Analysis of DNA recovered from a casework environment can be fraught with difficulties, including DNA degradation, limiting amounts of DNA and the presence of PCR inhibitors. Overcoming these challenges requires the use of a sensitive STR amplification system that is relatively insensitive to the inhibitory effects of DNA contaminants common in casework samples. We examined the relative sensitivities of the single-amplification PowerPlex® 16 System and AmpF lSTR® Identifiler® PCR amplification kit and determined the effect of common PCR inhibitors on the ability of these kits to generate full profiles. The PowerPlex® 16 System was clearly more sensitive than the Identifiler® kit when amplifying picogram amounts of DNA and demonstrably less sensitive to PCR inhibitors.

Former chief of staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi 390.

Attorney-General Yehuda Weinstein announced on Tuesday night that he is opening a military criminal investigation of former IDF chief of staff Lt.-Gen. (res.) Gabi Ashkenazi and his former top aide Col. (res.) Erez Viner for conduct unbecoming under military law.The investigation will be carried out by military police, not civilian police. At this stage, there are no plans for an investigation under civilian criminal law.Weinstein had originally intended to announce the investigation in two or three days, but moved up the announcement after Channel 10 leaked the story on Tuesday evening.Knesset Control Committee chairman Uri Ariel told Channel 10 news that he "supports the decision of the attorney-general to accept my request to open a criminal investigation against those involved in the Harpaz Affair."I am sure that the police will do their work faithfully and investigate the grave issues in depth and act to remove the heavy cloud from the high command of the IDF," Ariel continued.There was no mention in the Justice Ministry's announcement of an investigation into Defense Minister Ehud Barak, despite the fact that he was also the subject of heavy criticism for his conduct in the affair. Barak could not be the focus of a military criminal investigation since he was a civilian during the affair.On Tuesday night, Ashkenazi called on the attorney-general to
investigate Barak as well. It is unacceptable that there are documents,
recordings and investigation conducted only on one side of the affair,
Ashkenazi was quoted by Israel Radio as saying.The Harpaz Affair was an attempt by Lt.-Col. (res.) Boaz Harpaz to discredit Maj.-Gen. Yoav Galant during the selection process to replace Ashkenazi.But the affair eventually took on a much larger significance, leading to a public airing of a surreal, behind-thescenes all-out war between Ashkenazi and Barak over a range of issues, including who would replace the outgoing army chief.

Can we talk about this weather for a second? It's got us in a serious rut, and we're longing for a serious afternoon pick-me-up. Luckily, Maiyet swooped in just in the nick of time with its resort '14 lookbook — 19 pages of feel-good, beachy wares that keep us loving this local brand.
The collection, inspired by global travels, shows off bold graphics and functional shapes. There's truly something for every kind of beach bum here, from flowing maxi-dresses, to fitted crop tops, to an enviable white pantsuit. Each and every piece would feel right at home on the shores of Montauk or your best friend's rooftop bash. In fact, we think we'll double up on purchases and rock our new Maiyet duds at both.

The newest member of the Allen County Ethics Commission would rather prevent misbehavior than punish it.
So IPFW Department of Philosophy professor Abraham Schwab – who was expected to participate in his first meeting as a commission member on Friday – wants to help county employees and elected officials become better aware of their obligations under the 2005 ordinance that resulted in a conflict-of-interest complaint against County Councilman Paul Moss that ended late last year, after a five-month investigation that resulted in an apology from Moss but no official action from the board.
"I prefer education, not retribution," said Schwab, who was appointed to the Commission in January to replace former Allen Circuit Judge Tom Ryan, who resigned in October in protest of the board's handling of the Moss case. A former county employee had accused Moss of a conflict of interest for calling Sheriff Ken Fries following a traffic stop last June.
Schwab said he also hopes to participate in any amendments the Commissioners may make to the ordinance after discussing the issue with fellow members Wendy Stein and Tom Hardin, who have also suggested the need for improvements in the wake of the Moss case.
"When I grade my students, there are clearly identified outcomes based on certain metrics. (The ordinance) should be the same way. There's always room for improvement," said Schwab, who teaches a variety of ethics courses.
Although the Commission has little authority over elected officials – "we can't un-elect them," Schwab said – he wants members to make it clear to elected officials that they must avoid not only the reality but also the appearance of misbehavior "so the public can see" what happened. Moss did not seek re-election and his term on Council ended Dec. 31.
The agenda for Friday's meeting consists of routine matters, such as disclosures from employees and officials who accepted small gifts, including free tickets to the recent Batman program at the Coliseum.

The Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce held its "Tops in Sonoma" breakfast last week, honoring the Valley's lead tax generators and employers (see story on page three). Prior to the breakfast, the 31 "Tops" businesses were surveyed, asked just a few questions about commerce over the course of the past year as well as plans for the upcoming year. Unfortunately just under half (14) of the 31 businesses responded to the survey.
The survey determined some of the usual – increasing energy efficiency as a cost saving measure – as well as some surprising and alarming trends, coming from our perspective. Of particular note was the idea of reducing print advertising in favor of web-based and social media marketing. Now before I jump to crazy conclusions, I need to remind myself that again, there were only 14 respondents and of those, only 50 percent (read, 7) had plans to make significant advertising changes. But the very idea rankled me enough to try and refute this way of thinking.
First and foremost, there are a huge number of people who are simply not online and prefer to get their news the old-fashioned way, in print. What many businesses looking to opt out of print advertising don't realize is that they are actually strengthening their competition by doing so. The business that advertises gets all the attention, while the other fades from memory to the point readers might even think it has closed down.
Second, I don't know about you but I don't put a lot of faith in advertising via Facebook. When I see a post from a friend summoning me to the local pub for a pint, it feels more like propaganda than an invitation. Sure the place is fun and I'm thirsty but I feel like I'm being tricked into going rather than knowing that they've got a happy hour special and my favorite beer on tap – something I would have seen in a print ad.
To give credibility to my argument, we are currently running an ad in The Sun for an upcoming event. So deluged by calls and ticket orders were the organizers of the affair that they've had to postpone the event in order to buy time to find a larger venue. This ad is only running in print and it is only running in The Sun.
Sadly, according to a story in NetNewsCheck.com, only one in 10 traditional media outlets are predicted to survive over time. The good news is that small local newspapers are expected to fair better than average. The reason, we are generally small operations with lean budgets that can deliver the news of a town quickly, succinctly and with a small town angle. Online media is, of course, a big part of this and our organization embraces the digital age with web-based stories and advertising options. In fact, we are poised to roll out our new web site in the coming weeks. But our print product speaks for itself. And as a weekly paper, your ad stays on the street that much longer, giving it even greater impact.
Finally, as businesses, we are all in this together. The Sun is a business just like any other and we need revenue to keep our doors open. The source of our revenue is, by and large, advertising dollars. Keeping in mind that we are a free publication both in print and online and that thousands of people pick up The Sun on a weekly basis, your ad dollars go that much further.
Advertising your business in the pages of The Sun makes sense.

