DNA transfer in packaging: Investigation of mitigation strategies
Crime scene exhibits are often packaged at a crime scene and transported to a laboratory for DNA analysis. DNA‐containing material may be lost from the sampling site of the exhibit to the inside of the packaging, preventing identification of a suspect, or may transfer to other pa...
AI‐assisted identification of a novel vardenafil analog (KD‐027) adulterated in capsules
Sexual dysfunction is a health issue that significantly affects adults. However, the increased demand for pharmacological treatments, such as sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil has led to the emergence of counterfeit drugs, posing a serious public health concern. These counter...
A feasibility study on the application of MICRO XRF for latent fingermark detection on...
In the context of criminal investigations, latent fingermarks play a pivotal role in obtaining clues related to suspects. Presently, various physical, chemical, and optical methods are employed for latent fingermark detection. However, it is observed that when utilizing physical ...
A unique case of suicide by machete: Injury pattern and considerations on the manner of...
Sharp force injuries caused by cutting or stabbing instruments represent a relatively rare cause of death in the United States, with firearms remaining the leading mechanism in homicides. Among sharp instruments, machete‐related fatalities are infrequently reported, and no docume...
Statistical analysis of fingerprint minutiae based on a large dataset and accurate...
Since the late 20th century, wrongful convictions based on fingerprint evidence and judicial scrutiny have raised questions about the scientific validity of fingerprint evidence, necessitating research into the scientific foundations of fingerprint identification. This article em...
Anteromedial striatum and globus pallidus infarcts: Uncommon complications of cerebral...
Herniation of the temporal lobe through the tentorial notch often leads to compression of the ipsilateral posterior cerebral artery and stretching of the ipsilateral oculomotor nerve. Arterial compression classically results in infarcts of the inferior temporal and occipital lobe...
Three methods of estimating age‐at‐death using three different regions on the os coxa
Understanding population diversity is necessary for the development of forensic anthropology methods that address population affinity. The commonly used age‐at‐death estimation methods for adult skeletal remains are based on American data sets, which include individuals with both...
Statistical analysis of fingerprint first‐level detail using Bayesian networks
This study presented a large‐scale statistical examination of 168,974 tenprint records to evaluate whether pattern distribution across the fingers is random or exhibits structured interdependence, and whether sex‐related differences in pattern frequency exist. Two Bayesian networ...
A study on quantifying the individuality of fingerprints and the 3D feature distribution...
The hypothesis of fingerprint individuality continues to be debated due to limited empirical verification, impacting the scientific foundation of fingerprint identification. This study proposed a quantitative model for fingerprint individuality and investigated the three‐dimensio...
