There were to different ecological footprint calculations that were used to collect data. The equation EFC= EFP + EFI -EFE was used to calculate the Ecological Footprint of consumption and EF…

Medium-Velocity Blood spatter is where moderate force is applied from objects which can cause pooled blood to scatter in multiple directions surrounding the contact (Gaensslen, Harris, & Lee, 2008, pg. 89). “High-velocity blood spatter is the where extreme force acting on the blood source (Gaensslen, Harris, & Lee, 2008, pg. 89)."
