Reigning views on psychiatric nosology regard as "too subjective" certain features of diagnosis which respected psychiatrists have reported and several empirical studies have confirmed. We describe two of these persistent "mysteries" of psychiatric nosology: rapid diagnoses and the praecox feeling. We then demystify these mysteries by explicating the workings of "typification" in the diagnostic...

The real-time visualisation of 3D city models requires the representation of the buildings in different levels of detail (LoD). This LoDs should be generated automatically by specific generalisation procedures. In this article we propose two approaches which extents cartographic generalisation algorithm for the application to 3D building groups generalisation. The problem of generalisation of o...

Results f rom OLS regression show that the racial typification of crime is a significant predictor of punitiveness, independent of the influence of racial prejudice, conservatism, crime salience, southe...

Here, we present evidence that the alleged correction of the typification of Tradescantia crassula recently proposed by Pellegrini, Forzza and Sakuragui is erroneous. Furthermore, we clarify misconceptions concerning the epitype of T. crassula, the specimen B-100521014, which was collected by Friedrich Sello in southern Brazil, and is not original material for T. crassula.
