This section includes the study material and various researches about a particular subject related to forensics that helps in investigations.
A route of administration is defined as the path by which a drug, fluid, poison, or any other substance is taken into the body
Adipocere formation is a modified decomposition process that occurs in the fatty tissues, hydrolyzing them through enzymatic mechanisms.
The decomposition of the human body is called putrefaction, which is a process where complex organic body tissue breaks down into simpler inorganic compounds or elements due to the action of saprophytic microorganisms or autolysis.
Luminescence is an emission phenomenon of light that does not result from high temperature. It can be said that it is a cold body radiation process. Luminescence is a light emission that represents an excess of thermal radiation and lasts for a time exceeding the period of an electromagnetic oscillation. Read more…
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance(NMR) spectroscopy is an analytical technique that is a result of the interaction between the radiofrequency waves and the nucleus of a molecule.
Combined DNA Identification System (CODIS) is the DNA database system launched by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to support the criminal justice system based on DNA identification.
The polygraph examination is a psychophysiological test that helps to reveal the deception of a person.
Biological characteristics give a unique identity to an individual that helps forensic analysts to identify and individualize the victim and suspect/culprit.
Metallic poisons are inorganic irritant poisons that cause acute as well as chronic toxicity in human beings. These inorganic elements are usually not poisonous in their metallic form but cause toxic effects when combined with other elements to form salts or other compounds.
Venom is the toxic saliva secreted by the salivary glands in snakes, as a part of their defense as well as an attacking mechanism.