Pulse Plugged: Sub Focus
UK producer Nick Douwma, better known as Sub Focus, has been releasing and creating music for the past 10 years. He released his self-titled debut album in 2009 and just dropped his sophomore album Torus in September. Sub Focus has been hitting the UK charts since 2005 with his drum and bass dance tunes. He's collaborated with names as a big as The Prodigy, Deadmau5, Pendulum, Alex Clare, Empire of the Sun and many, many more. He produced one of UK music group, Example's biggest hits "Kickstarts" off Won't Go Quietly, peaking No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart. With 16 singles and over 20 remixes and collaborations, Sub Focus is one of the most versatile and well-rounded sounds in electronic music today.
This year, Sub Focus headlined BBC Radio 1Xtra and Radio 1 Dance stage at EDC in London and Vegas, along with taking Glastonbury by storm in 2013 with his live show set up. His latest single, "Tidal Wave" off Torus stayed on the UK Singles chart for over 2 weeks. The mesmerizing dance track features vocals by UK duo Alpines and brings the sound of Sub Focus to a different level. The album is focused on collaborations, beautiful vocals, and dance tunes with a variety of rhythms and tempos.
We met up with Sub Focus to talk about his journey to success, the new album, and much more. Check it out below.
Sub Focus, you started out with a lot of dub and drum and bass sounds. Your latest album features more house sounding drum and bass. Which is your favorite to produce?
For the last 5 years, I've really made a point of making all sorts of music. I don't have a preference really, but I wanted to be known for making dance music, rather than just one genre. Its nice, because when you're writing an album you don't want everything to be the same tempo, its much more of a journey. Same with my sets, I like a mixture of different tempos. Ive found it to be really liberating the past 4 or 5 years to see people become way more open minded about what they listen to with electronic music. The fan bases were very separate. Now they're all coming together. Its really opened up now, so its nice for me as a producer to be able to do lots of different stuff.
How did you first get your start making music?
My friends and I formed a rock band when we were 11 or 12, before we really knew how to play instruments. I got into the more technical side of stuff and from that I started making tunes on my mum's computer. I got my first break when a friend sent my demo to Andy C, a legendary UK drum and bass producer. I ended up remixing a song for The Prodigy in 2005. That was a big spring board for a lot of other stuff.
Tell me what your first performance was like?
I first started DJing when I was 16. I was lucky because I had a lot of older friends at university who had me playing shows at night. That was where I got my first DJ experience, which was cool. It wasn't like as soon as I started making tunes I was playing shows, I had been DJing in random clubs for a while. I had a nice transition. But, my first real performance as Sub Focus was at a UK club called End that is now closed. It had a DJ booth right in the center, it's a legendary spot.
What's the main difference between a US crowd and a UK crowd?
There's more dubstep and trap influence in the US. The differences are quite subtle, though. I think American audiences tend to be into slightly more noisier stuff. English dance music has its roots in reggae and sound system culture. It seems like the US core crowd would be listening to metal if they were born 10 years ago.
When you're not producing music what are you listening to?
I listen to a lot of indie electronic music like Friendly Fires and Passion Pit. I also like a lot of modern disco, like Lindstrøm and Todd Terje. There's a lot of house and underground house as well, with sounds similar to an underground Disclosure. I listen to a lot of different music, but I am very into synth based sounds, that's what I really love.
How'd you get hooked up with Flosstradamus for "Tidal Wave'?
I always pick who I want to remix my songs with. It was great because they wanted to do the song, as well. Its often a timing thing, getting with the right people at the right time. They did a really great job and I was honestly blown away with the response that remix got. I'm a really big fan of what those guys are doing. The whole trap movement here is like an antidote to the really complicated stuff people were doing a couple years ago.
What's your favorite collaboration that you've done in the past?
