A reference database of Windows artifacts for file‐wiping tool execution analysis
Anti‐forensic technology can play an effective role in protecting information, but it can make forensic investigations difficult. Specifically, file‐wiping permanently erases evidence, making it challenging for investigators to determine whether a file ever existed and prolonging...
The power of presentation: How attire, cosmetics, and posture impact the source...
Gender stereotypes may negatively affect perceptions of women professionals' credibility, including forensic experts. This study investigated the impact of behavior‐based and appearance‐based factors on women expert witness's credibility. Jury‐eligible adults were shown...
Using FastID to analyze complex SNP mixtures from indoor dust
Forensically relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can provide valuable supplemental information to short tandem repeats (STRs) for investigative leads, and genotyping can now be streamlined using massively parallel sequencing (MPS). Dust is an attractive evidence sourc...
Pulp volume quantification methods in cone‐beam computed tomography for age estimation: A...
The secondary dentin deposition that occurs after the tooth formation process results in a decrease in pulp cavity volume in adolescents and adults. The purpose of this critical review was to correlate pulpal and/or dental volume on cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) with chron...
Effects of language mismatch in automatic forensic voice comparison using deep learning...
In forensic voice comparison, deep learning has become widely popular recently. It is mainly used to learn speaker representations, called embeddings or embedding vectors. Speaker embeddings are often trained using corpora mostly containing widely spoken languages. Thus, language...

Intentional overdose of glargine insulin: Determination of the parent compound in...
Insulin glargine is a long‐acting insulin analog that is converted after enzymatic cleavage of the arginine pair of the β‐chain into its main metabolite M1 (21A‐Gly‐insulin), which is responsible for the hypoglycemic activity. In all the overdose cases described in the literature...
Toward maintaining canine training aid integrity: Visualizing contamination and testing...
Contamination of canine training aids is a pervasive issue that may lead to incorrect canine discrimination of target odors. It is therefore important to properly store training materials to maintain their integrity and efficiency. First, this study demonstrated the potential for...
An innovative transfer DNA experimental design and qPCR assay: Protocol and pilot study
Forensic "touch" DNA samples are low‐quantity samples that are recovered from surfaces that have been touched by single or multiple individuals. These samples can include DNA from primary contributors who directly touched the surface, as well as secondary contributors w...
