SLC6A3 and Body Mass Index in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial
We evaluated associations between polymorphisms at the dopamine transporter gene(SLC6A3) and body mass index (BMI), among participants in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial.

System Support for Forensic Inference
This paper argues for the development of a formal framework for constructing “digital artifacts” that can serve as proxies for physical evidence; a system so imbued would facilitate sound digital…

Association of the DRD2 Gene Taq1A Polymorphism and Smoking Behavior: a Meta-Analysis and New Data
Our a priori hypothesis was that the association of the DRD2 Taq1A polymorphism with smoking behavior would be more prominent in females than males.

Using Cognitive Interviews to Validate an Interpretive Argument for the ETS iSkills
In this work, we use an argument-based approach to assessment validation to investigate the extent to which iSkills test scores can support inferences about the ability of college students to…