It's hard to pick just one. I was really happy with Tidal Wave and Alpines off the album. I really enjoyed working with Kele Okereke from Bloc Party. I've wanted to work with him forever and that tune was very well received. It's so nice that these people I picked all came out to work together.
Who would your dream collaboration be with?
So many people! I'd really like to do something with Grimes. I love the way she treats her vocals, she's very cool.
What are your thoughts on the direction electronic music is taking? How the genres are broadening and everything is changing?
I kind of like the way its going, I like the ability to write in any genre and having people really accept it. I just feel like its a lot freer than it was, so its liberating for me, at least. The downside is that genres come and go really quickly. Its difficult to commit to one thing. The music can be more transy and quick, but it is kind of scary to watch everything moving too quickly.
Who would you say your biggest influence is?
I'd say I'm a big admirer of groups like Daft Punk and The Chemical Brothers- They're probably my favorite all time dance groups. The brand they have created and the identity they have, I just love. They really inspire me to do electronic live shows, which is what I've been touring and doing a lot recently in the UK.
What's the best advice you would give a budding DJ about originality and making music?
Well, you need to be able to make music to be a good DJ. You have to do something that's different from other people. You start by copying your heros and then you discover something unusual about you and work from there. It's kind of obvious, but you need your unique thing to stand out.
I've heard about these infrared sensors you use in your shows, can you tell me more about that?
I use them in my live shows. Basically, there are these boxes made by this inventor here in the US. You can manipulate the sound in the show with your hand by moving it up to control the pitch or the tone of different sounds, it's just really cool. I wanted to do electronic performances in a futuristic way that allowed the audience to see visual feedback. I was thinking about how bands have instruments like guitars that face outward to the audience. I was trying to think of electronic instruments that you could use the same way, that would be more visual.
What's the weirdest thing you sampled?
I remember I sampled my mom talking once, that was the first thing I ever sampled. But there have been loads of weird stuff.
What's up next? What can we expect for 2014?
I'm very excited to be out in America touring. I'm going to Australia next, then back to America in the new year. My new single "Turn Back Time" is coming out with some great remixes. I'm working with Special Request, Bro Safari and Metric. I also just had a new studio built, so I'm super excited to be making new music and continue touring.

Office of Children & Youth
Early Intervention & Prevention Services
Prevention has been defined in a broad public health context to include: primary prevention (avoidance of onset), secondary prevention (early intervention), and tertiary prevention (prevention of relapse). Primary prevention is an active process of creating conditions or personal attributes that promote the well being of people. Early Intervention, or secondary prevention, includes early detection and activities to keep beginning problems from becoming more severe. Newer terminology speaks of Universal, Selective, and Indicated preventive interventions.
TDMH's prevention efforts are composed of universal and selective preventive interventions. The department's B.A.S.I.C. program includes both universal and selective preventive interventions. Universal preventive interventions target the general public or a whole population group. Our school based B.A.S.I.C. programs target a school's population using mental health wellness activities. B.A.S.I.C. also uses selective preventive interventions (or Early Intervention/Secondary Prevention) to work with individuals or subgroups whose risk of developing mental disorders is significantly higher than average.
Another TDMH early Intervention effort, RIP, would be subsumed under the indicated preventive interventions. Indicated preventive interventions target children who are identified as having signs or symptoms related to mental disorders, but who do not yet meet diagnostic criteria, such as children with early behavioral problems.
Regional Intervention Program (RIP)

try to avoid the Aluminum castings
The iron castings like the grapes, trees, points are ok. The aluminum castings are another story. If dropped 2 feet some of them will break in 3 pcs and don't even try welding them back together. They also won't flex at all, they will just snap. The steel fittings, like pipe elbows and rails, are good quality steel.

