M. O'Sullivan and P. Ekman (2004) claim to have discovered 29 wizards of deception detection. The present commentary offers a statistical critique of the evidence for this claim. Analyses reveal that chance can explain results that the authors attribute to wizardry. Thus, by the usual statistical logic of psychological research, O'Sullivan and Ekman's claims about wizardry are gratuitous. Even so, there may be individuals whose wizardry remains to be uncovered. Thus, the commentary outlines forms of evidence that are (and are not) capable of diagnosing lie detection wizardry.

Event components in autobiographical memories Dijkstra, Katinka; Mısırlısoy, Mine (Informa UK Limited, 2006-10-01) Autobiographical memories contain activity, location, temporal, and participant information (Lancaster & Barsalou, 1997). Our study analysed potential dominance of activity information in autobiographical memories. The results indicated stability in dominance of the activity component, defined as similar occurrence in first and subsequent reports, and a relative absence of the temporal component in these verbal reports. Activity dominance also occurred when activity information from the verbal reports was u...
Measurement of prompt and nonprompt J/psi production in pp and pPb collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-04-01) This paper reports the measurement of J/psi meson production in proton proton (pp) and proton lead (pPb) collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LW. The data samples used in the analysis correspond to integrated luminosities of 28 ph(-1) and 35 nb(-1) for pp and pPb collisions, respectively. Prompt and nonprompt J/psi mesons, the latter produced in the decay of B hadrons, are measured in their dilution decay channels, Differential cross sections are me...
Measurement of jet shapes in top-quark pair events at root s=7 TeV using the ATLAS detector Aad, G.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-12-11) A measurement of jet shapes in top-quark pair events using 1.8 fb(-1) of pp collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented. Samples of top-quark pair events are selected in both the single-lepton and dilepton final states. The differential and integrated shapes of the jets initiated by bottom-quarks from the top-quark decays are compared with those of the jets originated by light-quarks from the hadronic W-boson decays in the single-lepton channel. The light-quark jets are found to ha...
Measurement of the flavour composition of dijet events in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector Aad, G.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-02-01) This paper describes a measurement of the flavour composition of dijet events produced in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector. The measurement uses the full 2010 data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 39 pb(-1). Six possible combinations of light, charm and bottom jets are identified in the dijet events, where the jet flavour is defined by the presence of bottom, charm or solely light flavour hadrons in the jet. Kinematic variables, based on the properties of displace...
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF A2034 CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES Bozkurt, M.; Hudaverdi, M.; ERCAN, ENİSE NİHAL (2008-10-05) We present the analysis of X-ray and optical observations of Abell 2034. It is located at the moderate redshift of z=0.113. X-ray data are taken from the XMM-Newton archive. The best-fit single temperature of 7.6 keV model well defines the diffuse hot plasma. The cluster is observed by ground based optical Turkish National Observatory RTT-150 telescope. X-ray spectra of the individual sources from the cluster outskirts are studied. The intra cluster medium (ICM) temperature and metal distributions are const...
