by A. T. Beck, C. H. Ward, J. Mock M. D - Archives of General Psychiatry , 1961
"... The difficulties inherent in obtaining con-sistent and adequate diagnoses for the pur-poses of research and therapy have been pointed out by a number of authors. Pasamanick12 in a recent article viewed the low interclinician agreement on diagnosis as an indictment of the present state of psychiatry ..."

and called for "the development of objective, measurable and verifiable criteria of classification based not on per-sonal or parochial considerations, but- on behavioral and other objectively measurable manifestations." Attempts by other investigators to subject clinical observations and judgments

Does Social Capital Have an Economic Payoff? A Cross-Country Investigation

by Stephen Knack, Philip Keefer - Quarterly Journal of Economics , 1997
"... This paper presents evidence that “social capital ” matters for measurable economic performance, using indicators of trust and civic norms from the World Values Surveys for a sample of 29 market economies. Memberships in formal groups—Putnam’s measure of social capital—is not associated with trust o ..."

Investigating the Energy Consumption of a Wireless Network Interface in an Ad Hoc Networking Environment

by Laura Marie Feeney, Martin Nilsson - In IEEE Infocom , 2001
"... Energy-aware design and evaluation of network protocols requires knowledge of the energy consumption behavior of actual wireless interfaces. But little practical information is available about the energy consumption behavior of well-known wireless network interfaces and device specifications do not ..."

not provide information in a form that is helpful to protocol developers. This paper describes a series of experiments which obtained detailed measurements of the energy consumption of an IEEE 802.11 wireless network interface operating in an ad hoc networking environment. The data is presented as a

Do investment-cash flow sensitivities provide useful measures of financing constraints?

by Steven N. Kaplan, Luigi Zingales - QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS , 1997
"... No. This paper investigates the relationship between financing constraints and investment-cash flow sensitivities by analyzing the firms identified by Fazzari, Hubbard, and Petersen as having unusually high investment-cash flow sensitivities. We find that firms that appear less financially constra ..."

Liquidity Risk and Expected Stock Returns

by Lubos Pastor, Robert F. Stambaugh , 2002
"... This study investigates whether market-wide liquidity is a state variable important for asset pricing. We find that expected stock returns are related cross-sectionally to the sensitivities of returns to fluctuations in aggregate liquidity. Our monthly liquidity measure, an average of individual-sto ..."

A standardized set of 260 pictures: Norms for name agreement, image agreement, familiarity, and visual complexity

by Joan Gay Snodgrass, Mary Vanderwart - JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY: HUMAN LEARNING AND MEMORY , 1980
"... In this article we present a standardized set of 260 pictures for use in experiments investigating differences and similarities in the processing of pictures and words. The pictures are black-and-white line drawings executed according to a set of rules that provide consistency of pictorial represent ..."

Time Varying World Market Integration

by Geert Bekaert, Campbell R. Harvey - JOURNAL OF FINANCE , 1995
"... We propose a measure of capital market integration arising from a conditional regime-switching model. Our measure allows us to describe expected returns in countries that are segmented from world capital markets in one part of the sample and become integrated later in the sample. We find that a numb ..."

An Empirical Study of Smoothing Techniques for Language Modeling

by Stanley F. Chen , 1998
"... We present an extensive empirical comparison of several smoothing techniques in the domain of language modeling, including those described by Jelinek and Mercer (1980), Katz (1987), and Church and Gale (1991). We investigate for the first time how factors such as training data size, corpus (e.g., Br ..."

Trade Liberalization, Exit, and Productivity Improvements: Evidence from Chilean Plants

by Nina Pavcnik - Review of Economic Studies , 2002
"... This paper empirically investigates the effects of liberalized trade on plant productivity in the case of Chile. Chile presents an interesting setting to study this relationship since it underwent a massive trade liberalization that significantly exposed its plants to competition from abroad during ..."

Reflectance and texture of real-world surfaces

by Kristin J. Dana, Bram van Ginneken, Shree K. Nayar, Jan J. Koenderink - ACM TRANS. GRAPHICS , 1999
"... In this work, we investigate the visual appearance of real-world surfaces and the dependence of appearance on scale, viewing direction and illumination direction. At ne scale, surface variations cause local intensity variation or image texture. The appearance of this texture depends on both illumina ..."
