3. Given BW. Latent Fingerprints on Cartridges and Expended Cartridge Casings. Journal of Forensic Sciences 1976;21:587-594. Over the five year time period spanning from 1998 – 2002 there was an approximate 30% increase in firearm associated crime in the UK (as reported by the Metropolitan Police). The Home Office reported that gun crime had increased from a reported 4,903 offences in 1997/8 to 9,974 offences by 2001/2 [1].

Analysis of DNA from Fired Cartridge Casings
DNA analysis has been widely accepted as providing valuable evidence concerning the identity of the source of biological traces. Our work has showed that DNA samples can survive on cartridges even after firing. The study also raised the possibility of determining other information such as the age of the donor. Such information may be invaluable in certain cases where spent cartridges from autom...
متن کاملDNA Sequence Fragment Containing C to A Mutation as a Convenient Mutation Standard for DHPLC Analysis
Objective(s): Denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) is a high throughput approach for screening DNA sequence variations. To assess oven calibration, cartridge performance, buffer composition and stability, the WAVE Low and High Range Mutation Standards are employed to ensure reproducibility and accuracy of the chromatographic analysis. The purpose of this study was to provi...
متن کاملA survey of image processing techniques and statistics for ballistic specimens in forensic science.
This paper provides a review of recent investigations on the image processing techniques used to match spent bullets and cartridge cases. It is also, to a lesser extent, a review of the statistical methods that are used to judge the uniqueness of fired bullets and spent cartridge cases. We review 2D and 3D imaging techniques as well as many of the algorithms used to match these images. We also ...
متن کاملAcute stress does not affect the impairing effect of chronic stress on memory retrieval
Objective(s): Due to the prevalence and pervasiveness of stress in modern life and exposure to both chronic and acute stresses, it is not clear whether prior exposure to chronic stress can influence the impairing effects of acute stress on memory retrieval. This issue was tested in this study. Materials and Methods: Adult male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to the following groups: control,...
متن کاملBeneficial Effects of Statins in Experimental Amnesia
The present study was undertaken to investigate the beneficial effects of widely-prescribed lipid lowering drugs, pitavastatin, atorvastatin and simvastatin 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme-A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors in cognitive dysfunctions of mice. Intra-cerebroventricular (ICV)-Streptozocin-(STZ)- and high-fat diet (HFD)-induced amnesia served as interoceptive memory models where a...
