Item All this pavement : a novel(Southern New Hampshire University, 2010) Schwartz, Benjamin; Towler, KatherineItem Application of the Implicit Association Test (IAT) to a study of deception(Southern New Hampshire University, 2008-10) Frost, Peter; Adie, Michael; Culver, Kristin; Denomme, Roland; Rivardand, Stacy; Sibley, AngelaDuring an Implicit Association Test, participants associated deceptive and truthful details—which they provided previously in an eyewitness interview—with positive or negative attributes. Participants were faster associating deceptive details with negative attributes than positive attributes. Our results suggest participants harbored a negative, implicit attitude towards deceptive details.Item Application of the Implicit Association Test to a study on deception(University of Illinois Press, 2010) Frost, Peter; Adie, Michael; Denomme, Roland; Lahaie, Annabel; Sibley, Angela; Smith, EmilyThree experiments were conducted to find out whether the standard Implicit Association Test (IAT) could be used to distinguish truthful and deceitful witnesses. We anticipated that IAT effects would be greater after lying. Participants were asked to answer questions with incorrect answers (i.e., the lie condition) or correct answers (i.e., the truthful condition). A third group of participants were not interviewed (a control group). Participants then took the IAT, in which they were asked to associate correct and incorrect answers with positive or negative attributes. Results demonstrate that standard IAT effects are greater after lying than after truth telling, but only when attribute labels were clearly and explicitly linked to positive and negative affect. Theoretical implications are considered.Item Aquinas on law and justice: Conflict of human law and justice in the orderly society(Southern New Hampshire University, 2015-07) Cullen, PatrickItem Aristotelian justice and hate crime(Southern New Hampshire University, 2015-11) Cullen, PatrickItem Black carbon and organic carbon in aerosol particles from crown fires in the Canadian boreal forest(American Geophysical Union, 2002-06-06) Conny, Joseph M.; Slater, John F.In the boreal forest, high-intensity crown fires account for an overwhelming proportion of the area burned yearly. Quantifying the amount of black carbon (BC) from boreal crown fires in Canada is essential for assessing the effect on regional climate from natural wildfire aerosol emissions versus that from anthropogenic activities. This is particularly relevant because climate change will likely lead to increased wildfire activity in northern Canada. During 4-5 July 1998, two controlled fires in Northwest Territories, Canada, were conducted as part of the International Crown Fire Modeling Experiment. We report here the BC and organic carbon (OC) compositions of aerosols produced during the flaming and smoldering stages of burning. Particles were collected on back-to-back quartz-fiber filters by helicopter with a hi-vol sampler and at ground level with a dichotomous sampler to separate the fine (≤2.5 μm diameter) and coarse (2.5-10 μm diameter) particle fractions. An analysis of the back filter in relation to the front filter from the dichot sampler for both the fine and coarse fractions provided a means to correct for the adsorption of gas-phase organic compounds on filters (positive artifact) and for the loss of particulate carbon from filters by volatilization (negative artifact). BC and OC masses, which combine here to give total carbon (TC), were determined by the thermal-optical method. The BC to TC ratio for the flaming stage was 0.085 ± 0.032 (xˉ ± ksn-1/2, k = 2, n = 2), based on aerial sampling of the dark plume 300-500 m above the flame front. BC/TC for the smoldering stage was 0.0087 ± 0.0046 from ground-based sampling. Uncertainties consist of the combined variances in measurement and sampling and in emissions from different fires. These averages and uncertainties serve as important aerosol data input for predictions of climate change on both global and regional scales.Item Blind man's dance : a collection of short stories(Southern New Hampshire University, 2013-01-29) Hoitt, Chelsea; Carey, Richard A.Item Come all you weary(Southern New Hampshire University, 2020-10-20) McLaren, Ian; Wilson, Adam; Burke, MarcusItem A critical evaluation of interlaboratory data on total, elemental, and isotopic carbon in the carbonaceous particle reference material, NIST SRM 1649a(National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2002-05) Currie, L. A.; Benner, B. A.; Kessler, J. D.; Klinedinst, D. B.; Klouda, G. A.; Marolf, J. V.; Slater, John