Nanoscience Education Workforce Training and K-12 Resources

Nanoscience Education Workforce Training and K-12 Resources

The nanotech revolution waits for no man woman or child. To revitalize science technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) performance the U. S. educational system requires a practical strategy to better educate students about nanoscale science and engineering research. This is particularly important in grades K 12 the effective gestation point for future ideas and information. Optimize your use of free resources from the National Science Foundation The first book of its kind Nanoscience Education Workforce Training and K 12 Resources promotes nano-awareness in both the public and private sectors presenting an overview of the current obstacles that must be overcome within the complex U. S. educational system before any reform is possible. It‘s a race against time and other countries and the fear is that U. S. students could lag behind for decades with ineffective teaching and learning methods handicapping their ability to compete globally. Focusing on the application of new knowledge this concise and highly readable book explores the transdisciplinary nature of nanoscience and its societal impact also addressing workforce training and risk management. Illustrating the historical perspective of the complexity of K 12 education communities it defines nanotechnology and evaluates pertinent global and national landscapes presenting examples of successful change within them. This book is composed of four sections: Foundations addresses the national educational matrix exploring the scientific and social implications associated with the delay in adopting nanoscience education in public schools Teaching Nanotechnology discusses the critical process of teaching K 12 students the skills to understand and evaluate emerging technologies they will encounter | Nanoscience Education Workforce Training and K-12 Resources

Introduction to Forensic DNA Evidence for Criminal Justice Professionals

Introduction to Forensic DNA Evidence for Criminal Justice Professionals

The use of DNA profiling in forensic cases has been considered the most innovative technique in forensic science since fingerprinting yet for those with limited scientific knowledge understanding DNA enough to utilize it properly can be a daunting task. Introduction to Forensic DNA Evidence for Criminal Justice Professionals is designed for nonscientific readers who need to learn how to effectively use forensic DNA in criminal cases. Written by a forensic scientist world renowned for her expertise in clothing examination the book provides a balanced perspective on the weight of DNA evidence. Going beyond a simple explanation of the methodology it arms attorneys and other criminal justice professionals with knowledge of the strengths and limitations of the evidence including the danger in relying on DNA statistical probabilities in the determination of guilt. The book covers the most common DNA methods used in criminal trials today nuclear DNA short tandem repeat (STR) techniques mitochondrial DNA and Y-STR profiling. It helps prosecutors know when to emphasize DNA evidence or proceed with trial in the absence of such evidence. It assists defense lawyers in knowing when to challenge DNA evidence and perhaps employ an independent expert when to focus elsewhere or when to secure the advantage of an early guilty plea. By imparting practical and theoretical knowledge in an accessible manner the book demystifies the topic to help both sides of the adversarial system understand where DNA evidence fits within the context of the case.

Forensic DNA Analysis Current Practices and Emerging Technologies

Forensic DNA Analysis Current Practices and Emerging Technologies

The field of forensic DNA analysis has grown immensely in the past two decades and genotyping of biological samples is now routinely performed in human identification (HID) laboratories. Application areas include paternity testing forensic casework family lineage studies identification of human remains and DNA databasing. Forensic DNA Analysis: Current Practices and Emerging Technologies explores the fundamental principles and the application of technologies for each aspect of forensic DNA analysis. The book begins by discussing the value of DNA evidence and how to properly recognize document collect and store it. The remaining chapters examine:The most widely adopted methods and the best practices for DNA isolation from forensic biological samples and human remainsStudies carried out on the use of both messenger RNA and small (micro) RNA profilingReal-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods for quantification and assessment of human DNA prior to genotypingCapillary electrophoresis (CE) as a tool for forensic DNA analysisNext-generation short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping kits for forensic applications the biological nature of STR loci and Y-chromosome STRs (Y-STRs)Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence analysisSingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertion/deletion polymorphisms (indels) in typing highly degraded DNADeep-sequencing technologiesThe current state of integrated systems in forensic DNA analysis The book concludes by discussing various aspects of sample-processing training and the entities that provide such training programs. This volume is an essential resource for students researchers teaching faculties and other professionals interested in human identification/forensic DNA analysis. | Forensic DNA Analysis Current Practices and Emerging Technologies

History of Construction Cultures Volume 2 Proceedings of the 7th International Congress on Construction History (7ICCH 2021) July 12-16 20

Volume 2 of History of Construction Cultures contains papers presented at the 7ICCH – Seventh International Congress on Construction History held at the Lisbon School of Architecture Portugal from 12 to 16 July 2021. The conference has been organized by the Lisbon School of Architecture (FAUL) NOVA School of Social Sciences and Humanities the Portuguese Society for Construction History Studies and the University of the Azores. The contributions cover the wide interdisciplinary spectrum of Construction History and consist on the most recent advances in theory and practical case studies analysis following themes such as: - epistemological issues; - building actors; - building materials; - building machines tools and equipment; - construction processes; - building services and techniques ; -structural theory and analysis ; - political social and economic aspects; - knowledge transfer and cultural translation of construction cultures. Furthermore papers presented at thematic sessions aim at covering important problematics historical periods and different regions of the globe opening new directions for Construction History research. We are what we build and how we build; thus the study of Construction History is now more than ever at the centre of current debates as to the shape of a sustainable future for humankind. Therefore History of Construction Cultures is a critical and indispensable work to expand our understanding of the ways in which everyday building activities have been perceived and experienced in different cultures from ancient times to our century and all over the world. | History of Construction Cultures Volume 2 Proceedings of the 7th International Congress on Construction History (7ICCH 2021) July 12-16 20

Forensic DNA Applications An Interdisciplinary Perspective

Forensic DNA Applications An Interdisciplinary Perspective

Forensic DNA Applications: An Interdisciplinary Perspective Second Edition is fully updated to outline the latest advances in forensic DNA testing techniques and applications. It continues to fill the need for a reference book for people working in the field of forensic molecular biology testing and research as well as individuals investigating and adjudicating cases involving DNA evidence whether they be civil or criminal cases. DNA techniques have greatly impacted obvious traditional forensic areas but such advances have also positively affected myriad new areas of research and inquiry. It is possible today to think about solving forensic problems that were simply unheard of even a few years ago. As such the book pulls all relevant research and applied science together into a detailed and comprehensive collection. Part I begins with the history and development of DNA typing and profiling for criminal and civil purposes.
