The author discusses the comprehensive outlook that shaped Ian Suttie's psychology. Suttie is seen as a background influence behind the British school of psychoanalysis, and his ideas pervade that school and therefore late-modern notions of the mind. The author describes the formation of Suttie's independent theory, and argues that his project was expressly ideological, as he tried to counter what he saw as the reactionary and disruptive influence of Freud's classical theory. Suttie offered an optimistic perception of the mind, which could serve as the basis for a progressive social policy. This perception was rooted in the outlook of early 20th-century reforming liberalism, whose preferences and prejudices it shares. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献
The viscosity characteristics of solutions of PU in DMF containing different amounts of lithium chloride and perchlorate wer
investigated. The dependence of the relative viscosity of the ternary systems LiX—PU—DMF on the type and content of the lithium
salt was established. A hypothesis was advanced concerning the coordination of lithium cations with polyurethane functional
groups.

Sixty-six class-II CAD/CAM-manufactured ceramic inlays (Cerec) were placed in 27 patients. Each patient received at least one inlay luted with a dual-cured resin composite and one inlay luted with a chemically cured resin composite. The inlays were examined 5 years after luting using the California Dental Association (CDA) criteria. Eighty-nine percent of the 66 inlays were rated 'satisfactory'. During the follow-up period replacement was required for 3 inlays because of inlay fractures (4.5%) and 1 inlay because of fracture of the tooth substance (1.5%). All those inlays were luted with the dual-cured resin composite luting agent. Of the remaining 62 inlays the CDA rating 'excellent' was given to 84% for color, 97% for surface, and 81% for anatomic form. 'Excellent' margin integrity was seen in 52% of the dual-cured resin composite luted inlays and in 61% of the chemically cured resin composite luted inlays. No statistically significant (P> 0.05) difference was observed between the two luting agents. 相似文献
The mineralogical composition of the clay fraction and the non-carbonate residue in the parent rocks of 9 Mediterranean brown forest soils was determined, using X-ray diffraction DTA, Integral Thermal Analysis, electron microscopy and precise chemical analytical technique. The percentage ratio in the clay fraction of the soil and in the non-carbonate residue of the corresponding parent material was analyzed statistically and found low correlation. This is to be expected because of the great variability in the parent rock and the difficulty of collecting representative samples of the rocks. The genesis of these soils was compared to that of terra-rossa and rendzina soils (for which there is a very high correlation between rock and clay). The dominant clay mineral present was montmorillonite. In some soils fairly high amounts of kaolin were found. The basis for considering this soil type as a bridge between terra-rossa and rendzina is discussed. 相似文献
The antennal lobe plays a central role for odor processing in insects, as demonstrated by electrophysiological and imaging experiments. Here we analyze the detailed temporal evolution of glomerular activity patterns in the antennal lobe of honeybees. We represent these spatiotemporal patterns as trajectories in a multidimensional space, where each dimension accounts for the activity of one glomerulus. Our data show that the trajectories reach odor-specific steady states (attractors) that correspond to stable activity patterns at about 1 second after stimulus onset. As revealed by a detailed mathematical investigation, the trajectories are characterized by different phases: response onset, steady-state plateau, response offset, and periods of spontaneous activity. An analysis based on support-vector machines quantifies the odor specificity of the attractors and the optimal time needed for odor discrimination. The results support the hypothesis of a spatial olfactory code in the antennal lobe and suggest a perceptron-like readout mechanism that is biologically implemented in a downstream network, such as the mushroom body. 相似文献
