American Psychological Foundation: National Media Awards.

The National Media Awards program was established in 1956 by the American Psychological Foundation to honor outstanding reporting in the national media on psychology. These awards are offered as a means of recognizing and encouraging the communication of psychology to the general public by reporters, magazine and free-lance writers, television, radio, films, and books. Awards are usually made in five categories: radio, television/film, newspaper reporting, magazine writing, and books/monographs. The winners of the separate media categories competed with each other for the $1,000 Grand Prix, an award for the single outstanding communications effort about psychology in 1976. The winning citations and the Grand Prix were presented at the time of the APA Convention. There was no 1976 winner in the television/film category. Lonnie Carton, a psychologist at Tufts University, won the award in radio for her daily program, "The Learning Center," produced by WEEI Newsradio 59 in Boston and broadcast on all CBS-owned stations. Edward Edelson, science editor of the New York Daily News, won the newspaper reporting category for his three articles on "The Gender Revolution," which appeared in the issues of June 30, July 1, and July 2, 1975. Kenneth L. Woodward, general editor of Newsweek magazine, was the winner of the magazine writing category. With Phyllis Malamud, Woodward authored the September 22, 1975, cover article, "Who's Raising the Kids?: The Parent Gap." Jonathan L. Freedman, professor of psychology at Columbia University, won the books/monograph category for Crowding and Behavior. His book was published by W. H. Freeman and Company in San Francisco (paperbound) and by the Viking Press in New York (hardbound). In 1976 there were two recipients of the Grand Prix Award. Jonathan L. Freedman was recognized for his book, which was cited as "a comprehensive study of the nature of crowding and its effects on human beings." Edward Edelson was acclaimed for "three articles on 'The Gender Revolution,' a thoroughly researched and well-written analysis of recent findings on and changing attitudes toward male and female roles. In addition, there were a number of honorable mentions in each of the media categories. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

The population make-up of residential areas: Structure and changes (Douai, France)

In a given social environment, what is theimpact of housing status, of the socialperception and identification of residentialareas on its actual population make-up? Underwhat conditions do these perceptions change?These questions have led us to determine foursynthetic variables of residential space:the socio-residential status of housingtypes (symbolic links between thecharacteristics of the housing unit and theposition of its occupant in society); the ``housing zones'' (impact of the composition ofthe housing stock on the social markersdefining a residential area); the residential areas (actual ``social marker'');and the local impact (social markers thatare not directly linked to the nature of thehousing stock).This article describes the methods and modelsused to construct these variables. They areused to understand the links betweenresidential movements and changes in thepopulation make-up in the area of Douai (inNorthern France), located in a formercoal-mining field which was gradually closed,beginning in the 1970s. We used secondaryprocessing of the 1990 partial census surveysof one-quarter of the French population, and wecarried out 1,344 surveys with households whichhad moved in 1994.Results show that mobility is often linked to``crisis'' situations: these are moves which donot aim to improve one's socio-residentialstatus. In the end, most households remainwithin the same housing category, in the sameresidential area, and in the same housingzone.

建筑场地地震力影响单因素分析

通过给定某些特定假设条件,利用反应谱原理计算出不同场地类型、设防烈度、自振周期和阻尼比情况下的地震力,利用这些计算结果来分析判断各因素与地震力之间的作用关系,计算结果表明:利用抗震设计反应谱计算出的地震力,当诸多因素中只有唯一变量时,其与自振周期成反比,与阻尼比成反比,与设防烈度成正比,与场地类型成正比。     

Measurement of the colour of white and rosé wines in visual tasting conditions

We have designed a colour measurement method that reproduces the conditions found during visual colour assessment of wines. In particular the illumination, background, wine sampler and the relative positions of sampler, illumination and observer have been controlled. Using this method, the colour of 33 white wines and 33 rosé wines was measured and expressed in terms of the CIELAB colour coordinates. Colour of wine samples was also assessed by expert wine tasters. White wines were classified into three colour categories: Straw-yellow, Yellow-gold and Yellow-green. Rosé wines were classified into four colour categories: Raspberry, Strawberry, Redcurrant and Salmon. The performance of CIELAB colour coordinates to reproduce the observed classification has been established using discriminant analysis. The central region of the wine surface gives the best results having lower measurement errors and higher classification performance. For white wines a*, b* and h _ab are the relevant colour coordinates scoring 84.8% of correctly classified samples. In rosé wines L*, a* and h _ab in the central region correctly classify 100% of the samples. This study demonstrates that colour of white and rosé wines can be measured in the same conditions that are found in the visual colour assessment when precise information on the visual colour appearance of wines is required.     

Influence of atmospheric pollution on corrosion of materials in Saudi Arabia

Research has been carried out for 7 years in eight marine atmospheres with annual average chloride deposition rates of 63–704?mg Cl^?/m² day and sulphur dioxide deposition rates of 6.851–10.887?mg SO₂/m² day. A study of environmental parameters: temperature, relative humidity, airborne chloride and SO₂ on the site have been accomplished. Apart from this, the paper also considers the corrosion rates of carbon steel, stainless steel (AISI 304) and galvanised steel and the resulting corrosion products and layers, and their dependence of atmospheric salinity of the site. X-ray diffraction analyses were carried out in order to understand the lepidocrocite and goethite, high akaganeite and magnetite contents of corrosion products. Corrosion rates were determined by weight loss. The aggressive classification was made as per the ISO 9223. Moreover, a technique for calculation of coefficients in the power-linear function for long-term prediction of metal corrosion losses of exposed metals and alloy are presented.     

A cross‐cultural colour‐naming study. Part I: Using an unconstrained method

Colour naming by panels of British and Taiwanese subjects (speaking English and Mandarin, respectively) was used to study colour categorization, and the results applied to investigate differences of usage between the two languages. Fifty British and 40 Chinese subjects took part in experiments using an unconstrained method with 200 ISCC‐NBS colour samples. Data analysis was performed to calculate the frequency and codability of each colour name in each group and subgroup. These names were then grouped using 7‐category and 4‐category methods to find the culture and gender differences. It was confirmed that the 11 basic names found by Berlin and Kay were the most widely used for both languages. The results showed a close agreement between the two languages in terms of colour categories, but a large discrepancy in the use of secondary names due to cultural differences. The cross‐cultural comparison revealed a clear pattern of the linkage between language and concepts of colour. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Col Res Appl, 26, 40–60, 2001     

基于数据源分类可信性的真值发现方法研究

网络的普及和电子商务的发展改变了人们信息获取以及消费的方式.Web已经成为大多数人获取信息的重要来源.与此同时,互联网信息质量问题也逐渐凸显.Web中存在大量过时、错误、虚假、片面的信息.其中,不同网站为相同对象提供冲突信息的问题尤为突出.如何从这些冲突信息中找到正确信息成为亟待解决的问题,这类问题又被称为真值发现问题.通过对现有真值发现问题解决方法的调研,发现现有方法均未考虑数据源分类可信性差异对真值发现的影响.因此,提出基于数据源分类可信性的真值发现问题.提出2种方法探测数据源分类可信性差异,并采用贝叶斯的方法迭代计算数据源分类可信性和属性值准确性.另外,通过考虑数据源覆盖率和对象难度对真值发现的影响,进一步提高真值发现算法的准确性.一个真实数据集的实验结果表明,所提方法可以显著提高真值发现的准确性.
