چکیده
The Scientific Working Group for Firearm and Toolmarks (SWGGUN) developed the Admissibility Resource Kit (ARK) in 2005 to assist forensic firearm and tool mark examiners in the preparation for evidence admissibility hearings. When the SWGGUN was defunded in 2013, the AFTE Board of Directors and the past SWGGUN members decided to republish and maintain the ARK on the AFTE website. The ARK contains a collection of resources that represents significant research, legal opinions, challenges, rulings and other issues related to the discipline. The foundational research included on the ARK extends well beyond the past 5 years.

متن کاملNumerical modeling of wave run-up along columns of semi-submersible platforms
Wave run-up is one of the most important and effective parameters in designing semi-submersible platforms. Besides unforeseen effects on the movements and response of the platform, wave run up can also cause slamming forces to be exerted on the lower deck of the platform. Therefore, at the first stages of this plan, before running tests on the model of the platform, numerical methods are usuall...