The complex high-frequency conductivity of GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As heterostructures that are δ-doped and modulation-doped with silicon was investigated by acoustic methods under conditions of the integer quantum Hall effect. Both the real (σ1) and imaginary (σ2) parts of the complex conductivity σ(ω, H)=σi?iσ2 were determined from the dependences of the absorption and velocity of surface acoustic waves on magnetic field. It is shown that, in the heterostructures with electron density ns=(1.3–7)×1011 cm?2 and mobility μ=(1–2)×105 cm2/(V s), the high-frequency conductivity near the centers of the Hall plateau is due to electron hopping between localized states. It is established that, with filling numbers 2 and 4, the conductivity of the Al0.3Ga0.7As:Si layer efficiently shunts the high-frequency hopping conductivity of the two-dimensional interface layer. A method of separating the contributions of the interface and Al0.3Ga0.7As:Si layers to the hopping conductivity σ(ω, H) is developed. The localization length of electrons in the interface layer is determined on the basis of the nearest neighbor hopping model. It is shown that, near the centers of the Hall plateau, both σ(ω, H) and ns depend on the cooling rate of a GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As sample. As a result, the sample “remembers” the cooling conditions. Infrared light and static strain also change both σ(ω, H) and ns. We attribute this behavior to the presence of two-electron defects (so-called DX? centers) in the Al0.3Ga0.7As:Si layer. 相似文献
About 300 samples of groundwater were collected in the region of Extremadura (Spain) in order to analyse their radon activity concentrations. Correlations with the geological characteristics of the aquifer soil were studied. Internal doses by inhalation due to radon exhalation from the water sample and doses by ingestion were estimated. A model was used to calculate the lung dose due to inhalation of radon exhaled from the water. The estimated lung dose range found for the samples was from 2.1 x 10(-3) to 13 mSv a(-1) (the average contribution to the dose due to radon inhalation in Spain being approximately 1.2 mSv a(-1)). The estimated dose by ingestion ranged from 4.1 x 10(-4) to 3.3 mSv a(-1). 相似文献
We study broadcasting, also known as one-to-all communication, in synchronous radio networks with known topology modeled by undirected (symmetric) graphs, where the interference range of a node is likely exceeding its transmission range. In this model, if two nodes are connected by a transmission edge they can communicate directly. On the other hand, if two nodes are connected by an interference edge they cannot communicate directly and transmission of one node disables recipience of any message at the other node. For a network $G,$ we term the smallest integer $d$, s.t., for any interference edge $e$ there exists a simple path formed of at most $d$ transmission edges connecting the endpoints of $e$ as its interference distance$d_I$. In this model the schedule of transmissions is precomputed in advance. It is based on the full knowledge of the size and the topology (including location of transmission and interference edges) of the network. We are interested in the design of fast broadcasting schedules that are energy efficient, i.e., based on a bounded number of transmissions executed at each node. We adopt $n$ as the number of nodes, $D_T$ is the diameter of the subnetwork induced by the transmission edges, and $\varDelta $ refers to the maximum combined degree (formed of transmission and interference edges) of the network. We contribute the following new results: (1) We prove that for networks with the interference distance $d_I\ge 2$ any broadcasting schedule requires at least $D_T+\varOmega (\varDelta \cdot \frac{\log {n}}{\log {\varDelta }})$ rounds. (2) We provide for networks modeled by bipartite graphs an algorithm that computes $1$-shot (each node transmits at most once) broadcasting schedules of length $O(\varDelta \cdot \log {n})$. (3) The main result of the paper is an algorithm that computes a $1$-shot broadcasting schedule of length at most $4 \cdot D_T + O(\varDelta \cdot d_I \cdot \log ^4{n})$ for networks with arbitrary topology. Note that in view of the lower bound from (1) if $d_I$ is poly-logarithmic in $n$ this broadcast schedule is a poly-logarithmic factor away from the optimal solution. 相似文献
ABSTRACT The time evolution of the moisture content in a grain batch fluidized bed dryer is estimated by means of an on–line non–linear estimator (Marquardt–Levenberg algorithm). The inputs to the estimation algorithm are on–line temperature measurements and the output is the surface moisture content. The surface moisture content is used for predicting the grain moisture content through the solution of a single ordinary differential equation that combines the moisture and energy balances over the dryer. In this way the drying curves are obtained through incorporating in a very simple model easily obtainable physical information of the process. 相似文献
