Abstract:

"Fire investigators have historically relied upon fire damage as a means to conclude where a fire originated despite the lack of formal processes. The historical and current literature on the topic was evaluated with a specific emphasis toward the research conducted over the past eighty years related to fire patterns and their creation in the context of the fire environment. A seven step reasoning process for evaluating damage for determining the area of origin, along with a new definition for the term fire pattern, was developed. The aim was to develop and implement into practice a decision

Abstract:

Portland cement (PC) concrete has historically been the most commonly used construction material within the United Arab Emirates (UAE), however, as the demand increases to reduce CO2 emissions most of newly-built facilities make use of modern concrete formulations adopting various PC substitutes, and these ‘blended cements’ typically involve mineral admixtures such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF). The percentage of PC replaced in these concrete mixtures varies depending on the type of cement and design criteria as well as other related issues s

Abstract:

Il ruolo della Fire Investigation, intesa come attività investigativa, riguarda l'esame degli episodi legati agli incendi con la finalità di determinarne le cause. Tale disciplina rientra nel campo dell'ingegneria forense, abbracciando diversi ambiti specialistici che hanno lo scopo di ricostruire il nesso eziologico fondato su principi scientifici che coniugano l'ingegneria strutturale con il diritto. L’investigazione sulle cause d’incendio/esplosione è un’attività che richiede particolari conoscenze multidisciplinari, quali quelle relative al fenomeno incendio o quelle sul comportamento al f

Abstract:

This study evaluates the use of commercially available instruments for locating and collecting accelerants in the field. Electronic noses can be used to scan a fire scene for the possible presence of an accelerant. The TLV Sniffer® was found to be able to detect accelerants at low levels but did alert to some burned matrix alone. When subjected to a proficiency test designed for canines, the TLV Sniffer® was able to locate accelerants in two of the three tests. The tpi®Pocket was found not to be sensitive or selective enough to be useful in locating accelerants. Once the location of possible a

Abstract:

This project aims to provide a broad but detailed discussion of the interrelationships between archaeological theory and practice, the preserved material record, scientific understanding of the nature of structural fire dynamics and the current practice of fire investigators in excavating forensic fire scenes In a UK context. By drawing these disciplines together, it seeks to achieve a number of distinct goals; improved understanding of structural fires as they are preserved in the archaeological record; the identification of a range of methodological tools that may benefit the practice of arc

"Fire investigative methodologies were researched and analyzed resulting in the development of an organizational tool to be used for conducting fire investigations. The tool, or field-guide, was designed to aid the investigator in processing structural fire scenes. The tool accomplishes this by providing, 1) thirteen forms for properly documenting the scene, 2) flowcharts which can enhance the investigators intuition for the fireâ€™s growth rate and spread, and 3) basic engineering correlations which can be used to help validate hypotheses the investigator may develop.

Abstract:

Digital forensics is the science concerned with discovering, preserving, and analyzing evidence on digital devices. The intent is to be able to determine what events have taken place, when they occurred, who performed them, and how they were performed. In order for an investigation to be effective, it must exhibit several characteristics. The results produced must be reliable, or else the theory of events based on the results will be flawed. The investigation must be comprehensive, meaning that it must analyze all targets which may contain evidence of forensic interest. Since any investi

Abstract:

In computer forensics, digital evidence related to time is both important and complex. The rules of changes in time associated with digital evidence, such as files or folders, can be used to analyze certain user behaviors like data access, modification or transfer. However, the format and the rules in time information for user actions are quite different for different file systems, even for different versions of operating systems with the same file system. Some research on temporal analysis has already been done on NTFS and FAT file systems, while there are few resources that describe tempor

The objective of this research is to evaluate and develop new forensic techniques for use in honeynet environments, in an effort to address areas where anti-forensic techniques defeat current forensic methods. The fields of Computer and Network Security have expanded with time to become inclusive of many complex ideas and algorithms. With ease, a student of these fields can fall into the thought pattern of preventive measures as the only major thrust of the topics. It is equally important to be able to determine the cause of a security breach. Thus, the field of Computer Forensics has grow

Abstract:

Hollow-fibre liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) was introduced in 1999 as a miniaturised version of liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) in order to reduce the consumption of organic solvents and offer an environmentally-friendly approach to extraction procedures. Since then, several studies have been published in the field of forensic and clinical toxicology applying the technique to a broad range of analytes; however more studies are necessary regarding its applicability to bioanalyses. The principle of HF-LPME is the extraction of analytes across a thin supported liquid membrane within the wa

Abstract:

The forensic assessment of young children is a difficult and often daunting task for professionals working in the field of child sexual abuse. A forensic assessment with pre-school children requires that the professional have knowledge of various aspects of the children themselves and the disclosure of abuse, and remain as neutral and objective as possible while conducting the assessment. Literature indicates that the knowledge of the child’s social, behavioural and developmental level is essential in order to conduct a developmental sensitive forensic interview.

The purpose of this thesis is to present an investigation methodology known as Structural Fire Investigation, which aims at identifying the causes, both pre-existing and latent, that led to a fire incident. Such investigation includes structural and forensic operations ranging from the gathering of initial information to evidence sampling and from document analysis to computational tests.

Abstract:

In Ontario, fire investigators from the Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) are responsible for determining the origin and cause of suspicious fires. As part of the investigation, fire debris samples are collected from the scene and analyzed by the Centre of Forensic Sciences. The standard practice is to collect items that are porous, highly absorbent or adsorbent with high surface areas as they allow for better retention of the ignitable liquids. The evidence typically collected includes carpets, cardboards, soils, cloths and other items that have not been impinged by flame such as beneath baseb
