An understanding of evidence is necessary for effective rhetoric, especially in the sub-area of argumentation. Evidence can be classified according to (1) the argument field in which it is used (court of reason or court of law); (2) the linkage to the assertion being made (direct or circumstantial); and (3) its persuasive force (how convincing it…

A study examined a series of seven experiments conducted in order to identify more precisely the hierarchical structure of the concept emotion, which presumably extended from superordinate to basic and finally subordinate levels. Subjects, 1,052 persons in all, participated in any of seven different experiments: (1) listing basic level categories…

"Eukiefferiella" and "Tvetenia" are closely related genera belonging to the subfamily Orthocladiinae within the Chironomidae, a family of non-biting midges. All known larvae in these genera are aquatic, being found predominantly in running water. Most species prefer cold, swift-flowing, well-oxygenated streams. Although larvae…

Two reduced rank classification procedures, principal components classification and equal weights classification, are described and compared by a simulation study to the standard classification procedure to determine their feasibilities as alternative classification procedures. A justification for the development of these two reduced rank…

A discussion of whether the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD) should be applied to children's materials. (PF)

A clustering algorithm which is tree-like in structure, and is based on user queries, is presented. It is compared to some existing algorithms and is found to be superior. (Author)

Clinical studies suggest that A and B therapist "types" may be associated with variation in the process and outcome of psychotherapy. Because of the proliferation of A-B scales, this study attempts to replicate and clarify several scale versions in order to justify their use in future studies. (Author/PC)

A discussion of principles involved in designing a format for SUPERMARC, an international cataloging exchange. (PF)

The technique presented accomodates multiple populations and a mixture of variable types. It is based on the linear discriminant function and the sequential concept. Also presented is an example in which the technique is used to obtain the classification rule to predict the career choices of individuals based upon a mixture of variable types.…

Investigates the hypothesis that, given a broad sampling of subjects from various occupations, typological analysis will yield a limited number of general interest patterns closely resembling the groups suggested by Holland. (Author)

Librarians should take their cue from discographers in the cataloging and classification of music on phonorecords. The basis of the catalog entry cannot always be the work performed as opposed to the record itself. Some modern music dictates an approach that recognizes the record as inseparable from what is on it. (Author/LS)

A critical examination of two key aspects of Piaget's account of how small children come to understand basic number concepts. (Author/CS)
