Standardized measurement of surface dry particle thickness for walkway slip resistance
Slip and fall incidents remain a critical safety concern in residential and occupational settings. While considerable research has focused on wet contamination, the role of dry contaminants in reducing floor friction has been less explored. This study establishes a standardized m...
Development and validation of a combined selected ion monitoring‐scan GC‐EI‐MS method for...
Novel synthetic opioids (NSOs) emerged during the third wave of the opioid epidemic, which has resulted in countless overdose deaths. Although fentanyl and fentanyl analogs are the most common NSOs, changing legislation in China and the United States led to the emergence of anoth...
Crossbow impact effect on clothing and potential associated injuries
There has been an increase in crossbow use for hunting practices, sport target shooting, and criminal activity. In the UK, there is minimal legislation surrounding the crossbow. UK law states individuals must be over 18 to buy or possess a crossbow. To date, little experimental r...
Influence of anticoagulant on the spectroscopic analysis of drying bovine blood pools
Rapidly, untreated whole blood undergoes a clotting cascade, making forensic research that investigates "fresh" bloodletting events difficult. In bloodstain pattern analysis research, whole blood treated with anticoagulant is often used to prolong the usability of the b...

Simple and nondestructive method to access and process material on coverslipped slides
The highly limiting nature of forensic evidence can, many times, force investigators and scientists to access nonoptimal sources of evidence such as slides from sexual assault evidence collection kits or archival slides from autopsies or hospital visits. These slides may contain ...
Toward a unified methodology for preliminary digital evidence assessment: Standardizing...
The increasing reliance on forensic investigations on digital evidence raises concerns about reliability, standardization, and misinterpretation. Inconsistent forensic evaluations necessitate a structured approach for examining digital evidence's strength impacting judicial ...
Traumatic brain injury graphing: A case study of Charles Whitman
Research has identified violent behavior (i.e., assault, murder, and suicide) as a possible sequela of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and repeated mild TBI (rmTBI). However, misconceptions about consciousness and its ability to control an injured brain, the diver...
Frame duplication forgery detection and localization based on QR decomposition and...
The widespread use of multimedia editing tools has facilitated the creation of realistic video forgeries, jeopardizing the trust in video content. To address frame duplication forgery, a prevalent technique, this paper introduces a novel algorithm leveraging QR decomposition (ort...

Deaths in animal attacks: A 10‐year retrospective forensic analysis of direct and indirect...
Animal attacks are a serious public health concern, resulting in fatalities through both direct and indirect mechanisms. This study aimed to analyze demographic characteristics, circumstances, and preventive measures related to fatal animal attacks in Türkiye. A retrospective ana...
