An evaluative conservative case for biomedical enhancement [PDF]
It is widely believed that a conservative moral outlook is opposed to biomedical forms of human enhancement. In this paper, I argue that this widespread belief is incorrect. Using Cohen's evaluative conservatism as my starting point, I argue that there are strong conservative reasons to prioritise the development of biomedical enhancements.

Chemical enhancement of footwear impressions in blood deposited on fabric - Evaluating the use of alginate casting materials followed by chemical enhancement [PDF]
Most footwear marks made in blood on a surface such as fabric tend to be enhanced in situ rather than physically recovered using a lifting technique prior to enhancement.

Recommendations to enhance rigor and reproducibility in biomedical research [PDF]
Abstract Biomedical research depends increasingly on computational tools, but mechanisms ensuring open data, open software, and reproducibility are variably enforced by academic institutions, funders, and publishers. Publications may present software for which source code or documentation are or become unavailable; this compromises the ...
