...amount of hexadecimal code - and then write software to decode the information. It is not the 30-second process seen on the popular CSI television shows, but can take hours of downloading, followed by days and weeks of software development, but the results can be revealing. "You get a fingerprint of who the person is," says Harrington. Recently, Dutch forensics experts were able to extract vital information via hex dump from the remains of a phone, shattered and soaked in blood and water. "Let's talk about hex!" is the slogan on phone-forensics.com, a popular online forum where the code...
...legal system also is not keeping pace with forensic investigation methods. There have been several conflicting appellate opinions on warrantless cell phone searches and the law is not "settled" at this point, ACLU's Calabrese says. Just as emerging fingerprint and DNA technologies were challenged, cell phone evidence is under scrutiny. In the meantime, all of us - innocent citizen and criminals alike - continue to pump ever more data into cell phones and PDAs, those indispensable companions that have so much to say about...
...whole-genome analysis of the DNA from Hwang's stem cell line. By analyzing tens of thousands of gene snippets on the cells' genomes, and comparing these signatures to those of the egg donor and of the skin cell donor, they were able to determine that the DNA fingerprint of the stem cells was consistent with that of the egg. "The genetic signature of a parthenote is very very obvious," says Daley. Because the genetic material in parthenotes comes only from the egg, they are missing key genes for development that normally come from the sperm, and therefore their genetic...
Saxena, who has conducted extensive scanning research, has even come to recognize the neural fingerprint that distinguishes one less common type of OCD behavior--hoarding--from better-known ones. Hoarders who live alone have been known to crowd themselves into small areas of their home, with clear paths left from sofa to kitchen to bathroom, and the rest piled high with debris. When Saxena scanned the brains of these highly particular people, he found that they had equally particular abnormalities. Instead of hyperactivity in any area, they had reduced activity in the anterior cingulate gyrus, the part of the brain...
...interest in things like the Lebanon model as a method of preserving strategic influence in areas that are of importance to them," says Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks, the acting commander of U.S. forces in Baghdad. "That's the bane of the Middle East, and it's also the fingerprint of Iranian statecraft. And so we see that emerging here, just as we saw it emerge in Lebanon...
