Forensic science

Abstract

He Joined the company in 1959 as a radiochemist. His current work is directed toward developing advanced techniques for semiconductor materials characterization using electron beam (scanning Auger) and in microprobe techniques for chemical imperfections. X-ray topography, and scanning transmission electron microscopy techniques for physical imperfections. Larrabee earned a B.Sc. from the University ol Bishop's College In Quebec and an M.Sc. in chemistry from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. He has published in analytical, electrochemical, and instrumentation journals and contributed chaplers In books. He has coauthored a book on the characterization of semiconductor materials and coedited a book on the characterization of solid surfaces. Larrabee is a member of the ACS, Electrochemical Society, SAS, and the Dallas Society of Analytical Chemists. R. Allen Bowling received his B.S. In Chemistry from the University ol Alabama and a Ph.D. In Chemistry from ihe University of Tennessee.He held an Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral research position at the Institute ol Inorganic Chemistry, University of Frankfurt, West Germany, from March 1979 to July 1980. He joined Texas Instruments Incorporated in September 1980 as a process control engineer in a semiconductor processing area. In January 1982, he became a member of the technical staff in the Materials Characterization Branch of the Materials Science Laboratory of Texas Instruments, where he is presently responsible for Auger and XPS instrumentation. Bowling is a member of the Electrochemical Society and the American Vacuum Society.

U.S. initiatives to strengthen forensic science & international standards in forensic DNA

“…Table 4 provides a summary listing of Analytical Chemistry application reviews that covered three decades of forensic science publications and activities spanning from 1980 to 2010. A total of 15 review articles were published every other year during this time period [ 46 – 60 ]. These articles initially focused on three aspects of forensic science: (1) drugs and poison, (2) forensic biochemistry, and (3) trace evidence.…”

“…Tom Brettell and Rich Saferstein began these reviews while working at the New Jersey State Police Forensic Science Bureau (Hamilton, NJ) and the first eight reviews (1983–1997) were written solely by them [ 46 – 53 ]. Additional co-authors were included in more recent reviews to gain further expertise on specific forensic disciplines.…”

“…These Analytical Chemistry application reviews [ 46 – 60 ] surveyed articles primarily from the Journal of Forensic Sciences, Science & Justice (and its predecessor Journal of the Forensic Science Society prior to 1995), Forensic Science International (and its daughter journal Forensic Science International: Genetics after 2007), Journal of the Canadian Society of Forensic Science , Journal of Forensic Identification , Forensic Science Review , Analytical Toxicology , The Microscope , and Chemical Abstracts. While the review article information is helpful to define the range of literature published during the time periods covered, the brief descriptions given for each article in no way attempt to prioritize publications listed or provide an assessment of the quality of the work.…”
