Using the Business Fraud Triangle to Predict Academic Dishonesty among Business Students |
![]() |
|
![]() |
|
Publication Description |
|
Student cheating behaviors are a type of fraudulent behavior, so we proposed a model of fraud that could shed light on reasons students cheat. The business fraud triangle includes the incentive to commit fraud, the opportunity to commit fraud, and the ability to rationalize having committed fraud. We measured student cheating frequency along with these three parameters for over 475 business students at UWEC. Our study showed that each of these elements is a significant determinant of student cheating. This fits with other research on student cheating I have investigated, including the impacts of gender, student religiosity and culture. |

Women More Than Men Attend to Indicators of Good Character: Two Experimental Demonstrations |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
This paper describes the findings from two investigations out of Bleske-Rechek’s Individual Differences and Evolutionary Psychology (IDEP) lab. In the two studies, women’s evaluations of an opposite sex target as a long-term romantic partner and short-term sex partner were negatively impacted by viewing that target ignore an upset baby; in contrast, men’s long-term and short-term sexual attraction to a female target were not consistently affected by context. Neither sexual strategy (interest in short-term versus long-term mating) nor sex-role beliefs moderated participants’ sensitivity to targets’ behavior. Women more than men appear to display a general sensitivity to an opposite-sex target’s good character. |

Preparing for Practice: Students' Reflections on their Final Clinical Experience |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
This study evolved from my interest as an educator in comparing two instructional methods.face to face and online. for conducting clinical post conference with second semester senior nursing students. Online clinical conferencing required students to write about their experiences in the hospital setting, and it was their narratives that became the basis for this study. The study explored the cognitive and emotional responses of thirty-two baccalaureate nursing students during their final clinical experience. Seven themes emerged, and the findings can help nurses in education and practice more fully understand the issues that students face as they prepare to enter professional nursing practice. |

Elucidating Determinants of the Plateau in Oxygen Consumption at VO2 max |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| Maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max) is the fundamental measure of exercise physiology, and has been described as " the single most influential concept in modern exercise physiology ". VO 2 max is widely recognized as both a representation of the functional limitations of the cardiovascular system as well as a measure of aerobic fitness. Recently, heated debate concerning the concept of VO 2 max has led to a re-examination of the assumptions and findings of classic research by Dr. A.V. Hill and colleagues. Our research focused on identifying objective criteria that could be used to verify the accomplishment of a valid VO 2 max test. |

Brilliant Colors Provocatively Mixed: Overtone Structures in the Music of Debussy |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| Composer Ben Johnston credits Debussy with the creation of a harmonic language that "approximates as well as can be in equal temperament a movement from overtone series to overtone series, with an emphasis upon higher partials." This article presents examples of overtone series and symmetrical structures in Debussy's music; some contributed by Johnston in private correspondence, and some found in the course of the author's own research. It explicates a method whereby just intonation and equal tempered realizations of these passages can be heard side by side, providing a direct comparison of the different structures that result from just intonation. |

Clearly Three |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| The repertoire for clarinet and bassoon, with or without keyboard, is among the most appealing chamber music for woodwinds and comprises one of the largest bodies of literature for two mixed woodwinds. Music for clarinet, bassoon and piano has enjoyed its most success during the 20th century with a substantial number of composers contributing works. Due primarily to the lack of a comprehensive listing, much of this literature is largely unknown. This CD recording completes one goal of our research, i.e., recording little-known 20 th century compositions for this genre. The second goal of this research is to compile an annotated bibliography of these works that will serve as a guide to this literature for teachers and performers. |

Marmots on Great Basin Mountaintops: Using Genetics to Test a Biogeographic Paradigm |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| The Great Basin is a vast region of western North America characterized by island-like mountain ranges surrounded by desert basins. Boreal mammals (mammals found only in the mountains and/or far north) living on Great Basin mountaintops have long been portrayed as isolated relicts from the last ice age, ~ 10,000 years ago, when boreal habitats extended into the basins. We tested whether boreal mammals in the Great Basin are truly isolated by studying patterns of genetic variation in ten populations of a representative species, the yellow-bellied marmot (Marmota flaviventris). Our results indicate that marmots move and exchange genes among Great Basin ranges. |

The Spiral of Silence and Fear of Isolation |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| This upcoming publication in the Journal of Communication explores the relationship between Fear of Isolation and two allied concepts derived from the Communication Apprehension literature: Trait- and State-based Apprehension. The study looks at these concepts' impacts on political opinion expression. Data were gathered just prior to the Fall 2002 Congressional elections. The research focused on the debate surrounding the possibility of invading Iraq . Results indicate that Trait-based Apprehension, State-based Apprehension, and Fear of Isolation are empirically distinct concepts. These constructs differentially predict opinion expression. The authors urge political and mass media scholars, in their future research efforts, to assess each of the three factors separately and include each in their explorations of political opinion expression. |

