The impacts of thermocouple insulation failure on the accuracy of temperature measurement...
Thermocouples are utilized to monitor a wide range of temperatures in industrial applications. They are also used in both fire and forensic science research to measure temperatures of fires and of materials exposed to fire. Taking accurate temperature measurements during forensic...
The impacts of thermocouple insulation failure on the accuracy of temperature measurement...
Part II of this two‐part article investigates the impact of thermocouple insulation failure on temperature measurement data in forensic fire‐death scenarios. Two different models of glass fiber‐insulated thermocouple wires (GG‐K‐24‐SLE and HH‐K‐24 from Omega Engineering) were pas...
Correction to: Accuracy of comparisons conducted by forensic firearms examiners
Selective postmortem arterial angiography of head and neck using digital x‐ray or computed...
Identification of vascular injuries is crucial for complete postmortem evaluation and understanding of trauma deaths by the Medical Examiner. Some vascular injuries are difficult to evaluate due to challenging anatomic locations, especially in the head and neck. Documenting injur...
Analysis of automotive paint layers on plastic substrates using chemical imaging μ‐FTIR...
Automobile paint chips are a crucial piece of trace evidence for forensic investigators. This is because automotive paints are composed of multiple layers, including the primer, basecoat, and clearcoat, each of which has its own chemical composition that can vary by vehicle make,...

DNA typing of cyanoacrylate fumed latent fingerprints using GlobalFiler™ and ForenSeq™...
DNA typing of latent fingerprints is highly desirable to increase chances of individualization. We recovered DNA from Cyanoacrylate (CA) fumed fingerprints and used both GlobalFiler™ and ForenSeq™ DNA Signature Prep kits for DNA typing. For GlobalFiler™, samples were processed us...
Development and validation of a quantitative method for the analysis of delta‐9...
A quantitative gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method was developed for delta‐9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (delta‐9‐THC), delta‐8‐tetrahydrocannabinol (delta‐8‐THC), tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), and cannabidiol (CBD) in matrices including plant material, liquids and...
