Chapter 5, Problem 1CTQ
The amount of dust that collects in a house with an assortment of dogs, cats, and people is truly amazing. A lot of these dust particles had a previous "life" as part of the home's living occupants. Where did the dust originate on the human body?

Dust can be found if every household, either it contains pets or not such as dogs and cats. It is said that these dusts was “alive” as part of home’s living occupants. Do you think these particles could possibly originate from the human body? Why or why not?
Fog on a radiograph becomes objectionable when one body part size is larger than another. Based on what you read, explain which body part will be objectionable?
How is scatter affected when the body part is thicker or larger?
Name three strategies that can be used to reduce scatter radiation fog.

compounds where scientists study what happens to human bodies
after death. Bodies that are donated for scientific study are left
outside designated areas. Their decay is tracked under various
conditions (heat, cold, humidity). The observations and data
collected contribute to forensic scientists' understanding of the
factors that impact how a body changes after death
timeline of what happens after death is a useful tool for doctors and investigators. As you have seen, most
ese changes overlap and are influenced by outside factors, So investigators never rely on only one to two
ese indicators. All the clues from the body, combined with clues from the scene, are needed to paint the
icture of what occurred.
e Markers: Clues are also left at the scene, often referred to as scene markers, that help establish a
re. These markers may include dated texts, emails, or mail, a broken clock, or even dishes in the sink.

Their expedition is happening in winter, and the group set out each carrying a pack of supplies including tents, sleeping gear, and food for either 3 well-fed days or up to 8 days with rationing (approximately 30kg each). The treasure hunters travel on foot to get to the castle through lands where there are predators such as wolves and bears. They have two options in terms of speed of travel: slow (7 days to castle), and fast (4 days to castle). 1) As an advisor to the group, which speed would you say they should travel? Note – neither speed is wrong however your answer must justify your choice in terms of physiology. Once the group get to the…arrow_forward
- A person is declared dead upon the irreversible ceasing of spontaneous body functions: brain activity, blood circulation, and respiration. Only about 1% of a body's cells have to die in order for all of these things to happen. How can a person be dead when 99% of his or her cells are alive?arrow_forwardAfter being hired by a secret government, contracting company, you discovered they have the United States, Canadian, and Mexico contract for researching alien technology, and recovered bodies. Looking at old files – to catch up on what was done back in the 1950s (after the 1947 Roswell NM recovery of a “flying disc”), you find out that when provided a mixture of corn oil, sheep liver, and 3 carrots per day all of the sick aliens started to recover and got better. But, when they tried to feed them more than four carrots, per day, many of the aliens appear to have toxicity symptoms… They didn’t look well. Knowing what you know about the DRIs - Dietary Reference Intakes - you have determined that: 1. The RDA for Roswell Aliens was how many carrots per day? 2. The UL - upper limit for Roswell Aliens was how many carrots per day?arrow_forwardFor many years, scientists believed in the "Miasma Theory" which suggested that many diseases, such as cholera and the black death, were caused by pollution or bad air. Hospitals would air rooms out daily by opening windows to remove any bad air that might infect patients. When microscopes were invented, scientists could view very tiny organisms that lived in water and on surfaces all around them. Many scientists believed it was these "germs" that spread disease and not the air. Robert Koch was able to isolate microorganisms from sheep that had contracted anthrax. He grew these bacteria and then injected them in mice. The mice became sick with anthrax. REASONING: If microbes (germs) were responsible for causing anthrax, then... a) sheep and mice that were in the same area would both get sick b) sheep would get sick, but not mice c) microbes from sick sheep could make mice sickarrow_forward
