English

Subject field(s)
  • Insects, Centipedes, Spiders, and Scorpions
OBS

The species can be identified by the use of literature and insect reference collections. Having determined the species, age, and the developmental period of the larvae, the scientist turns the clock back to the time when the mother fly of that particular species would have been attracted to the corpse to lay the eggs that hatched into the collected larvae. Many factors influence the rate at which a body is colonized by successive waves of insects, climate playing a role.

semi-submersible pipe-laying barge

OBS

The early lay barges could lay only one or two kilometres of pipe a day and had to suspend operations in even moderate seas. Modern vessels are designed on the ship or semi-submersible style and are more stable in rough seas than conventional barges. They also offer greatly increased deck and storage space, and some have six welding positions, making it possible to line-up, weld, X-ray and lay continuously at a fast rate. Laying rate is helped by using articulated stingers, especially in deep water.
