3D laser scanning technology : calculating the area of origin for bloodstains using FARO Zone 3D.
Patterson, Eric L. (2018)Bloodstain pattern analysis possesses a subjective nature in the calculation of are of origin and has inherently received criticism in the scientific community. Current software used in analyzing area of origin (AO) for ... -
A comparative analysis of impact spatter and satellite spatter on fabric.
Short, Jade (2016)Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) is the practice reconstructing bloodletting events by interpreting the bloodstains left at the crime scene. In addition to the examination of well-formed bloodstains on non-porous surfaces, ... -
Bloodstain pattern analysis with infrared photography as a tool to visualize impact and satellite spatter on denim.
Traverso, Christina (2019)Correctly classifying bloodstain patterns is a crucial element of providing conclusions in the field of Bloodstain Pattern Analysis, because the type of bloodstain pattern speaks to how the bloodstains were created. Very ... -
Cold case investigations : a university initiative.
Fortney, Amber (2019)Despite technological advancements and improved methodologies in forensic science and investigative practices, cold cases are a growing problem in the United States. Although there has been a surge in interest in solving ... -
Detecting latent bloodstains through primers designed to block stains, and paint plus primer mixed paints using Bluestar® Forensic
Norman, Ashley (2023)This study was conducted to determine if a paint plus primer or a primer designed specifically to block stains would affect the efficacy of Bluestar® Forensic, a blood enhancement reagent, through varying layers of paint. ... -
Development of an Artificial Intelligence Method for the Analysis of Bloodstain Patterns
Ravivarma, Niketha (2021)Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA) is a forensic discipline that plays a crucial role in reconstructing the events at a crime scene (Acampora, 2014). The shape, size, distribution, and location of bloodstains can help infer ... -
The impact of packaging and transportation on the analysis of level two details in latent prints
Baber, Sydney (2022)This study was conducted to determine if packaging and transportation of small items of evidence impacts the ability to preserve and process latent friction ridge impressions deposited on those items. Similar research has ... -
Moisture-wicking properties of fabric and their effect on blood and the angle of impact
Johnson, Diah (2022)The use of angle of impact calculations within bloodstain pattern analysis is limited to researched surface types which currently include smooth, non-porous materials and cotton. The purpose of this study was to determine ... -
The evaluation and validation of IDenta Corporation's Bullet-hole Testing Kit (BTK).
Crandell, Katelyn J. (2016)Originally developed in 1982, IDenta Corporation’s Bullet-hole Testing Kit (BTK) is currently being used around the world in the field of crime scene analysis. IDenta claims the kit can successfully be used to identify ...
