Objective VS. Subjective: The Process of Examining and Comparing Fingerprints In a court of law‚ the results found in the comparison of fingerprint evidence is much more than the subjective opinion of a forensic examiner. As results are not based on personal opinion‚ but rather on an evaluation employing scientific principles to identify characteristics found on a fingerprint‚ an examiner’s opinion remains objective using knowledge and skills acquired through training‚ education‚ and experience

Woodlice Investigation Introduction: The ecological niche of the woodlice Porcellio scaber. The woodlouse Porcellio scaber is native to Europe but also commonly found in New Zealand. They live in cool‚ dark‚ damp microhabitats such as in rotting wood‚ under rocks‚ in caves and leaf litter. Small insectivorous rodents and birds as well as some spiders feed on woodlice. In the rotting log from which I gathered my specimens there were also millipedes‚ crickets‚ weta and spiders living. Woodlice

CHM 116 Lab Investigations of Buffers I. Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to get an understanding as to how to properly prepare chemical buffers. Also part of this experiment was to gauge the effectiveness of the buffers by measuring their pH levels in various titration solutions‚ using a pH meter. II. Procedure To start our experiment we had to prepare Buffer B‚ which was the .060 M Ammonia/Ammonium solution. Using 3.0 M ammonia‚ we had to calculate

Science February 6 2009 - February 19 2009 Conductor Investigation Calvin Chang 8.2 Stage 1: Planning the Experiment Introduction ! By “electric current”‚ I mean by the rate at which electric charges moves through a circuit‚ the electric charges can either be ions or electrons. They are measured in ammeters and the unit that is measured in is ampere which is the number of charges that passes through per second. There are many factors which would affect the electric current‚ like the voltage of

Aim. The aim of this investigation is to find out how Slaters react to an increase or decrease of the temperature in its surroundings. Hypothesis The speed of the Slaters will increase when the temperature of its environment is increased or decreased from its preferred range‚ so it ensures that they spend less time in unfavorable conditions to avoid desiccation. Method 1. This experiment is done using a water bath to change and control the temperature being trialed. The water bath will have

PENDULUM INVESTIGATION Aim of the investigation The aim of the pendulum investigation is to see what will happen if I change a variable whilst I swing a pendulum and see the effect which it has on the pendulums time to complete one whole swing (from where it starts‚ to the opposite end‚ and back again). This will give me an insight into what will effect the time of the swinging of the pendulum‚ be it weight‚ string length‚ the angle‚ or the swinging point. Planning my investigation I will

Homicide Investigation More work goes into a homicide investigation than what the media alludes to. Television shows like Law and Order‚ and CSI show an over glorified series of basic investigations as well as highly dramatic interrogation in which each homicide case is solved within a one-hour episode. In reality‚ a homicide investigation is 20 times more complex than what is aired on prime time television. Cases can take years to solve‚ and a large number remain open indefinitely. From start
