Abstract
This paper discusses the various methods of lie detection. The paper examines the psychophysiological methods, such as the polygraph, and non-physiological methods, such as emotional cues, cognitive cues, and facial expressions. The legal aspects of lie detection tests are explored in the paper, including the extent of their credibility.
From the Paper
"Lying and deception can have serious consequences in law enforcement and courtroom proceedings. Thus, forensic psychologists have devoted much effort to developing methods and techniques for detecting lies. Unfortunately, research indicates that the majority of people, including those working in law enforcement, do not reach above chance levels in detecting deception when using intuition alone. For example, Ekman & O?Sullivan (1991) showed in two studies of law enforcement officials that many fail to reach above chance levels. On the other hand, other studies show that some lie catchers, such as psychological experts or the secret service, can perform with above chance accuracy in detecting deception (Ekman, O'Sullivan & Frank, 1999). In light of the difficulty in accurately determining deception, psychological research has focused on examining which cues used to judge deception are most accurate and on the development of more objective psycho physiological measures of deception."

Abstract
This paper discusses an intrusion detection algorithm for analyzing university web server log files. It also discusses integrating hierarchical clustering with other algorithms for an intrusion detection system. The paper proposes to use hierarchical clustering as the main back bone of the intrusion detection system and then incorporating other algorithms like statistics and support vector machines (SVM) as needed.
From the Paper
"The initial plan was to use the user signatures method by Seth Freeman or the Traffic Classification technique but the first method seems more suited to an OS than for web server log files and the second seems a lot more complicated and also requires a destination IP, which is not readily available from our log files. I started out by writing a statistics based algorithm but then added hierarchical clustering based on instructor feedback. Eventually I settled on this paper based on hierarchical clustering with other methods as backup although I still like the statistics approach."

Abstract
This paper studies historical detection, the use of modern technology and advanced psychological techniques to shed additional light on historical occurrences. Based on the book "After the Fact: the Art of Historical Detection" by J.W. Davidson and M.H. Lytle, the paper applies modern psychology and medicine to the examination of the witchcraft scare in the late seventeenth century in New England.
From the Paper
"Later, social historians studied the everyday activities and commerce of the villagers in the area, using records indicating land ownership and places of residence. They found that at the time, some of the inhabitants of the original Old Town Salem had moved to outlying areas and were setting up another village, incurring the animosities of their neighbors. This explanation is dramatically confirmed when a map is used showing the location of the various persons known to have been involved in the cases: the accusers, the defenders and the accused. It was revealed that those accused of being witches and those who accused them lived on opposite ends of the town. Those who defended the accused lived closest to them, and can be presumed to be friends and neighbors. A study of the politics of the region confirms further that financial interests of the villagers were affected by the efforts of some to move out of the village and begin a settlement of their own. These historians believe that this could explain the intensity of the feelings of animosity that culminated in death for some of the accused witches. In the case of the activities of Salem, a contemporary study of historical documents viewed from a perspective of modern education in the fields of medicine, socio-political dynamics and religious studies has uncovered the answer to a question that has puzzled historians for more than two centuries."

Abstract
This paper provides three short essays that relate to the topic of mystery and detection novels and film noir. The paper looks at the hard boiled detective found in these genres. The paper refers to the work of Raymond Chandler, Dashiel Hammett, Walter Mosley and others, as well as to select films.
From the Paper
"The novels of Raymond Chandler, hard-boiled detective fiction in the vein of Dashiel Hammett focus on the experiences of detective Philip Marlowe. If Chandler's novels featuring Marlowe like "The Big Sleep" have a moral, the moral appears to be that there are intelligent and stupid criminals and law enforcement officials and those that are the most intelligent usually wind up victorious."

Anomaly Intrusion Detection, 2007.
This paper discusses anomaly intrusion detection using data mining and statistics.
800 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is a research project, which uses anomaly intrusion detection to determine if there are any abnormal patterns and, hence, intrusions in the provided log files. The author stresses that a statistics approach seems to be the easiest and most straightforward approach. The paper relates that a common practice in IDS software is to incorporate different techniques to detect intrusion so that other methods such as hierarchical clustering can still be included in the system to search for suspicious/ known data patterns such as viruses. The paper includes charts, graphs and a screen-shot.
From the Paper
"Since we are not building a new system, we will try to implement and base the report on existing work. Viewing sequence algorithms for intrusion detection helps to determine which patterns look like patterns of intrusion. The statistics technique is discussed but will not be programmed at this current time. We will also attempt to show manually how this algorithm will detect the patterns using previous research as it correlates to this specific data using logs provided and some data mining algorithm."

