The development of a 2 l-item self-report inventory for measuring the severity of anxiety in psychia-ric populations i described. The initial item pool f86 items was drawn from three preexisting scales: the Anxiety Checklist, the Physician's Desk Reference Checklist, and the Situational

are highly cross-correlated, and principal components analysis implies that they are mostly driven by a single common factor. An important implication of this finding is that if any explanatory variables have been omitted, they are likely not firm-specific. We therefore re-run the regression, but 1 this time

We present a general framework for defining nonmonotonic systems based on the notion of preferred maximal consistent subsets of the premises. This framework subsumes David Poole's THEORIST approach to default reasoning as a particular instance. A disadvantage of THEORIST is that it does

presentations followed by a series of auditory presentations. The first series of visual stimuli consisted of three mobiles differing in the number of hanging characters (1, 3, or 6 characters). Each mobile was presented for 20 s, and the presentations were separated by a 10-s intertrial interval. The series

A job analysis was conducted of the knowledge important for newly licensed or certified physical education teachers. The results of the analysis were to be used to develop specifications for The Praxis Series: Professional Assessments for Beginning Teachers and ta support the content validity

Furthermore, the paper analyzes whether a central bank can conduct its intervention operations in a specific manner, in order to increase the likelihood of achieving its objectives. The methodological starting point of the paper is to recognize

Abstract: David Hendry has made major contributions to many areas of economic forecasting. He has developed a taxonomy of forecast errors and a theory of unpredictability that have yielded valuable insights into the nature of forecasting. He has also provided new perspectives on many existing

Contextualisms are something of a craze in philosophy these days. A contextualism maintains that the truth-value of an utterance of a sentence from a specific portion of natural language (e.g., knowledge sentences) may vary depending on the context. Contextualisms pertaining to knowledge
