Integrity in Research and Scholarship

Conducting cutting-edge research and scholarship becomes more complicated with each passing year; forming a collaborative research group offers a way to navigate this increasing complexity. Yet many individuals whose work might benefit from the formation of a collaborative team may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of attempting to build and maintain a research group. We propose this simple guide for starting and maintaining such an enterprise.

Complex Dayside Particle Precipitation Observed During The Passage Of A Solar Wind Rotational Discontinuity, Simon Wing, Jean Berchem, C Philippe Escoubet, Charles J. Farrugia

Faculty Publications

The dayside particle precipitation during the passage of a solar wind rotational discontinuity (RD) event on 10 April 2015 is examined and reviewed. The RD leads to complex structures at the magnetopause, boundary layer, mantle, and cusp even though the geomagnetic activity level remains low. Particle precipitation data from DMSP F17 reveal the formation of an unusual boundary layer where the low energy (cold) ions exhibit energy-latitude dispersion that is usually associated with mantle while the high energy (hot) ions look like typical magnetospheric ions. DMSP F17 and F19 observe a double cusp that is a signature of magnetic reconnection …

Examining The Utility Of The Early Childhood Development Index (Ecdi) Among Children In The Nigeria Context, Ngozi V. Enelamah, Smitha Rao, Margaret Lombe, Mansoo Yu, Chrisann Newransky, Chrisann Newransky, Melissa L. Villodas, Andrew Foell, Von Nebbitt

Faculty Publications

An estimated 6 million children under the age of five in Nigeria (out of nearly 31 million) risk not reaching their full developmental potential. The dearth of context-relevant measures poses a challenge to the planning and implementation of effective interventions. This study assesses the utility of the Early Childhood Development Index (ECDI) in Nigeria. We used the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys to track progress among 3- to 4-year-old children (n = 11,073); 3-year-old, 51%; female, 49%. Using random calibration samples, the results from psychometric tests indicate that while over half of the children were on track in their development based …

Lotic-Sipco2: Adaptation Of An Open-Source Co2 Sensor System And Examination Of Associated Emission Uncertainties Across A Range Of Stream Sizes And Land Uses, Andrew L. Robison, Lauren E. Koenig, Jody D. Potter, Lisle E. Snyder, Christopher W. Hunt, William H. Mcdowell, Wilfred M. Wollheim

Faculty Publications

River networks play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, as relevant sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. Advancements in high-frequency monitoring in aquatic environments have enabled measurement of dissolved CO2 concentration at temporal resolutions essential for studying carbon variability and evasion from these dynamic ecosystems. Here, we describe the adaptation, deployment, and validation of an open-source and relatively low-cost in situ pCO2 sensor system for lotic ecosystems, the lotic-SIPCO2. We tested the lotic-SIPCO2 in 10 streams that spanned a range of land cover and basin size. Key system adaptations for lotic environments included prevention of biofouling, …

Biden, Trump Running Away With Primary Races In Vermont 2/22/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Less than two weeks away from the primary on Super Tuesday, former President Donald Trump holds a 30 percentage point lead over former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley among likely Republican Primary voters in Vermont. President Joe Biden holds an even larger lead over Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips, though relatively few Democratic primary voters would be enthusiastic if Biden is the party's nominee. Vermonters rate Biden more highly than Trump on several characteristics. Biden's biggest strengths according to Vermont residents are his honesty, integrity, and temperament, though many rate his mental and physical fitness poorly.

Biden, Trump Dominate Maine Primaries 2/22/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

The 2024 Maine Presidential Primary is less than two weeks away and more than three-quarters of likely Republican primary voters support former President Donald Trump. President Joe Biden holds an even larger lead on the Democratic side, but likely Democratic voters are less enthusiastic about him becoming the party's nominee. When asked to rate several characteristics of Biden and Trump, majorities rate Biden's temperament, honesty, and integrity more highly than Trump's, but a plurality believe Trump has better mental and physical stamina.