From the Paper
"Said dependence has made laptops, iPods, personal websites (such as facebook and myspace), E-mail, electronic marketing, and cellphones part of our everyday life. While one could certainly argue about the upside in all these advents in making us increasingly global, it also makes us vulnerable in ways that we have not been before.
"Myspace pages, for instance, get phished, leaving us socially and professionally vulnerable."

Abstract
This paper discusses fingerprints and fingerprinting. The author gives a historical account of criminological use of fingerprinting. Included in the paper are photos of various types of standard fingerprints, as well as scientific methods used in fingerprinting today.
From the Paper
"Fingerprints are unique markings that provide a means of permanent identification; there are many ways to obtain them from various surfaces in order to identify a suspect in the hopes of solving a crime, or they also can exonerate the falsely accused. Human interest in fingerprints can be traced as far back as the time of the Bible, which makes a reference to ?the prints from man?s hand?"

"After The Face: The Art of Historical Detection", 2008.
A review of the history book "After The Face: The Art of Historical Detection" by James West Davidson and Mark Hamilton Lytle.
1,412 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines "After The Face: The Art of Historical Detection" and shows how the authors, Davidson and Lytle, use interesting and vivid story-telling to bring the information to life. The paper focuses on two chapters; the account of the Dust Bowl, of struggling immigrants in California and the issue of Truman dropping the atom bomb on Japan. The paper highlights the effectiveness of the authors' techniques in writing this history book.
From the Paper
"The "Dust Bowl Odyssey" (Chapter Eleven) in the Davidson - Lytle book, After the Fact, is a very well-illustrated and well-thought-out part of the book. This chapter uses factual historical data, literary references (such as passages from John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath), and the works of well-known photographer Dorothea Lange. Not only does Davidson show some of Lange's work, the authors tell her story, which is a far more interesting way of looking at American history than bland factual narrative."

From the Paper
"Cancer Detection and Prevention
It is generally believed that the earlier cancer is detected, the better is the chance of achieving a cure. For this reason, considerable attention has been paid to the problem of cancer screening. A primary objective of any screening program is to maximize the preventative effect, while minimizing the effort expended.
Screening is defined as the application of tests or examinations to apparently well persons in order to sort out those who probably have a disease from those who probably do not (4:1776). It involves the application of tests or procedures to people who are apparently in good health. Once screening has determined which people are at greater risk for a given disease, then a diagnostic workup can determine whether or not they actually have it..."

From the Paper
"Every self-respecting teacher should know how to recognize a dyslexic pupil and what remedial measures can be done so that the child involved is not effectively denied access to the curriculum. Teachers and nursery attendants need to be aware of the signs before a child gets formal schooling because the damage to be wrought by late recognition of dyslexia may be irreversible. Psychological and behavioral studies, however, warn against relying on signs and folk beliefs in detecting learning difficulties. If these patently unscientific methods are made as basis of instructional programs, it will create more harm than good. Thus, many state laws today compel the education sector to use systematic methods of assessment that would measure possible obstacles to learning with more confidence and accuracy. There is a good number of such assessment strategies now available to the classroom teacher in the detection of children's learning difficulties, especially dyslexia."

Abstract
The following paper discusses how Doyle and ?Sherlock Holmes? entertained generations of readers with the pure delight of escapist detective fiction, paired with the historical diaries and documents written by actual "bobbies" of the day. The writer examines how these famous detective stories give us a vivid picture of how both an author and his major character were shaped by the time, the conditions and the crime of their days.
From the Paper
?When people moved from farming to city and industrial jobs, change came in the ways workers were compensated, in their levels of independence from, or interdependence on, their neighbors, and, probably most noticeable of all, in the sheer amount of space each man could call his own?or maybe more precisely, the lack of space. Many of the teeming crowds in London's streets in the nineteenth century were made up of people living in dire poverty. And all too many were far too familiar with the dark side to this new form of civilization: the rise of more, and different, forms of crime.?

