  Department of Temporal Investigations - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
The Department of Temporal Investigations is a bureau of the government of the United Federation of Planets, mandated with investigating and reporting on all incidents of time travel involving Federation citizens or otherwise affecting the UFP.
In 2373, the Department of Temporal Investigations interviewed Captain Benjamin Sisko of Starbase Deep Space 9 over an inadvertant temporal incursion resulting from the attempt of a disgraced Klingon Imperial Intelligence agent to assassinate the legendary James T. Kirk in the year 2268.
Temporal Investigations agents later concluded that Sisko and his crew had acted appropriately in attempting to uphold the Temporal Prime Directive.

  Temporal Prime Directive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Temporal Prime Directive is a principle in the Star Trek universe, similar to the standard Prime Directive.
The TPD was formally created at least as early as the 2370s, and was enforced through an agency of Starfleet called Temporal Investigations.
As time travel technology became practical, the Temporal Accords were held, so that beings on a large scale would adopt the principle of the TPD.

 Temporal Investigations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fictional universe of Star Trek, the Department of Temporal Investigations is an agency of the government of the United Federation of Planets that investigates temporal incursions and attempts to maintain the integrity of the Federation's past.
The fact that Temporal Investigations knew about the trip at all does suggest they may have a means to detect time travel, perhaps involving the Guardian of Forever; on the other hand, it's just as likely that Sisko and Co. dutifully reported their experiences to the Department.
By the 29th century, the Federation Starfleet has taken over at least part of the function of Temporal Investigations and operates a fleet of ships which can travel in time and protect the timeline from detectable changes.

 Temporal
Temporal Investigations continues in operation to this day, and contact with time travellers from the future indicates that it will continue in some form for many centuries to come.
Temporal Investigations originally defined this as the timeline which would exist if temporal technology had never been created, but this has since been updated and the preferred timeline is now said to be the timeline which would exist if no further incursions occurred.
Temporal scanning has recorded the signature of the preferred timeline, and this is used as the basis for comparison between timelines.

At this point, Temporal Investigations starts to keep a close eye on everyone involved in the research, only slightly yielding to demands that the research be shut down altogether.

 Olympus FluoView Resource Center: Optical Highlighter Fluorescent Proteins
The first investigations on optical highlighters focused on wild-type green fluorescent protein (GFP) derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, which absorbs predominately in the ultraviolet spectral region with a maximum centered around 395 to 400 nanometers.
Because this transition to blue absorption is not accompanied by a decrease in the 390 nanometer peak extinction coefficient, investigators have speculated that the conversion originates from an immature, spectrally undetectable species.
Investigations into the mechanism of fluorescence activation in kindling fluorescent proteins using site-directed mutagenesis have revealed that the amino acids spatially surrounding the tyrosine residue at position 64 in the chromophore are critical to the photoconversion reaction.

Temporal Investigations is in the here and now, making sure that Starfleet crews who stumble into a temporal incursion, haven't done anything to mess up the timeline.
Their job is to scan the timeline with temporal sensors, and when they find something out of place according to the recorded history of the timeline, they do there best to fix it with as little damage to the timeline as possible.

The foraging patterns of a grassland ant assemblage in Oklahoma were investigated.
Spatial distribution of colony entrances, on the scale of 25 individual square meters, was either clumped or random intraspecifically.  The interspecific spatial distribution of nests was clumped.  On the spatial scale of 10,000 and 60,000 m$sp2$ pitfall trapping showed interspecific clumping.
Temporal foraging patterns also varied, all species foraged more during warmer months of the year.  On the diel scale, the two most abundant species alternated foraging activity, with little interaction.

This shows that landslide investigation is a typical example for the heterogeneity of data and methods used in Geosciences, which necessitates a careful and consistent data management.
Our approach is based on combining detailled field investigation, local and regional stability analysis and models of slope evolution, leading to an estimation for contribution of mass movements to slope development (see section 2).
Based on the these statements a research strategy was developed, investigating slope development by mass movement by a coupled local and regional approach using multiple techniques (figure 1).
