In many instances computer forensic practitioners come across digital photographs within an investigation. Examples include law enforcement examining computers for child pornography, intellectual property disputes involving proprietary digital images, or file recovery for individuals who have lost personal photos due to accidental deletion or electronic media corruption. More technical examples...

Multisensory enhancement (MSE) is the augmentation of the response to sensory stimulation of one modality by stimulation of a different modality. It has been described for multisensory neurons in the deep superior colliculus (DSC) of mammals, which function to detect, and direct orienting movements toward, the sources of stimulation (targets). MSE would seem to improve the ability of DSC neuron...

We study the origin of the diffuse stellar component (DSC) in 117 galaxy clusters extracted from a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. We identify all galaxies present in the simulated clusters at 17 output redshifts, starting with z = 3.5, and then build the family trees for all the z = 0 cluster galaxies. The most massive cluster galaxies show complex family trees, resembling the merger t...

A major deficit in suitable dyes is stifling progress in the dye-sensitised solar cell (DSC) industry. Materials discovery strategies have afforded numerous new dyes; yet, corresponding solution-based DSC device performance has little improved upon 11% efficiency, achieved using the N719 dye over two decades ago. Research on these dyes has nevertheless revealed relationships between the molecul...

n important consideration during the engineering process of an antibody is both the inherent conformational stability of the antibody as well as long-term stability. Understanding these parameters and what trends they follow will be critical throughout the biotherapeutic development. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is a potent tool in probing these qualities. As a stability indicating a...

A thorough understanding of starch gelatinization is extremely important for precise control of starch functional properties for food processing and human nutrition. Here we reveal the molecular mechanism of starch gelatinization by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in conjunction with a protocol using the rapid viscosity analyzer (RVA) to generate material for analysis under conditions t...
