Sherlock Holmes

Just as Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes, n.d.) searches a crime scene, you must be sensitive and aware of subtle clues that may not be quite discernible in the work environment. The existing controls over hazards and risk provide a way to analyze the interactions of job requirements. 

Indeed, whenever you focus your attention on any of the so-called intelligent systems, and you take the time to leam the mechanisms they use to generate their marvelous and wondrous behavior, you come up with the anti-climactic realization that everything is quite ordinary and perfectly expectable with no surprises or mystical insights. Such reaction reminds us of how Sherlock Holmes reacted when a man questioned the brilliance of his deductive reasoning in solving one of his cases ... 

It ll be lovely to see you, said my cousin Izzy on the phone two weeks ago when, late one evening and two whiskies down, I finally decided to do it, that there was no reason to delay. When we bought the house in Narrow Street, it wasn t a Queen Anne Residence Convenient for the City it was a tenement, in a slum. You could almost smell Sherlock Holmes s opium dens, see the lascars and hear the drunken sailors. Not anymore. There s every... 

Extrapolating from prior examples of group formation to future possibilities is a deductive process, and so it is perhaps not so unusual to bring Arthur Conan Doyle s Sherlock Holmes into the discussion. As devoted readers will testify, Conan Doyle s stories are filled with physical details, particularly those relating to the persons and behaviors of his characters. Some of those physical traits are immediately observable to other characters in the stories, whereas other physical traits are apparent only after their logical relation to human actions are made evident by Holmes. 

The Sherlock Holmes stories often are read as the triumph of the scientific method of deduction. There is, though, another, darker interpretation to be advanced. That is the frustration of science and technology in changing everyday social practice. Throughout the canon, Holmes is consistently thwarted by the standard operating procedures of the Scotland Yard "regulars." He also is annoyed—and even disturbed—by the inability of Victorian...

With Sherlock Holmes and Sir Boss impatiently waiting. Dr. Watson casually leaned against the vat, slowly and carefully filled his pipe, and— with the keen sense of the dramatic—lit it. There our story ends. 

In Conan Doyle s The Hound of the Baskervilles, Dr. Mortimer, describing the death of Sir Charles Baskerville, informs Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson that footprints of the perpetrator were found beside the dead man s body Mr. Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound. ... 

Sherlock Holmes ponders the curious incident of the dog in the night time. Watson, surprised, responds, But the dog did nothing in the night time. That was the curious incident,"Holmes replies. 

It is almost impossible to talk about memorization without bringing up observation. Sherlock Holmes said, You see but you do not observe. Some people are naturally observant. Some frequently drift off and have no awareness of the world around them. Whatever category you think you are in, it is never too late to sharpen, or acquire, strong observation skills. How Practice, of course. 

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, of all people, was completely taken in. The creator of Sherlock Holmes, the most logical and scientific of fictional detectives, was a firm believer in spiritualism, in spite of the fact that he was a physician by training and took great pride in his powers of observation. One day, while on rounds at an Edinburgh hospital, he stopped to examine a sick baby. He then told the child s mother that she must stop painting the baby s crib. When the startled lady asked him how...

In 1910 the French scientist Edmond Locard, inspired by the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, postulated the fundamental principle on which forensic science and trace evidence is based, namely, The Locard Exchange Principle (Chisum and Turvey 2000). When two things come into contact, physical components can be exchanged. For example, the exchange can take the... 

Then in 1887 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Doyle 1981, p. 22) published several fictional cases involving Sherlock Holmes such as A Study in Scarlet in Beeton s Christmas Annual of London, where Holmes can tell at a glance different soils from each other. .. has shown me splashes upon his trousers, and told me by their color and consistence in what part of London he had received them.
