TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of a sliding hip screw versus cancellous screws on the risk of reoperation and other key outcomes, and found that the sliding hip screws showed no advantage in terms of hip fracture healing, relieve pain, treat infection, or improve function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Firework displays as sources of particles similar to gunshot residue.

TL;DR: SEM-EDX analysis has detected particulate by random particle fallout onto substrates at firework displays and to assess the impact this may have on GSR evidence, with firework particle population at large providing a solid ground for discrimination from GSR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expertise in crime scene examination: comparing search strategies of expert and novice crime scene examiners in simulated crime scenes.

TL;DR: The suggestion is that the novices are put effort into detailing the scene in terms of its features, whereas the experts are putting effort into the likely actions that can be performed as a consequence of the examination.

Measuring team skills in crime scene investigation: exploring ad hoc teams

Journal ArticleDOI

Mobile technology for crime scene examination

TL;DR: Activity sampling analysis showed that participants found it much easier to integrate the wearable computer (than either paper forms or tablet computer) into their search and recovery activity, and the computer conditions produced acceptable reports in much faster time when compared to conventional practice.
