The Ability of Plasma Cotinine to Predict Nicotine and Carcinogen Exposure Is Altered by Differences in CYP2A6: The Influence of Genetics, Race, and Sex
Cotinine, a nicotine metabolite, is a biomarker of tobacco, nicotine, and carcinogen exposure. However, a given cotinine level may not represent the same tobacco exposure; for example, African-Americans have higher cotinine levels than Caucasians after controlling for exposure.

Inclusive STEM High School Design: 10 Critical Components
This paper introduces a pair of relatively new research projects that focus on an innovative type of school that is quietly emerging across the U.S., Inclusive STEM-focused High Schools (ISHSs).

Frequency-Selective Surface Coupled Metal-Oxide-Metal Diodes
In this work we investigate integrating MOM diodes with a slot antenna Frequency Selective Surface (FSS). This maximizes the electromagnetic capture area while minimizing the transmission line length which helps reduce losses because metal losses are much lower at DC than at infrared frequencies.

Genetic Analysis of a Population Heavy Drinking Phenotype Identifies Risk Variants in Whites
This proof-of-concept analysis examined whether population data of lifetime heaviest alcohol consumption may be used to identify genetic loci that modulate risk.

Midbrain-Driven Emotion and Reward Processing in Alcoholism
Enhanced midbrain activation to alcohol-related words suggests neuroadaptation of dopaminergic midbrain systems. We speculate that such tuning is normally associated with behavioral conditioning to optimize responses but here contributed to automatic bias to alcohol-related stimuli.

Towards an Evidence Framework for Design-Based Implementation Research
In this chapter, we compare the approach to evidence implicit in the defining features of DBIR to the prevailing evidence standards for educational research promoted by national policy.

Biometrics at the Perimeter: Keep Threats Out and Business Moving
From high school basketball games to sophisticated military operations, a strong perimeter is the first line of defense. The challenge for commercial security is strengthening the perimeter without affecting business. Access control is a high priority for secure infrastructures such as nuclear power plants, corporate offices, universities, and financial buildings. The faster security can accurately…
