One forensic technique that can reopen a case from 20 years ago is DNA analysis. Advances in DNA extraction and profiling methods allow forensic scientists to obtain usable genetic material from old or degraded samples, such as hair, blood, or skin. Additionally, the use of familial DNA searching can help identify relatives of potential suspects, providing new leads in cold cases. This technological progress can lead to breakthroughs in investigations that have remained unsolved for decades.

What is happening in the future of forensic science?

The future of forensic science is looking very bright as new doors open every day in the advancement of criminal investigations with forensic science. Just 25 years ago DNA was unable to be used to find a killer. For evidence of this just watch THE CAPTURE OF THE GREEN RIVER KILLER. In this movie, you learn about a killer in a small town that killed about 20 prostitutes in a small town in the early 80s. When the crimes are first commited DNA evidence can be gathered but they are unable to use it to find the murderer. In the late 90s, they learn of the new technique and send frozen samples in to use for this technique. Even though they are years old, the samples provide the much needed evidence to capture the killer that thought he had gotten away with this.


What is the difference between a normally open and a normally closed switch?

In switch language, open means to disconnect, or break the circuit. Some people call this "turned off". Closed, is to connect, or make the circuit. Some people call this turned on. In the case of a normally open switch, the switch is open (off) unless something takes action on the switch. Pushes a button for example, or holds a magnet near the switch, or other active force. A normally closed switch is closed (on) unless some force causes the switch to be opened.

Describe the two types of circulation?

There are open circulatory systems and there are closed circulatory systems. In the open systems found in insects and invertebrates the fluid which carries the blood does not remain within any vessels but rather it bathes the cells of the organs thus transfering the nutrients. In a closed system the blood remains within blood vessels like in the case with humans and the nutrients are diffused out of these vessels to the cells of the organs.