Impacts of Cascading Style Sheets on Mobile Computing |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| As mobile computing becomes more prevalent, it is important that designers build systems in support of as many unique, in-use, and user-defined devices as possible. We explore these requirements and propose to support them with two existing standardized technologies: Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Our findings suggest that the application of the CSS standard improves data delivery across different devices with varied bandwidth and resource availability. We demonstrate that CSS plays an important role in the evolution, expansion, and openness of mobile computing. |

A Non-Heme Oxoiron(IV) Complex with a Thiolate Ligand Relevant to Cytochrome P450 |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| Our Science paper describes the preparation and characterization of a compound that mimics the behavior of a key liver enzyme, cytochrome P450, which is responsible for the metabolism of a wide variety of chemical compounds and toxins that we put into our bodies. Cytochrome P450 functions by converting these foreign compounds into more water-soluble forms that can be readily excreted. By using a variety of spectroscopic and structural techniques, we demonstrated that our compound serves as an effective model of both the structure and reactivity of a key intermediate present in the P450 catalytic cycle. |

A Northern Front: New and Selected Essays |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| Hildebrand writes of landscapes in dispute: Native Alaskan groups are pitted against each other over oil development, Hmong emigrants jostle locals in a public hunting ground, farmers battle a formidable company town and city hall. Nature itself is also in flux as timber wolves and sandhill cranes reclaim lost ground and a marine biologist gauges the effect of an invading species on previously undisturbed areas. A Northern Front reflects the day-by-day disappearance of wild places and the ever-changing face of the American landscape. Hildebrand's characters are unforgettable, and his stories gracefully capture the spirit of all people who care deeply about the land. |

United Nations Disarmament Processes in Intra-State Conflict |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| During the 1990s the United Nations was called upon to conduct unprecedented peacekeeping and humanitarian operations in order to bring peace to war-torn states. Essential to the resolution of these conflicts was deemed to be the disarmament of the former warring parties. United Nations Disarmament Processes in Intra-State Conflict therefore seeks to identify the most important lessons taught by the UN's experiences in disarmament and constructs an original analytical framework to explain the variation in the UN's success. On this basis Stephen M. Hill proffers recommendations for the UN's present and future disarmament operations. |

PCR Detection of Y-Chromosome Sequences in Vaginal Fluid of Women Accessing a Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| My program of research involves the study of sexual risk behaviors and sexually transmitted infection (STIs). An important aspect of this work is the consideration of risk behavior measurement and the issue of self-report bias. As part of a multi-disciplinary team at Johns Hopkins University , I have studied the use of biomarkers to help clarify sensitivity issues related to condom use self-report. We developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to detect Y-chromosome fragments in vaginal swabs collected from women accessing a public STI clinic and compared results to self-reported condom use. Results showed that we can detect DNA in a clinical sample of women for up to 2 weeks. |

Sacajawea's People |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| The book offers a detailed look at the experiences of the Lemhi Shoshones-Sacajawea's people-from before their first contact with non-Natives, to their encounter with the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early nineteenth century, and their subsequent confinement to a reservation in northern Idaho near the town of Salmon. The heart of the book focuses on the 20 th century Lemhi experience, starting with the liquidation of their reservation in 1907 and their forced union with the Shoshone-Bannock tribes of the Fort Hall Reservation to the south. It describes how for the past century, surrounded by more populous and powerful Indian groups, the Lemhis have fought to preserve their political, economic, and cultural integrity. It concludes with a discussion of the Lemhis' efforts to re-secure federal recognition. |

Research Discussion Groups: Guidelines for Action |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| My writing and research focuses on engaging practicing nurses and undergraduate students in getting research into practice. To this end, I have collaborated with others in writing about how to use discussion groups to facilitate learning and the integration of research into practice. Through a previous book on breast cancer, I connected research to the general public by sharing research on the experience of breast cancer with women diagnosed with breast cancer and their families. My current book project, also directed toward a general public audience, involves connecting research on informal mentoring for children/youth with potential middle-age mentors. |

