The actual problems of forming the innovative scientific and technical reserve (STR) at creation of perspective aviation and space systems (AS) in modern economic conditions are analyzed. An approach to the economic evaluation of the industrial feasibility of innovative STR in the aerospace industry has been proposed. The system of indicators and maximum allowable parameters for an estimation of industrial realizability of innovative STR in industrial cooperation on creation AS is develope. The structure and methods of technological and financial-economic indicators evaluation have been defined. A methodology for assessing the production and technological feasibility of STR was developed. Perspectives of soft-computing technologies application for performance of required information-analytical researches are reasoned. The initial hypothesis of the authors is to determine and find key indicators of industrial feasibility of STR and maximum allowable parameters that determine the area of allowable values. Finding the analyzed indicators within the boundaries of this area guarantees the achievement of the required result - delivery of final AS products within the specified time and established budget limits.

The authors in this work deal with particular questions of the complex issues of proving in the criminal procedure, according to the new Criminal Procedural Code of the Republic of Serbia. Namely, Serbia was adopted a new CPC in 2011, which entered into force in 2013. The main novelty that brings this legal text is moving from the concept of judicial investigation to prosecutorial investigation. However, it brings some changes in the field of proving. Since the area of proving is extremely tight, the authors pay attention to the specific changes in the already standard sphere of proving, while they emphasize completely new solutions. Among them, particularly stand out certain types of expertise and taking of samples. Taking of samples was not, regulated in the Serbian legislation before. Now, the legislator regulates three types of this form: taking biometric samples, taking samples of biological origin and taking samples for forensic-genetic analysis. After the main part of the work, the authors give final, concluding and critical remarks on the new solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The President's DNA Initiative is a five year effort to improve the use of DNA in the criminal justice system. This Initiative has provided over $1 billion in funding, training, and assistance to Federal, state, and local agencies to ensure that DNA reaches its full potential to solve crimes, protect the innocent, and identify missing persons. Much of the funding has gone towards improving crime laboratory capacity and eliminating backlogs in DNA analysis. The goal of this project is to assess the impacts and cost-effectiveness of these Federal programs. The evaluation, which began October 1, 2005, is being conducted by Caliber, an ICF International Company. The multi-level evaluation design includes advanced analysis of secondary data; surveys of law enforcement, crime laboratory technicians, and prosecutors; and intensive case studies to explore in greater depth promising and effective investigative practices. This presentation will focus on the results from this project. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
