Editing Final Report/Thesis 2016 (section)

==Previous Studies/Related Work==
==== Australian Department of Defence ====
In response to the request from journalist Stuart Littlemore the Australian Department of Defence had worked on cracking the code left in the Tamám Shud case. Unfortunately after a time of working the cryptographers defined the code as unable to crack. The code was said to either “have insufficient symbols” or it was just a meaningless product generated under a “disturbed mind” [6].
==== Previous Groups in the University of Adelaide ====
As Professor Derek Abbott has been following this case for a long time, there were several project groups that had been working on this unsolved case from 2009 to the present. The conclusions drawn out by previous groups are: the code is unlikely to be generated randomly, the code is unlikely to be initial letters  from words,  the book  Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam was unlikely to be used as a one-time pad for encryption, the original language of the code is likely to be English, the code is unlikely to be initialisms extracted from poems, the book Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam was not used as a straight substitution one-time pad for encryption and the code was not created using the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam as a one-time pad.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
==== Previous study on mass spectral analysis ====
In addition to police men’s investigation, there already have several academic studies. Prof. Derek Abbott has worked on this case for more than 2000 hours. [23] His team took the hairs from Somerton man’s plaster cast and recorded elements data by ICP-MS. Since 2009, it had become a final project for the University of Adelaide students and some students had participated this project. In 2013, the project group plot some Somerton man’s hair elements’ content figures and compared with control samples. [12] They have analysed the differences between Somerton man’s hair and control samples. However, those hairs’ data were all got from glass test. In this project, we redo the analysis based on the data that got from quartz test. In addition, we will compare those two different data figures. However, the new data should not be compared with old directly due to different drift values. The new data will multiply a constant which is got from the glass test remainder that is a bit rest of Somerton man’s unburned hair. Besides, the different year of plasters needed to be considered as well.
