Larry Farwell, a Harvard-trained neuroscientist who works out of a small office in the Washington Technology Center on the University of Washington campus, hopes to use the case of Oklahoma death-row inmate Jimmy Ray Slaughter to convince law enforcement officials and the courts that the technique is scientifically sound and accurate. Farwell, whose father was a UW physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project, believes that Slaughter's case could be a key test of legal acceptance of the technique. Grant M. Haller / P-I

Play Print Email to a friend New sprays catch elusive fingerprints Anna Salleh ABC Science Online Friday, 28 November 2003 Fingerprints can now be lifted from rough surfaces (Erie County Sheriff's Office) Forensics experts will no longer need to collect fingerprints from smooth surfaces, according to Australian research, which has tested new chemical sprays that allow prints to be lifted from surfaces as rough as bricks. Katherine Flynn and colleagues from the University of Technology, Sydney and the Australian Federal Police will publish their work in the Journal of Forensic Sciences The researchers also presented their findings this week at a Sydney conference, Lifting the Identification Profile , which celebrated the 100th anniversary of the introduction of fingerprinting in Australia. Fingerprints are one of the most important ways police identify criminals. But picking them up relies on ways of making them visible. Traditionally, this means using a fine powder, such as aluminium or titanium dioxide, which sticks to the fingerprint's moisture and oily components. Powdering is cheap, quick and easy to use. But 10% of prints are obliterated when the powder is brushed on. And forensic experts cannot always use the method to pick up old prints that have lost their 'stickiness'.

146. Cornell News: Fingerprint Study Practical reasons militate against wholesale rejection of fingerprinting, and I expect that the FBI and other organizations will try to upgrade its scientific http://www.news.cornell.edu/releases/Jan02/fingerprint.study.deb.html

Fingerprint evidence under judicial assault unlikely to be replaced by DNA profiling for criminal identification, says Cornell researcher FOR RELEASE: Jan. 24, 2002 Contact: David Brand Office: 607-255-3651 E-Mail: deb27@cornell.edu ITHACA, N.Y. Fingerprint identification, which recently was ruled by a Philadelphia federal judge to be scientifically flawed as evidence, is unlikely to be replaced by DNA profiling in the courts, says a Cornell University researcher. The main reason, he says: Police have come to rely on fingerprint analysis so heavily in presenting evidence. "There are so many cases in which there are no evidentiary equivalents, including DNA profiling. Practical reasons militate against wholesale rejection of fingerprinting, and I expect that the FBI and other organizations will try to upgrade its scientific credentials," says Michael Lynch, professor of science and technology studies at Cornell. Lynch and Simon Cole, a Cornell visiting scientist, have been awarded a $144,000 grant by the National Science Foundation to conduct a yearlong study comparing the scientific histories of DNA profiling and fingerprinting and the sociological implications of the two techniques in their use as evidence in placing criminal defendants at crime scenes. In 1995 Lynch made a study of the first national database of DNA profiles, set up by the British government. Cole is the author of the book Suspect Identities: A History of Fingerprinting and Criminal Identification

Trivedi for National Geographic Today September 24, 2001 Researchers have developed a way to "fingerprint" cod. The technique, essentially a genetic identification tag, enables researchers to determine a specific cod's place of origin, which could be particularly useful in enforcing international fishing quotas and catching poachers.

Photograph from Bettmann/CORBIS More News Kids News The Environment Travel National Geographic Channel Special Series Emerging Explorers TravelWatch National Geographic Out There Oceans ... Pulse of the Planet Until now there have been no means for determining where cod have been caught once they end up at the fish market.

Tracing Marks to the Killer Advocates for gun control want to expand the resources of ballistics investigators by creating a national computerized system for tracing bullets and shell casings to the guns that fired them. The system would require manufacturers to test-fire new guns before selling them to stores. Data detailing markings left on bullets by each weapon would then be entered into a computerized system known as IBIS. Proponents say a national ballistic fingerprinting system would allow investigators who have found a bullet or bullets at the scene of a crime to enter data about the bullet's markings into the database and then quickly retrieve possible gun matches. This information could help lead them to the gun's buyer and possibly the perpetrator.

