We prove that any partition of an n-dimensional discrete box into nontrivial sub-boxes must consist of at least 2 sub-boxes, and consider some extensions of this theorem.

Extra items added to a list cause memory for the other items to decrease (the list-length effect). In one of the present studies we show that strengthening (or weakening) some items on a list harms (helps) free recall of the remaining list items. This is termed the list-strength effect. However, in seven recognition studies the list-strength effect was either absent or negative. This held wheth...

We discuss an efficient hardware implementation of the Rijndael S-box.
