Abstract:
... In a case of child pornography, only the dorsum of the offender's hand was clearly visible. After identification of a suspect, the question arose of whether and how it is possible to identify or exclude the suspect as perpetrator according to the morphology of the hand vein pattern.A simple approach to use the hand vein pattern in crime suspects as a tool for identification was tested. In this stu ...

Abstract:
... Genetic differential susceptibility states that individuals may vary both by exhibiting poor responses when exposed to adverse environments, and disproportionally benefiting from positive settings. The dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4) may be particularly implicated in these effects, including disturbed eating behaviors that might lead to obesity. Here, we explore differential susceptibility to pos ...

Currently, state legislative bodies and committees may consider up to eight criteria when determining the boundaries of districts and this paper focuses on one of those criteria, equal population. Congressional districts (CDs) are dr ...

Abstract:
... Vaccines against pertussis have been used for more than a hundred years. This review describes the development of whole-cell (wP) and acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines, which, as DTP combination vaccines, have significantly reduced morbidity and mortality from pertussis, and which currently serve as the building blocks for a variety of vaccines used to immunize all infants worldwide. Two series of ...