Nh Primary: Easy To Vote And Accurately Counted, Support For First-In-The-Nation Amendment 2/20/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Voters in the 2024 New Hampshire presidential primary overwhelmingly think it was very easy to vote and two-thirds are very confident that their vote was accurately counted. Less than a quarter of Granite Staters feel that voter fraud is a serious problem in the state but nearly half feel it is a serious problem in the United States overall. Two-thirds of New Hampshire residents support the state law requiring the New Hampshire primary to be first in the nation and a small majority support a constitutional amendment requiring the New Hampshire primary to be first.

Examining The Evolution Of Network Governance Forms Of An Event Leveraging Collective: A Longitudinal Investigation, Landy Lu, Ran Zhou, Guangzhou Chen, Laura Misener

Faculty Publications

This study aims to investigate how an event leveraging collective’s network governance forms evolved from pre- to post‐Games and how these forms influenced members' collaborative engagement. We adopted a longitudinal qualitative case study approach. Our primary data sources included 996 pages of archival documents and 18 interviews with collective members. We found that in the pre- and during-Games stage, the leveraging collective adopted a shared participant-governed form with a facilitator. This participant-driven structure could enhance connectedness and collaborative engagement among member organizations. In the postevent phase, the collective assumed a pillar-governed form with a facilitator. Although this structure appeared to …

Trump Leads Haley In Final Cnn/Unh New Hampshire Primary Poll 1/21/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Former President Donald Trump leads former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley by 11 percentage points in New Hampshire’s first in the nation presidential primary. Haley holds a significant lead among undeclared (“independent”) voters, but this is not likely to lead to a Haley victory as Trump holds a wider lead among registered Republicans. Immigration is the most important issue to GOP primary voters.

Lifespace Patterns Of College Students High And Low In Personal Intelligence, John D. Mayer

UNH Personality Lab

Personal intelligence (PI) refers to the capacity to accurately reason about personality in oneself and other people. We hypothesize that people who are higher in personal intelligence differ from others in their relationships and behaviors. We conducted a series of theoretically-guided studies to examine how PI is associated with a person’s self-reported activities, interactions, situations, and group memberships: their lifespace. In two archival and three new studies of college students (Ns = 385, 358, 1186, 416, 696, respectively) we first identified 15 short, factor-based scales describing aspects of college students’ lifespace that are potentially relevant to personal intelligence. …

Mainers Divided On Trump Ballot Exclusion; Biden Approval Falls Sharply 1/9/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Maine residents are divided over Secretary of State Bellows' ruling excluding former President Donald Trump from the primary ballot in Maine. A majority feel that partisan politics played at least some role in the decision. A majority of Mainers also believe Trump bears a good deal of responsibility for the events of January 6th, 2021 in Washington D.C. Six in ten Mainers disapprove of President Biden's job performance, a sharp decline since October.

Trump & Biden Lead Comfortably In Vermont Primary Races; Majority Agree With Ballot Exclusion Of Trump In Me 1/9/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

More than half of likely Republican primary voters in Vermont support former President Donald Trump and most of his supporters say that they have definitely decided to vote for him. Trump is followed distantly by former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. On the Democratic side, which most likely primary voters plan to participate in, three-quarters support President Joe Biden while Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson garner very little support. Six in ten Vermonters agree with the decision to disqualify Trump from the primary ballot in Maine.

Haley Within Striking Distance Of Trump In New Hampshire 1/9/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Former President Donald Trump continues to lead the 2024 New Hampshire Republican Primary but former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley has reduced Trump's lead to single digits. Haley would likely move even closer to Trump if former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie were to withdraw, as two-thirds of Christie's supporters select Haley as their second choice. Undeclared voters who plan to vote in the Republican primary favor Haley over Trump by more than two to one, while Trump holds a large lead among registered Republicans. On the Democratic side, President Joe Biden continues to hold a commanding lead despite not being …

Antitrust Law For Blockchain Technology, Seth C. Oranburg

Law Faculty Scholarship

Applying traditional antitrust law to the modern world wide web could break the internet. Lina Khan, the FTC’s current chair, is pushing for enhanced antitrust enforcement to break up Big Tech, seemingly based on the assumption that antitrust law is the right tool for ensuring a free and equitable internet. This assumption may be in error, and this Article seeks to explain why. Antitrust doctrine originally developed from a law enacted 130 years ago to deal with monopolist “robber barons” like Standard Oil. Since 1890, the structure of markets has changed. Today’s information markets through the internet are much different …
