Disadvantages of Forensic Science

Posted in News on November 3rd, 2011 by admin – Be the first to comment

Despite numerous advantages of forensic science, there are some ethical, legal, and knowledge constraints involved in forensic analysis.

☛ DNA analysis of a person is believed to be against human ethics, as it reveals private information about an individual.
☛ Equipment used in forensic science is expensive.
☛ Scientific analysis in forensic science consumes lot of time because of which the verdict is delayed.
☛ Forensic science requires precise and accurate analysis. Even if a minor error occurs in the analysis, it may result in the wrong figure.
☛ The evidence cannot be accessible at all times.
☛ Evidence is prone to manipulation, which may end up in an unrighteous verdict.
☛ Interpretation of the analysis differs from one forensic scientist to another.
☛ Forensic analysis can be prevented by strong influences (political or financial factors).
☛ There is no particular standard to verify the result of the experiment. It requires wide knowledge and intensive study.
☛ Innovation is hindered as the approach is mostly the same.
☛ Misconceptions and ignorance can mislead the experimental analysis.
☛ Maintaining privacy and secrecy of the information gathered through forensic analysis is quite difficult.

Forensic science analysis is not an easy task to accomplish. It involves a lot of hindrances and challenges. Forensic science is not a single independent subject. It is a combination of various subjects like engineering, pathology, linguistics, forensic seismology, forensic toxicology, forensic anthropology, microchemistry, criminalistics etc. The law enforcement agencies are highly dependent upon forensic science to establish justice.

Centrosome and Cell Division

Posted in News on June 15th, 2011 by admin – Be the first to comment

The primary function of centrosome and the centriole is to assist during the process of cell division by mitosis. During mitotic cell division, also termed as karyokinesis, the chromosome number is maintained, i.e., the number of chromosomes in each daughter cell (cells formed by cell division) is the same as that of the mother cell (cell that undergoes cell division). Cell division by mitosis takes place in all the cells of the body except the reproductive cells which are produced by meiosis. While mitosis results in diploid cells, meiosis occurs in two stages leading to the formation of haploid gametes. In order to have a better understanding of the function of centrosomes, let’s have a brief look at the stages of mitosis.

Stages of Mitosis
Mitosis occurs in five stages described as under. The structure of the centrosome changes during the different phases of the cell cycle and cell division.

Interphase
This stage is the preparatory stage to mitosis during which the cell grows in size and stores enough energy to undergo cell division by mitosis. DNA is replicated during the S-phase or synthesis phase. During this stage, the DNA can be seen as loosely coiled threads called chromatin fibers, and the nuclear membrane and nucleolus are visible.

Prophase
This is the stage where the nuclear membrane dissolves and the chromatin threads condense to form chromosomes. The centrosome splits into two centromeres, which start moving towards the opposite ends of the nucleus. Formation of spindle fibers begin.

Metaphase
At this stage, the spindle fibers get attached to the individual chromatids. The chromatids get aligned along a line at the center of the nucleus, termed as the equatorial plate.

ThinkGeek Bluetooth Watch 2011

ThinkGeek is a shopping portal that offers some innovative and brilliant gadgets, and the Bluetooth watch that they offer will cost you around $79. This may look like a simple analog watch at the first glance, but there is a small 96×16 pixel OLED face in the lower portion of the watch, that actually displays the name of the person who is calling your mobile phone. Obviously, you will need to sync this watch with your mobile phone first. You will also see a text message symbol on the watch when you receive a text message on your phone, and you also have the option to mute the phone’s ringer straight from the Bluetooth watch itself. You will also get a rechargeable battery, and the rest of the watch is just like any other analog wristwatch. The popularity of this device is sure to find this feature incorporated into luxury watch brands pretty soon as well.

MobileWear by Abacus Bluetooth Watch 2011

Here is another brand that offers the same features. With MobileWear’s Bluetooth watches, you have the option to choose between a leather strap or a metallic one, and it certainly looks more pricey than the ThinkGeek one. This watch actually vibrates on your wrist when an incoming call occurs, and it then shows you the name or the number of the caller on a small OLED display. You can even recharge the battery through a USB port or universal adapter, and this battery will last for about 5 – 7 days on a single charge. The face of the watch is made of mineral glass, and it is even water resistant up to 3 feet in water. This watch will cost you around $99. read more »

I just reformatted my hardrive and my computer need the drivers for my memory card and dvd drive. I have the cd but my cd/dvd drive had no drivers so how can I use the disc if the cd dvd drive wont work?

Best reply by Peter G:

If you have an internet connection(which obviously you do since you asked this question) then search for the driver online by going to the cd/dvd drive website.

Where can I download a free dvd converter for my itunes?

I want to watch my dvd collection on my new ipod but I’ve been told you need a dvd converter. Where can I get a free download dvd converter. Everytime I look on the net it says free to try but i’ll have to pay later.

Best reply by Lucksun:

This free trial vision could convert the whole film, only have a small watermark in the left conner:
my-video-converter[dot]com/dvd_to_ipod
It is a better tool for this conversion. Besides the fast conversion speed and perfect quality, with this tool the most attractive advantage is that it supports batch conversion, also convert files you selected to only one. You can import DVD videos both by clicking “Load DVD” and “Load IFO”. IFO file is the file with control information to the VOB file. Check the box for the titles you need to join together as one file, and then check the box for “Merge into one file”.
