Investigating the findings of a Police workshop on the identification of skeletal material (2024)
Journal Article
Goodison, G. A., & Aris, C. (2024). Investigating the findings of a Police workshop on the identification of skeletal material. Policing, 18, https://doi.org/10.1093/police/paae055

Emergency services professionals can encounter human remains on a frequent basis, therefore an ability to locate and recognize skeletal elements would be highly beneficial. While recognizing human bone has a clear utility to those involved in searchi... Read More about Investigating the findings of a Police workshop on the identification of skeletal material.

Impact of Ring-Closing on the Photophysical Properties of One-Dimensional π-Conjugated Molecular Aggregate (2024)
Journal Article

The present knowledge of stellar evolution is still limited today by large uncertainties that derive from the complex multi-dimensional processes occurring in stars. Among them, the turbulent motions of the stellar fluid control the size and evolutio...