Hearth and Home: Converting that wood-burning fireplace to gas

First off, we know not everyone cares what guys think about their outfits—we fashionable ladies get dressed for ourselves, because looking good makes us feel good, too. But hey, we're still curious about what goes on in a dude's head when we cruise past in high-waisted pants or hit the town with a bright fuchsia-slicked pout. Love it? Hate it? Couldn't care less?We had to ask, and since we wanted thoughtful, sincere answers from guys who really get personal style, we went straight to the most well-dressed, sartorially-savvy Washingtonians we know. DJs, clothing designers, photographers, and editors—each one weighed in with nuggets of fashion wisdom that ranged from helpful to hilarious. Even if you don't take their advice, we guarantee you'll be surprised by it.

Violence against women and domestic violence cannot be addressed without looking at gender equality issues. Women may be subjected to violence because of their gender. Certain types of violence, in particular domestic violence, affect women disproportionately.
Consequently, the convention frames the eradication of violence against women and domestic violence in a context of achieving de jure and de facto equality. Its Preamble recognises the structural nature of such violence, which is both a cause and a consequence of unequal power relations between women and men and which limits the full advancement of women. To overcome inequality, the convention requires states to implement gender equality policies and to empower women. It is not about treating women as helpless victims but about making sure they can rebuild their lives.
While the focus of the convention is on all forms of violence against women, which includes domestic violence committed against women, the convention also recognises that there are other victims of domestic violence, such as boys and men. This may include gay men, transgender men or men that do not conform to what society considers to constitute appropriate behaviour. States can choose whether or not to apply the convention to these victims of domestic violence. Applying a gender perspective to these groups of victims is equally important.
Many forms of discrimination, harmful practices and gender stereotypes are the starting point for violent behaviour. For this reason, the convention specifically tackles gender stereotypes in the areas of awareness-raising, education, the media and the training of professionals. It also creates the obligation to ensure that both protective and support measures as well as investigations and judicial proceedings be based on a gendered understanding of violence. The concept of gender is thus firmly embedded in the convention.
Migrant women, with or without documents, and women asylum-seekers are particularly vulnerable to gender-based violence. Although their reasons for leaving their country vary, as does their legal status, both groups are at increased risk of violence and face similar difficulties in overcoming it. For this reason, the convention prohibits discrimination on the grounds of migrant or refugee status when it comes to implementing its provisions. It also requires that measures be taken to prevent such violence and support victims while taking into account the needs of vulnerable persons.
Moreover, the convention devotes an entire chapter to women migrants and asylum-seekers facing gender-based violence. It contains a number of obligations that aim at generating a gender-sensitive understanding of violence against migrant women and women asylum-seekers. For example, it introduces the possibility of granting migrant women, who are victims of domestic violence and whose residence status depends on that of their spouse or partner, with their own residence permit when the relationship ends. This allows a victim of domestic violence to leave the relationship without loosing her residence status. It also creates, for instance, the obligation to allow migrant victims who left and then did not return to the country they migrated to because they were forced into marriage in another country to regain their residence status.
Furthermore, the chapter includes provisions establishing the obligation to recognise gender-based violence against women as a form of persecution within the meaning of the 1951 Refugee Convention and contains the obligation to ensure that a gender-sensitive interpretation be given when establishing refugee status.
It is important to note that women seeking asylum have specific protection concerns and worries that are different to those of men. In particular, women may be fleeing gender-based violence but may be unable or unwilling to disclose relevant information during a refugee determination process that does not respect cultural sensitivities. Furthermore, unaccompanied women are often exposed to sexual harassment and sexual exploitation and are unable to protect themselves. In order to address the particular issues linked to women asylum-seekers, the convention establishes the obligation to introduce gender-sensitive procedures, guidelines and support services in the asylum process. Introducing a gender perspective into procedures allows for differences between women and men to be taken into account.
Another provision that is included in the convention reiterates the obligation to respect a well established principle of asylum and of international refugee protection, which is the principle of non-refoulement. The convention establishes the obligation to ensure that victims of violence against women, who are in need of protection, regardless of their status or residence, are not returned to any country where their life would be at risk or where they may be subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
In many member states, the overwhelming majority of services for victims of domestic violence, but also services for victims of sexual violence, stalking, forced marriage and others, are run by non-governmental or civil society organisations. These organisations have a long-standing tradition of providing shelter, legal advice, medical and psychological counselling. They also run hotlines and other essential services. However, many such services experience funding insecurity and operate in small geographic areas only. In most countries, the overall number of available services does not match the demand of victims. Often, this is because the provision of services is not considered a necessity, but a voluntary activity of NGOs.
For this reason, the convention recognises the work of NGOs and seeks to ensure greater political and financial support for their work. It includes provisions that oblige parties to encourage and support their work by tapping into their expertise, involving them as partners in multi-agency co-operation and supporting their awareness-raising efforts. This can help to enhance results of measures taken to prevent and combat violence against women and domestic violence. Supporting NGOs and civil society organisations means enabling them to carry out their work in the best possible way, for example by setting up co-operative structures between law enforcement agencies and shelters, advertising NGO hotlines and services in government information material but also ensuring relevant public and political support. The convention also includes the obligation for parties to allocate appropriate financial and human resources for activities carried out by non-governmental organisations and civil society.
Finally, NGOs will also play a role in the monitoring of the implementation of the convention. The group of experts in charge of the monitoring process may receive information from NGOs on a party's implementation of the convention which would complement the information provided by the party itself.
Exposure to physical, sexual or psychological violence and abuse has a severe impact on children. It breeds fear, causes trauma and adversely affects their development. Violence against women and domestic violence in its direct or indirect form can have harmful consequences for their health and lives. In the case of domestic violence it is acknowledged that children do not need to be directly affected by the violence to be considered victims as witnessing domestic violence is just as traumatising.
The convention covers various forms of violence against women and domestic violence. Victims of such violence are typically girls and women of all ages. Boys and men, however, may also fall victim of certain types of violence that fall within the scope of the convention, in particular domestic violence and forced marriage. For this reason, states are encouraged to extend the application of the measures set out in the convention to boys and men.
Furthermore, there are several provisions that deal explicitly with children. They require states to do the following:
1) In the area of prevention:
1. conduct or promote awareness-raising campaigns on the different manifestations of violence against women and domestic violence and their consequences on children.
2. develop and promote, in co-operation with the private sector, skills among children, parents and educators concerning how to deal with violent and harmful content in the communications environment.
3. ensure that preventive measures address the specific needs of child victims.
2) In the area of protection and support:
1. provide specialist support services to women victims of gender-based violence and their children.
2. set up shelters that provide safe accommodation for women and their children.
3. ensure that the rights and needs of child witnesses are taken into account when providing protection and support services to victims.
4. ensure that significant incidents of violence against women and domestic violence are taken into account when determining custody and visitation rights.
3) In the area of prosecution:
1. criminalise the act of intentionally forcing a child to enter into a marriage, or that of luring the child to another country in order to force her or him to enter into a marriage.
2. ensure that criminal legislation covers the incitement of a child to commit crimes in the name of "honour".
3. ensure that child victims and child witnesses are afforded special protection measures at all stages of investigations and judicial proceedings.

