Glass is an amorphous solid which is widely found as an evidence in the scene of crime. Glass holds significant forensic significance due to its prevalence at crime scenes and its ability to provide valuable evidence. Analysis of glass fragments, fracture patterns, and composition can help determine the sequence of events, source of impact, and even link suspects to a crime. This presentation consist of the types of glass encountered and it's forensic analysis.
Glass is a hard, brittle material produced by cooling molten silica, soda, and lime. There are several types of glass including float glass commonly used in windows, laminated glass used in windshields, and tempered safety glass used in car windows. Physical properties like density and refractive index can be used to analyze glass evidence. Examination methods include physical matching of broken edges, measuring density through flotation or using a density gradient column, and determining refractive index through immersion or hot stage methods. Chemical analysis like SEM-EDX can also identify elemental composition. Fracture patterns in glass can provide information about the force and direction that caused the break.

Physical characteristics like plant and animal materials or artificial debris are examined microscopically. Chemical characteristics like pH levels and minerals are also analyzed. To determine if soil samples have a common origin, analysts consider multiple comparable features and how frequently they occur. Proper training in geology is important since there are over 2,200 minerals that can be present in soil.
Internal ballistics is the study of a projectile's behavior from ignition until it exits the gun barrel. It examines factors like lock time, ignition time, and barrel time. Piobert's law states that gunpowder burns layer by layer. Newton's third law means that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, causing recoil. Recoil velocity can be calculated using the projectile and gun masses and velocities. Rusting and erosion over time degrade the gun barrel and reduce accuracy.
Mechanical impressions like those from typewriters, checkwriters, rubber stamps, and seals can be examined to determine features for identification purposes. Typewriter impressions are examined based on measurements of the typeface, size, and defects. Checkwriter impressions consider standard and variable text. Rubber stamp and seal examinations analyze microscopic features, defects, and wear patterns for identification. Equipment like UV light, infrared imaging, lasers, microscopes, and photography are used to aid the examination and comparison of mechanical impressions.
Gunshot residue analysis is used to determine if a firearm was discharged. Gunshot residue particles less than 10 microns containing elements like lead, barium, and antimony are deposited on the hands and clothes of shooters and can be analyzed using scanning electron microscopes. Various instrumental methods like Raman spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy are used to analyze gunshot residue particles from crime scenes and determine characteristics that can help identify shooters. Field tests are also used to preliminarily identify gunshot residue on skin and clothing.
Glass evidence can be found at many crime scenes.
Automobile accident sites may be littered with broken headlight or windshield glass.
The site of a store break-in may contain shards of window glass with fibers or blood on them.
If shots are fired into a window, the sequence and direction of the bullets can often be determined by examining the glass.
Minute particles of glass may be transferred to a suspect’s shoes or clothing and can provide a source of trace evidence linking a suspect to a crime.

Sunglasses have existed since prehistoric times and were originally used to reduce glare and provide comfortable vision in bright light. Over time, sunglasses evolved to include specific lens materials and coatings to block UV rays and reduce glare. Today, sunglasses are manufactured using various plastic and metal materials for frames and lenses. Lenses are produced through processes like dying plastics or incorporating metallic oxides while they are molten. Frames are constructed to securely hold lenses using tension or screw mounts. Regulations require sunglasses to achieve certain standards for UV protection. Popular brands mass produce high quality sunglasses with advanced lens technologies to protect vision and health.
Glass has widespread use and can be produced through different manufacturing processes. It is made by melting raw materials like silica sand, soda ash, and limestone at high temperatures. In the float glass process developed in the 1950s, molten glass flows on a bath of molten tin and is cut to size after annealing and inspection. Glass can be strengthened, tinted, low-emissivity coated, or made obscure/self-cleaning for various applications like windows, touchscreens, lenses, and decorative pieces. Standards like IS codes regulate glass production and properties in India.

Im this presentation we are discussing about glass as the material of construction sites how important material it is. Definition of Glass and its types and properties of the Glass.
Laminated glass is made of two or more pieces of glass bonded together by polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. Tempered glass undergoes a thermal tempering process where it is heated to its softening point then rapidly cooled to increase its strength. Both types of glass provide safety benefits as they do not break into large sharp pieces when broken. However, laminated glass is more expensive and provides better sound insulation and security compared to tempered glass.

