The California Psychological Inventory (CPI) is a self-report questionnaire designed to measure normal-range human behavior. It consists of 434 true/false items representing concepts—such as Tolerance, Responsibility, Integrity, Empathy, and Self-Control—that are commonly used to describe and understand human behavior. (A detailed description of the CPI can be found in the test manual [Gough, H...

This paper seeks to delineate some of the significant modes of philosophical resistance to, and subversion of, British Idealism already operational in Russell’s earliest work. One key tactic employed in An Essay On the Foundations of Geometry (1897) is to reorient the findings of the ‘modern logic’ of Bradley and Bosanquet by employing some ‘transcendental’ or neo-Kantian strategies. Russell th...

If there is no the Standard Model Higgs boson, the interaction among the gauge bosons becomes strong at high energies (∼ 1TeV). The effects of strong electroweak symmetry breaking could manifest themselves indirectly through the vertices as anomalous gauge boson couplings before they give rise to new physical states like resonances. Here a study of the measurement of trilinear gauge couplings κ...

We calculate the Coulomb effects on the cross section for e + e − → W + W − taking into account the instability of the W bosons. We carefully explain the consequences of instability throughout the energy range which will be accessible at LEP2. We present a formula which allows these effects to be easily implemented.

We study interference effects between resonant and nonresonant amplitudes for the γγ → W + W − process at a backscattered photon-photon collider. We show that a Higgs boson with M H > ∼ 200 GeV is manifest as a resonant dip in the W + W − invariant mass spectrum and we investigate its statistical significance. There has been recent interest in weak gauge boson pair production in γγ collisions a...

Professor W. Wallace Cleland, the architect of modern steady-state enzyme kinetics, died on March 6, 2013, from injuries sustained in a fall outside of his home. He will be most remembered for giving the enzyme community Ping-Pong kinetics and the invention of dithiothreitol (DTT). He pioneered the utilization of heavy atom isotope effects for the elucidation of the chemical mechanisms of enzym...
