To reveal the accumulation profile of tetrodotoxin (TTX) in pufferfish Takifugu rubripes juveniles, we compared the localization of TTX in various tissues among wild juveniles and hatchery-reared juveniles with or without TTX administration using immunohistochemical technique with anti-TTX monoclonal antibody. Immuno-positive reaction was observed in hepatic tissue, basal cell of skin and olfac...

The present study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence and the general health among delinquents and normal juveniles in Iran. The design of this study was ex-post facto design. Using a random stratified sampling technique from five districts of Iran, west, East, Norrth, South and the center: 339 juveniles (161 normal and 178 delinquent juveniles) were selected from it. A...

a serious loophole for criminals. To avoid detection in cases of poisoning, criminals often resort to the practice of rapid cremation of the bodies of the poisoned persons. It is usually not possible to detect alkaloids and other organic or volatile poisons in burnt bones and ashes; and it is often contended on behalf of the accused that -it is impossible to detect arsenic in burnt bones and as...

I consider a model for the control of criminality in cities. The model was developed during my REU at UCLA. The model is a system of partial differential equations that simulates the behavior of criminals and where theymay accumulate, hot spots. I have proved a prior bounds for the partial differential equations inbothone-dimensional andhigherdimensional case, which proves the attractiveness an...

Theory suggests that micropredators can be virulent and that they will impact smaller hosts more than larger ones. We examined the interactions between micropredatory gnathiid isopods and juvenile damselfish Acanthochromis polyacanthus, the only fish on the Great Barrier Reef without a pelagic larval stage. Compared to most other fishes, A. polyacanthus can potentially interact with reef-based ...

The development of feeding morphology, kinematics and behavior was examined in the juveniles of the cottid fish Clinocottus analis. The attacks of 18 juvenile C. analis, between 17.59 mm and 42.15 mm in standard length (SL), feeding on brown worms were filmed using high-speed video. Feeding mode, ram- or suction-dominated, kinematic variables and morphology were quantified and compared over the...

Raising Juveniles This paper investigates how families make decisions about the education of juveniles. The decision problem is analyzed in three variations: a ‘decentralized’ scheme, in which the parents control the purse-strings, but the children dispose of their time as they see fit; a ‘hierarchical’ scheme, in which the parents can enforce a particular level of schooling by employing a moni...

As more criminals use encryption to conceal incriminating evidence, forensic examiners require practical methods for recovering some or all of the encrypted data. This paper presents lessons learned from investigations involving encryption in various contexts. By presenting successful and unsuccessful case examples, this paper gives forensic examiners a clearer understanding of the feasibility ...

One of the recently addressed research directions focuses on the issues raised by the diffusion of highly dynamic on-line information, particularly on the problem of mining topic evolutions from news. Among several applications, risk identification and analysis may exploit mining topic evolution from news in order to support law enforcement officers in risk and threat assessment. Assimilating t...

From the development of the psychiatric concept of psychopathy, we can at this juncture only state that it no longer coincides at all with that of the delinquent and that we nevertheless find psychopaths among all kinds of criminals. Latent criminals, analogous to the latent misfits of Aichhorn, are frequently psychopaths. Social maladjustment may be however, far from being psychopathic, even i...
