August Vollmer chief of the Los Angles police, established the first American police crime laboratory in 1935 [7]. Even through using bite mark evidence begin around 1870, the first published account involving a conviction based on bite marks as evidence was in the case of Doule V. State which happened in Texas in 1945. The bite mark in this case was on a piece of cheese found at the crime scene of a robbery. The suspect was later asked to bite another piece of cheese for comparison. A firearm examiner and the dentists evaluate the bite marks independently and both concluded that the marks were made by the same set of teeth. The bite marks that found in crime scene on an object or skin used as evidence in future cases [7]. The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) profiling technique was first reported in 1985 by Sir Alec Jeffreys at the of in . And is new the basis of several national DNA databases [8]. In the spring 1997, The Criminal Justice Information Services division (CJIS) of the FBI created a dental task force (DTF) whose goal is to improve the utilization and effectiveness of the 's (NCIC) Missing and Unidentified Persons (MUP) files [7]. 1.4 Forensic Dentistry Forensic odontology is the of dental applications in legal proceedings. The subject covers a wide variety of topics including individual identification. Mass identification and bite marks analysis. The study of odontology in legal case can be a piece of incriminating evidence or an aspect of wide controversy [4]. One of the earliest known examples of forensic dentistry involved Agrippina, the mother of Roman emperor Nero. In 49 B.C. Agrippina ordered the death of her rival Lollia Paulina, who was in competition with her to be the wife of Emperor Claudius. Agrippina demanded to see Lollia Paulina's head as proof of the death, but she was not sure that her rival was dead until she noticed Lollia Paulina's distinctive discolored front teeth [4]. Another famous jump for the forensic dentistry was that of Paul Revere (1825), who besides being a blacksmith was also a dentist. He helped identify Revolutionary War dead who had been buried on the battlefield by their teeth and dental work. was able to identify Dr. Joseph Warren, the man who sent him on his

Werner's were criticized because he could not explain what had happened to such an immense volume of water needed to form all "primitive rocks," and because he insisted that lava flows were precipitated from water. Other geologists showed the volcanic origin of lava flows. These were the Plutonists, named for the Roman god of the underworld. Plutonists said that "fire" or heat, rather than water, was involved in the origin of "primitive" igneous rocks. James Hutton (1726-1797) was a prominent Plutonist who disagreed with Werner. UNCONFORMITIES An unconformity is an ancient surface of erosion (or non-deposition), separating older rocks from younger rocks. If the older rocks are folded or tilted, the unconformity is referred to as an angular unconformity. James Hutton recognized the significance of the unconformity at Siccar Point in Scotland. HUTTON'S UNIFORMITARIANISM 1.Saw Earth as a dynamic, ever changing place where rocks and mountains form slowly, and are slowly weathered and eroded. 2.Recognized that "the present is the key to the past." 3.Recognized uniform natural laws (physical & chemical laws) govern geologic processes, later this view was called uniformitarianism. 4.Uniform natural laws govern weathering, erosion, glacial movement, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the transport of sediment by moving water. Limitations on uniformitarianism: Some events which occurred in the past, and left a record in the rocks, ARE NOT OCCURRING TODAY, or have not occurred during human history. These include: Huge meteorite impacts Extensive volcanism Large glacial ice sheets accompanied by much lower sea levels Differences in atmospheric chemistry - original atmosphere lacked oxygen, so chemical process acting in the weathering environment did not include oxidation UNIFORMITARIANISM ACTUALISM Many geologists prefer to use the term actualism, to emphasize the importance of natural laws to the concept of uniformitarianism. Actualism is the principle that natural laws (physical and chemical laws) governing past and present processes on Earth have been the same. PRINCIPLE OF FOSSIL SUCCESSION William Smith (1769–1839) was an English surveyor and civil engineer who was working to site canals to transport coal in England. He saw that layers of rocks occurred in a definite order, and that rock units could be differentiated on the basis of the unique set of fossils they contain.

