Can Quantitative Assessment of Moral Identity Be Improved?
<p>According to results from Aquino and Reed (study 5, 2002) and Hall and Derryberry (2010), high means and very low standard deviations of the average score for each question for both the internalization and symbolization scales of the Moral Identity Scale (MIS) are common. This study attempts to …

Qualitative and quantitative assessment of UCM in PM2.5 of Bakersfield, CA.
Fine particulate matter (PM ₂.₅ ) was collected in Bakersfield, CA during the CalNex 2010 field experiment and was analyzed for primary organics using a gas chromatograph – mass spectrometer (GC-MS). Substantial presence of unresolved complex mixture (UCM) was observed in the collected PM ₂.₅ . To …

A Quantitative Assessment of Droplet Sizes in Atmospheric and Engine Environments
No discernible difference was seen between exciplex and pentanone tracers in atmospheric conditions and both gave good agreement with the PDA data. The PDA typically reported a wider spray because had to record for a much longer time to pick up enough droplets, increasing the chances of picking up …

Quantitative assessment of daily urinary conjugates in an adult male population
The effect of a self-selected and semisynthetic diet on urinary conjugates levels was determined in 18 male adults (22-40 y). Urinary conjugates were also quantified to develop an index of detoxification using a multivariate approach. The four major urinary conjugates measured were glucuronides, …
