The concept of preference is of primary importance in psychology. It has had an implicit role in almost every psychological theory, but no major efforts have been directed toward the explication of preference as a psychological concept. Why is one object preferred to another? is a question which has remained unan- swered, at least to the extent tha...
A model for large p⊥ production, yielding three different scaling relations in different regions of s and p⊥ is presented. The couplings may be chosen such that 1 s4 scaling is valid at present energies while at higher energies 1 s2 scaling should manifest itself. © 1974.
In this article, three dissimilarity measures for the unconstrained sorting task are investigated. All three measures are metrics, but they differ in the kind of compensation which they make for differences in the sizes of cells within sortings. Empirical tests of the three measures are done with sorting data for occupations names and the names of ...
The effects of restrictions of available character space on the mean morphological distance between living members of evolutionary phylads are examined by Monte Carlo simulation. The approach involves specifying the degree to which ancestor-descendant species may differ and limiting the range of attainable character states within a phylad. Morpholo...
Energy transfer from n3* pyrazine to GaAs(110) has been studied. Within experimental error, a classical dielectric model quantitatively reproduces measurements of the distance-dependent lifetime for emitter-surface separations from 430 to 20. Analysis of the energy transfer shows that the molecular electronic excitation is dissipated through the cr...
The temperature dependence of the upper critical magnetic field Hc2(T) of the heavy-fermion superconductor UBe13 was determined resistively. The magnitude of the initial slope of Hc2(T).
The influence of pressure P on the superconducting transition temperature Tc has been determined for the (U1-xThx)Be13 system. The magnitude of dTcdP increases by a factor of 3 for x>1.7% where an increase of Tc is observed at ambient pressure. The phase diagram of Tc(x) for P=10 kbar shows two distinct regions of superconductivity. © 1986 The Amer...
The response of groundwater basins to natural and anthropogenic inputs depends on many interrelated factors such as the values of groundwater flow and mass transport parameters. This work presents a theoretical analysis of the impact of parameter uncertainty on groundwater management decisions. It is shown that under classical, Bayesian, and determ...
The properties of linear spatial interpolators of single realizations and trend components of regionalized variables are examined in this work. In the case of the single realization estimator explicit and exact expressions for the weighting vector and the variances of estimator and estimation error were obtained from a closed-form expression for th...
