Modeling Movement Of Criminals Through Burglary Scenes, Veronica L. Herrmann
Modeling Movement Of Criminals Through Burglary Scenes, Veronica L. Herrmann
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Physical evidence plays a large role in the criminal justice system and in crime scene reconstruction. The purpose of evidence is to assist in connecting a person or persons to an incidence, which helps crime scene investigators in reconstructing the events that occurred at the crime scene. This concept is mainly based off Locard's Exchange Principle, which states that there is always an association between an offender and evidence. However, without patent evidence to lead the investigators to a possible route at the scene, determining the movements taken during the commission at a scene is needed.
Engineers have used simulations …
Electrochemical Detection Of Fentanyl Using Screen-Printed Carbon Electrodes With Confirmatory Analysis Of Fentanyl And Its Analogs In Oral Fluid Using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry, Colby E. Ott
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Utilizing screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs), a fast, simple, and sensitive approach toward the detection, identification, and quasi-quantitation of fentanyl was achieved both in an electrochemical cell and as a drop on the electrode surface. Electro-oxidation of fentanyl at the electrode was demonstrated using adsorptive stripping square-wave voltammetry between -0.5 V and +1.6 V with 100 mM Tris-HCl buffer at pH 8.5 as supporting electrolyte. Parameter optimization was conducted during method development to include supporting electrolyte and pH, electrochemical technique, pre-treatment and equilibration time, and various surface modifications. The simplest method utilizing an unmodified SPCE was determined to be appropriate for …
