THE most meaningful present-day theories of hypnosis interpret hypnotic phenomena along three major lines: (a) desire on the part of the subject to play the role of a hypnotized subject (Sarbin, 1950; White, 1941), (b) increase in suggestibility (Hull, 1933), and (c) a further less well-defined category that is called by White "an altered state of consciousness" and by others, "cortical inhibit...

In this survey, we shall be concerned with the category of finite–dimensional representations of the untwisted quantum affine algebra when the quantum parameter q is not a root of unity. We review the foundational results of the subject, including the Drinfeld presentation, the classification of simple modules and q-characters. We then concentrate on particular families of irreducible represent...

This paper explores the system of categories that is used to classi­ fy articles in Wikipedia. It is compared to collaborative tagging systems like del.icio.us and to hierarchical classification like the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). Specifics and common­ alities of these systems of subject indexing are exposed. Analysis of structural and statistical properties (descriptors per record, re...

In two experiments with adults (N = 126), we examined the influence of sampling procedure on inductive generalization. In predicate sampling, participants learned the category identity of individuals known to possess some property. In subject sampling, individuals selected for category identity were discovered to possess a novel property. In both experiments, sampling procedure influenced induc...

Currently, most clinical laboratories in the United States are not subject to significant federal oversight. Beginning in 1992, however, the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 n1 (CLIA-88) will subject hundreds of thousands of large and small clinical laboratories to a complex assortment of federal requirements. In particular, CLIA-88 will require laboratories engaged in medical...