Boundary Realities from the Wisdom of Female Youth in Residential Treatment |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| To date, there is scant literature addressing the topic of professional boundaries with teenagers in residential treatment programs. Because the gap in the literature has left many questions unanswered, a qualitative case study was conducted in order to gain a more thorough understanding of professional boundaries as they relate to adolescent females placed in residential treatment for emotional and behavioral difficulties. The young women articulately expressed their desire to have a physical (nonsexual) and emotional relationship with both their peers and staff members. In addition, the young women asserted that they wanted staff to set limits so that boundary violations could and would not occur. However, within the daily living environment teens expressed a desire to have the confines of boundary crossing situations to be more relaxed. Based on the findings, implications for practice are suggested. |

I Dream a World: |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| In two parts, I Dream a World first creates a context for William Grant Still's eight operas written between 1934 and 1962 and explores their common themes and musical characteristics. Stitched together from diaries, letters, and newspaper accounts, Part 2 traces, sometimes heartbreakingly, the story of each opera. Although I Dream a World is not intentionally biographical, it is very personal. More than the story of his music, it shows the world he dreamed of through his work. It opens a window on Still the man in a way that even a general audience may weep over his struggles and gain insight into the social milieu of this important African American composer. |

Alliance Management Teams and Entrainment: Sharing Temporal Mental Models |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| Creating and administrating successful strategic alliances poses a significant challenge to interorganizational managerial teams. Using shared mental model theory as a framework, we propose that the effectiveness of these managerial teams can be increased if the team shares a common temporal mental model with regard to the alliance. Specifically, a shared mental model in terms of the elements of entrainment (e.g. cycle, pace, time orientation) will allow team members to actively assess and better manage entrainment issues which we suggest are a crucial component of strategic alliances, although not one that has been studied to a great extent. |

The Wisconsin Office of Emigration 1852-1855 and its Impact on German Immigration to the State |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| In 1852 Wisconsin established the Office of Emigration to attract European-mainly German-settlers to the state. Drawing on contemporary newspaper articles and privately published emigrant guides, as well as official publications of the emigration office, the authors document the office's influence on the settlement history of early Wisconsin and assess that influence against the backdrop of state politics in the mid-nineteenth century. Complementing the text are rare and interesting photographs illustrating the work of the office and the people it served. This book is invaluable for genealogists interested in learning more about emigration, as well as for anyone interested in Wisconsin history and German-American studies. |

Acoustic Surveillance of Physically Unmodified PCs |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| Computer equipment produces a wide range of emanations in the visible, electromagnetic, and acoustic spectra. It is well known that electromagnetic emanations can reveal information about the operations being performed by a machine, and it has recently been shown that acoustic emanations can do the same. Techniques have recently been developed to manipulate electromagnetic emanations so that they can surreptitiously transmit unsecured data to a remote receiver. In this paper, we demonstrate how acoustic emanations can be manipulated to transmit arbitrary data and show how this technique can be used to create a practical, software-only acoustic key logger. We also recommend countermeasures to prevent such an attack from being initiated. This research is part of an ongoing research in information security. |

Comets and the Origin and Evolution of Life |
|
|
Publication Description |
|
| Nine years after the publication of Comets and the Origin and Evolution of Life, one of the pioneering books in Astrobiology, this second edition revisits the role comets may have played in the origins and evolution of life. Recent analyses of Antarctic micrometeorites and ancient rocks in Australia and South Africa , the continuing progress in discovering complex organic macromolecules in comets, protostars and interstellar clouds, new insights into organic synthesis in comets, and numerical simulations of comet impacts on the Earth and other members of the solar system yield a spectacular wealth of new results. This second edition is thus actually a new book. As the first edition it is intended as a comprehensive review of current research, accessible to graduate students and others new to the field. Each chapter was prepared by experts to give an overview of an aspect of the field, and carefully revised by the editors for uniformity in style and presentation. |

| Punk Productions offers a history of punk aesthetics and economics. It combines concepts from Marxism and psychoanalysis to identify desires that punk expresses through its material productions and social relations. The book also describes six of the major punk scenes, from early New York and England punk to California Hardcore and the Riot Grrrls, while also examining the fanzines that chronicle those scenes. Punk Productions argues that punk is not just a style or an aesthetics; it's also an economics, especially its most combative elements. Finally, the book places its economic theory of punk within the broader fields of the commodity form, the music industry, and contemporary capitalism. |

Publication Description |
|
| Amphotericin B (AmB) is the drug of choice for treating systemic fungal infections in humans. However, side effects include intense inflammation and fever. Three new lipid based AMB formulations (ABCD, LAMB, and ABLC) have been developed and show a variable reduction in side effects in patients compared to the current AmB drug (FZ). To understand the molecular basis for this, we used modern protein and genetic array technology in cell models to correlate the production of inflammatory proteins with clinical outcomes. The paper highlighted here is the first in a series to investigate cellular responses to these drugs. |
