NIST Helps Close Electronic Nooks To Computer-Using Crooks

Classic bits of evidence collected by police at a crime scene include the smoking gun, fingerprints and lipstick on a glass. However, today’s investigators often must search beyond the obvious for the missing piece that will solve the puzzle—like within a computer’s hard drive.Forensic science specialists invited to the National Institute of Standards and Technology recently completed a guide for law enforcement officers titled Electronic Crime Scene Investigation: A Guide for First Responders. The booklet provides investigators who regularly are the first to arrive at a crime scene (known as “first responders”) with an overview of what kinds of electronic evidence may be available to them in devices ranging from large computers to pagers.When people began using computers to directly commit...

Cyber Forensic Researchers Make The Call: Crime Scene Evidence Is Quickly Extracted From Mobile Phones

Cyber forensic researchers designed a device to extract the memory of a mobile phone for crime scene evidence. The phone's memory card is placed in the device where computer software extracts and decodes the information--revealing call history, text messages, emails, images, video and the calendar. This information is then used by police as evidence in crimes.A good fingerprint at a crime scene isn't always the smoking gun for solving crimes. Thanks to new technology, crime solving is going digital.Ernest Brice had plans to rent out his house, but it became a target for burglars instead. Thieves stole almost everything inside."I feel victimized," said Brice.Brice's crime was never solved, but police say digital evidence left behind from cell phones, computers or PDAs can be found at nearly...

How the Brain Cell Works: A Dive Into Its Inner Network

(Dec. 21, 2011) — University of Miami (UM) biology professor Akira Chiba is leading a multidisciplinary team to develop the first systematic survey of protein interactions within brain cells. The team is aiming to reconstruct genome-wide in situprotein-protein interaction networks (isPIN) within the neurons of a multicellular organism. Preliminary data were presented at the American Society for Cell Biology annual meeting, December 3 through 7, 2011, in Denver, Colorado. This work brings us closer to understanding the mechanics of molecules that keep us functioning," says Chiba, principal investigator of this project. "Knowing how our cells...

A new study from The Australian National University shows that online therapy programs can play a major and long-lasting role in treating depression. Dr Lou Farrer, from the ANU Centre for Mental Health Research (CMHR), trialled the effectiveness of online programs MoodGYM and BluePages when used in conjunction with telephone counselling services provided by Lifeline. Dr Farrer said there was an immediate drop in symptoms of depression among callers to Lifeline who used the two programs. “We worked with Lifeline centres in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. Lifeline counsellors in these centres identified callers who...
