Memory Detection: Theory and Application of the Concealed Information Test
Traditional techniques for detecting deception, such as the 'lie-detector test' (or polygraph), are based upon the idea that lying is associated with stress. However, it is possible that people telling the truth will experience stress, whereas not all liars will. Because of this, the validity of such methods is questionable.
Only a few scholarly articles among the considerable body of secondary literature published on the Lollard or Wycliffite heresy in the last fifty years have focused on the detection and prosecution of this heretical sect; most students of Lollardy have studied either the Lollards themselves or their writings. This monograph, based upon the author's recent doctoral thesis, is thus the first to examine systematically the detection of late medieval heresy in England. It approaches the subject from the point of view of the hunter, rather than the hunted.
Deception detection has traditionally been characterized by approaches which analyze different aspects of deception such as verbal content, non-verbal behavior and polygraph testing. Recent intensive research in this field has resulted in an impressive corpus of cutting-edge knowledge. The contributions of international experts in this volume provide a valuable resource for academics, students and practitioners in the legal domain.
Addresses the difficulties of measuring polygraph accuracy, the usefulness of the technique for aiding interrogation and for deterrence, and includes potential alternatives-such as voice stress analysis and brain measurement techniques.
Microbial Plant Pathogens-Detection and Disease Diagnosis:: Viral and Viroid Pathogens Vol.3
The need for the development of techniques based on the characteristics of the viral proteins and genomic nucleic acids was realized in order to detect, identify, differentiate and quantify viruses in the infected plants/planting materials with or without symptoms of infection. Immunoassays have been successfully applied for the detection of viruses in crop and weed host plant species as well as in the vectors. Nucleic acid-based techniques have been demonstrated to be the most reliable and sensitive tests for detection, identification and differentiation of viruses and viroids present in plants and planting materials..
