单芯电缆线断头痕迹实物提取方法

目的研究单芯电缆线这种离散型客体的实物提取方式、涉及的提取工具和最佳提取长度。方法采用模拟实验的方式,选用不同种类的单芯电缆线为客体,以电缆线断头痕迹不发生变化为基准,确定不同实物提取方式或不同种类工具提取单芯电缆线的最短长度。结果单芯电缆线实物提取可采取的方式主要有钳剪和割削两种,其中钳剪提取方式使用的工具为断线钳和线缆剪,割削提取方式使用的工具为钢锯和角磨机;针对直径小于16mm、非金属外护套及绝缘层的单芯电缆线,断线钳剪切提取最佳长度约为55cm,线缆剪剪切提取最佳长度约为70cm,钢锯锯割提取最佳长度约为5cm,角磨机切削提取最佳长度约为5cm。结论割削提取方法是提取电缆线断头的最佳方法;依据提取操作简便性及快捷性,角磨机(或充电式角磨机)为现场提取电缆线断头的最佳工具。

Blood and Tissue Spatter Associated with Chainsaw Dismemberment

Abstract:  In response to the unexpected paucity of blood/tissue spatter at the site where a body of an adult woman was dismembered by an electric chainsaw, we dismembered two large pig carcasses with a small electric chainsaw in a controlled environment. These experiments demonstrated first that a large carcass could be easily dismembered by a small electric chainsaw. When the chainsaw bar is held parallel to the ground the majority of the blood and tissue is deposited directly beneath the saw and bar and very little elsewhere. If the discharge chute of the saw however is not oriented directly at the ground, larger amounts of blood and tissue may be sprayed on lateral surfaces or deposited some distance from the chainsaw. The characteristic striations created on the surface of wood as it is cut by a chainsaw can also be found on bony surfaces cut by a chainsaw.     

Crack Propagation in Teeth: A Comparison of Perimortem and Postmortem Behavior of Dental Materials and Cracks*

Abstract: This study presents a new method for understanding postmortem heat-induced crack propagation patterns in teeth. The results demonstrate that patterns of postmortem heat-induced crack propagation differ from perimortem and antemortem trauma-induced crack propagation patterns. Dental material of the postmortem tooth undergoes dehydration leading to a shrinking and more brittle dentin material and a weaker dentin-enamel junction. Dentin intertubule tensile stresses are amplified by the presence of the pulp cavity, and initiates crack propagation from the internal dentin, through the dentin-enamel junction and lastly the enamel. In contrast, in vivo perimortem and antemortem trauma-induced crack propagation initiates cracking from the external surface of the enamel toward the dentin-enamel junction where the majority of the energy of the crack is dissipated, eliminating the crack’s progress into the dentin. These unique patterns of crack propagation can be used to differentiate postmortem taphonomy-induced damage from antemortem and perimortem trauma in teeth.     

6种现场常见断线钳加工特征的研究

目的研究不同品牌断线钳加工特征的差异性及痕迹反映与加工特征之间的关系。方法以6种现场常见断线钳为研究对象,首先观测断线钳的刃顶厚度、刃片咬合间隙、刃侧铣纹宽度和铣纹间距等参数,然后观测剪切断头痕迹的立顶高度、立顶厚度、刃侧铣纹印痕宽度和铣纹印痕间距等参数,并用SPSS统计软件进行处理。结果 6种品牌的断线钳加工特征存在差异,断头痕迹可以稳定地反映该差异。结论可利用断头痕迹特征推断断线钳种类。
