. The infrared absorption spectroscopy and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy were applied on diagnostics of prepared CNchi layer. Beside carbon and nitrogen the hydrogen and oxygen were found in the coatings. The sliding tests were carried out with the samples. The counter parts were the cylinders made of the polyethylene of the same type as for big joint prostheses is used. The tests were carried out in the medium of physiological solution. The CNchi coatings perform well under the lower load of 25 and 50 N. When the load is increased to 100 N, the friction coefficient slowly increases, but measured values of mu are typical for boundary lubrication.
