Ample anecdotal and some scientific evidence suggests that men who enter a relationship feel that they are flirted with more frequently than before they had a partner. This phenomenon has been interpreted as a form of mate choice copying; the idea that females prefer males that are in a relationship with another female. In two samples (N = 271 and N = 396) we replicate that people indicate that flirting increased after entering a relationship. However, on a more absolute measure (how often people feel they are flirted with), we did not find that those in a relationship felt to be flirted with more than those without one. Our findings cast doubt on the interpretation that ours (and similar) findings are support for mate choice copying, and we argue that alternative explanations should be considered.

Absolute Measure

Despite the popularity of the Beck Depression Inventory (Beck et al., 1961), only Salkind (1969) has attempted to validate this instrument for a general practice population. For some purposes, particularly clinical research, measurement of change in a depressive mood is more important than an absolute measure. So far only Little and McPhail (1973) have considered this aspect of use.

Three measures of modal dynamic importance are studied for the purpose of ranking Craig-Bampton substructure fixed interface mode shapes based upon their contribution to forces at the substructure interface, modal velocity, or modal displacement. These measures can be employed to identify mode shapes which are dynamically important and thus should be retained in a reduced analytical representation, or identified during a modal survey of the substructure. The first method considered. Effective Interface Mass, has been studied previously. However, new results are presented showing the relation between Effective Interface Mass and a commonly used control dynamics measure of modal importance called approximate balanced singular values. In contrast to the general case of approximate balanced singular values, Effective Interface Mass always gives an absolute measure of the dynamic importance of mode shapes. The EIM method is extended to consider modal velocity and modal displacement outputs. All three measures are applied to a simple substructure called the General Purpose Spacecraft. It is shown that each of these measures provides an efficient method for ranking the dynamic importance of Craig-Bampton fixed interface modes such that a reduced representation will accurately reproduce the substructure’s response in the frequency range of interest.

UNIVERSAL PEDAGOGICAL VALUES AND THE PROBLEM OF THEIR RECOGNITION (BASED ON THE WORK OF K. S. LEWIS “ MAN IS CANCELED...”)

The Absolute

The question of the existence of universal pedagogical values is a cornerstone in pedagogy. The English writer and philosopher C. S. Lewis in his work “Man is canceled...” gives his own version of the justification of these values. He designates them through the concepts of“tao”and opposes the attitudes of transhumanism. Lewis believes that the basic values of education exist independently of modern pedagogical attitudes – they are universal and eternal. These values are a manifestation of the highest moral principles and are the absolute measure of modern pedagogical theories. Christiananthropological pathos K. S. Lewis ‘ idea is to reject transhumanism and to defend traditional values in pedagogy. The appeal to universal pedagogical values enshrined in the traditions of various cultures will allow overcoming the consequences of crisis phenomena in the spiritual and moral sphere of modern society, according to the author of the article.

In June, 1884, I had the honour of laying before the Royal Society a communication “On the Permanent Temperature of Conductors through which an Electric Current is passing, and on Surface Emissivity." In carrying out the experiments described in that communication, it became evident that the method then adopted would lend itself readily to the determination in absolute measure of the loss of heat, under various circumstances, from the surface of electrically conducting wires; from metallic wires, for example, and from carbon filaments, such as those used in incandescent electric lamps. Accordingly, at the conclusion of the paper just referred to, the results were given of some preliminary experiments on radiation from metallic wires in high vacuums; and I desire in the present communication to give an account of a more extended investigation in the same direction. Although loss of heat by radiation and convection has been studied by various experimenters, few determinations in absolute measure of the loss under definite circumstances have been made; and, with the exception of those of Schleiermacher, to be mentioned immediately, no determinations, so far as I am aware, have been made through any considerable range of temperatures, or with a difference of temperatures between cooling body and surroundings of considerably more than 100°C.

Fit Index

We present a dimensionless fit index for phylogenetic trees that have been constructed from distance matrices. It is designed to measure the quality of the fit of the data to a tree in absolute terms, independent of linear transformations on the distance matrix. The index can be used as an absolute measure to evaluate how well a set of data fits to a tree, or as a relative measure to compare different methods that are expected to produce the same tree. The usefulness of the index is demonstrated in three examples.
