This paper begins with a historical review of flashing lights and physical measurement of flashing lights since the time the Blondel-Rey equation was developed. Then the recent work on the physical measurement standards for flashing lights, developed in 1997 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is introduced. The paper also discusses the physical requirements and practical asp...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This prospective study investigated whether surgery for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) affects cognitive function and cerebral blood flow (CBF). METHODS Cognitive tests using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised, Wechsler Memory Scale, Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure test, and CBF measurements using single-photon emission computed tomography were perfor...

Deep-sea sediments enriched in rare-earth elements and yttrium (REY) plus scandium (Sc), termed “REY-rich mud,” have attracted attention as a possible resource for these critical industrial elements. Examples been reported from the western North Pacific, central low-latitude South eastern Pacific. Although previous studies of pelagic clay existence highly REY-rich mud ultraoligotrophic Pacific ...

background and aim: although recent research has revealed the positive effects of bilin­gualism on children's cognitive abilities, little information is available on the relationship bet­ween bilingualism and working memory. working memory is generally composed of four dis­tinct parts, among which the phonological loop plays an important role in speech and language development, reading skills, ...

This paper characterizes several belief-revision rules in a uni…ed framework: Bayesian revision upon learning some event, Je¤rey revision upon learning new probabilities of some events, Adams revision upon learning some new conditional probabilities, and ‘dual-Je¤rey’revision upon learning a new conditional probability function. Despite their di¤erences, these revision rules can be characterize...

The purpose of the present study is to compare the effect of aging on direct and indirect measures of temporal order memory, derived from the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT). The spontaneous order in which the list was recalled in Trial 5 served as the indirect measure, and the explicit reordering of the words into their original order of presentation (i.e., Trial 10) served as the dir...

Richard Je¤rey regarded the version of Bayesian decision theory he ‡oated in ‘The Logic of Decision’and the idea of a probability kinematics a generalisation of Bayesian conditioning to contexts in which the evidence is ‘uncertain’as his two most important contributions to philosophy. This paper aims to connect them by developing kinematical models for the study of preference change and practic...
