Role of Semiconductor Oxides in Forensic Sciences: A Review
Semiconductor oxides are playing an important role in the advancing modern forensic science, offering sensitive, selective, and rapid analyses. At nanoscale, they have a high surface area, unique chemical and physical properties, versatility, tunable optical, electrical, and magnetic characteristics. Applying different characterization techniques with semiconductor oxides on the nano-forensic evidences can provide the accurate and efficient results. Key semiconductor oxides such as ZnO, TiO2, CuO, or Iron oxides can be used in drugs/toxic powder detection, gun powder/explosive residue analyses, fingerprint detection, and other forensic applications as photocatalysis, artificial olfactory system, powder suspension, auxiliary agent, colorimetric, gas, and electrochemical sensing.
From Yesterday to Tomorrow: Exploring Methods in Bite Mark Analysis
Background: Taking account from the National Crime Records Bureau there were 31,677 cases of sexual assault registered in the single year 2021, which implies roughly 80 cases daily. To address such serious crimes forensic professionals must be aware and focus on traditional pieces of evidence such as DNA, Seminal Stains, bitemarks or struggle marks, and other confirming shreds of evidence. Bite mark analysis is a vital component of forensic investigations, offering a distinct form of evidence in criminal proceedings. By leveraging the uniqueness of dental structures, bite marks can contribute significantly to personal identification and the resolution of crimes involving assault, sexual offenses, and homicide. Main Body: We portrayed the collection, packaging, and preservation methods of bitemark, and included the DNA extraction from saliva. Structural distinctive features which are used to differentiate human dentition from animal dentition. Accidental and intentional crimes then easily distinguished. In the case of wildlife forensics also bitemarks have wide scope and importance for determination of species and tagging them with their habitat. Short Conclusion: In recent times with rapid evolution in computational capabilities, we are able to use complex applications of computer science for the purpose of three-dimensional comparison of bitemarks, use of digital image processing and image modifications. the statement on which most of us will agree is Bite marks are always being interest of investigators in cases of sexual assault and child abuse.
Revolutionizing Digital Forensics: The Role of AI and ML in Evidence Analysis
Evidence Analysis plays a valuable role in any investigation carried out for individual or organizations post criminal activities, leveraging AI/ML extensively which helps in automating repetitive and laborious tasks aiding investigators to focus on the significant course of action. AI/ML came up for significant transformations to the field by various techniques for simplification. Advancements allowed experts to dedicate time and other resources to critical aspects of investigation instead. Modern methodologies offers solutions to variegated domains of digital forensics, such as network analysis, device forensics, cybercrime investigations and many more. This paper gives you an overview of how AI and ML techniques can be implemented in digital forensics, by use of different approaches. For example, NLP can be used to analyse large volume of text data, extracting information or identifying patterns. AI driven image and video surveillance tools can detect anomalies, recognize faces or analyse patterns in recordings of live feed. Pattern recognition helps in identifying recurring events or correlations in evidence, like tracing data or detecting frauds in or during cyberattacks. All these benefits come with challenges including data quality problems, bias in algorithm and limitations in complex dataset handling. Inefficiencies in interpreting results due to the black box nature of some AI models that lack the ability of explanation are also encountered by experts. To address these challenges, adopting to advanced algorithms, integration of human expertise with AI tools and ensuring continuous learning to refine models in required. AI's computational power when combined with human insight creates a robust framework for digital forensics.
