Continuous Transdermal Alcohol Monitoring
Q: "My SCRAM® / Alcohol Monitoring Device Went Off & I'm on Probation. Do I Have Any Defense?"May 15, 2012
SCRAM stands for Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor. The SCRAM device is a type of electronic monitoring that is often imposed as an alternative sentencing tool to avoid or minimize jailtime, particularly in DUIs with priors (ie, second offense DUI, third offense DUI, etc). It collects alcohol levels "transdermally," which means "through the skin." However, remote alcohol monitoring is not without it's flaws. It has been argued by many in the DUI defense bar that it is an imperfect science. Why? Because, it fails to accurately distinguish between beverage and non-beverage alcohol in it's readings of human perspiration. Our Torrance DUI defense lawyers have the knowledge, expertise, experience and legal acumen to successfully challenge your adverse SCRAM results and protect you from the wrath of the courts in the face of a possible probation violation.

A Few Too Many: The Results of Drinking and Driving (1960s)May 03, 2012
DVD: www.amazon.com thefilmarchive.org Driving under the influence (DUI) (driving while intoxicated (DWI), drunk driving, operating under the influence, drinking and driving, drink-driving, impaired driving) is the act of driving a motor vehicle with blood levels of alcohol in excess of a specified limit. Similar regulations cover driving or operating certain types of machinery while affected by drinking alcohol or taking other drugs. This is a criminal offense in most countries. Details of the offense depend upon the jurisdiction, and may include merely being in physical control of a motor vehicle while being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Convictions do not necessarily involve actual driving of the vehicle. In most jurisdictions a measurement such as a blood alcohol content in excess of a defined level, such as 0.05% or 0.08% defines the offense, with no need to prove impairment or being under the influence of alcohol. In most countries, anyone who is convicted of injuring or killing someone while under the influence of alcohol or drugs can be heavily fined, as in France, in addition to being given a lengthy prison sentence. Many states in the US have adopted truth in sentencing laws that enforce strict guidelines on sentencing, different from past practice where prison time was reduced or suspended after sentencing had been issued. The specific criminal offense may be called, depending on the jurisdiction, driving under the influence [of alcohol or other ...
11. Biomolecular Engineering: General ConceptsApr 08, 2012
Frontiers of Biomedical Engineering (BENG 100) Professor Saltzman starts the lecture with an introduction to pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Professor Saltzman talks about the concept of dose-response. He introduces different routes of drug administration and how they affect drug distribution and bioavailability (ie, intravenous, oral, and sublingual routes). First-pass drug metabolism by the liver is also identified as an important source of drug degradation. Finally, modeling the body as a well-stirred vessel, Professor Saltzman explains the first-order rate equation: C = (M0/V)*e-kt, that can be used calculate the amount of drug in the body (M) as a function of time (t) and a rate constant (k); and the equation for drug half-life: t = ln(2/k). 00:00 - Chapter 1.
