The Highly Productive Thermothelomyces heterothallica C1 Expression System as a Host for Rapid Development of Influenza Vaccines
(1) Influenza viruses constantly change and evade prior immune responses, forcing seasonal re-vaccinations with updated vaccines. Current FDA-approved vaccine manufacturing technologies are too slow and/or expensive to quickly adapt to mid-season changes in the virus or to the emergence of pandemic strains. Therefore, cost-effective vaccine technologies that can quickly adapt to newly emerged strains are desirable. (2) The filamentous fungal host…

Why the effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences is not surprising
The source of human applications of mathematics to natural phenomena is very likely to be found in the perceptual processes necessary for most animals to survive, either as prey, predator, or forager. Much of the resources of the brain are used to transform the patterns of energy that impinge on sensory nerve endings into representations more or less isomorphic to the structure of some portion of the world. It is one of the intellectual triumphs …

Editor's note: This is the fifth in a series of mini-feature articles by former presidents of the American Educational Research Association about the future of the association and educational research in general. These commentaries and the other brief articles in this series were gathered and submitted by Jane Stallings, a former association president. They were originally presented in two symposia Dr. Stallings organized for the 1996 AERA Annual…
Language and Learning for Robots
From the Publisher: Robot technology will find wide-scale use only when a robotic device can be given commands and taught new tasks in a natural language. This text pursues a theoretical approach to language and learning in developing the notion of an instructable robot that derives intelligence from human interaction

Estimating Total-Test Scores From Partial Scores in a Matrix Sampling Design
In establishing national test norms, sampling both examinees and items serves to reduce the amount of testing time required. It is often desired to obtain a total-test score for an individual who was administered only a subset of the total test. The present study compared six methods, two of which utilize the content structure of items, to estimate total-test scores using 450 students and 60 items of the 110-item Stanford Mental Arithmetic Test. …

Outlines of a Formal Theory of Value, I
Contemporary philosophers interested in value theory appear to be largely concerned with questions of the following sort: What is value? What is the meaning of the word ‘good’? Does the attribution of value to an object have a cognitive, or merely an emotive, significance? The first question is metaphysical; to ask it is analogous to asking in physics: What is matter? What is electricity? The others are generally treated as semantical questions; …
The Place of Theory in Educational Research
n every modern society, the education' of its citizens, young and old, is a major concern. In some developing countries, the educational activities of the government consume as much as a third of the national budget. In the · United States today, it is estimated that educational activities require at least a hundred billion dollars a year. Most educational aCtivities in this country and elsewhere are like otber forms of social and economic activi…
The semantics of children's language
Interest in language, especially that of children, has become a central concern of contemporary psychology- This interest is somewhat surprising, because everyone recognizes the enormous complexity of language use and language development >in the child. . In spite of a widespread recognition that there is little hope of having a complete theory of these matters at any time in the near future, a general air of activity and in some cases of optimis…

The Probabilistic Argument for a Non-Classical Logic of Quantum Mechanics
The aim of this paper is to state the single most powerful argument for use of a non-classical logic in quantum mechanics. In outline the argument is the following. The working logic of a science is the logic of the events and propositions to which probabilities are assigned. A probability should be assigned to every element of the algebra of events. In the case of quantum mechanics probabilities may be assigned to events but not, without restric…
Probability Concepts in Quantum Mechanics
The fundamental problem considered is that of the existence of a joint probability distribution for momentum and position at a given instant. The philosophical interest of this problem is that for the potential energy functions (or Hamiltonians) corresponding to many simple experimental situations, the joint “distribution” derived by the methods of Wigner and Moyal is not a genuine probability distribution at all. The implications of these result…

Some Remarks on Problems and Methods in the Philosophy of Science
What sort of subject is the philosophy of science? It would be difficult to find any sort of agreement on the answer to this question. There are a large number of physicists who have promoted the idea that the subject is a kind of cosmic journalism: any new major discoveries in physics warrant an up-to-the-minute, catch-as-catch-can analysis of the boundaries of scientific knowledge. On the other hand, the Oxonian sirens of ordinary language tell…

Modern Learning Theory and The Elementary-School Curriculum
What I want to do this evening is to sketch for you some of the implications of recent research in learning theory for the elementary-school curriculum and to indicate how I think these implications can best be realized by appropriate application of modern computer technology. I shall say a number of things about computers, but I want to emphasize at the very beginning that I do not intend to let the fascinating problems of computer technology di…

Test of Some Learning Models for Double Contingent Reinforcement
By 'double contingent reinforcement' we mean a reinforcement schedule in which the probability of a reinforcement on a given trial depends on the responses made on that trial and the preceding trial. From a theoretical standpoint such a schedule is of interest for several reasons. It is one of the simplest for which rhere do not exisr simple recursions in the mean probability of response for the linear models of Bush and Mosteller (1955) or Estes…
Axiomatic Set Theory
This clear and well-developed approach to axiomatic set theory is geared toward upper-level undergraduates and graduate students. It examines the basic paradoxes and history of set theory and advanced topics such as relations and functions, equipollence, finite sets and cardinal numbers, rational and real numbers, and other subjects. 1960 edition