F.; Wise, S. A.; Cachier, H.; Cary, R.; Chow, J. C.; Watson, J.; Druffel, E. R. M.; Masiello, C. A.; Eglinton, T. I.; Pearson, A.; Reddy, C. M.; Gustafsson, O.; Hartmann, P. C.; Quinn, J. G.; Hedges, J. I.; Prentice, K. M.; Kirchstetter, T. W.; Novakov, T.; Puxbaum, H.; Schmid, H.Because of increased interest in the marine and atmospheric sciences in elemental carbon (EC), or black carbon (BC) or soot carbon (SC), and because of the difficulties in analyzing or even defining this pervasive component of particulate carbon, it has become quite important to have appropriate reference materials for intercomparison and quality control. The NIST "urban dust" Standard Reference Material? SRM 1649a is useful in this respect, in part because it comprises a considerable array of inorganic and organic species, and because it exhibits a large degree of (14C) isotopic heterogeneity, with biomass carbon source contributions ranging from about 2 % (essentially fossil aliphatic fraction) to about 32 % (polar fraction). A primary purpose of this report is to provide documentation for the new isotopic and chemical particulate carbon data for the most recent (31 Jan. 2001) SRM 1649a Certificate of Analysis. Supporting this is a critical review of underlying international intercomparison data and methodologies, provided by 18 teams of analytical experts from 11 institutions. Key results of the intercomparison are: (1) a new, Certified Value for total carbon (TC) in SRM 1649a; (2) 14C Reference Values for total carbon and a number of organic species, including for the first time 8 individual PAHs; and (3) elemental carbon (EC) Information Values derived from 13 analytical methods applied to this component. Results for elemental carbon, which comprised a special focus of the intercomparison, were quite diverse, reflecting the confounding of methodological-matrix artifacts, and methods that tended to probe more or less refractory regions of this universal, but ill-defined product of incomplete combustion. Availability of both chemical and 14C speciation data for SRM 1649a holds great promise for improved analytical insight through comparative analysis (e.g., fossil/ biomass partition in EC compared to PAH), and through application of the principle of isotopic mass balance.Item Dandelion girl : a novel(Southern New Hampshire University, 2009) Sullivan, Pamela; Ponders, KimItem Daughter of the bride : a novel(Southern New Hampshire University, 2013-06-01) Sowell, Rebel G.; Garvin, Ann; Mitchard, JacquelynItem Defining Derek(Southern New Hampshire University, 2020-11) Bevis, Travis B.; Schiff, Rebecca; Wasserman, RobinItem Deviance(Southern New Hampshire University, 2014-06-01) Barney, Brandon; Wieland, MitchItem Driving back from crazy : a novel(Southern New Hampshire University, 2009) Losier, Cara; Begiebing, RobertItem Drunken brawls in brothels : cheap wine, court records, and other disreputable aspects of the economic history of Constance and its region(Southern New Hampshire University, 2009-10) Burson, JoshBurson's dissertation deals with one of the more "disreputable" topics in the history of Constance - drunken brawls in brothels - and uses them as a key to understanding the relationship between the city and the surrounding countryside.Item The errant auto-biographer : locating the author in Eco’s The Island of the Day Before(Revista Atenea, 2003-06) Martino, AndrewThis essay will explore the projection of a fictional world where the romance allows the *possible* to intrude upon the daily life of the main character, Roberto della Griva.Item False memory-prone personality : a study on the big five personality traits associated with susceptibility to false memory(Southern New Hampshire University, 2009-10) Frost, Peter; Adie, Michael; Denomme, RolandParticipants answered questions from the NEO Personality Inventory in order to measure various personality domains and facets. Once the test was completed, participants watched an excerpt from a movie—the simulated eyewitness event. Participants then answered a recall test, with some of the questions requiring a confabulated response about the events that occurred in the movie. A week later, participants answered a yes/no recognition test about the movie. Participants were warned about the misinformation elicited in the first test and asked to answer questions based on their memory of the movie. Particular personality traits were reliably linked with false-event recognition.Item Henry James’s Hawthorne and American Romanticism : a study in literary conflict(Southern New Hampshire University, 2010-04) Polley, Diana H.Item Hidden assumptions, attitudes, and procedures in failing schools(Pi Lambda Theta, Inc., 2008) Gunzelmann, Betsy A.Item Hidden dangers within our schools : what are these safety problems and how can we fix them?(Pi Lambda Theta, Inc., 2004) Gunzelmann, Betsy A.
