Recent trends in organic gunshot residue analysis

Recent Trends in Organic Polarography

INTRODUCTION The present paper does not attempt to be exhaustive in listing all of the current trends in the polarography of organic compounds. Rather, an attempt has been made to focus attention on those trends, which seem of major importance for future studies in organic polarography, with particular reference to some of the unsolved problems which still confront us. Significant recent activi...

Recent Trends in Archaeological Theory: Some Comments

 This paper selectively reviews some recent themes in archaeological theory:  a philosophical pragmatism, a turn to materiality, and understanding the past in the context of the present.  It concludes with some reflective comments on the author’s Archaeological Theory:  An Introduction, in advance of the third revised edition.

Recent trends in Algebraic Analysis

I Francesco Baldassarri (Università di Padova) Title: Non-archimedean analysis of irregular singularities Abstract: Let X be a smooth algebraic surface over the complex field C, and Z be a divisor with normal crossings in X. Sabbah’s conjecture on the existence of a good formal structure for an integrable connection on X with poles along Z, has been proved independently by Kiran Kedlaya and Tak...

Errors in gunshot residue assessment by scanning electron microscopy/ elemental analysis in criminal cases: III. Friction-brake particles assigned as “highly specific” gunshot residue particles

Automated scanning electron microscope analyses of gunshot residue samplers are being performed by many crime laboratories all over the world. Often the criminalist-technician operators of these instruments do not have adequate training for the interpretation of spectra generated by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (parts I and II of this series) and distinguishing gunshot residue from simi...
