Assessment of disputed identity of blood alcohol samples using DNA fingerprinting

DNA fingerprinting is a perfect tool for investigating the identity of disputed blood by alcohol samples extracted. However, blood samples stored at an ambient temperature for longer periods can show considerable degradation of high-molecular DNA, diminishing the value of fingerprint investigation because of loss of the less frequent bands formed by the longer DNA fragments. Addition of the complexing agent EDTA can retard this degradation. Determination of the sex with DNA probes in the blood alcohol sample increases confidence in the investigation.     

Teaching management without cases

Many of the qualities of case method teachitig stem from the classroom method and not merely from the case. This article describes five noncase exercises designed to achieve purposes that cases are often used to accomplish, but which experience indicates, can do the job more easily. They are all based on the proposition that attention to the classroom method and not merely to the case will allow instructors to teach public management more effectively.
