  • Experiment: Latent Fingerprinting
    EXPERIMENT: DUSTED! Operating Guide Dusted! Visitors press their fingertips onto a clean Plexiglas sheet. Their fingerprints are then revealed as visitors dust over the print with fingerprint powder. OBJECTIVES: Visitors will learn that every person has a unique set of fingerprints. Visitors will understand how fingerprints are revealed on surfaces. SCIENCE TOPICS PROCESS SKILLS VOCABULARY Properties of Matter Observing Fingerprint Properties of Electrons Comparing/Contrasting Latent UNIT 7 CRIME SCENE CHEMISTRY U7.1 EXPERIENCING CHEMISTRY ©2006 OMSI EXPERIMENT: DUSTED!! Operating Guide Dusted! Procedure: 1. Always wear safety goggles. 2. Use the towel to clean and dry the plastic Plexiglas. 3. Firmly press one of your fingertips, fingerprint side down, anywhere on the Plexiglas. Try not to smudge your print. Can you see your print? 4. Take the same finger and dab it gently onto the oil sponge, then press firmly onto the Plexiglas near your other print. Can you see your print? 5. Pull the brush out of the powder container. 6. Carefully brush over where you left your fingerprints until you see clear prints. What do you see? Is one print more visible than the other? 7. Push the brush back into the powder container. 8. Take a piece of tape and press it down onto one of your prints and rub firmly. 9. Lift the tape off and place it onto a square of the black paper.

Barnes been told and retold for many years and in many ways. On the palm side of each person’s hands and on the soles of each person’s feet are prominent skin features that single him or her out from everyone else in the world. These fea- tures are present in friction ridge skin which leaves behind impressions of its shapes when it comes into contact with an object. The impressions from the last finger joints are known as fingerprints. Using fingerprints to identify indi- viduals has become commonplace, and that identification role is an invaluable tool worldwide. What some people do not know is that the use of friction ridge skin impressions as a means of identification has been around for thousands of years and has been used in several cultures. Friction ridge skin impressions were used as proof of a person’s identity in China perhaps as early as 300 B.C., in Japan as early as A.D. 702, and in the United States since 1902. 1.2 Ancient History Earthenware estimated to be 6000 years old was discov- ered at an archaeological site in northwest China and found to bear clearly discernible friction ridge impressions.

  • (MFA): the Duo Mobile App on Iphone
    Duo Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): The Duo Mobile App on iPhone The Duo Mobile application makes it easy to authenticate – just tap “Approve” on the login request sent to your iPhone. You can also quickly generate login passcodes, even without an Internet connection or cell service. Supported Platforms: The current version of Duo Mobile supports iOS 6.0 and greater. Older releases of iOS can install Duo Mobile v3.1.0 from the App Store. To see which version of Duo Mobile is installed on your device, go to the iOS “Settings” menu, then scroll down and tap “Duo Mobile.” The "System Info" section shows the app version. Duo Push Duo Push is the easiest and quickest way of authenticating. You'll get a login request sent to your phone – just press “Approve” to authenticate. If you get a login request that you weren't expecting, press “Deny” to reject the request. You’ll be given the ability to report it as fraudulent, or you can tap “It was a mistake” to deny the request without reporting it. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Documentation: iPhone and Duo Mobile [1] Touch ID Duo Mobile for iOS also supports Touch ID for Duo Push-based logins; an additional layer of security to verify your users’ identities. If you're using a Touch ID capable iOS device, you'll see a Touch ID prompt each time you authenticate via Duo Mobile (if required by your administrator). If you're not able to scan your fingerprint using the TouchID sensor you can also approve the Duo authentication request using the device's passcode (the same one you use on the iOS lock screen).

Security and recognition accuracy are the two most important aspects to consider in designing a biometric system. In this paper, a comprehensive review is presented to shed light on the latest developments in the study of fingerprint-based biometrics covering these two aspects with a view to improving system security and recognition accuracy. Based on a thorough analysis and discussion, limitations of existing research work are outlined and suggestions for future work are provided. It is shown in the paper that researchers continue to face challenges in tackling the two most critical attacks to biometric systems, namely, attacks to the user interface and template databases. How to design proper countermeasures to thwart these attacks, thereby providing strong security and yet at the same time maintaining high recognition accuracy, is a hot research topic currently, as well as in the foreseeable future.

MCNEILL AHA Presidential Address Peak Document and the Future of History J. R. MCNEILL Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/ahr/article-abstract/125/1/1/5721569 by Loyola University Chicago user on 03 March 2020 SOME YEARS AGO,IHAD the good fortune to join a small troop of geologists tramping around northeastern Iceland on the trail of a jökulhlaup.Tofind traces of a jökulhlaup, you hunt for rounded “erratics.” In Iceland, those erratics—boulders that look out of place—with craggy edges were probably pushed along by glaciers, and those with rounded edges probably tumbled into position in giant floods that resulted when volca- nic eruptions melted ice dams holding back sub-glacial lakes—in other words, in a jökulhlaup. My colleagues and I focused on erratics tossed around by a monster flood that, it seems, for two or three days had carried water equivalent to one hundred times the av- erage flow of the Amazon.1 By chiseling off chips from each boulder and sending them to a lab for something called cosmogenic radionuclide exposure dating, we learned that this jökulhlaup happened about seven to ten thousand years ago, a keen disappointment to me.2 I was hoping for a date recent enough to register in the human history of Ice- land, which began only about 1,150 years ago, and for a research project to which his- torians might be able to contribute.

  • Exact Same DNA
    DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic Acid, is the genetic material in our cells. • No two people (except identical twins) have the exact same DNA. DNA patterns from four sets of twins – which are identical? DNA fingerprinting is also known as DNA profiling. It is a technique used by scientists to distinguish between individuals of the same species using only samples of their DNA. i. The process of DNA fingerprinting was invented by English geneticist Alec Jeffreys at the University of Leicester in 1985. DNA fingerprinting has been used to help solve crimes by linking suspects to crimes and by helping identify bodies of victims. In addition to crime investigation, DNA fingerprinting can also be used to: 1.establish paternity and parentage DNA paternity testing can indicate that a man is highly likely to be the father with about 99.9% accuracy or that he is excluded as being the father with 100% accuracy. In addition to crime investigation, DNA fingerprinting can also be used to: 1.establish paternity and parentage 2.identify victims of war and large scale disasters 3.study biodiversity of species 4.track genetically modified crops 5.settle immigration disputes Most lab techniques used for DNA fingerprinting were not intended for these purposes, but instead were developed for use in the medical field for diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Small amounts of biological evidence left at crime scenes, called trace evidence, are the source of DNA needed for DNA fingerprinting. • Biological evidence includes saliva, blood, semen, skin, hair roots, body tissue cells, and even urine. DNA is a nucleic acid, found in chromosomes, in the nucleus of your cells.