Applications of GE in fighting Disease The universal principle of molecular recognition. This should be very familiar to you by now, so it may turn up on exams. Every cell contains membrane-bound molecules exposed to the environment which communicate with it. These molecules act as the "eyes, ears and nose" of a cell. That is, they "see", or "smell" what other molecules are out there like a hunting dog winds its prey. They contain, as part of each molecule, specific regions on each molecule called RECEPTORS or BINDING SITES . Molecules in the environment contain specific components called LIGANDS that have the characteristic of binding or attaching (docking with) specifically at unique sites on the cell's receptor molecules. Following this attachment a number of different responses may occur. In some cases a message is passed to the interior of each cell as to the situation it has found, while in others the attached molecule may be transported into the cell. In the former case this information, in turn, triggers the cell to carry out a series of preprogrammed responses based on the data it has received; this is analogous to the Mars rover receiving commands from earth. We will discuss some of these responses throughout the course. Permission to use this cartoon was granted by

Robert Malan, and Farnam Jahanian, University of Michigan Abstract. http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/sec2000/smart.html

Abstract - Security Symposium - 2000 Defeating TCP/IP Stack Fingerprinting Matthew Smart, G. Robert Malan, and Farnam Jahanian, University of Michigan Abstract This paper describes the design and implementation of a TCP/IP stack fingerprint scrubber. The fingerprint scrubber is a new tool to restrict a remote user's ability to determine the operating system of another host on the network. Allowing entire subnetworks to be remotely scanned and characterized opens up security vulnerabilities. Specifically, operating system exploits can be efficiently run against a pre-scanned network because exploits will usually only work against a specific operating system or software running on that platform. The fingerprint scrubber works at both the network and transport layers to convert ambiguous traffic from a heterogeneous group of hosts into sanitized packets that do not reveal clues about the hosts' operating systems. This paper evaluates the performance of a fingerprint scrubber implemented in the FreeBSD kernel and looks at the limitations of this approach. View the full text of this paper in HTML form

158. Paper -- Passive System Fingerprinting Using Network Client Applications Passive System fingerprinting using Network Client Applications. Jose Nazario. Four methods of fingerprinting a system are presented, with sample data provided. http://www.crimelabs.net/docs/passive.html

Passive System Fingerprinting using Network Client Applications Jose Nazario November 27, 2000 ABSTRACT: Passive target fingerprinting involves the utilization of network traffic between two hosts by a third system to identify the types of systems being used. Because no data is sent to either system by the monitoring party, detection approaches the impossible. Methods which rely solely on the IP options present in normal traffic are limited in the accuracy about the targets. Further inspection is also needed to determine avenues of vulnerability, as well. We describe a method to rapidly identify target operating systems and version, as well as vectors of attack, based on data sent by client applications. While simplistic, it is robust. The accuracy of this method is also quite high in most cases. Four methods of fingerprinting a system are presented, with sample data provided.

DNA is isolated from a sample such as blood, saliva, semen, tissue, or hair. DNA has to be cleaned up, because, unlike in a pristine laboratory, samples at a crime scene are often contaminated by dirt and other debris. Sometimes, DNA must be isolated from samples dried to patches of cloth or carpet, and getting the sample safely out of these fabrics adds additional steps to the isolation and purification processes. The huge genome is cut up with restriction enzymes to produce short, manageable DNA fragments. These bacterial enzymes recognize specific four to six base sequences and reliably cleave DNA at a specific base pair within this span. Cleaving human DNA with one of these enzymes breaks the chromosomes down into millions of differently sized DNA fragments ranging from 100 to more than 10,000 base pairs long. You have to carefully select an enzyme that doesn't cut within any of the VNTR loci that are being studied; for RFLP analysis, the enzyme(s) chosen will ideally cut close to the end on the outside of a VNTR region.