Tim Collings looks at the quarter of F1 newcomers
Four new faces will be driving into the unknown on Sunday when they join 20 more experienced men on the grid for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
Two Latin Americans and two Europeans, the new boys make their Formula One racing debuts at Albert Park, as the circuit hosts the first race of the year once again.
For Jerome D'Ambrosio of Belgium, racing for Virgin, Sergio Perez of Mexico, for the Sauber team, Scot Paul di Resta of Force India and Pastor Maldonado of Venezuela, racing for Williams, the chief objective will be simple: to survive - and to finish.
"What I want to do is to have a positive approach, finish, be consistent and contribute to the team's overall performance," said Di Resta, 24, who has done hundreds of laps in testing to prepare for this weekend and the season ahead.
Di Resta won German Touring Car Championship last year and is the latest in a long line of Scots to reach F1 - the most famous being the great Jim Clark, champion of 1963 and 1965, and Sir Jackie Stewart, title winner in 1969-71-73.
In more recent times, Scotland has cheered on David Coulthard who won twice at Albert Park for McLaren in 1997 and then in 2003. He is now back as a TV commentator.
D'Ambrosio, 25, also comes from a small nation with a strong, if not title-winning, racing pedigree: he is the 19th Belgian driver to run in F1, following big names like Jacky Ickx and 1989 Australian Grand Prix winner Thierry Boutsen.
D'Ambrosio arrives after three seasons in GP2 and a heavy workload in testing - at the final Barcelona test he had to take over and do all four days' work when team-mate German Timo Glock underwent an emergency appendectomy.
"I know that taking to the track for the first time in Melbourne is going to be something really quite special," said D'Ambrosio, echoing all their feelings.
For Perez, it will be an emotional weekend - he is not only, at 21, the youngest of the four new boys, but also the first Mexican in F1 for three decades from a nation that still reveres memories of the great Rodriguez brothers Pedro and Ricardo.
Both had associations with Ferrari, colourful careers and perished in racing cars, Ricardo during practice for his home Mexico City race in 1962 and Pedro in a sports prototype event in Germany in 1971.
Their legends live on, however, and it is a measure of Mexico's fervour for this sport that a crowd of more than 150,000 people turned out to see him run a Sauber car in his home city of Guadalajara in February.
"I have never experienced something like this before with so many people cheering me," said an overwhelmed Perez. "I'm proud to be Mexican and I'm proud to receive all this support."
Perez was runner-up in the GP2 series last year and will have a chance to shine in a Sauber car that many rate as packed with potential this year.
On the grid, he will have support from many fellow Latin Americans including fellow-new boy Maldonado, who pipped him to the GP2 title in 2010, reeling off a category record of six straight feature race wins.
'Pastorcito' is the first Venezuelan in F1 since Johnny Cecotto, whose Grand Prix career ended in a crash at the 1984 British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch.Maldonado, 25, joins Williams alongside veteran Rubens Barrichello of Brazil - a Latin-American pairing of youth and experience that will provide great interest this year.

I am listing some of the acronyms used in our work and had to stop to think about whether to list these together or separately. In some circles they are synonymous, in others they have distinct meanings. What do you consider them to mean, or is there an agreed-upon definition for each?
In my experience, DEM is most of the time used as a generic term for DSMs and DTMs. I think this image on Wikipedia depicts the differences between DSMs and DTMs well:
A different definition is found in [Li et al., DIGITAL TERRAIN MODELING - Principles and Methodology]:
Digital elevation models (DEM) are a superset of both digital terrain models (DTM) and digital surface models (DSM). Remote sensing generally captures the surface height, so the top of the tree canopy or buildings is returned, not the bare ground elevation. If this data is corrected to remove elements which extrude above the terrain height, you're left with a DTM.
In general, most people use DEM interchangeably with the other two terms, but it can matter: I once built a hydrology model using SRTM data in South America in very flat arid terrain, but because of the canopy height along the river itself, the true river location became the highest point on the terrain, causing a ruckus.
The Wikipedia article on digital terrain models also includes some useful background and examples you may find helpful.
In my experience, a more complete answer to this question lies in defining the difference between a DEM, DTM and a DSM. A DTM is NOT a generic name covering both DEMs and DSMs. So...
A DEM is a 'bare earth' elevation model, unmodified from its original data source (such as lidar, ifsar, or an autocorrelated photogrammetric surface) which is supposedly free of vegetation, buildings, and other 'non ground' objects.
A DSM is an elevation model that includes the tops of buildings, trees, powerlines, and any other objects. Commonly this is seen as a canopy model and only 'sees' ground where there is nothing else overtop of it.
A DTM is effectively a DEM that has been augmented by elements such as breaklines and observations other than the original data to correct for artifacts produced by using only the original data. This is often done by using photogrammetrically derived linework introduced into a DEM surface. An example is hydro-flattening commonly seen in elevation models done to FEMA specifications
Incidentally, a DEM is far cheaper to produce an a DTM.
Source: http://www.intermap.com/Portals/0/doc/Brochures/INTERMAP_Digital_Elevation_Models_English.pdf
It is not uncommon to find in the LiDAR/forestry literature the acronyms DTM and DEM being used as synonyms.
However, according to Behrendt (2012; paragraph 6 on page 15), there is a difference between them:
Still according to Beherendt (2012; paragraph 4, on page 15):
Behrendt, R. Introduction to LiDAR and forestry, part 1: a powerful new 3D tool for resource managers. The Forestry Source, p. 14-15, set. 2012. link.
In my experience a DEM refers to a raster based elevation model used in programs like ESRI's ArcGIS. A DTM is a vector based elevation model used by programs like Autodesk CivilCad.
If you want a comprehensive source for DTM-DSM and DEM please read this book "Digital Terrain Modeling: Principles and Methodology"
Update Satellite imagery Digital Elevation model ( DEM ) generic term for altitude grid Digital Terrain Model ( DTM ) ground elevation model Digital Surface Model ( DSM ) ground + cover elevation model Digital Height Model ( DHM ) cover elevation model
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.

