An introduction to forensic soil science and forensic geology: a synthesis
Get PDFUsing forensic soil science and forensic geology as trace evidence and searches for burials is the theme of the papers in this Special Publication. The concept and design of this volume was initially established by the International Union of Geological Sciences, Initiative on Forensic Geology, which successfully brought together forensic geologists, forensic soil scientists, police officers and law enforcement agents in the investigation of crimes. In this introductory paper a brief overview is provided of the developments in interdisciplinary knowledge exchange with use of soil and geological materials (known as ‘earth materials’) in the search for burials and the provision of trace evidence. The aim is to provide background information on the role and value of understanding ‘earth materials’ ranging from the landscape scale, to the crime scene through to microscopic scale investigations to support law enforcement agencies in solving criminal, environmental, serious and organized crime, and terrorism. In this connection, recent advances in field and laboratory methods are highlighted. Finally, the 20 papers in the volume are briefly introduced and these include a diversity of global operational case studies that involve collection and analysis of earth material from crime scenes and searches for homicide graves and other buried targets.Robert W.

Generous Thinking: A Radical Approach to Saving the University
No full textThis is the recording of the keynote presentation by Kathleen Fitzpatrick, author of “Generous Thinking: A Radical Approach to Saving the University.” The presentation was held on Wednesday, January 27th, 2021 via the Zoom cloud video conferencing system. It was sponsored by the University of Kansas Libraries and The Commons and held in conjunction with the inaugural KU Summit on Community-Engaged Learning and Scholarship, hosted by the Center for Service Learning.
Fitzpatrick is the director of Digital Humanities and a professor of English at Michigan State University. She is also the author of “Generous Thinking: The University and the Public Good” and "Planned Obsolescence: Publishing, Technology, and the Future of the Academy."Kathleen Fitzpatrick, author of “Generous Thinking: A Radical Approach to Saving the University,” discusses her research into thinking and leading generously. Fitzpatrick urges KU faculty and staff to think critically, constructively, and generously in order to engage effectively with each other and beyond the university.University of Kansas LibrariesThe Common

The game of zombies and survivors on cartesian products of graphs
No full textWe consider the game of Zombies and Survivors as introduced by Fitzpatrick, Howell, Messinger and Pike (2016) This is a variation of the game Cops and Robber where the zombies (in the cops’ role) are of limited intelligence and will always choose to move closer to a survivor (who takes on the robber’s role). The zombie number of a graph is defined to be the minimum number of zombies required to guarantee the capture of a survivor on the graph. In this paper, we show that the zombie number of the Cartesian product of n non-trivial trees is exactly ⌈2n/3⌉. This settles a conjecture by Fitzpatrick et. al. (2016) that this is the zombie number for the n-dimensional hypercube. In proving this result, we also discuss other variations of Cops and Robber involving active and flexible players

Joan Fitzpatrick: In Memoriam
Get PDFJoan Fitzpatrick graduated from Harvard Law School in 1975. Women were then beginning to enter the legal profession in increasing numbers, but role models were still important in encouraging women to become equal partners in our profession. Joan was an especially effective role model for our students. I think she realized that. It was one of the things that drove her to excel in everything she did. Joan told me—more than once in fact—that she earned every penny she made. It was a point of pride to her. She was a hard worker whose work yielded very important results. And she was the kind of teacher who would make students think: If Professor Fitzpatrick can do that, then I can also do great and important things. Joan joined our faculty in 1984. In her eighteen years with us, she became an internationally known and respected authority on human rights. She was a primary author or editor of six books, the author or co-author of fourteen book chapters, and the author or co-author of about forty scholarly articles. Joan spoke on issues of international human rights throughout North America and Europe. In the words of one of her admirers, she was brilliant, eloquent, and internationally renowned
