Gospel of the Marseille Docker - Nicholas Derybolsky from 1952

This text, accompanied by a ‘gospel’ that I made by montaging the US-recorded captions, is an attempt for re-narrating Marshall Plan’s discourse on the working class, aka the so-called ‘free labor’ of the US against the ‘communist labor’ of the “Soviet thr ...

Quantification of THC in Cannabis plants by fast-HPLC-DAD: A promising method for routine analyses

Christophe Roussel, Céline Burnier

Nowadays, Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) is mainly used in forensic sciences but suffers from limitations when the analysed compounds are thermally instable as it is the case for THC-A (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid) which is converted into Del ...

Validation of likelihood ratio methods for forensic evidence evaluation handling multimodal score distributions

Rudolf Haraksim

This study presents a method for computing likelihood ratios (LRs) from multimodal score distributions, as the ones produced by some commercial off-the-shelf automated fingerprint identification systems (AFISs). The AFIS algorithms used to compare fingerma ...
