Toddler Behavior Questionnaire
No full textThis questionnaire is a research instrument designed to obtain maternal reports on the anger and tantrum behavior of young children. The target age for the questionnaire is from approximately 10 to 24 months. At this age, typically developing children are in the process of becoming bipedal and most can stand and walk with support, if not independently, at this age. The questions reflect common, everyday situations likely to be experienced by children. The tool was used in studies supported by NIMH grant 17205 (M. W. Sullivan, PI). Two published studies report data from this and an earlier version of the scale and provide basic information on its development and preliminary psychometrics (Sullivan & Lewis, 2012; Sullivan, 2018). The author gives permission for research use of the scale without modification and requests copies of reports of studies including it at a measurement tool.

The Role of Surface Wettability on the Growth of Vapour Bubbles
No full textThis dataset contains processed data and simulation scripts necessary to generate the data presented in the manuscript 'The Role of Surface Wettability on the Growth of Vapour Bubbles' by Patrick Sullivan, Duncan Dockar, Ryan Enright, Matthew K. Borg, Rohit Pillai. The folder contains LAMMPS molecular dynamics scripts to equilibrate an fluid slab at a set temperature and pressure, to insert a bubble into the fluid, and to measure the growth of the bubble. A sample initial molecular configuration is provided. The data for the measured contact angles for various values of fluid-solid potential are provided to allow for altering surface wettability. A C++ post-processing script is also provided to calculate interfacial tensions. The resulting Young contact angles are provided. A sample bubble growth rate measurement is provided, which is compared to the homogeneous and heterogeneous model predictions
Patrick Cusick
No full textTypescript of a biographical sketch of Patrick Cusick, told by I. E. Diehl. He was born in Ireland in 1846, and came to America as a young boy. He lived in California before coming to Utah in 1873. He ran a saloon in Silver City and became a merchant in Eureka. Typed by Timothy L. Sullivan in 194

No full textVagal Tone During Infant Contingency Learning and Its Disruption
No full textThis study used contingency learning to examine changes in infants’ vagal tone during learning and its disruption. The heart rate of 160 five-month-old infants was recorded continuously during the first of two training sessions as they experienced an audiovisual event contingent on their pulling. Maternal reports of infant temperament were also collected. Baseline vagal tone, a measure of parasympathetic regulation of the heart, was related to vagal levels during the infants’ contingency learning session, but not to their learner status. Vagal tone levels did not vary significantly over session minutes. Instead, vagal tone levels were a function of both individual differences in learner status and infant soothability. Vagal levels of infants who learned in the initial session were similar regardless of their soothability; however, vagal levels of infants who learned in a subsequent session differed as a function of soothability. Additionally, vagal levels during contingency disruption were significantly higher among infants in this group who were more soothable as opposed to those who were less soothable. The results suggest that contingency learning and disruption is associated with stable vagal tone in the majority of infants, but that individual differences in attention processes and state associated with vagal tone may be most readily observed during the disruption phase.This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Sullivan, M.

Sullivan managed to pick himself up and stagger across the line, and finished in second place, nine seconds behind the winning time of 2 hours, 35 minutes, 41 seconds. Details
Exploring social mobility with latent trajectory groups
No full textWe present a new methodological approach to the study of social mobility. We use a latent class growth analysis framework to identify five qualitatively distinct social class trajectory groups between 1980 and 2000 for male respondents to the 1970 British Cohort Study. We model the antecedents of trajectory group membership via multinomial logistic regression. Non-response, which is a considerable problem in long-term panels and cohort studies, is handled via direct maximum likelihood estimation, which is consistent and efficient when data are missing at random. Our results suggest a combination of meritocratic and ascriptive influences on the probability of membership in the different trajectory groups
Book Review: Small Armies, Big Cities: Rethinking Urban Warfare
No full textAuthor: Louise A. Tumchewics (editor)
Reviewed by Dr. John P. Sullivan, instructor, Safe Communities Institute, University of Southern California
Dr. John P. Sullivan gives an overview of Louise A. Tumchewics\u27s anthology on the persistent challenge of urban warfare and highlights the work\u27s strongest chapters and their value to commanders and planners of future urban operations. Sullivan mentions chapter author Patrick Finnegan\u27s discussion of liminality as particularly valuable and also calls John Spencer\u27s siege discussion one of the book\u27s core contributions.https://press.armywarcollege.edu/parameters_bookshelf/1040/thumbnail.jp
