Like other major theatre artists at the turn of the twentieth century, André Antoine sought a new theatrical style to replace the dominant strain of realism. His development of naturalism and his championing of the cause of the school of Becque, Brieux, and Jullien are commonplaces of theatre history, but Antoine's efforts to extend his style, chiefly by applying it to a repertory of classical plays, have not received a great deal of attention. While it is easier to consign Antoine to a naturalistic pigeon hole, a consideration of the innovative course of his later career might help illuminate our similarly eclectic era.

This meeting produces another evidence that present parallel computers are (a) real instruments of computational physics, (b) largely in the hands of still-pioneers, (c) efficiently promoted by basic research groups with large-scale computational needs. Progress in parallel computing is carried by two types of such groups, that either follow the build-it-yourself or the early-use strategies. In this contribution, we describe, as an example to the second approach, the Wuppertal university pilot project in applied parallel computing. We report in particular about one of our key applications in theoretical particle physics on the Connection Machine CM-2: a high statistics computer experiment to determine the static quark-antiquark potential from quenched quantum chromodynamics.

SUMMARYMeasurements made on soils from the Ley–Arable rotation experiments and some of the Classical experiments at Rothamsted and Woburn are described. Values of exchangeable K, equilibrium activity ratio, equilibrium K potential, and buffer capacity are given for each plot. Potassium quantity/intensity relationships measured for each plot showed that no differences in K exchange behaviour have arisen as a result of manuring or of ley or arable treatments. The only fundamental variation was in the quantity of K in the soils. Continuous ley plots, whether given N fertilizer or containing clover, contained much more K than plots carrying crop rotations. In the Classical experiment soils, quantity of K depended largely on manuring.Potassium uptakes by ryegrass grown on the soils from the various plots are discussed. Potassium uptake was well-related to quantity of K, better so than to the other K parameters. The release of non-exchangeable K to the crop was non-linearly related to the fall in exchangeable K in the soils from the Rothamsted Ley-Arable experiments.Drying and re-wetting the cropped soils released K in amounts inversely proportional to the amount of K in the moist cropped soil. This release of K was unrelated to the original exchangeable K contents of the soils.

The current paper features an attempt at a new interpretation of the affirmation phenomena introduced by D. N. Uznadze. The author considers the process of affirmation forming as the implementation of measurement actions. The idea is that measurement actions, in addition to their direct function, also structure the background perceptual space (which is believed to shape the cognitive medium of perception images). Distortions of the measurement procedure, in one way or another, correlate with different forms of structuring the background perceptual space and with its increasing role in emotional coloring. The article describes an experiment in which the objects were not only perceived and evaluated, but also influenced the accuracy of the perception of objects, since they "control" the forms of the structuring of the background space and give it an emotional coloring. The experiment was carried out according to a procedure similar to the classical experiment conducted by D. N. Uznadze. The experiment featured an illusion of affirmation formation through the multiple presentation of circles of different diameters. We used circles of the same size, but with different versions of images inside: an emotionally colored image ("smileys"), ordered emotional ("triangles"), disordered emotionless ("chaotic points"). As a result, the emotionally colored image inside the circles caused an increase in the number of errors in the comparison of the circles, and the ordered, non-emotional image increased the accuracy of perception.
