Collaborative research between the disciplines of forensic pathology and biomechanics was undertaken to investigate the hyperelastic properties of human skin, to determine the force required for sharp instrument penetration of skin, and to develop a finite element model, which reflects the mechanisms of sharp instrument penetration. These studies have led to the development of a "stab metric," ...

Zusammenfassung Die „breite Öffentlichkeit“ zeigt ein großes Interesse an der Rechtsmedizin, die dadurch in den Fokus des Medienmarktes rückt. Zunehmend gewähren Rechtsmedizinerinnen und Rechtsmediziner auch Einblicke Realität Faches, mittlerweile selbst produzierten Beiträgen Social Media . Diese Entwicklung (die „Mediatisierung deutschen Rechtsmedizin“) ist Gegenstand von Forschung anderer Di...

Several directors of institutes of forensic and legal medicine in German-speaking areas have noticed a lack of young doctors with specialty qualifications (full board certification) in forensic medicine during recent years. The pilot study was intended to brainstorm the possible reasons for this shortage, by carrying out a survey of doctors working in departments of forensic medicine, paying pa...

This chapter discusses the use of biometrics techniques within forensic science. It outlines the historic connections between the subjects and then examines face and ear biometrics as two case studies to demonstrate the application, the challenges and the acceptability of biometric features and techniques in forensics. The detailed examination starts with one of the most common and familiar bio...

purpose: to investigate the effects of phosphide on some human biological systems in order to find a way to control it and facilitate the prevention and treatment of its poisoning.   materials and methods: in this study, 67 files of autopsy description, forensic pathology results and forensic toxicology were studied as nominal qualitative variables in terms of each type of histological changes ...

Biometric recognition, or simply biometrics, refers to automated recognition of individuals based on their behavioural and biological characteristics. The success of fingerprints in forensic science and law enforcement applications, coupled with growing concerns related to border control, financial fraud and cyber security, has generated a huge interest in using fingerprints, as well as other b...
