  LATENT PRINT SECTION
Latent prints are revealed when the chosen process adheres, stains or reacts to constituent properties contained in the residue that makes up the impression.
Latent fingerprints received from police officers or that were developed in the section that are of comparison value—meaning that they can be identified—can be searched through AFIS in an effort to place a name to the crime scene print.
Latent print specific training is conducted through apprenticeship study under a qualified latent examiner, combined with classes conducted by agencies such as the FBI and qualified independent instructors.

 Latent Class Analysis Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Latent GOLD is a new LCA program with outstanding, state-of-the-art features, including a fully Windows-oriented user interface, extensive graphics, optional Bayesian constants to help avoid boundary-value parameter estimates (estimated response probabilities of 0 or 1), diagnostics for detecting conditional dependence, and many other features.
Third, determining the number of latent classes is analogous in certain respects to that of determining the number of factors: as the number of clusters/factors increases, fit of the latent class/factor model to the observed data becomes better, but one seeks a balance between fit to the data and number of latent classes/factors required.
The probit latent class model also provides a unifying framework for understanding various latent structure models; a number of models, including latent class analysis, latent trait analysis, and latent distribution analysis, are subsumed under the model.

 Merton - Manifest and Latent Functions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
This is the rationale for the distinction between manifest functions and latent functions; the first referring to those objective consequences for a specified unit (person, subgroup, social or cultural system) which contribute to its adjustment or adaptation and were so intended; the second referring to unintended and unrecognized consequences of the same order.
Given the concept of latent function, however, we are reminded that this behavior may perform a function for the group, although this function may be quite remote from the avowed purpose of the behavior.
Lacking a concept of latent social function, no attention whatever was initially paid to the social consequences of the experiment for relations among members of the test and control groups or for relations between workers and the test room authorities.

 Records, Computers and the Rights of Citizens (1973) II.  Latent Effects of ComputerBased Record Keeping   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
However, manual record keeping can, at the stroke of a pen, take account of data that do not fit comfortably into pre-conceived categories, while a computer record is not usually amenable to any sort of annotation that was not expressly planned for in the design of the system.
In the cases of an arrest record, however, even if the source agency does eventually submit information about the disposition of the arrest, there is no way that the NCIC can assure that all those who have had access to the record in the interim will receive the disposition information.
Thus, unless a criminal record information system is designed to keep track of all the ultimate users of each record released, and of every person who has seem it, any correction or emendation of the original record can never be certain to reach each holder of a copy.

Up through the end of the vinyl record era, while the precision of the mechanical components and the introduction of electronic amplification improved recording quality, the technology of the storage medium was basically the same.
Since the first generation technology for recording sound relied on the relatively primitive implementation of simple properties of physics, devices for playing historic recordings are remarkably easy to build.
Included with these records were pictograms to explain the construction of a mechanism by which extraterrestrials could play the records.

Closed records are those records when the accused is found not guilty, charges were nolle prossed or dismissed, suspended imposition of sentence after probation is completed, and arrests after 30 days where no charges have yet been filed or reported by the prosecuting attorney.
The only possible way to know the approximate age of a latent fingerprint is to know the last time that the surface that the developed latent print is on was thoroughly cleaned.
Generally latent print residue will not survive a thorough cleaning, so if a latent print is developed it was probably deposited after the cleaning.