I Am a 46 yr old two tour combat veteran with severe anxiety attack secondary to PTSD. So I'm told by the doctors, both VA and Medicare. Before I was having 1-10 attacks a day. I was abusing alcohol and THC, and cocaine when things got bad. so I have stopped using and drinking and the lorazetepam is helping. My attacks were intense and I felt like I was dying, couldn't breath, arms numb, chest pain, decrease vision and hearing. It was like being a hurricane and then steeping out on to a calm field.
I started taking Ativan before I knew about the generic, Lorazepam approximately 20 years ago and both do the same thing to me. It has helped with my anxiety (takes about 30 minutes to calm me down if it is going to be a rather big one), barometric pressure changes because I get awful headaches with these changes, tinnitus (helps calm down the ringing so I can function)and my dose from my primary care doctor is 3x's daily as needed. For many years, I have only taken 1/2 mg in the day and 1/2 mg before I go to bed. Since I am in my sixties now, I find that I need more at night for insomnia (usually 3/4 mg). It is affordable and I know it is addicting but if I can feel normal, I don't care. I want to be normal. I have not had any negative reactions with this drug (no dizziness, hallucinations, weird dreams or anything that would make me stop taking lorazepam). My doctor of 20 years understands me and how this drug works for me.
It works well but I agree that no alcohol should be used at all. Causes mood swings and anger when awaking and e few hours after. So use as your docoter and drug co recommend it can be dangerous.I have used 1mg durning the day and took prior to bed for three years. I works if taken as given.
It helps me sleep
I have Aspergers, PTSD and have had issues living around other humans -- men, in particular. I take another long-acting Benzo to maintain calmness in social interaction, in general. I use the 0.5 mg generic for Ativan twice daily PRN. More often, I take a tablet once daily and deliberately try to avoid taking ANY when there is not nastiness directed at me. It is a med I take in emergency only, when I'm in the presence of someone who may be threatening or become violent with me. It IS very ADDICTIVE, so I use cautiously ONLY when needed!
Lorazepam works for anxiety and works very well. That's not the problem, the problem is that after about 4-6 months your body will develop a tolerance to the medication which then you must increase the dose. That happens very often! Another and far far worse problem from Lorazepam is withdrawal. If you take this medication (DRUG) for more then 2 weeks you can develop dependency for it. PLEASE PLEASE read and research before taking Lorazepam! It can ruin your life!
I have anxiety and MS and 1mg has helped my nerves so to speak. It also helps my pain. I have pain every day. I seldom take more than 1mg and sometimes take 1/2mg. Yes, I have taken it three years with no problems. I feel like I shouldn't, but it helps and I do not want more. It is a small price to pay perhaps for now. I am 54.
Tired it 3 nights in a row, then stopped. Supposed sedative effect not present. Sleepless, but not anxious about it. Hallucinations! Short sleep spells with vivid dreams. Get less sleep than prior to use. NOT recommended.
I'm 42 years old and get anxiety simptoms, couple days before my period or while my ovulation. 1/2 mg tablet really works wonders for me at that time. Only thing is you need to control yourself for not taking it , if you really do not need it. I'm taking this for last 3 years twice a month only.
I take 1/2 mg in morning 3/4 mg at noon and 1/2 mg in evening

