The development of live forensic acquisition in general presents a remedy for some of the problems introduced by traditional forensic acquisition. However, this live forensic acquisition introduces a variety of additional problems, unique to this discipline. This paper presents current research with regards to the forensic soundness of evidence retrieved through live forensic acquisition. The r...

The present article reviews the applications of CE in forensic science covering the period from 2001 until the first part of 2005. The overview includes the most relevant examples of analytical applications of capillary electrophoretic and electrokinetic techniques in the following fields: (i) Forensic drugs and poisons, (ii) explosive analysis and gunshot residues, (iii) small ions of forensic...

Content A document has been prepared by an international committee on forensic podiatry defining the role and scope of practise of this new discipline for the first time. This document will be presented and explained. The presentation will explain how the role and scope of forensic podiatry came to be defined and will cover the definition of forensic podiatry, the level of education expected an...

Forensic practice fees, billing, and collection procedures are quite different from those in general psychiatry. Most forensic practices have far fewer "clients," and individual bills are usually larger. Collections are usually better (and less frequently discounted) in forensic practice, and resolving billing disputes is far more straightforward. Medicare, Medicaid, other insurance coverage, p...

Seymour Pollack developed three categorizing definitions which provided forensic psychiatry with a logical framework for development as a subspecialty of general psychiatry. The first definition separated the body of information related to the interaction oflaw and psychiatry required by the general psychiatrist from information specific to the subspecialty of forensic psychiatry. The general p...

A working classification for forensic odontology was formulated based on the relationship of various dental specialities with forensic odontology [2]. A detailed review about the utility of these dental specialities with forensic odontology was ascertained to understand the forensic implications of each individual dental speciality and to do research in the parent dental speciality [3]. The new...

The Emergency Department (ED) is a point of contact for victims of violence after an act of criminal activity has occurred. Hence, ED clinicians are in a key position to have a significant impact on both the medical and legal outcomes of the forensic patient population. The purpose of this study was to describe and compare forensic knowledge, practice, and experiences of ED nurses and physician...

in this paper, we study the effects of hall and ion-slip currents on the steady magneto-micropolar of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid over a horizontal plate by taking in to account the viscous dissipation effects. by means of similarity solutions, deviation of fundamental equations on the assumption of small magnetic reynolds number are solved numerically by using qu...

Automatic speaker recognition systems have been developed and constantly improved during recent decades. However, even though these systems have been applied to the task of forensic voice comparison since the early 2000s, their behaviour under realistic forensic conditions has not often been thoroughly tested since then. Additionally, the application of these systems is not standardised and is ...
