Abstract That two distinct kinds of substances—the d'Hérelle substances and the genes—should both possess this most remarkable property of heritable variation or “mutability,” each working by a totally different mechanism, is quite conceivable, considering the complexity of protoplasm, yet it would seem a curious coincidence indeed. It would open up the possibility of two totally different kinds of life, working by different mechanisms. On the other hand, if these d'Hérelle bodies were really genes, fundamentally like our chromosome genes, they would give us an utterly new angle from which to attack the gene problem. They are filterable, to some extent isolable, can be handled in test-tubes, and their properties, as shown by their effects on the bacteria, can then be studied after treatment. It would be very rash to call these bodies genes, and yet at present we must confess that there is no distinction known between the genes and them. Hence we cannot categorically deny that perhaps we may be able to grind genes in a mortar and cook them in a beaker after all. Must we geneticists become bacteriologists, physiological chemists, and physicists, simultaneously with being zoologists and botanists? Let us hope so. H. J. Muller (1922, pp. 48–49)

Abstract Fixed points of the (most) refined best reply correspondence, introduced in Balkenborg et al. (2013), in the agent normal form of extensive form games with perfect recall have a remarkable property. They induce fixed points of the same correspondence in the agent normal form of every subgame. Furthermore, in a well-defined sense, fixed points of this correspondence refine even trembling hand perfect equilibria, while, on the other hand, reasonable equilibria that are not weak perfect Bayesian equilibria are fixed points of this correspondence.

Dongeng karya Grimm bersaudara telah banyak diadaptasi ke dalam media film, salah satunya adalah “Snow White”. Penelitian ini membahas distorsi yang muncul dalam dua film adaptasi “Snow White”, yaitu “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” (1937) produksi Disney dan “Snow White and the Huntsman” (2012) produksi Universal Pictures. Dengan metode penelitian kualitatif berupa analisis deskriptif, ditemukan bahwa setiap adaptasi tersebut melakukan perombakan besar terhadap isi cerita yang menyebabkan perbedaan dengan sumber aslinya, yakni karya Grimm bersaudara. Film “Snow White” yang diproduksi  oleh Disney mengalami proses adaptasi cerita, yakni dengan mengubah cerita yang pantas dan mudah diterima anak-anak. Adapun film produksi Universal Pictures menghasilkan suatu karya adaptasi yang berbeda, yaitu dengan adanya pengurangan atau penambahan dari cerita aslinya. Perubahan cerita tersebut ditujukan untuk menarik minat penonton. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa salah satu alasan perubahan yang dilakukan pada dua film adapatasi tersebut disebabkan oleh target penonton yang berbeda.Abstract:Grimm Brothers’ tales have been adapted into films. One of them is the story of Snow White. This study is to examine the distortion appearing in two Snow White film adaptations, namely: “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” (1937) by Disney as well as  “Snow White and the Hunts- man” (2012) by Universal Pictures. By applying qualitative method, it is found that each film adaptation makes a lot of changes in its plot from its original version in the Grimm Brothers’. “Snow White” produced by Disney was changed into children story that was simpler and easier to understand. The one produced by Universal Picture, on the other hand, was made into different story by reducing  or adding its original story. The change of the story is aimed at gaining more viewers. The result of the research reveals that one of changes in the two film adaptations is due to their different viewers target.

Underlying Mechanisms

The generation of illusory contours is closely related to distinct parts of a pattern such as dots, line ends, and corner points. On the other hand, the remarkable property is that gaze at one point of the contours diminishes the illusion and a return of gaze to the whole pattern restores it. Therefore, illusory contours depend on local parts and the whole pattern formed by the parts, and fitting data on the two aspects is necessary to clarify underlying mechanisms. We have obtained such data from the experiments performed to elucidate other visual phenomena. On the basis of the data, the concepts of strength of pattern, strength of its spread effect, ridgelines of the spread effect, and a hollow of the spread effect are introduced and then various phenomena on illusory contours, including the Kanizsa triangle, are explained in terms of these concepts.

Sudden Rise

AbstractWe have developed a model for theH2OandOHevolution in a comet outburst, assuming that together with the gas, a distribution of icy grains is ejected. With an initial mass of icy grains of 108kg released, theH2OandOHproductions are increased up to a factor two, and the growth curves change drastically in the first two days. The model is applied to eruptions detected in theOHradio monitorings and fits well with the slow variations in the flux. On the other hand, several events of short duration appear, consisting of a sudden rise ofOHflux, followed by a sudden decay on the second day. These apparent short bursts are frequently found as precursors of a more durable eruption. We suggest that both of them are part of a unique eruption, and that the sudden decay is due to collisions that de-excite theOHmaser, when it reaches the Cometopause region located at 1.35 × 105kmfrom the nucleus.

Transmission Microscope

We have become accustomed to differentiating between the scanning microscope and the conventional transmission microscope according to the resolving power which the two instruments offer. The conventional microscope is capable of a point resolution of a few angstroms and line resolutions of periodic objects of about 1Å. On the other hand, the scanning microscope, in its normal form, is not ordinarily capable of a point resolution better than 100Å. Upon examining reasons for the 100Å limitation, it becomes clear that this is based more on tradition than reason, and in particular, it is a condition imposed upon the microscope by adherence to thermal sources of electrons.

Life beyond 1MeV – like life after 40 – is not too different unless one takes advantage of past experience and is receptive to new opportunities. At first glance, the returns on performing electron microscopy at voltages greater than 1MeV diminish rather rapidly as the curves which describe the well-known advantages of HVEM often tend towards saturation. However, in a country with a significant HVEM capability, a good case can be made for investing in instruments with a range of maximum accelerating voltages. In this regard, the 1.5MeV KRATOS HVEM being installed in Berkeley will complement the other 650KeV, 1MeV, and 1.2MeV instruments currently operating in the U.S. One other consideration suggests that 1.5MeV is an optimum voltage machine – Its additional advantages may be purchased for not much more than a 1MeV instrument. On the other hand, the 3MeV HVEM's which seem to be operated at 2MeV maximum, are much more expensive.

Summary: My comment is basically restricted to the situation in which less-able students find themselves and refers only to literature in German. From this point of view I am basically able to confirm Marsh's results. It must, however, be said that with less-able pupils the opposite effect can be found: Levels of self-esteem in these pupils are raised, at least temporarily, by separate instruction, academic performance however drops; combined instruction, on the other hand, leads to improved academic performance, while levels of self-esteem drop. Apparently, the positive self-image of less-able pupils who receive separate instruction does not bring about the potential enhancement of academic performance one might expect from high-ability pupils receiving separate instruction. To resolve the dilemma, it is proposed that individual progress in learning be accentuated, and that comparisons with others be dispensed with. This fosters a self-image that can in equal measure be realistic and optimistic.

Implicit And Explicit

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.

Group Memberships

Abstract. Not all group memberships are self-chosen. The current research examines whether assignments to non-preferred groups influence our relationship with the group and our preference for information about the ingroup. It was expected and found that, when people are assigned to non-preferred groups, they perceive the group as different to the self, experience negative emotions about the assignment and in turn disidentify with the group. On the other hand, when people are assigned to preferred groups, they perceive the group as similar to the self, experience positive emotions about the assignment and in turn identify with the group. Finally, disidentification increases a preference for negative information about the ingroup.
