    Brunetta and Guastalla (2000) gave a concept of free flight after their study on traffic network congestion which results in the ground holding policies that are quotient, on the other hand, Hormann (2001) focused on the cultural, organizational and behavioral elements of the aviation safety crew. In other research and examinations, Mathews and Kauzlarich (2000) centred on the ValuJet Flight 592 crash and performed a case study on the airline; Changa & Yang (2011) in their study were concerned with the passengers’ perception of cabin safety in relation to the experiences they encountered during an emergency evacuation. In their “Explosives Detection Systems (EDS) For Aviation Security,Signal Processing” study, Singh, S. and Singh, M. (2002) highlighted some of the critical technologies that need to be integrated into the system for explosive detection and the use of computer-aided machines which will ease is in the analysis data received by security equipment. From the literature reviewed, it can be summed that the aviation sector is a dynamic industry and researchers work around the clock to establish an efficient system that will enhance aviation safety. Research Question The primary objective to be addressed in this article is the examination of the existing relationship between human error, safety endorsements and competencies required to enhance aviation safety. It can be argued that human error is a hard topical hence the question; to what extent is an action…

    A micro expression is a tiny facial cue that appears within one-fifth of a second. It is uncontrollable and shows an observer signs of every emotion. It shows signs of deceit as well. Usually these are undetectable, but with some training they can be detected and used in investigations. Therefore, facial micro-expressions should be admissible in federal investigations. We need a replacement for polygraphs, and micro-expressions are a fine candidate. The previously used lie detector, the…

    The basic definition of a lie is to state something on purpose to a group of people, or even a person, that is false. In order for a person to lie about something that person will need a reason, either to cover something up, to explain something in a nicer way in order not to make the specific person being lied too to feel bad, to hid information that is thought of un important or un necessary, or even to just get out of a situation. There are multiple types of lies, to many to state actually;…

    Whenever the word nitro comes up it turns to something explosive. In chapter 5 it is mainly about nitro compounds and it explains what is and how it works based on the molecular structure. Nitro compounds are indeed explosive. Gun powder can be considered one of the earliest items to be referred as a fire chemical component. The gun powder components are known to be all reactive products which cause the reaction of an explosion. Nitro compounds are highly reactant and is stabled by a molecule…

    For instance, many paradigms in lie detection studies include memory confounds, which make it difficult to isolate the brain processes specific to deception. Farah et al. (2014, p. 125) cite a study by Gamer et al. as an example of this, in that Gamer et al. found showing participants pictures they had previously memorized resulted in activation in the same brain areas that are often implicated in studies of deception. Satel and Lilienfeld (2013, p. 79) cite an additional memory confound in that…

    concentration of Triton-X to be 0.05%, so 1 mL of 0.5% was added to the final 10 mL matrix. Dr. Doolittle’s handout suggested that the optimal dithizone concentration was 50 μM in 10 mL, so 0.5 mL of 1μM dithizone was added to the matrix. 1 mL of solution was added to the matrix, along with 3 mL of water. In previous trials, 0.5 mL of buffer was added to solution (and water was added appropriately to get to 10 mL); however, this was later modified (see table below), as it was crucial to main a…

    technology that could potentially grow into a huge part of our legal system and even now it is moving forward at a rapid pace and continuing to develop. We have made various discoveries and we have created ways to not only make our lives much easier but also to create reliable detections that could serve us in the courtroom. However, many argue that these advance technologies may not be as reliable as we would hope, which raises a big concern…

    warrant. The case that brought this to be was Florida v. Jardines. Jardines’ front door was closed and Franky the chocolate Labrador got a good enough whiff of what was inside. He sat down at the front door, which indicated he smelled drugs. Police felt that provided enough ground to obtain a search warrant, and they arrested Jardines with more than $700,000 worth of marijuana (Gray). Jardines’ attorney argued Franky’s sniff was unreasonable and does not constitute with the protection guaranteed…

    A polygraph, or a lie detector, is a device used to detect duplicity by replicating a subjects inner reactions on a scroll of paper. A subjects reactions to a particular yes or no question would then be recorded on to one of the multiple graphs the polygraph produced. Many people feel as if a polygraph is the key to figuring out whether a person is either innocent or guilty when investigating crimes such as murders but, what they may not know is that a polygraph cannot fully be trusted. In the…

    of deception”, the authors state their results show that fMRI is a reasonable tool for lie-detection in a courtroom (Kozel et al., 2004). Other authors agree with this generalization, however, there is highly contradicting evidence towards the fact that just activation alone of these areas does not mean you are lying. Further, does a lack of activation of these areas mean you are telling the…
