Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparative Forensic Profiling of Primer-Derived Inorganic Gunshot Residues Using SEM-EDX SpectroscopyAhmed M. Bendary Salem, Aldo Barbaro, Bolaji OladipoGunshot Residue (GSR) analysis presents a significant challenge in forensic science due to the need to detect and identify minute traces of powders and initiating compositions formed during the chemical decomposition and deflagration processes within cartridge cases. This research is a qualitative comparative profiling study, designed to create a reference database of the most characteristic elemental markers for commonly used … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2026 · 2,726 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of a Multi-Metal Resistant Bacillus cereus Strain TWSL_5 and it’s Bioremediation Potential for Cr, Pb, Zn and FeWeerasingha Mudiyanselage Nilmini Hasintha Kumari, Naduviladath Vishvanath Chandrasekharan, Champika Dilrukshi WijayarathnaAn effluent sample collected from a textile dyeing factory was screened to isolate metal resistant endogenous bacteria using standard microbiology techniques. A bacterium with the highest metal resistance was characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and the bacterial genome was screened for any possible metal resistant genes using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The bioremoval ability of the isolate was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2021 · 6,443 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative Study of SEM-EDX and ICP-MS Detection Based on Gunshot Residue Originated from AK-47 and M16 RiflesYaowaluck Phermpornsagul, Suphareark Arepornrat, Worasit Palkawong Na Ayuthaya, Panya KhaenamkaewThis is a comparative study on Gunshot Residues (GSR) originated from AK-47 and M16 rifles by SEM-EDX and ICP-MS. The GSR samples were obtained from multiple body parts of the shooter (hand, cloth and helmet) with elapsed times, as well as from multiple shooting occasions. The SEM-EDX data established the different shapes and dimensions of the GSR samples and the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2020 · 8,747 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of ZnO Nano Rods for the Batch Adsorption of Cr(VI): A Study of Kinetics and IsothermsSushma Kamath, Venu Gopal Vishwakarma Ramanjaneyalu, Susmita KamilaThe present study reports the synthesis of nano Zinc Oxide (ZnO) and its adsorption behaviour. The ZnO obtained by precipitation method were found to be well-defined nano rods arranged like flower. The shape, size and structure of ZnO were characterized from X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis. These nano rods were utilized for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 12 Apr 2019 · 8,072 accessesView PDF Cite
