متن کاملInsect Artifacts Are More than Just Altered Bloodstains

However, some of the very same species that provide utility to legal investigations can also complicate crime scenes by distorting existing body fluid evidence (e.g., bloodstains, semen, saliva) and/or depositing artifacts derived from the insect a...

This study explores the utilization of information accidentally accessible in the environment when solving a problem. It contrasts the spontaneous use with the prompted use of such information, i.e. it investigates the relationship between the degree of a priori confidence in the relevance of the information and its efficient use. Three degrees are considered close pragmatic distance (explicit ...
