Forensic Pathology: Wound and Hanging Analysis

Forensic Analysis of Wounds

The characteristics of wounds, including their edges, can provide crucial information about the instrument used. In cases of multiple injuries, the likelihood of determining the instrument’s shape increases.

The length of the weapon is primarily determined by the depth of the wound. In rare cases, the wound’s depth may exceed the weapon’s actual length.

Identifying Multiple Weapons

When a victim sustains several wounds, their size and shape can

Cardiac Muscle Physiology: Action Potentials & Heart Cycle

Cardiac Muscle Physiology: Action Potentials

The resting membrane potential of normal myocardium is -85 to -95 millivolts. The action potential recorded in ventricular muscle is 105 millivolts. This means the membrane potential rises from its normal, very negative value to a positive value of +20 millivolts.

Cardiac vs. Skeletal Muscle Action Potential

There are at least two important differences between the membrane properties of cardiac and skeletal muscle that explain the prolonged action potential

Understanding Strings, Languages, and Automata in Computing

Understanding Character Strings

A character string, word, or phrase (often simply called a string) is an ordered sequence of elements of arbitrary, though finite, length, belonging to a certain alphabet. Generally, a character string is a sequence of letters, numbers, or other symbols. In usual mathematics, the letters w, x, y, z are often used to refer to strings. From a programming standpoint, a string can consist of any finite combination of characters from the available character set.

Sporting Success: Regulation, Technical Skills, Tactics, and Strategy

Regulation in Sports

Regulation constitutes the formal structure of sports, defining and delimiting the peculiarities of a particular sport. It does so based on:

  • Framework of Competition

    This refers to the characteristics of space and materials used, and everything that helps judges ensure fair competition with identical conditions across different venues (e.g., actions, dress code, start and end of the test).

  • Rules of Play

    These are the rules that set the goal of the game and how it can be achieved,
