A Bone Proteomic Approach to Body Decomposition for Forensic Investigations

Bone proteomic methods devised for fields such as archeology and paleontology have been implemented to resolve the challenge of accurate post-mortem interval (PMI), time of death, estimation in forensic investigations. However, most of these methods have been optimized to extract a large variety of proteins without taking into account the laboratory-induced decay and post-translational modifications (PTMs).

Application of Quasi-Elastic Light Scattering (QELS) Spectroscopy to Probe Single Aerosol Particle Microphysics

Atmospheric aerosol particles both directly and indirectly affect the climate, and the extent of their effects is directly related to the physicochemical properties of the aerosol particle(s).1 Aerosol particles in the atmosphere can interact directly with incoming radiation and uptake water to activate into cloud droplets.
