You may be able to access the second article on JSTOR: http://www.jstor.org/stable/i369939 . The maths in these is fairly complex, but doing the analysis in PAST is easy. Paste in a column of data, select the column, choose Statistics menu and Mixture Analysis, and hey presto it gives a result. PAST doesn't have all the sophistication of the second article's bootstrapping, but it does the basic analysis in a very easy-to-use fashion.
Best wishes
