Forensic electrochemistry: sensing the molecule of murder atropine.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the electroanalytical sensing of atropine using disposable and economic screen printed graphite sensors. The electroanalytical determination of atropine is found to be possible over the concentration range of 5 μM to 50 μM with a detection limit of 3.9 μM (based on 3-sigma) found to be possible. We demonstrate proof-of-concept that this approach provides a rapid and inexpensive sensing strategy for determining the molecule of murder atropine in diet Coca-Cola samples.

The comparison of forensic-psychiatric traits between female and male perpetrators of murder or attempted murder.
The aim of this investigation was to define more clearly specific forensic-psychiatric characteristics of female murder or attempted murder perpetrators. The retrospective method applied was based on the comparison of the data from forensic-psychiatric assessments carried out in the Center for Forensic Psychiatry, Psychiatric Hospital Vrapce, Zagreb, from 1983 to 1997 (including 70 female and 7...
متن کاملTheoretical Approach for Detection of POCl3 Molecule by the Boron Nitride Nanosheet-based Sensing Nanodevices
To detect POCl3 molecule, adsorption phenomena of this molecule on the pure, Al- and Si-doped BN sheet surfaces were investigated via density functional theory (DFT) approach. The most stable adsorption complexes, including POCl3/BN (O-B), POCl3/Al-BN (O-Al), and POCl3/Si-BN (O-Si), were predicted with the adsorption energies of about -8.64, -37.01 and, -62.01 kcal mol-1, respectively. Upon the...
متن کاملForensic aspects of alcohol abuse and homicide.
Numerous investigations indicate a close link between violent behavior, homicide (murder) and alcohol intoxication. With increased frequency of drinking and the chronic consummation of alcohol, the risk of the fatal outcome or homicide and victimization caused by violence is more likely to occur. Studies conducted on convicted murderers suggested that about half of them were under the heavy inf...
متن کاملMental illness and homicide--prevention of recidivism.
We hypothesized that the integration of forensic psychiatrists and the forensic system into the general stream of mental health should lead to better reintegration of forensic patients into the society. The aims of the study were to explore the link between violence, murder, psychiatric disorders and other variables, and to suggest a mode of prevention of criminal recidivism. This investigation...
متن کاملForensic electrochemistry: the electroanalytical sensing of Rohypnol® (flunitrazepam) using screen-printed graphite electrodes without recourse for electrode or sample pre-treatment.
The electroanalytical sensing of Rohypnol® (flunitrazepam) is reported for the first time utilising screen-printed graphite electrodes without the requirement for any additional pre-treatment or modification. The methodology is shown to be useful for quantifying low levels (μg mL(-1)) of Rohypnol® in not only buffered solutions but also two internationally favoured drinks: Coca Cola™ and the al...
