Development of Fingerprint on Different Surface by Non-Conventional Method

Fingerprint acts as a prime evidence to provide person identification as well as it has vast applications in criminal investigation. Fingerprint plays a very important role in today’s scenario. Majority will use physical powder method, chemical method for development of latent prints. But due to toxic in nature, less availability, and high price, we tried to develop the prints with non-conventional powders (baking powder, talcum powder, fuller’s earth, turmeric powder and vermilion).

Detection Potential of Recently Discovered Techniques for Recovering Latent Fingerprints: A Review

Criminals have an aim, to not leave any evidence behind at the scene of crime. Some offenders assume that objects recovered from aquatic environment have no forensic value therefore; they attempt to wipe out the evidences by throwing them (traces like murder weapon) in water.

Property Security Using a Biometric Based Door Lock System

This paper presents the development and implementation of a Biometric Based Door Lock System that will automatically unlock a door when a registered fingerprint is sensed. The method employed in accomplishing this involves the use of a fingerprint scannerR305 interfaced with ATMEGA 328 Arduino microcontroller to actuate the locking and unlocking process of a door.

“Only Cigarette Butt is Left, DNA Fingerprinting Traps the Theft”

The examination of saliva traces left on cigarette butts as evidences are complicated due to the availability of biological material in trace amounts and its rapid degradation due to extreme effects of environmental factors. This study is aimed to assess the DNA purity and quantify the amount of DNA preserved in saliva found on cigarette butts subjected to various temperatures and humidity. Isolation of cell material from biological traces on forensic evidence is often a serious challenge to solving forensic cases.

Proteomic Analysis in Response to Germination in Ceiba pentandra (Kapok) Seeds

1-D, 2-D gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry and bioinformatics analysis were established and utilized to examine the changes in protein expressions associated with germination of Ceiba pentandra seeds.The change in protein pattern was analysed by 1-D and 2-D gel electrophoresis for better separation and to ascertain the pattern of protein mobilization during germination.

Commentary and Review on Sacred Geometry

This formula was designed to discover and analyze the compatibility/incompatibility of individuals and groups of individuals based on fingerprint classifications found in the Henry System of Fingerprint Classification and Filing. In particular, the Primary Classification which depicts the distribution of whorl type patterns across a ten set of fingerprints. A given Primary Classification is therefore examined according to the geometric position that it maintains on a chart of the 1024 classifications. Nevertheless, in order for geometric analysis to be accurate, the dimensions of the Primary Classification Chart must be specific.

Efficacy of Fingerprint to Determine Gender and Blood Group

Fingerprint (dermatoglyphic) evidence is undoubtedly the most reliable and acceptable evidence till date in the court of law. Due to the immense potential of fingerprint as an effective method of identification an attempt has been made in the present work to analyze their correlation with gender and blood group of an individual.

Latent Fingerprints of Insufficient Value Can be Used as an Investigative Lead

The evidential and investigative value of a latent fingerprint with insufficient characteristics to identify can sometimes be an issue of debate. In this report the authors present the case of a latent fingerprint bearing details in agreement with no visible discrepancies, but with insufficient information to identify.

Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Derived from A Patient with Sporadic Alzheimer’s Disease Exhibit Altered Neuronal Proliferative Capacity

We generated two hiPSC clones from a patient with sporadic late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD-iPSCs), which expressed typical undifferentiated markers and passed standard pluripotency assays. Genome-wide microarray analysis revealed that AD-iPSCs were highly similar to control hiPSCs and hESCs, albeit with some noticeable differences in few genes, viz.: DNAJC15, GRPR, NAIP and SNORD116-18
