We establish a connection between optimal transport theory (see Villani in Topics in optimal transportation. Graduate studies in mathematics, vol. 58, AMS, Providence, 2003, for instance) and classical convection theory for geophysical flows (Pedlosky, in Geophysical fluid dynamics, Springer, New York, 1979). Our starting point is the model designed few years ago by Angenent, Haker, and Tannenb...

In the target article, Kraus, Tan, and Tannenbaum identify a key feature of the psychological experience of social class—perception of one’s rank vis-à-vis others. This rank-based perspective, which reveals the systematic influence of rank on psychological functioning, makes an important contribution to current and future theories of social class. Drawing out the significance of rank brings soc...

In this note, the combined sensitivity and gain margin problem for SlSO linear systems is formulated and solved using a complex function interpolation technique. i t is proved that this problem always has a real rational solution provided it is solvable in the complex irrational sense. The sensitivity minimization problem subject to a gain margin constraint and its dual problem are also conside...

Many memory models represent aspects of words such as meaning by vectors of feature values, such that words with similar meanings are placed in similar regions of the semantic space whose dimensions are defined by the vector positions. Methods for constructing such spaces include those based on scaling similarity ratings for pairs of words, and those based on the analysis of co-occurrence stati...

Exposure to chemical carcinogens is believed to be an important etiological factor in human cancer. Carcinogen-DNA adducts are considered to represent the initiating events leading to cancer. This dissertation was undertaken to determine the DNA adduct formation by cyclopenta[cd]pyrene (CPP), a ubiquitous environmental carcinogen, in vitro and in mice. Calf thymus DNA was reacted in vitro with ...

The recognition of the existence of an aggressive, lethal subtype of breast cancer known as inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) dates back to 1924, when the first comprehensive assessment of IBC, based on a series of 28 patients, was presented by Lee and Tannenbaum.[1] However, the disease is rare, accounting for approximately 2.5% of all newly diagnosed breast cancers in the United States,[2] and...

This study was a replication and extension of an earlier one (Kilty, 1967), which compared the unidimensional (affect only) and the multidimensional (affect, cognition, and behavioral intentions) models of attitude structure, by using the implicative meaning (IM) procedure. According to the multidimensional model, this instrument is a measure of attitudinal cognition. The unidimensional model m...

As Kraus, Tan, and Tannenbaum compellingly argued in their thoughtful target article, there is little doubt that social class has a pervasive influence on human cognition. Here, we build on their article by examining how and why wealth and signals of wealth influence rank dynamics. In our view, a comprehensive account of the impact of social class on psychological functioning must address not o...
