Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Doheny, Jr. Memorial Library.
Chemistry
Gunshot Residue Analysis Gunshot Residue (GSR): GSR arises from the cooling and condensation of the materials produced by the combustion reactions within the firearm and can be deposited on the firer, bystanders, and surrounding surfaces in the event of a discharge. Chemical analysis - combustion reaction from primer that results in lead, barium, antimony byproducts
