Role of Hyperspectral Imaging in Forensic Science

Algorithms
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a state-of-the-art analytical technique that combines the use of conventional digital imaging and spectroscopy to capture both spatial and spectral information simultaneously in hundreds of narrow, adjacent wavelength bands.

Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In the medicolegal context, GSR analysis plays a key role in clarifying the dynamics of firearm‐related deaths, including lesion identification and firing distance determination. However, postmortem alterations of the body, such as thermal exposure, may influence the analysis of lesions and complicate interpretation.

Copper Determination in Gunshot Residue by Cyclic Voltammetric and Inductive Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
Analysis of gunshot residue (GSR) is a crucial evidences for a forensic analyst in the fastest way. GSR analysis insists a suitable method provides a relatively simple, rapid and precise information on the spot at the crime scene. Therefore, the analysis

Firearm sexual homicide offenders: Criminal careers, psychopathology, and offense conduct

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Most homicides are firearm‐perpetrated, but in sexual homicide, offenders are more likely to utilize personal weapons (e.g., hands and feet), contact weapons (e.g., blunt object), or edged weapons (e.g., knife) to comport with their fantasy life, motivational states, and psychopathology.

Region‐of‐interest geometry optimization for shooting‐distance estimation from flash‐pulse infrared thermography of gunshot residue on textile targets

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Shooting‐distance estimation from gunshot‐residue (GSR) patterns on textiles is affected by substrate properties, residue distribution, and region‐of‐interest (ROI) definition. This study evaluated how ROI geometry influences muzzle‐to‐target distance regression from flash‐pulse infrared thermography of GSR‐related thermal patterns.

Proficiency testing of inorganic gunshot residue analysis for laboratory performance assessment

Forensic Science International: Reports
In forensic examination, inorganic gunshot residue (iGSR) can potentially refer to the act of shooting from a person and become value case evidence. The iGSR analysis is performed by the detection of particles containing antimony (Sb), barium (Ba), or ...

The complexity of neighborhood effects: A developmental and ecological framework for violent victimization

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Extensive research has established a link between low self‐control and child victimization. However, the specific neighborhood conditions under which low self‐control most strongly influences victimization have been little examined, and, more importantly, no previous studies have investigated the complex ways in which neighborhood context ...

Impacts of amending bauxite residue sands with residue fines for the establishment of vegetation on residue disposal areas [PDF]

, 2009
Long term storage of bauxite residue materials requires a capping stratum which will limit erosion while stabilizing slopes, limit deep infiltration of water into storage piles, and be aesthetically acceptable to the surrounding community.
