More than 40 years ago, Paul Meehl (1978) published a seminal critique of the state theorizing in psychological science. According to Meehl, quality theories had diminished preceding decades, resulting statistical methods standing for theoretical rigor. In this introduction special issue Theory Psychological Science, we apply Meehl’s account contemporary We suggest that by time writing, psychol...

D raw a line down the Shannon, bend and extend it to the north east to include Longford and the Ulster counties, add Kerry and perhaps West Cork, and one obtains the traditional dividing line of Ireland. "The West", the counties to the west and north of the line, are poor, if one is thinking in social terms, or under­ developed, if one is thinking in economic terms. B y implication, the countie...

Fuzzy Water Quality Index (FWQI) was applied in order to assess the degree of drinking water resources in Yazd province, Iran. Thisstudy has also offered the creation of a new fuzzy water quality index (FWQI) to evaluate this tool’s applicability. 12 chemicalparameters including toxic and non-toxic heavy metals measured in 71 groundwater samples collected from drinking water resourcesin rural a...

The organizers of this session presumably knew what they were doing in inviting me to discuss these papers, but 1 am dubious. I doubt that it was because I have a reputation for discovering major flaws in the neoclassical model and thus would readily accept the arguments presented in these papers. My Chicago training and published work would suggest that hypothesis to be a little far-fetched, O...

The imposition of international economic sanctions is a strategic and often multilateral phenomenon of states attempting to coerce each other into altering their behavior by means of economic pain. The interlocking connections of states issuing sanctions and being sanctioned creates a network of interdependent relations and, we argue, the structure of dependencies endogenous to the network is a...

The main issue in this paper is to discuss a parity property that appears in the expressions for the distorted spectrum of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect. When using the convolution integrals method involving scattering laws we argue that the distorted spectrum contains a new term, which is an odd power of the frequency. Such a term, absent in the conventional approaches, implies a cross...