Interpretive Handbook
9441 :
Cytoplasmic Neutrophil Antibodies, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) can occur in patients with autoimmune vasculitis including Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), or organ-limited variants thereof such as pauci-immune necrotizing glomerulonephritis.(1) Detection of ANCA is a well-established diagnostic test for the evaluation of patients suspected of having autoimmune vasculitis. ANCA react with enzymes in the cytoplasmic granules of human neutrophils including proteinase 3 (PR3), myeloperoxidase (MPO), elastase, and cathepsin G. Antibodies to PR3 occur in patients with WG (both classical WG and WG with limited end-organ involvement) and produce a characteristic pattern of granular cytoplasmic fluorescence on ethanol-fixed neutrophils called the cANCA pattern. Antibodies to MPO occur predominately in patients with MPA and produce a pattern of perinuclear cytoplasmic fluorescence on ethanol-fixed neutrophils called the pANCA pattern.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (cANCA and pANCA):
-Evaluating patients suspected of having autoimmune vasculitis (both Wegener granulomatosis [WG] and microscopic polyangiitis)
cANCA titer:
-May be useful for monitoring treatment response in patients with WG (systemic or organ-limited disease); increasing titer suggests relapse of disease, while a decreasing titer suggests successful treatment
When used for diagnosis it is recommended that specific tests for proteinase 3 (PR3) ANCA and myeloperoxidase (MPO) ANCA be performed in addition to testing for cANCA and pANCA.(2) This panel of tests is available by ordering the VASC / Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies Vasculitis Panel, Serum.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Positive results for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (cANCA or pANCA) are consistent with the diagnosis of Wegener granulomatosis (WG), either systemic WG with respiratory and renal involvement or limited WG with more restricted end-organ involvement. Positive results for pANCA are consistent with the diagnosis of autoimmune vasculitis including microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) or pauci-immune necrotizing glomerulonephritis. Sequential measurements of titers of cANCA may be useful to indicate the clinical course of patients with WG. Changes in titer of > or =2 serial dilutions are considered significant.(3) In patients with very low levels of cANCA, the immunofluorescent staining pattern may mimic the pANCA pattern. In patients with MPA, monitoring of disease activity may be performed by measuring MPO ANCA (MPO / Myeloperoxidase Antibodies, IgG, Serum).
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Current recommendations suggest that testing for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) by immunofluorescence assay should not be relied upon exclusively to establish the diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) (see Interpretation).
Results for cANCA testing are titered if positive (1:4, 8, 16, 32, etc.). If positive for pANCA, results are reported as positive. Changes in titer of cANCA should not be relied upon exclusively to judge the disease activity of patients with WG or to determine the response to treatment. A decreasing titer of cANCA may lag behind the induction of clinical remission by several weeks in a patient with WG and, a detectable titer of cANCA may persist indefinitely despite induction of a stable clinical remission of disease. Conversely, a slight increase in the titer of cANCA should not be interpreted to mean an exacerbation of disease without further clinical and laboratory evidence of disease progression.
The presence of an antinuclear antibody may mimic a pANCA on ethanol-fixed neutrophils.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
If positive for cANCA, results are titered.

Odontogenic lesions are cysts or tumors that develop in your jawbone or the soft tissues in your mouth. Odontogenic lesions can vary greatly in size and severity. These lesions are usually noncancerous (benign), but they may behave aggressively at times. Treatment generally involves surgical care but may include medical therapy for certain types of lesions.
At Mayo Clinic, we assemble a team of specialists who take the time to listen and thoroughly understand your health issues and concerns. We tailor the care you receive to your personal health care needs. You can trust our specialists to collaborate and offer you the best possible outcomes, safety and service.
Mayo Clinic is a not-for-profit medical institution that reinvests all earnings into improving medical practice, research and education. We're constantly involved in innovation and medical research, finding solutions to improve your care and quality of life. Your doctor or someone on your medical team is likely involved in research related to your condition.
Our patients tell us that the quality of their interactions, our attention to detail and the efficiency of their visits mean health care — and trusted answers — like they've never experienced.
Why Choose Mayo Clinic
What Sets Mayo Clinic Apart
Odontogenic lesions are often first noticed by your dentist. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon will usually oversee your care at Mayo. He or she will ask about past symptoms and examine the lesion and your entire head and neck region.
To determine the type of lesion, your doctor may remove a small piece of the lesion (biopsy) to view under a microscope. You'll be under local anesthesia for this procedure. Your doctor will also likely order one or more imaging tests, such as:
Read more about X-ray, CT scan and MRI.
Treatment options for odontogenic lesions vary, depending on the type of lesion and stage of growth. In some cases, medications may help, but odontogenic lesions usually require surgical removal. At Mayo, a pathologist examines the removed tissue during surgery and reports a diagnosis within a few minutes, so that the surgeon can act on this information immediately.
Keratocystic odontogenic tumors are slow-growing cysts often associated with impacted teeth, such as third molars, and can occur in anyone. Usually, if you have a keratocystic odontogenic tumor, you may be symptom-free and have the lesion discovered only after routine dental X-rays. Keratocystic odontogenic tumors may also be found in people with an inherited condition called nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.
Depending on a number of factors, you may have one of these types of treatment:
Keratocystic odontogenic tumors have a potentially high recurrence rate after treatment.
If your doctor suspects that nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (Gorlin-Goltz syndrome) is the cause of your cyst, your doctor may recommend screening for you and your family. People with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome lack a gene that suppresses tumors and may also have other subtle developmental conditions such as extra ribs, facial bone abnormalities, multiple basal cell skin cancers and, less commonly, brain tumors. Screening for nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome may help in early detection and treatment of these conditions.
Other types of odontogenic tumors include:
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.
At Mayo Clinic in Arizona, ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists care for people who have odontogenic lesions, with other experts involved if needed.
