Death Decomposition and Detector Dogs From Science to Scene

Death Decomposition and Detector Dogs From Science to Scene

Death Decomposition and Detector Dogs: From Science to Scene Second Edition is designed to help canine handlers detectives death investigators crime scene personnel (including forensic laboratory personnel technicians and supervisors) and attorneys understand the science involved when utilizing human remains detector (HRD) canines as a locating tool. The book covers the basic anatomy and physiology of canine olfaction and the unique characteristics of their scenting ability that allows dogs to be trained to locate distinct odors. Using concise and clear explanations and photographs the book reviews the science of forensic taphonomy. Factors that may affect the decomposition process are highlighted along with what the potential outcomes that may be encountered. The book examines how the odor of human remains is generated through various stages of decomposition and the manner in which environmental conditions in both land and water settings may affect that odor. Different types of background information that may help in determining possible search locations for missing individuals are included as well as assist the HRD canine handler in developing search plans are covered. Different tools and technologies that may be used in addition to an HRD canine team are included to help readers understand that are many ways to address searching for a decedent. Several case reports involving decedents found in both land and water settings in addition to different weather conditions are included to help the reader understand how the environment may have affected the condition of the decedent. This edition includes more case reports explaining how environmental factors were considered in HRD canine deployments in both land and water settings. Understanding which variables—and how such variables—can affect the state and condition of human remains as well as dispersion of odor from human remains will help canine handlers utilize their HRD canine more effectively as a locating tool.

Detector Dogs and Scent Movement How Weather Terrain and Vegetation Influence Search Strategies

Detector Dogs and Scent Movement How Weather Terrain and Vegetation Influence Search Strategies

Dogs detect scent from a source that is carried to them in a plume by the wind. The most important tool for a detector dog handler to have on searches is a knowledge of scent plume movement or scent dynamics (the science of scent movement). Such knowledge resides primarily in scientific journals that are largely inaccessible to detector dog handlers and written in language that is difficult to understand. Detector Dogs and the Science of Scent Movement: A Handler’s Guide to Environments and Procedures retrieves reviews and interprets the results of pertinent scientific research on scent dynamics and presents these results in terms that are easier for handlers to understand. Information on the physiology of the dog’s nose their sense of smell and the properties of scent provide the essential information on the process of scenting. The composition of training aids for explosives narcotics human remains and other sources is discussed. Recommendations are made on the use of training aids their placement during training and the resulting availability of scent. Potential problems and handler errors in the use of training aids are also examined. The characteristics of scent plumes and how wind influences their movement are a key focus of the book. The primary task for the handler is to get the dog into the scent plume so that the dog can detect the scent and follow it to the source the handler seeks. As such a knowledge of scent and scent plume movement will vastly improve the ability of the handler to accomplish this task. The influence of weather and physical settings such as terrain vegetation ground cover soil and water on scent movement are examined in detail. Strategies for searching detecting and locating sources in all physical settings are presented. Specific effects associated with hills and mountains fields and forests bare soils and soils covered by vegetation different soil types and lakes and rivers are examined in detail. This includes specific recommendations are made about weather and physical settings that result in higher probability of success on searches. Detector Dogs and the Science of Scent Movement will be a vital resource for K9 handles in the private and public sectors—including in Homeland Security law enforcement and military settings—as well as a useful guide for lawyers forensic and investigative professionals who need to better understand K9 operations. | Detector Dogs and Scent Movement How Weather Terrain and Vegetation Influence Search Strategies

Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats

Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats

Diagnostic MRI in Dogs and Cats makes the vast and increasingly complex topic of clinical MRI in small animals accessible to all veterinarians. With the increasing availability of MRI technology there is also a pressing need for expertise in interpreting these images. This is the first reference textbook to provide a well-illustrated and comprehensive overview of the current knowledge focusing on imaging appearance rather than on clinical signs or treatment. With chapters on MRI physics and technology as well as sections on specific anatomical regions the book functions as a stand-alone reference for the reader whether they be a radiology/neurology resident in training or a practitioner with a need to learn about veterinary clinical MRI. Includes both evidenced-based material and the authors' personal experience providing an excellent overview of current knowledge in the field. Contributors are international leaders in the field. Bullet points format and table summaries throughout the book keep the concepts concise and organized. Richly illustrated with over 650 annotated images showcasing the main features of the disease processes. Images are obtained at all magnet field strengths so as to reflect the current reality of veterinary MRI which uses low- mid- and high-field magnets. The chapters on physics and MRI technology are concise and accessible using many visual aids and diagrams and avoiding abstract concepts and equations whenever possible. Within each anatomical section each chapter focuses on a disease category of that body region. When it is important to understand the imaging appearance the pathophysiology is reviewed and imaging features of prognostic relevance are detailed. This practical yet thoroughly comprehensive book is primarily an evidence-based learning resource for trainees but will also aid practising veterinarians who have less MRI experience.
