Fishman and Tulchinsky (1) present evidence that the catechol estrogen 2hydroxyestrone suppresses serum prolactin in normal ovulatory young women. However, in 3 of the 12 subjects studied the authors were unable to suppress serum prolactin and suggested that prolactin response to 2-hydroxyestrone is subjectand not time-dependent. In a study designed to evaluate the kinetics of catechol estrogen...

In this rejoinder I respond separately to Daniel Fishman’s and Ronald B. Miller’s respective arguments regarding my views about objectivity and causality, owing to the fact that Fishman finds a place for “objectivity” and “causality” within his theoretical model whereas Miller does not. First, I question the basis for Fishman’s conclusion that coherence and pragmatic models are objectivist acco...

In an experiment described by Fishman et al. [1994], high energy photons of atmospheric origin were detected by the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) detectors, located on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO). In this paper we assess the possibility that the bursts may be bremsstrahlung produced by relativistic (>1 MeV) runaway electron beams accelerated in an avalanche process ...

In the inaugural edition of Prosthetics and Orthotics International, Fishman identified the psychological sciences as one of six indispensable areas of skill and knowledge in professional prosthetic-orthotic practice. Given the journal's significant role in reporting and developing pertinent research and practice, this review assesses the profile of psychology in prosthetic and orthotic researc...

How should a monopolist price a durable good or a new technology that is subject to network externalities? In particular, should the monopolist set a low \introductory price" to attract a \critical mass" of adopters? In this paper, we provide intuition as to when and why introductory pricing might occur in the presence of network externalities. Incomplete information about demand or asymmetric ...
