In this paper we present refinements on previously-proposed approaches to forensic analysis of database tampering. We significantly generalize the basic structure of these algorithms to admit new characterizations of the “where” axis of the corruption diagram. Specifically, we introduce page-based partitioning as well as attribute-based partitioning along with their associated corruption diagra...

The architecture of existing – first generation – computer forensic tools, including the widely used EnCase and FTK products, is rapidly becoming outdated. Tools are not keeping pace with increased complexity and data volumes of modern investigations. This paper discuses the limitations of first generation computer forensic tools. Several metrics for measuring the efficacy and performance of co...

Forensic DNA Applications: An Interdisciplinary Perspective (2014; Edited by Dragan Primorac and Moses Schanfield. CRC Press, Taylor Francis Group. 23 Chapters, 621 pages) is intended for different types of audiences interested in forensic medicine. It could be both a textbook for forensic molecular biology students and a reference book for practitioners of forensic molecular biology. Moreover ...

unsteady hydromagnetic generalised couette flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid between two horizontal parallel porous plates darcian channel in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field taking hall current and ion-slip into account in a rotating system is investigated. an exact solution of the governing equations is obtained by laplace transform techniq...

This paper analyses the performance of several automatic speaker recognition systems using a real forensic database. The systems evaluated have been tested or are currently in use by forensic institutes. A comprehensive error analysis is performed in order to assess the each system’s behaviour to real casework. We further investigate compensation techniques aimed at minimising the performance g...

Combing through the literature on forensic linguistics, it becomes apparent that FL could be seen as a sub-branch of applied linguistics (on an academic discipline level and in terms of theory and the units of analysis), or as a branch of forensic sciences (at a practical level and in terms of its application to the legal setting). These links might help in clarifying misconceptions regarding t...

Computer forensics is the application of investigation and analysis techniques to gather and preserve evidence from a particular computing device in a way that is suitable for presentation in a court of law. Behavior analysis is rooted in the behaviorist tradition and utilizes learning principles to bring about behavior change. Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science encompassing the ...

The teaching and practice of forensic pathology and public health on an integrated basis or as one in which these disciplines are closely associated dates back to the turn of the century, as exemplified by the publication in 1902 of John Glaister's Textbook of Medical Jurisprudence, Toxicology and Public Health. In the metamorphosis of medical training and medical practice, however, current cir...

BACKGROUND Clinical forensic examinations of alleged torture victims have been performed by forensic pathologists at the University of Copenhagen since 1995. In 13.2%/33 of these cases the examinations were supplemented by a forensic odontological clinical examination. In this study the forensic odontological cases from the years 1997-2011 are presented and discussed. METHODS This study inclu...

Open access (OA) publishing makes articles available over the Internet at no charge. The OA movement had its official start in 2002 with the establishment of the Budapest Open Access Initiative. The goal of the OA movement is to remove access barriers, accelerate research, and thereby achieve its broader mission of promoting global welfare. The OA movement has made swift progress over the past ...
