Five experiments using the think/no-think (TNT) procedure investigated the effect of the no-think and substitute instructions on cued recall. In Experiment 1, when unrelated A-B paired associates were studied and cued for recall with A items, recall rates were reliably enhanced in the think condition and reliably impaired below baseline in the no-think condition. In Experiments 2 and 5, final r...

Successful communication between two people depends first on the recognition of the intention to communicate. Such intentions may be conveyed by signals directed at the self, such as calling a person's name or making eye contact. In this study we use functional magnetic resonance imaging to show that the perception of these two signals, which differ in modality and sensory channel, activate com...

In 1978, Chvátal and Thomassen proved that every 2-edge-connected graph with diameter 2 has an orientation with diameter at most 6. They also gave general bounds on the smallest value f(d) such that every 2-edge-connected graph G with diameter d has an orientation with diameter at most f(d). For d = 3, their general bounds reduce to 8 ≤ f(3) ≤ 24. We improve these bounds to 9 ≤ f(3) ≤ 11.

For the last decade, Knowledge Management (KM) (Davenport & Prusak, 1998) has been positioned as a business strategy that advances knowledge as a critical resource and the capacity to integrate pieces of it across the organization as a distinguishing feature for success within the market (Grant, 1996). The strategy promotes the transfer of knowledge within organizations (Alavi & Leidner, 2001, ...

The purpose of this article is to contribute to theorizing the process dimension of informing systems. The conceptualization draws on a framework called the Informing View of Organization and, particularly, on its segment of informing process. The article discusses the concept of informing process and its background in the process view of organization and explores the relationship between infor...

Two studies explored the effects of forget instructions on autobiographical memory at immediate test and following delays of either 12-13 months, or 3-4 months. Using the Autobiographical Think/No-Think procedure (cf., Noreen & MacLeod, 2013), 24 never-depressed participants (Study 1) first generated 12 positive and 12 negative autobiographical memories and associated cues. Participants were th...

In our initial paper discussing plausible steps toward workable warp drive machines. The following article express view on this debate. While there are still objections existing proposals, such as by G. Landis, Harold White etc., because they all based GTR, nonetheless we think it is possible starting to see if deviate from Newton's third law. And discuss a propulsion method negative masses, an...
