Temperature modelling at a crime scene is crucial for forensic investigators to estimate the minimum postmortem interval (PMImin\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$_{\hbox {min}}$$\end{document}) of a cadaver. Upon death, insect species deposit eggs, and the resulting rate of development of the larvae is primarily temperature driven. By knowing the historical ambient temperature, development stage, and specific species of larva found on a cadaver, an accurate estimate can be made for the time since death.

However, there is currently no method to determine the actual internal temperature of the cadaver prior to discovery. In this research we examine the possibility of inferring the thermal environment of the growing larvae and extracting a characteristic heat flux profile intrinsic to the growing insect population. The external environmental temperature can be combined with this profile to provide a much more accurate predictor of the temperature experienced by the larvae than is currently used and consequently a more reliable estimate of the PMImin\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$_{\hbox {min}}$$\end{document}.

推进对死亡时间的法医估计

犯罪现场的温度建模对于法医调查人员估计最小尸检间隔至关重要（PMImin\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{ amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$_{\hbox {min}}$$\end{document}) 的尸体。死亡后，昆虫物种会产卵，由此产生的幼虫发育速度主要受温度驱动。通过了解尸体上发现的历史环境温度、发育阶段和特定幼虫种类，可以准确估计死亡后的时间。PMImin\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin} {-69pt} \begin{document}$$_{\hbox {min}}$$\end{document} 没有准确的历史温度就无法计算。但是，目前还没有方法可以在发现之前确定尸体的实际内部温度。在这项研究中，我们研究了推断生长幼虫的热环境和提取生长昆虫种群固有的特征热通量分布的可能性。
