Distorting the point: A reply to Wolpe.

Replies to J. Wolpe's (1982) critique of the present author's (1971) review of 100 cases that yielded a 36% relapse rate after behavior therapy. It is maintained that Wolpe misleads the reader to believe that this was a reference to "multimodal therapy" when in fact this was developed later by the present author (1983). The 36% relapse rate was found in those individuals who were treated by traditional behavior therapy. Also questioned is Wolpe's reference to a follow-up rate of 3% or less as characteristic of behavior therapy. (6 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

The coulostatic impulse technique: a critical review of its features and possibilities

Characteristics features of the charge impulse relaxation technique are reconsidered. Together with a discussion on the definition of coulostatic pulses, fundamental differences with comparable relaxation techniques are pointed out. The usual experimental arrangements are discussed and some possibilities for a simple check on reliability are suggested. The influence of double layer relaxation effects on the coulostatic response is treated extensively, starting from recent work on the mechanism of charging ionic double layers. These effects appear to be absent from coulostatic overvoltages in the μs range if the (1–1) electrolyte concentration in the (aqueous) solution is not less than 0.005 M.Analysis of coulostatic relaxation curves normally starts with a log η vs time plot and it is calculated the exchange current densities up to about 0.1 A cm^?2 can be evaluated within 10% inaccuracy. In the case of fast electrode processes, Laplace transformation of the experimental data followed by complex plane analysis, is recommended. This procedure enhances the limit of applicability by about a factor of 10. Finally, some typical categories of experiments are indicated where the coulostatic technique is especially attractive: kinetic, double layer and analytical measurements in poorly conductive systems, kinetic and double layer measurements in systems where fast interfacial processes can take place or where electrochemical parameters are time-dependent.     

Some applications of the McCreight-Meyer algorithm in abstract complexity theory

The McCreight-Meyer algorithm is a priority-queue construction from abstract recursion theory which was designed for the proof of the so-called Naming or Honesty theorem. We explain the ideas behind the algorithm, pointing at its behaviour as a “closure operator” and obtaining various known and new results as corollaties of more general assertions.
