Fingerprint Analysis Laboratory Workbook Second Edition

Fingerprint Analysis Laboratory Workbook Second Edition

Fingerprint collection and analysis may be performed as part of many jobs including crime scene technician latent print examiner criminalist and lab supervisor. Regardless of one’s specific background or role in the process a knowledge of scientific practices is critical in handling and analyzing fingerprint evidence. The best way to understand the principles and concepts of any science learned in a classroom is to perform experiments. The exercises in Fingerprint Analysis Laboratory Workbook Second Edition address all aspects of fingerprint theory investigation processing comparisons and research. Designed specifically to parallel the Fundamentals of Fingerprint Analysis Second Edition textbook the laboratory exercises correspond with the textbook chapters with exercise in the lab chapter putting into practice the concepts covered in the text chapter. Each lab follows the same format beginning with the objectives of the experiment and providing the background information necessary to perform the experiment. This is followed by a list of required materials the lab exercises and post-lab questions for students to test what they’ve learned. Many of the laboratory exercises may be completed either at home or in a laboratory setting. Exercises and photographs enhance the text making it an ideal hands-on learning tool. New techniques and current practices added to the primary textbook have been included in this companion laboratory workbook to cover the latest in real-world application of fingerprint analysis science to practice.

Making and Unmaking of the San Francisco Bay

Making and Unmaking of the San Francisco Bay

San Francisco Bay is a shallow estuary surrounded by a large population center. The forces that built it began with plate tectonics and involved the collision of the Pacific and North American plates and the subduction of the Juan de Fuka plate. Changes in the climate resulting from the last ice age yielded lower and then higher sea levels. Human activity influenced the Bay. Gold mining during the California gold rush sent masses of slit into the Bay. Humans have also built several major cities and filled significant parts of the Bay. This book describes the natural history and evolution of the SF Bay Area over the last 50 million years through the present and into the future. Key selling features: Summarizes a complex geological geographical and ecological history Reviews how the San Francisco Bay has changed and will likely change in the future Examines the different roles and various drivers of Bay ecosystem function Includes the role of humans - both first peoples and modern populations - on the Bay Explores San Francisco Bay as an example of general bay ecolgical and environmental issues | Making and Unmaking of the San Francisco Bay

The Toxicologist's Pocket Handbook

The Toxicologist's Pocket Handbook

The third edition of the Toxicologist’s Pocket Handbook like the first two editions is a scaled-down version of the best-selling Handbook of Toxicology. It provides the most frequently used toxicology reference information in a convenient pocket-sized book. The format remains the same as the earlier editions to allow basic reference information to be located quickly with the information placed in sections specific to subspecialties of toxicology. A detailed table of contents lists all tables and figures contained in the book by section. This expanded edition contains a number of tables not found in the second edition added to sections on lab animals general toxicology dermal and ocular toxicology genetic toxicology/carcinogenesis neurotoxicology immunotoxicology reproductive/developmental toxicology industrial chemical and pharmaceutical toxicology. New information is presented for additional laboratory animals such as swine and primates infusion recommendations newer methods such as the local lymph node assay and reference safety pharmacology values for standard species. Additional information on typical genetic toxicology and immunotoxicology assays as well as in vitro assays for eye irritation are provided. Some tables from the second edition have been updated to include new information that has arisen since the earlier edition went to press. Information from the second edition such as regulatory requirements that are no longer applicable has been deleted. | The Toxicologist's Pocket Handbook

Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation

Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation

Clandestine labs that manufacture drugs or explosives may be encountered virtually anywhere. They can range from complex operations employing scientific equipment and exotic chemicals or simply kitchen utensils and chemicals purchased at a local grocery or hardware store. Regardless of their form the key to detecting clandestine labs is the ability to recognize the combinations of equipment and chemicals that constitute the lab in the first place. The first line of defense against the manufacturers—who supply the drug trade and terrorists with their tools of destruction—is law enforcement the fire services and other emergency responders. Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation Second Edition provides the information necessary to recognize operations that produce these deadly brews. As with the prior edition the book has sections covering the chemicals and equipment commonly used in the manufacture of drugs and explosives. They are grouped in a manner that allows the emergency responder to quickly identify common combinations of equipment and chemicals that could potentially be used to manufacture drugs or explosives. Since many clandestine manufacturing operations use commonly available materials that have legitimate uses the author outlines how to quickly assess and recognize key indicators associated with clandestine laboratory operations. Sections within the book address information concerning both the hazards associated with those chemicals involved and the personal protective equipment needed to abate the hazards. In addition documentation requirements field-testing and sampling procedures are detailed for use once the operation has been seized and secured. Reproducible worksheets are provided to be used either as or to supplement the on-scene investigators’ field notes and assist in providing a standardized manner to objectively record information about the crime scene. The ability to identify the tools used to manufacture contraband drugs and explosives is a key element in the battle against drug abuse and terrorism making the Field Guide to Clandestine Laboratory Identification and Investigation Second Edition an indispensible resource for responders and investigators alike.