ESPP presentation to EU Waste Water Network, 4th June 2024 “EU policies driving nutrient removal and recycling
and the revised UWWTD (Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive)”
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

3. What is Glass?
Introduction:
• It is an amorphous solid structure. Typically transparent and brittle in nature.
• Also known as a Super-Cool Liquid as it is immediately cooled of before it is turned into a crystalline-
structured solid.
• The composition of Glass is mainly that of silica (silicon oxide)- additives like soda ash (sodium
carbonate), lime (calcium oxide) are added to change the properties like brisance and tensile strength
of the glass.
• Glass comes in various shapes and sizes and are used for various commercial production like cutlery
set, bottle. Window pane etc.
6. Soda-Lime Glass
• It is composed of about 75% Silica
(Silicon dioxide), 15% Soda (Sodium
Carbonate), and 10% Lime (Calcium
oxide).
• It is used in making of Glass-panes,
Bottles, Containers, Tableware
7. Borosilicate Glass
• It is composed of about 80% silica and 13%
boron trioxide.
• It has a higher melting point and lower
coefficient of thermal expansion.
• Used in laboratory glassware, cookware, and
high-quality glass lighting fixtures
8. • It contains a significant amount of Lead Oxide
(PbO) along with Silica and other additives.
• The Lead content gives the glass brilliance and
a higher refractive index.
• Its high refractive index makes it desirable for
creating sparkling and intricate designs.
• Lead glass is renowned for its optical properties
and is often used for making fine glassware,
including luxury glassware, decorative items,
and chandeliers.
Lead Azide Glass / Crystal
9. TEMPERED GLASS:
• Tempered glass is made from soda-lime glass but undergoes a
thermal tempering process. It is heated to a high temperature and
then rapidly cooled, creating internal stresses that strengthen the
glass.
• Tempered glass is highly durable and resistant to mechanical
stress, making it suitable for safety applications.
• It is used in automotive windows, shower doors, mobile phone
screens, and architectural applications where safety and impact
resistance are crucial
10. • Laminated glass consists of multiple layers of
glass with an interlayer of polyvinyl butyral
(PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA)
sandwiched between them.
• Laminated glass offers enhanced safety and
security. When broken, the interlayer holds the
shattered glass together, reducing the risk of
injury.
• It is used in windshields, skylights, bullet-
resistant glass, and soundproofing applications.
LAMINATED GLASS:
11. Fibre Glasses:
• Fibre glass, or Glass Fibres, are composed of fine
fibres of glass reinforced with a polymer resin.
• The glass fibres are typically made from silica, with
additives to improve strength and flexibility.
• Fibre glass has excellent insulation and strength-to-
weight ratio properties.
• It is widely used in insulation materials, composite
materials, automobile parts, temporary roofs/shades,
boats, and aerospace applications.
13. • Optical glass contains specific materials
to achieve precise optical properties
like great resolution, clarity, blue lens
etc.
• These glasses are used for lenses,
prisms, and optical instruments.
OPTICAL GLASSES
14. SOLAR GLASSES:
Solar glass is designed to maximize light
transmission and minimize reflection in solar
panels, allowing efficient conversion of sunlight
into electricity.
15. DISPLAY GLASSES:
• Display glass, like Corning's Gorilla Glass, is
chemically strengthened to resist scratches and
damage, making it suitable for smartphones, tablets,
and electronic displays
17. • -The forensic significance of glass lies in its ability to
provide crucial evidence in criminal investigations.
• -Glass fragments or residues can often be found at crime
scenes, and analysing them can provide valuable
information to help determine the sequence of events,
identify sources, and link individuals to the crime.
Here are some key aspects of the forensic
significance of glass----
18. Trace Evidence:
Glass fragments or residues can be left behind at
crime scenes, on clothing, tools, or weapons used
in the commission of a crime. These trace pieces
can serve as crucial evidence linking suspects to
the scene.
Transfer of Glass:
When objects come into contact with glass surfaces,
glass particles can transfer between them. These
transfers can occur during crimes such as burglaries,
break-ins, or vehicle accidents.
Glass Transfer and Trace Evidence:
19. Glass Fracture Patterns
and Reconstruction:
- Fracture Patterns: Glass fractures in
distinct patterns depending on the type of
force applied, such as impact, bending, or
heat. Analysing fracture patterns can help
determine the direction and sequence of
events during a crime.
- Reconstruction:
By fitting glass fragments together, forensic
experts can reconstruct the original object or
determine the type of glassware involved.
This reconstruction can aid in identifying
the source of the glass and provide valuable
information for investigations.
20. Refractive Index and Comparison:
Immersion Method: Forensic scientists can use the immersion
