  dt: Book
  is: 0930-1461
  ts: Forensic Science Progress
  ab: The series edited by prominent forensic
      scientists, provides a state of the art overview of current knowledge in
      forensic sciences by reviewing the progress in this rapidly growing
      field. Every volume gives a balanced view on various aspects of this
      science. It is the believe of the editors that every forensic worker
      should be informed about all branches of his science even if he may very
      well be specialised in one or few of them.

  ab: Contents/Information: "Thermal Analysis Methods in Forensic
      Science" by G. Hellmiss: This contribution first explains the
      basics of the measuring process and the type of information
      obtained by the major TA methods, i.e. differential thermal
      analysis (DTA)/differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),
      thermogravimetry (TG), thermomechanical analysis (TMA). The next
      subject covers forensic science applications of TA. "Optical
      Methods in the Examination of Questioned Documents" by J. Mathyer:
      Optical methods of examination include observations made by the
      naked eye, and microscopic examination with illumination in the
      visible or invisible range of the spectrum. "Forensic Hair
      Investigation" by S. Seta, H. Sato and B. Miyake: The ultimate
      purpose of forensic hair comparison is to state whether a crime
      scene hair is of victim origin or of suspect origin. A combination
      of morphological and analytical data of hair samples, including
      hair protein and hair root and isoenzyme analysis leads to the
      enhancement of identification probability.

      a Forensic Context" by R.N. Smith: The theory and practice of
      radioimmunoassay are described with particular reference to the
      analysis of drugs in body fluids in a forensic context.
      Radioimmunoassay theory is outlined from basic principles and the
      practical design of a drug assay is considered in detail.
      "Developments in Fingerprint Visualisation" by C.A. Pounds:
      Methods are reviewed to visualize fingerprints left at a scene of
      crime or on feloniously handled material for comparison of
      fingerprints as a way to identify an individual.
