Although we will be focusing on the forensic sciences that typically take place in a crime laboratory‚ there are other types of forensic sciences that are specialized and focused on a particular area. In this section‚ we will briefly take a look at some of these specialty areas. Forensic Pathology/Biology Pathology is a science that deals with disease. Pathologists make use of autopsies to study the tissues and other parts of the human body for diseases. An autopsy is a dissection and examination

FORENSICS Forensics‚ by and large‚ is the application of science to the legal process. It is an emerging research domain in India. There are many different types of forensic sciences baring their vital presence possibly in every field of human endeavor. Of these‚ let us now discuss about the computational‚ cyber and the DNA forensics. COMPUTATIONAL FORENSICS: The development of computational methods or mathematical and software techniques to solve forensic issues is called computational forensics

Inorganic Chemistry Assignment (a) Describe and explain the trend in the boiling points of the elements down group VII from Fluorine to Iodine. All of the halogens exist as diatomic molecules (F2‚ Cl2 and I2) the intermolecular attractions between the molecules hold them together. The larger the molecule (as it moves down the halogen group) the bigger the intermolecular forces are between electrons because with more rings the distance between each electron is larger. The larger elements such

Kirat Hundle 1. What is the difference between an element and a compound? An element is an isotope made of the number of neutrons it has. A compound is a substance made of two or more different elements (a mixture). 2. What is the periodic table? A periodic table is where the chemical elements are organized based on their atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus)‚ electron arrangement‚ and chemical properties. 3. Give two examples of each of the four major mineral groups (silicates‚ carbonates

Kimberly Correa Forensics Dr. Edmond Locard was a pioneer in forensic science who became known as the Sherlock Holmes of France. He formulated the basic principle of forensic science: "Every contact leaves a trace". This became known as Locard’s exchange principle. Born on November 13 1877 in Saint-Chamond‚ France‚ Locard studied medicine and law at Lyon‚ eventually becoming the assistant of Alexandre Lacassagne‚ a criminologist and professor.
