We discuss how organizations can evaluate psychological science for its potential usefulness to their own purposes. Common sense is often the default but inadequate alternative, and bench-marking supplies only collective hunches instead of validated principles. External validity is an empirical process of identifying moderator variables, not a simple yes-no judgment about whether lab results re...

and lasting about ten years to the time of complete maturity. The limits of this period are rather indefinite. It is immediately preceded by a year or two of rapid growth and great physical and spiritual change. This short period of change is the time when the boy is at the parting of the ways. He is ceasing to be a child, but is not yet a man. He is in the 'hobble-de-hoy' stage of life. He is ...

In this paper we build on earlier observations and theory regarding word length frequency and sequential distribution to develop a mathematical characterization of some of the language features distinguishing isometrically lineated text from unlineated text, in other words the features distinguishing isometrical verse from prose. It is shown that the frequency of Qn of n syllables making comple...

Introduction. The Martian mid-latitudes are regions of high scientific interest given recent descriptions of mantling deposits and glacial features believed to be relicts of recent ice ages on Mars [1-4]. Geomorphic indicators of ground ice have long been proposed to be concentrated in mid-latitude zones based on analyses of such features as lobate debris aprons, lineated valley fill, and conce...

Orthopyroxene is the second most abundant mineral in upper mantle and, like olivine, can form crystallographic preferred orientations (CPO) during deformation that may influence seismic anisotropy. Here we use a compilation of 21 peridotites which both olivine and orthopyroxene CPOs are preserved to document range CPO types explore their effects on anisotropy peridotites. In addition four previ...

The proposed binarization is a scheme of parting a image pixel values into two classes black as foreground and white pixels as background then the thresholding is found for well known scheme for document image binarization. In this proposed work for the decomposition of both global and local thresholding this basic thresholding value we can use further. Here the global thresholding scheme is ef...

According to the proponents of Developmental Systems Theory and the Causal Parity Thesis, the privileging of the genome as “first among equals” with respect to the development of phenotypic traits is more a reflection of our own heuristic prejudice than of ontology the underlying causal structures responsible for that specified development no more single out the genome as primary than they do o...