Biotechnology: Breast Cancer Detection, 2005.
This paper is a report of a haplotyping process to determine if the patient was a carrier for the breast cancer gene, BRCA2.

Abstract
This paper explains that haplotype analysis is used to determine if a disease is hereditary and to pinpoint the family members who are carriers for the mutation that causes the disease. The author points out that the pattern of markers associated with marker D aid researchers in identifying whether an individual carries the abnormal form of BRCA2, but there may be many sources of error, including cross-contamination of samples while loading them into the gel, too much voltage causing the products to run too far across the DNA, and general human error. The paper stresses that haplotype testing should be widely available to anyone who wants it because, with this knowledge, the patient may take proactive steps, such as taking Tamoxifen. Charts.

Biotechnology-Breast Cancer Detection
From the Paper
"There are two genes identified with breast cancer. The first is BRCA1. In families that have a history of cancer through multiple generations, women with abnormalities in the BRCA1 gene have a 85% chance of developing breast cancer and a 44% chance of developing ovarian cancer by the age of seventy. Studies of families that were considered high-risk showed that women who had BRCA2 alterations were less likely to develop breast/ovarian cancer than those with BRCA1. Men who inherit an abnormal BRCA2 gene are about 80 times more likely to get breast cancer than a man without the BRCA2 abnormality."

Abstract
This paper discusses a reform process that effectively targets HIV/AIDS detection. The paper explores the state assembly process in New York with the intention of isolating a reform strategy that will be effective at the macro and micro levels. The paper focuses on the legislative processes and what needs to be understood even before the reform processes are implemented.
From the Paper
"Creative Writing in Social Work: A Proposal for Micro and Macro Development Funding Issues for HIV/AIDS in New York Part I. Introduction and Statement of Problem HIV/AIDS affects an unknown number of individuals within New York State. Health Commissioner Antonia C. Novello indicates that "many people with HIV still do not know their HIV status and many people are still receiving their HIV diagnosis when they have already advanced to AIDS" (Novello, 2005; 1). This creates a scenario in which HIV/AIDS planning as an aspect of community health care is impeded; HIV can be treated and maintained in a remission state if diagnosed at an early stage in its process. However, if not diagnosed or left untreated, HIV will evolve into AIDS, which in turn not only reduces the likelihood of the patient's survival but also is high-cost and resource-intensive for the health care community."

Abstract
This research paper investigates the impact of instructional conditions on the scores of three parenting measures: the Adult/Adolescent Parenting Inventory, the Child Abuse Potential Inventory, and the Parenting Stress Index. It explores the ability of the measures validity indexes to detect response distortions. The paper states that most parenting-measure scores change significantly as a result of parents' attempts to distort their responses. The paper provides extensive information and statistics.

From the Paper
"In this study, we explored the impact of instructional conditions (fake good, be honest, fake bad, and respond randomly) on AAPI, CAP Inventory, and PSI scores. Because the assumption was that parents can distort their responses on parenting measures when they are asked or are motivated to do so, parenting-scale score differences were expected for both general-population and at-risk (for child physical abuse) parents across the instructional conditions. Scores indicating low risk on the three parenting measures were expected following the instruction to fake good, whereas scores indicating high risk were expected following the instruction to fake bad. Parents in the be-honest condition were expected to earn scores that fall between parents' scores in the fake-good and fake-bad conditions."

Abstract
This paper begins by explaining the history of lie detecting by showing an example of how the Chinese used rice to test salivation and continues to Farwell's "Brain Fingerprinting" device. It also explores several cases involving polygraph, and problems in current polygraph investigations. Examined are polygraphs, including ones from historical sources, as well as those being developed on the cutting edge of technology.
From the Paper
"Aldrich Hazen Ames, a 31 year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency, was arrested on February 24, 1994 on charges of espionage. The FBI?s investigation had begun in May of the previous year, after Ames began depositing large sums of money at times that correlated with the identification and execution of several CIA and FBI agents operating in Russia (FBI). Despite being a double agent for eight years, Ames passed each and every polygraph examination (Stroh)."
