Appendix Q: Fetal Tissue and Forensic Paternity Testing The San Diego Police Department has a contract with Paternity Testing Corporation, 3501 Berrywood Dr., Columbia, MO 65201, (888) 837-8323, to provide paternity testing of a live child using blood or buccal swab reference samples. Paternity may also be established using fetal tissue in those cases where the victim elects to have an abortion or in the case of spontaneous abortion. The laboratory will notify the detective if a sample does not meet the criteria for acceptance and a re-draw will be coordinated as soon as possible. Fetal tissue collection kits are stored in the Sex Crimes Unit with the other forensic supplies. The fetal tissue collection kit should include: • Sterile 50 cc screw-cap centrifuge tube • Labels for centrifuge tube • Permanent marker (ultrafine point) • Plastic Ziploc baggie • Security seal • TYVEK 12” x 15” envelope • Small cooler 1. Have the physician collect 1-5 cc of fetal material and place in the sterile screw-cap tube provided. Label the tube with the name of the mother, date and time. 2. Place the collected fetal tissue in a Ziploc plastic bag and put on ice in a small cooler. A cooler can be obtained in advance from the Forensic Biology Unit. 3. Fill out the San Diego Police Department Request for Paternity Evaluation Form. After obtaining a Sex Crimes supervisor’s approval, submit the form to the Forensic Science Section, MS #715. 4. The Forensic Biology Section will send the fetal tissue samples to Cellmark Diagnostic Laboratories in Maryland for analysis. The analysis should take at least four weeks to perform. 5. All samples should be taken to the property room and assigned a Property Tag Number. 6. The Property Room should be told that blood samples must be refrigerated and mouth swabs and fetal material must be frozen. 7. When the analysis is complete, the detective will receive a copy of the laboratory report addressing biological parentage in connection with the samples submitted. An explanation sheet will be attached to help interpret the results. Any questions should be referred to our Forensic Biology Unit. .

Wine loss refers to loss occurring when the consumer does not consume the wine contained in the bottle and disposes of it because of taste alteration, which is caused by inadequate product protection rendering the wine unpalatable to a knowledgeable consumer.

Don't Judge a Wine by Its Closure: Price Premiums for Corks in The
Journal of Wine Economics, Volume 14, Number 1, 2019, Pages 3–25 doi:10.1017/jwe.2019.1 Don’t Judge a Wine by Its Closure: Price Premiums for Corks in the U.S. Wine Market Anton Bekkerman a and Gary W. Brester b Abstract For many purchases, consumers often possess only limited information about product quality. Thus, observable product characteristics are used to determine expected quality levels when making purchase decisions. We use more than 1 million weekly scanner-level observations from grocery stores across ten U.S. markets between September 2009 and August 2012 to examine how consumers value a wine bottle’s closure type (i.e., cork or screw cap). We focus on lower-priced wines—those with sale prices less than $30 per 750 milliliter bottle— to more accurately evaluate decisions of consumers for whom seeking additional information about wine quality is likely more costly than the benefits derived from that information. Using both pooled ordinary least squares and quantile regressions to estimate price premiums for bottles with corks or screw caps, we find that U.S. consumers are willing to pay, on average, approximately 8% more (about $1.00) for a bottle of wine that has a cork closure. In addition, we show that the size of this premium increases as wine prices decline. (JEL Classifications: D81, M31, Q11) Keywords: purchase decisions, quality uncertainty, wine closures. I. Introduction Wine is often the focal point of many discussions at social gatherings where, in addi- tion to refreshment and relaxation, it often serves as a symbol of sophistication and knowledge.

Effects of Closure Type on Consumers' Perception of Wine Quality
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Emily M. Jorgensen for the degree of Master of Science in Food Science and Technology presented on August 12, 2004. Title: Effects of Closure Type on Consumers' Perception of Wine Quality. Abstract Approved: Anna B. Marin Natural corks have long been used as wine closures. However, they are associated with causing multiple adverse effects to the wine they are attempting to preserve. Alternative closures such as synthetic corks and screw caps were developed in order to reduce and/or eliminate these problems. However, the major cause of concern regarding these closures is of consumers' acceptance. The effect of how three types of closures (Natural Cork, Synthetic Cork and Screw Cap) affected wine consumers' perceptions of the quality of wine was examined in this study. This project was divided into two experiments. The first experiment determined if frequent wine consumers could detect sensorial differences between the three closure types. The second experiment ascertained if and how regular wine consumers' perceptions were altered based on the type of closure with which the wine samples were bottled. It was determined that the wine consumers could not significantly detect a difference between any of the three closure type samples based only on sensory stimuli. The results from the second experiment found for the Chardonnay samples, the knowledge that the wine samples came from a natural cork or a synthetic cork did not significantly affect the liking, quality or purchase intent scores. However, when the panelists knew that the sample was bottled with a screw cap, they thought it was of lower quality, were less willing to buy a wine like the sample and they lowered the price they were willing to pay.
