Evaporation of a drop, though a simple everyday observation, provides a fascinating subject
for study. Various issues interact here, such as dynamics of the contact line, evaporation …

This comparative review highlights the relationships between the disciplines of bloodstain
pattern analysis (BPA) in forensics and that of fluid dynamics (FD) in the physical sciences …

Bringing together basic ideas, classical theories, recent experimental and theoretical
aspects, this book explains desiccation cracks from simple, easily-comprehensible cases to …

The drying of a drop of blood or plasma on a solid substrate leads to the formation of
interesting and complex patterns. Inter-and intra-cellular and macromolecular interactions in …

Drying of biologically-relevant sessile droplets, including passive systems such as DNA,
proteins, plasma, and blood, as well as active microbial systems comprising bacterial and …

The complex patterns observed from evaporated liquid drops have been examined
extensively over the last 20 years. Complete understanding of drop deposition is vital in …

The drying of a deposited drop of blood leads to the formation of a complex pattern.
Numerous coupled mechanisms are involved in this process, such as evaporation, flow …

The drying of a drop deposited on a solid substrate has been the subject of several
investigations including biomedical and forensic fields. These studies also focus on the …

Drying complex fluids is a common phenomenon where a liquid phase transforms into a
dense or porous solid. This transformation involves several physical processes, such as the …

In this paper, we report a study on the drying process of whole human blood drops on glass
substrates. It was shown previously (Brutin et al., 2011) that some diseases can change the …
