New members and associates of the American Psychological Association.

The APA Membership Committee announces that the 1,838 persons listed here were elected to initial membership in the American Psychological Association as of January 1, 1985. Of these, 1,392 were elected as Members, and 446 as Associate members. Though not all of them have validated their election by payment of initial dues, all but a few will eventually do so. In addition, in accordance with Article II, Section 8, of the Bylaws, 316 Associate members were transferred to Member status as of January 1, 1985.

Pressure effects on flow and fracture of Be-Al alloys

The flow and fracture behavior of Be-Al alloys were determined in tension with different levels of superimposed pressure. The Be-Al alloys were prepared by Brush Wellman, Inc. (Cleveland, OH) from prealloyed powders processed to either a hot isostatically pressed (“hipped”) or cold isostatically pressed and extruded condition. Significant effects of pressure on both the flow and ductility have been observed at room temperature, with implications on the formability of these materials. The effects of changes in processing conditions and stress state on the flow and fracture behavior are summarized in addition to both optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination of the fracture surfaces. Separate other studies on the alloy constituents (e.g., Al and Be) are also reported. The results are also compared to previous works on monolithic materials and composites tested with high pressure.     

Droplet de-entrainment by inertial impaction on vertical rods in an air-droplet mixture flow

We experimentally investigate the de-entrainment of droplets by inertial impaction on an array of vertical rods in an air-droplet mixture flow. The de-entrainment efficiencies are measured for a single rod, for a single row of rods, and for a multi-row of rods. We investigate the effects of the droplet mass flux (0.5–5.4 kg/m² s), the droplet Weber number (3000–8000), the air velocity (0–6 m/s), the rod geometry, and the surface roughness on the de-entrainment, and the rod diameter-to-pitch ratio effect on the de-entrainment. The results for a single rod show that the de-entrainment efficiency decreases slightly as the droplet mass flux increases; however, in our experimental ranges, there is negligible dependence on the droplet Weber number, the air velocity, and the surface roughness. The rod geometry affects the de-entrainment efficiency. The results for a single row of rods show that the existence of neighboring rods promotes de-entrainment due to droplet splashing, and we develop a correlation to show the effect of diameter-to-pitch ratio on the de-entrainment. Using information on the de-entrainment efficiencies of a single rod and those of a single row of rods, we propose a correlation that predicts the de-entrainment efficiency for a multi-row of rods with a staggered array. The RMS errors of the correlation from the de-entrainment efficiencies experimentally obtained are within 13.5%.

Discusses the contributions made by P. J. Bauer, T. E. Moffit, S. T. Tiffany, L. Cosmides, and R. M. Nosofsky, the 1993 recipients of the Distinguished Scientific Awards for an Early Career Contribution to Psychology presented by the American Psychological Association. Bauer is awarded for her research on the development of memory in preverbal and newly verbal children. Moffit is recognized for her research on the psychopathology and natural history of human antisocial behavior. Tiffany is awarded for his research on cognitive, behavioral, and physiological mechanisms that influence psychopharmacological phenomena. Cosmides is awarded for her leadership in defining the field of evolutionary psychology. Nosofsky is recognized for his theoretical and empirical work on the nature of perceptual classification. A biography of each recipient is provided. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Award for distinguished scientific early career contributions to psychology: Robert M. Nosofsky.

The Early Career Awards, given for the first time in 1974, recognize the large number of excellent young psychologists. Recipients of this award may not have held a doctoral degree for more than nine years. For purposes of this award, psychology has been divided into 10 areas: animal learning and behavior, comparative; developmental; health; cognition/human learning; psychopathology; behavioral and cognitive neuroscience; perception/motor performance; social; applied research; and individual differences. Five areas are considered each year, with areas rotated in two-year cycles. The citation, biography, and selected bibliography of Robert M. Nosofsky, one of the 1993 recipients of the Award for Distinguished Scientific Early Career Contributions to Psychology (Cognition/Human Learning), are presented here.

L'impact des sympt?mes somatiques dans l'évaluation de la dépression chez une population gériatrique.

Studied the relationship among age, physical health status, and psychic and somatic symptoms of depression among elderly adults. Human Ss: 318 male and female Canadian older adults (aged 65–102 yrs). Information on sociodemographic factors and health status was obtained using the Older American Research Scale, French version, by R. Lefran?ois et al (1988). A French version by P. Bourque and D. Beaudette (1982) of the Beck Depression Inventory was also used. The results were evaluated according to each S's sex, age, institutionalized residence status, and health status. Statistical tests were used. (English abstract) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