method to measure the refractive index of glass fragments. By
matching refractive indices, they can determine if the
fragments share a common origin.
Refractive Index: Glass has a unique refractive index, which
is the measure of how light bends as it passes through the
material. Comparing the refractive index of glass fragments
found at a crime scene to that of known samples can help
establish if they originated from the same source.
21. Glass Composition andSource Determination:
- Elemental Analysis: Analysing the elemental composition of glass fragments through techniques like
scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) can provide insights
into its chemical makeup. Different glass compositions can help identify the type and origin of the glass, such
as window glass, automotive glass, or specialty glass.
- Database Comparison: Comparing the elemental composition of glass fragments to a database of known
glass samples can assist in narrowing down potential sources and identifying manufacturers or specific types
of glass.
22. Glass as Forensic Toolmarks:
Glass Toolmarks: Glass can retain impressions from tools used to break or manipulate it. These toolmarks can be
analysed and compared to the tools recovered from a suspect or crime scene, potentially establishing a link between the
tools and the crime.
The forensic significance of glass lies in its ability to provide valuable evidence such as transfer patterns, fracture
analysis, refractive index matching, composition analysis, and toolmark impressions. By analysing glass fragments and
residues, forensic experts can contribute to crime scene reconstruction, source determination, and linking individuals to
criminal activities.
23. Collection and Preservation of Glass:
-Collection and preservation of glass as evidence is a crucial aspect of forensic investigations.
Glass fragments, residues, or objects found at crime scenes can provide valuable information and link
suspects to the scene.
-Proper collection and preservation techniques are essential to maintain the integrity and evidentiary value
of the glass evidence.
24. 1. Safety Precautions:
- Safety Gear: Investigators should wear
appropriate personal protective equipment
(PPE) such as gloves and safety goggles to
avoid contamination and injury.
- Avoid Cross-Contamination: To prevent
cross-contamination, investigators should use
clean tools and packaging materials for each
separate glass item.
25. 2. Documenting the Scene:
- Photography and Sketches: Before
collecting any glass evidence, document the
scene by taking overall and close-up
photographs. Make sketches or diagrams to
accurately depict the location and orientation
of glass fragments or objects.
26. 3. Collection Techniques:
- Tweezers or Forceps: Use clean, non-magnetic tweezers or
forceps to carefully pick up glass fragments, taking care not to
exert excessive pressure that could alter their shape or cause
breakage.
- Packaging: Place each glass fragment or object in a separate
clean container or envelope. Clear plastic bags or small, sealable
containers are commonly used for glass evidence. Ensure proper
labelling with the case number, date, location, and a description of
the item.
27. 4. Preventing
Cross-Contamination:
- Tools and Packaging: Use clean tools for each
separate glass item to avoid cross-contamination.
For packaging, ensure separate containers or
envelopes are used for each distinct glass
fragment or object.
- Disposable Gloves: Change disposable gloves
between handling different glass items to prevent
contamination.
28. 5. Preservation andTransportation:
- Fragile Glass Fragments: Fragile or small glass fragments
should be packaged with care to prevent further damage.
Place them in a padded container or envelope to minimize
movement during transportation.
- Larger Glass Objects: For larger glass objects, wrap them
in protective material such as foam or bubble wrap to
prevent scratching or breakage during transit.
- Proper Labelling: Clearly label each package with the
case number, exhibit number, description, and the name of
the collector. Ensure the containers are sealed securely to
prevent tampering or loss.
29. 6. Chain of Custody:
- Documentation: Maintain detailed records of the collection, packaging, and transportation of
the glass evidence. This includes documenting who collected the evidence, when and where it was
collected, and who had custody of it at all times.
- Secure Storage: Store glass evidence in a secure, controlled environment to prevent damage or
loss. It should be kept away from extreme temperatures, humidity, and potential contaminants.
30. 7. Submitting to the Laboratory:
- Contact the relevant forensic laboratory for
specific instructions on submitting glass evidence.
Follow their guidelines for packaging, labelling, and
any additional documentation required.
- Provide a detailed chain of custody record along
with the glass evidence to ensure its integrity and
admissibility in court.
Proper collection and preservation of glass evidence
are essential to maintain its evidentiary value.
Following these guidelines helps ensure the integrity
of the evidence, facilitates accurate analysis, and
enhances its reliability in the investigative process
and potential legal proceedings.
