Human Scent Evidence

Human Scent Evidence

During the last decade a significant number of scientific studies have supported the use of human scent as a biometric tool and indicator of the presence or absence of an individual at a crime scene. These findings even extend to conducting scent identification line-ups with suspects. Human Scent Evidence focuses on some of these recent advances in the use of human scent as forensic evidence and as an identifier. Topics include:Various theories of human odor productionThe variability stability and persistence of human scent Historical aspects of the use of human scent in police work in the United States and internationallyCurrent trends in scent collection techniques including devices materials and storage protocolsChemical aspects of the evaluation of human scent including instrumental methods for odor detection and analysisThe legal significance of human scent evidence resultsCanine scent work from multiple search categories as described in the Scientific Working Group on Dog and Orthogonal detector Guidelines (SWGDOG)Human scent evidence may be of critical use in many cases where other types of evidence such as DNA fingerprints or fibers are not readily available. As such it can be a valuable tool in forensic investigations. With examples from North and South America and Europe this book draws upon an extensive literature review of past and current research and is enhanced with findings from the authors’ own research. It concludes with a glimpse of the future direction of human scent evidence in the forensic field and its application as a biometric and diagnostic tool.

Detector Dogs and Scent Movement How Weather Terrain and Vegetation Influence Search Strategies

Detector Dogs and Scent Movement How Weather Terrain and Vegetation Influence Search Strategies

Dogs detect scent from a source that is carried to them in a plume by the wind. The most important tool for a detector dog handler to have on searches is a knowledge of scent plume movement or scent dynamics (the science of scent movement). Such knowledge resides primarily in scientific journals that are largely inaccessible to detector dog handlers and written in language that is difficult to understand. Detector Dogs and the Science of Scent Movement: A Handler’s Guide to Environments and Procedures retrieves reviews and interprets the results of pertinent scientific research on scent dynamics and presents these results in terms that are easier for handlers to understand. Information on the physiology of the dog’s nose their sense of smell and the properties of scent provide the essential information on the process of scenting. The composition of training aids for explosives narcotics human remains and other sources is discussed. Recommendations are made on the use of training aids their placement during training and the resulting availability of scent. Potential problems and handler errors in the use of training aids are also examined. The characteristics of scent plumes and how wind influences their movement are a key focus of the book. The primary task for the handler is to get the dog into the scent plume so that the dog can detect the scent and follow it to the source the handler seeks. As such a knowledge of scent and scent plume movement will vastly improve the ability of the handler to accomplish this task. The influence of weather and physical settings such as terrain vegetation ground cover soil and water on scent movement are examined in detail. Strategies for searching detecting and locating sources in all physical settings are presented. Specific effects associated with hills and mountains fields and forests bare soils and soils covered by vegetation different soil types and lakes and rivers are examined in detail. This includes specific recommendations are made about weather and physical settings that result in higher probability of success on searches. Detector Dogs and the Science of Scent Movement will be a vital resource for K9 handles in the private and public sectors—including in Homeland Security law enforcement and military settings—as well as a useful guide for lawyers forensic and investigative professionals who need to better understand K9 operations. | Detector Dogs and Scent Movement How Weather Terrain and Vegetation Influence Search Strategies

This Great Beast Progress and the Modern State

This Great Beast Progress and the Modern State

First published in 1997 this volume follows Catley and Cristaudo as they defend Western Civilization against all comers: against the rest of the world especially the Third World and against its own internal irritants: ‘the scribblings of the intelligentsia’ by idealist philosophers feminists greens post-moderns multiculturalists Orientalists anti-nationalists socialists and Keynesians most of them tenured academics in the arts and social sciences. As academic political scientists themselves they have done time in a number of the ideological prisons they attack and they write about those states of mind with experienced cynicism . As in Paradise Lost the devil gets all the best tunes. The identification of civilization’s enemies is wildly sometimes hilariously politically incorrect. | This Great Beast Progress and the Modern State

This Happened Here Amerikaners Neoliberals and the Trumping of America

This Happened Here Amerikaners Neoliberals and the Trumping of America

This book examines the Trump phenomenon and presidency as fascist. Fascism here connotes not generically bad politics or a consolidated political-economic regime (Mussolini’s Italy or Hitler’s Germany) but a set of political movement and ideological traits understood within the context of the neoliberal-capitalist era. While Trump’s election defeat is a respite the nation is far from out of the neofascist woods. Defeating the menace will require political and societal restructuring far beyond what is imagined by Democrats. This argument is developed across seven chapters that recount Trump’s assault on the 2020 election specifically define the meaning of fascism as it is used in this book demonstrate the neofascist nature of the Trump presidency engage intellectual class Trumpism-fascism-denial analyze the Trump base root Trumpism in a longstanding and indeed founding American white nationalism examine why Trump rose to power when he did and suggest paths for fascism-proofing the USA. | This Happened Here Amerikaners Neoliberals and the Trumping of America

Predator-Prey Dynamics The Role of Olfaction

Predator-Prey Dynamics The Role of Olfaction

Humans being visually oriented are well versed in camouflage and how animals hide from predators that use vision to locate prey. However many predators do not hunt by sight; they hunt by scent. This raises the question: do survival mechanisms and behaviors exist which allow animals to hide from these olfactory predators? If so what are they and how do they work? Predator-Prey Dynamics: The Role of Olfaction examines environmental as well as biological and behavioral elements of both predators and prey to answer gaps in our current knowledge of the survival dynamics of species. Beginning with a thorough look at the mechanics of olfaction the author explains how predators detect locate and track their prey using odor trails on the ground or odor plumes in the air. Understanding the physics of airflow is the next step to understanding the potential for manipulating and masking scent. While a bush may conceal an animal visually from a predator it will not protect an animal from a predator using olfaction. To hide from the latter an animal needs to hide in locations where turbulence and updrafts will disperse its scent. The book addresses tradeoffs that animals must make given their dual needs to hide from predators and to procure food and water. Studies of mammalian and avian behavior provide examples on the actual use and efficacy of olfactory camouflage tactics. The book concludes with a redefinition of ecological terms based on the physics of airflow and a summary of the theory and implications of olfactory predator-prey dynamics. Introducing the mechanics of olfaction and its influence on the behavior of both predators and prey Predator-Prey Dynamics: The Role of Olfaction presents a new perception of the world and enables us to understand and more effectively manage the delicate survival dynamics of animals in the wild. | Predator-Prey Dynamics The Role of Olfaction
