Steingrimsson and Luce (2003a) outlined the second author’s proposed psychophysical theory (Luce, 2002, 2003a,b) and tested behavioral attributes that, separately, gave rise to one psychophysical function, Ψ, that maps pairs of physical intensities onto the positive real numbers that represents subjective summation and a second one, Ψ∗,that represents a form of ratio production. This article ta...

We studied how soil pH (pHs 4 to 8) influenced the mineralization of low-molecular-weight (LMW)-dissolved organic carbon (DOC) compounds, and how this compared with differences in microbial community structure. The mineralization of LMW-DOC compounds was not systematically connected to differences in soil pH, consistent with soil respiration. In contrast, the microbial community compositions di...

JANUARY 2002 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | D uring the past two years, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Board of Trustees and other members of the UCAR university community have become increasingly concerned about the number of students applying for graduate school (Anthes 2000a). A number of us have seen the pool of applicants shrink at our own Ph.D. programs in r...

The paper addresses control related design issues for neutralization plants. Mainly for control reasons, the neutralization is usually performed in several steps (mixing tanks) with gradual change in the concentration. The aim is to give recommendations for issues like tank sizes and number of tanks. Assuming strong acids and bases, we derive linearized relationships from the disturbance variab...
