“…This indicates that the nematic phase obtained following the fast transition from the isotropic phase does not immediately reach its maximum, stable degree of order. The total Hv scattered intensity of PSHQ has been studied by Goldman,13 who observed that the scattered intensity increases significantly during the early annealing times, followed by a slower increase that continues for several hours. These observations are the result of the combined effect of the time dependence of the local order parameter and the coarsening process.…”

The effect of thermal history on the morphology and thermal behavior of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polyester based on alternating mesogenic and flexible units is studied by small-angle light scattering, optical microscopy, and thermal analysis. The average domain size corresponding to the nematic texture obtained following the transition from the isotropic to the nematic phase is found to be independent of the undercooling conditions. This is interpreted in terms of a proposed model for the formation of disclinations during the formation of the nematic phase. A kinetic study of the coarsening of the texture induced by isothermal aging in the nematic phase is presented. Thermal analysis results show that annealing can lead to an increase of up to 10 °C in the nematic to isotropic transition.

“…Clinicians frequently use simple ordinal scales to assess psychological reactions, often tests invented for the specific project at hand. Goldman (1977) compiled a directory of 339 commercially unpublished mental measures gleaned from articles in the 1970 editions of 29 professional journals of psychology, education, and sociology. He stated that less than 25% of them reported reliability or validity data and less than 60% reported the test format or num-ber of items.…”

Recent developments in psychophysics termed statistical decision theory (or signal detection theory; SDT) and magnitude estimation (ME) are being applied to an increasing variety of previously recalcitrant problems in clinical psychology and medical decision making. One major value of the SDT method lies in the separation of human decision making into a discrimination accuracy measure and a criterion or bias measure. This characteristic is helpful in analyzing confusing situations such as pain assessment, where any number of impressive procedures or manipulations can and do affect the person's willingness to report pain but leave unaffected the detectability of pain-producing stimuli. ME methods as applied to personality research do not limit an individual's assessment of his or her personal reactions (e.g., degree of anxiety or intoxication) to a narrow range of categories devised by the experimenter but allow each person to construct as sensitive and unique a scale as is required. These methods also show superior agreement with psychophysiological measures of such factors. ME and SDT represent a significant advance over current chaotic and unreliable practices in terms of their greater objectivity and precision, parsimonious use of a single language for the laboratory and the clinic, and potential for the quantification of subtle covert psychological behaviors. This review describes applications of SDT and ME to the assessment and understanding of pain, anxiety, psychoactive drugs, and medical decision making.Although scientific progress has been slow technological advance quite rare in psycholin clinical psychology, it has not been for ogy: the discovery and elaboration of general lack of important problems to study.