GEOCHRONOLOGIC The geologic time is divided into a number of of differing sizes. From the largest units to the smaller units, they are: •Eons > Eras > Periods > Epochs units are geochronologic units or time units. THE MODERN GEOLOGICAL TIME SCALE Word modifiers: pro - before phanero - evidence paleo - ancient meso – middle neo – new ceno – resent eo – dawn zoon - life FIGURE 3-1 Geologic Time Scale. EONS In order from oldest to youngest: Hadean Eon—This is an informal time unit referring to the earliest history where no rock record has been preserved. Archean Eon—"ancient or archaic“—oldest rocks on Earth (~4 billion to 2.5 billion years ago) Proterozoic Eon—"beginning life" (2.5 billion to 542 million years ago) Phanerozoic Eon—"visible life" (542 million years ago to present) PRECAMBRIAN The Archean and Proterozoic are together referred to as the Precambrian, meaning "before the Cambrian Period." The Precambrian encompasses 87% of geologic history.
ERAS Phanerozoic Eon is divided into three Eras Cenozoic Era—"recent life" (such as mammals) Mesozoic Era—"middle life" (such as dinosaurs) Paleozoic Era—"ancient life" (such as trilobites) PERIODS Eras are divided into periods. Youngest Oldest
LECTURE NOTES The Structure of Title VII 1. Title VII prohibits employers who employ 15 or more employees from discriminating in any aspect of employment on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin or religion. 2. Unions and employment agencies are covered also, but not independent contractors. 3. The law only applies to those who deal in interstate commerce, but that is almost a as the interpretation of interstate commerce by courts has been so broad until it would be difficult for an employer to use that as a basis upon which to be exempted. 4. Religious establishments which employ workers, those whose business is operated near Native American reservations and who therefore discriminate in favor of Native Americans, and those who wish to discriminate on the basis of membership in a Communist organization are permitted to disregard Title VII's prohibitions. 5. Until passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 compensatory and punitive damages were not allowed in Title VII cases, nor were jury trials permitted. 6. Plaintiffs may now receive compensatory and punitive damages, and in cases where damages are requested, either party may request a jury trial. 7. Damages in all but race and national origin cases are capped at $300,000 total, depending upon the number of employees, though medical payments are not subject to the cap. 8. Undocumented workers are covered by the law, but EEOC is presently reexamining the available remedies. Case Example: Dawavendewa v. Salt Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District, 154 F3d. 1117 (9th Cir. 1998) Issue: Whether Title VII’s Native American preference provision permits discrimination on the basis of tribal affiliation among Native Americans or only between Native Americans and Americans. Facts: A private employer operating a power plant in northeast Arizona under a lease agreement with the Navajo Nation includes in the agreement a preference for “local Navajos.” A member of the Hopi tribe living three miles from the Navajo reservation applied for a position and alleged that with his test scores, he would have been hired if he were a member of the Navajo Nation or married to a Navajo. The employer refused to consider the applicant who then sued under Title VII. Decision: The court said that the purpose of the Native American preference exemption to Title VII is to grant preference to all Native Americans who live near a reservation over non-Native
The 100 kg wheel shown in the figure has a radius of gyration of kG = 0.25 m about its center of mass G. If it is subjected to a clockwise couple of 20 Nm as it rolls on its inner hub without slipping, determine the wheel’s angular velocity after the 20 kg block is released from rest and has fallen 0.4 m. The spring has a stiffness of k = 60 N/m and is initially unstretched when the block is released. Angular velocity is required Principle of work and energy is the most “economical” analytic tool to use. It is easier to analyze the system as a whole than to consider the components separately Position Position Kinetic Energies: Work done Nw and R do not work since they do not move along their lines of action Fr does no work since wheel does not slip as it rolls Wheel does not slip wheel moves through as block moves a distance s such that spring stretches = rD/Ic = (0.4)(0.571) = 0.228 m Principle of Work and Energy:
