Fingerprint analysis is a popular identification technique due to the uniqueness of
fingerprints and the convenience of recording them. The quality of a latent fingerprint on a …

Thin-film-deposition techniques used to develop latent fingerprints are continuously
maturing. Vacuum metal deposition (VMD) is a commonly used technique in which thin films …

A partial bloody fingerprint has both a bloody part and a non-bloody part, each of which
should be developed for visualization. Traditional techniques employ developmental …

Irrespective of the technology, we now rely on touch to interact with devices such as smart
phones, tablet computers, and control panels. As a result, touch screen technologies are …

Temporally periodic physical vapor deposition (TP-PVD) is commonly used to fabricate
Bragg mirrors on planar surfaces. These devices are notionally of infinite transverse extent …

A systematic study was undertaken on the influence of environmental insult on the efficacy of
develo** a latent fingermark on a nonporous substrate by the deposition of a conformal …

The goals of this study were to (a) ascertain human identity capabilities of DNA obtained
from latent fingerprints that have been first environmentally insulted and then developed by …

CDs and DVDs are forensically important substrates for latent fingermarks. To enhance the
visualization of fingermarks on CDs and DVDs, columnar thin films (CTFs) of either nickel or …

Fingerprint enhancement often includes either physical or chemical approaches, such as
fingerprint powder or cyanoacrylate fuming, to improve the quality of a fingerprint for …

Partial-bloody fingerprints and partial fingerprints with saliva are often encountered at crime
scenes, potentially enabling the combination of fingerprint and DNA analyses for absolute …
