Understanding Quantum Science A Concise Primer for Students of Chemistry Biochemistry and Physics

Statistical Methods for Spatial Data Analysis

Statistical Methods for Spatial Data Analysis

Understanding spatial statistics requires tools from applied and mathematical statistics linear model theory regression time series and stochastic processes. It also requires a mindset that focuses on the unique characteristics of spatial data and the development of specialized analytical tools designed explicitly for spatial data analysis. Statistical Methods for Spatial Data Analysis answers the demand for a text that incorporates all of these factors by presenting a balanced exposition that explores both the theoretical foundations of the field of spatial statistics as well as practical methods for the analysis of spatial data. This book is a comprehensive and illustrative treatment of basic statistical theory and methods for spatial data analysis employing a model-based and frequentist approach that emphasizes the spatial domain. It introduces essential tools and approaches including: measures of autocorrelation and their role in data analysis; the background and theoretical framework supporting random fields; the analysis of mapped spatial point patterns; estimation and modeling of the covariance function and semivariogram; a comprehensive treatment of spatial analysis in the spectral domain; and spatial prediction and kriging. The volume also delivers a thorough analysis of spatial regression providing a detailed development of linear models with uncorrelated errors linear models with spatially-correlated errors and generalized linear mixed models for spatial data. It succinctly discusses Bayesian hierarchical models and concludes with reviews on simulating random fields non-stationary covariance and spatio-temporal processes. Additional material on the CRC Press website supplements the content of this book. The site provides data sets used as examples in the text software code that can be used to implement many of the principal methods described and illustrated and updates to the text itself.

Death Decomposition and Detector Dogs From Science to Scene

Death Decomposition and Detector Dogs From Science to Scene

Death Decomposition and Detector Dogs: From Science to Scene Second Edition is designed to help canine handlers detectives death investigators crime scene personnel (including forensic laboratory personnel technicians and supervisors) and attorneys understand the science involved when utilizing human remains detector (HRD) canines as a locating tool. The book covers the basic anatomy and physiology of canine olfaction and the unique characteristics of their scenting ability that allows dogs to be trained to locate distinct odors. Using concise and clear explanations and photographs the book reviews the science of forensic taphonomy. Factors that may affect the decomposition process are highlighted along with what the potential outcomes that may be encountered.

Fingerprints Analysis and Understanding the Science

Fingerprints Analysis and Understanding the Science

Fingerprints: Analysis and Understanding the Science Second Edition is a thorough update of Mark Hawthorne’s classic written by two professionals with combined experience not only in crime scene investigations but also as court-recognized experts in latent print examination. Designed as a concise text to cover the fundamental techniques and principles of obtaining and analyzing latent fingerprint evidence the book is laid out and written in an easy to understand format for those front-line professionals collecting and analyzing fingerprint evidence. Over time the degree of sophistication and education on fingerprints and friction ridge analysis has increased. Ultimately through scientific study by pioneers in the field the composition of friction skin soon became evident: that it could be used as a unique identifier of individuals. Now fingerprints and footprints as unique identifiers—and their use in criminal cases—have become commonplace and an essential component of criminal investigation with most cases involving some component of fingerprint evidence. Divided into two parts the book begins with the basics of analysis providing a brief history systematic methods of identification fingerprint pattern types and their associated terminologies and current classifications. The second part of the book discusses the identification and presentation of evidence in the courtroom demonstrating both the traditional manual method of lifting prints and the newer techniques for automated and live scans. Coverage provides instruction on searching and developing latent prints storage and comparison of prints. New to this edition are updated techniques on collecting and preserving fingerprint evidence—including packaging and maintaining chain of custody. More detailed documentation processes and additional chemical and lifting techniques are described including use of light sources latent backing cards and lifting material casting material ten print cards and the enhancement of prints in blood. A discussion of laboratory equipment and comparison tools the addition of photography techniques and recent courtroom challenges to fingerprint evidence is also presented. Fingerprints Second Edition will provide a hands-on fresh look at the most commonly utilized evidence found at crime scenes: fingerprints. The book will provide law enforcement crime scene personnel and students just such an opportunity to easily understand and grasp the concepts and relevant issues associated with friction skin and fingerprint evidence. | Fingerprints Analysis and Understanding the Science

Privacy in Practice Establish and Operationalize a Holistic Data Privacy Program

Privacy in Practice Establish and Operationalize a Holistic Data Privacy Program

Privacy is not just the right to be left alone but also the right to autonomy control and access to your personal data. The employment of new technologies over the last three decades drives personal data to play an increasingly important role in our economies societies and everyday lives. Personal information has become an increasingly valuable commodity in the digital age. At the same time the abundance and persistence of personal data have elevated the risks to individuals’ privacy. In the age of Big Data the Internet of Things Biometrics and Artificial Intelligence it is becoming increasingly difficult for individuals to fully comprehend let alone control how and for what purposes organizations collect use and disclose their personal information. Consumers are growing increasingly concerned about their privacy making the need for strong privacy champions ever more acute. With a veritable explosion of data breaches highlighted almost daily across the globe and the introduction of heavy-handed privacy laws and regulatory frameworks privacy has taken center stage for businesses. Businesses today are faced with increasing demands for privacy protections ever-more complex regulations and ongoing cybersecurity challenges that place heavy demands on scarce resources. Senior management and executives now acknowledge privacy as some of the biggest risks to the business. Privacy traditionally has existed in a separate realm resulting in an unintentional and problematic barrier drawn between the privacy team and the rest of the organization. With many regulatory frameworks to consider building an all-encompassing data privacy program becomes increasingly challenging. Effective privacy protection is essential to maintaining consumer trust and enabling a robust and innovative digital economy in which individuals feel they may participate with confidence. This book aims at helping organizations in establishing a unified integrated enterprise-wide privacy program. This book is aiming to help privacy leaders and professionals to bridge the privacy program and business strategies transform legal terms and dead text to live and easy-to-understand essential requirements which organizations can easily implement identify and prioritize privacy program gap initiatives and promote awareness and embed privacy into the everyday work of the agency and its staff. | Privacy in Practice Establish and Operationalize a Holistic Data Privacy Program
