All this makes things exciting but rather difficult for undergraduate students and their teachers, because a complete course in psychology now requires an understanding of the concepts of signal detection theory, and many undergraduates have done no mathematics at university level. The authoritative work on the subject, Green's & Swets' Signal Detection Theory and Psycho physics (New York: Wiley) appeared in 1966, and is having a profound influence on method and theory in psychology. ![]() There is hardly a field in psychology in which the effects of signal detection theory have not been felt. Moore, FmedSci, FRS Department of Experimental Psychology University of Cambridge It is suitable for use as a student text book, but will also be useful for teachers and researchers in psychology who need to acquire a working understanding of SDT. I can strongly recommend the book as an introduc tion to SDT and its applications. It is with relief and pleasure that I now write this foreword to a new printing of the book. My two personal copies of the book both "went missing," and all copies in our library also mysteriously disappeared. I used this book with success as my recommended text for several This was the only text book I could find that covered SDT at an introductory level, and that assumed only limited skills in algebra and statistics. McNicol, published by George Allen and Unwin in 1972. When I first had to teach SDT to undergraduates in psychology, I was delighted to come across A Primer of Signal Detection Theory by D. In their preface, Macmillan and Creelman state "It could be the basic text in a one-semester graduate or upper level undergraduate course." However some undergraduates may find it too detailed if they simply want to get a basic understanding of SDT. The Macmillan and Creelman book still assumes a good deal of mathematical and statistical sophistication, but it makes more use of visual analogies, and is intended especially as a practical guide to those actively involved in areas of research that depend on a good understanding and appreciation of SDT. The second edition of this book has just been published by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. A more recent and more user-friendly text is Detection Theory: A User's Guide by N. However, for many readers, the descrip tions and derivations will be beyond their grasp. This re mains a very useful source for advanced researchers and those with mathematical sophistication. Swets, originally published by Wiley in 1966 and reprinted with corrections by Kreiger in 1974. The classic work on SDT is Signal Detection Theory and Psycho physics by D. A basic understand ing of SDT has become essential for anyone with a serious interest in experimental psychology. SDT has been called by many a rev olution and I do not think that is an exaggeration. For example, concepts derived from SDT are widely used in memory research and in studies of the processing of verbal information. ![]() Although its ini tial applications were in the interpretation of sensory processes, its do main has since widened considerably. Signal Detection Theory (SDT) has had, and continues to have, an enormous impact on many branches of psychology.

9/28/2023 0 Comments Congress of vienna italy 1830This first “coup d’état” (an attempt to take power by force) was very quickly thwarted King Louis-Philippe then sent Louis-Napoleon into exile in the United States. On 30 October 1836, he began to stir up opposition to the regime with a first march on Paris from the city of Strasbourg. When the frail young man, heir to the Imperial throne, died on 22 July 1832, his cousin Louis-Napoleon became the guardian of the Empire’s legacy.įrom this moment, Louis-Napoleon, still in exile, tried to gather the Bonapartists around him. However, the Allies, who had conquered Napoleon at Waterloo, forcing his abdication, refused to place his son on the throne: Louis XVIII restored the Bourbon monarchy while the Emperor’s son remained at the court of Vienna, where he was known simply as the “Duke of Reichstadt”. Louis-Napoleon’s cousin became for a short moment “Napoleon II” when Napoleon I abdicated in his favoir in 1814. Ducis, Napoleon I after lunch, surrounded by the young princes and princesses of his family, on the terrace of Château de Saint-Cloud in 1810 (detail), Versailles, Châteaux de Versailles et de Trianon © RMN Louis-Napoleon grew up with a strong sense of respect for his family history and origins and quickly became interested in politics, seeking to restore the Bonaparte dynasty to power. Following the fall of the First Empire in 1815, Hortense moved to Arenenberg in Switzerland. At this time, Napoleon was still without an heir and so intended to take Louis-Napoleon as the successor to the Imperial throne. ![]() His father, Louis Bonaparte, was the brother of Napoleon I and his mother, Hortense de Beauharnais, was Napoleon’s step-daughter by his first marriage to Josephine. ![]() Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte was born in Paris on 20 April 1808. Here you can read about Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte’s early years, his coming to power, and other events during the Second Empire. With the increasing industrialization of France came greater interest in the life of the “worker”, and Europe saw the birth of the nations of Italy and of Germany. Napoleon III’s reign was a period of great modernity and change in France and in Europe. 9/27/2023 0 Comments Liquid measuring cupIf you are new to startcooking, or are a regular visitor here, please consider subscribing for free. Food Measuring and Equivalents and Conversions (Charts).A pour spout would make these a lot easier to use. My kitchen shop also sold small shot glasses that had tablespoon and ounce measurements as well. It was OK, but I prefer the ease of use of the traditional or OXO brand. With small tablespoon measuring “cups” like the one shown below, there is one less dish to wash!Īt my kitchen shop, I also discovered a drinking glass that has measurement lines on it. If you are using a set of measuring spoons, you then need a small cup to put the ingredients into. Pre-measuring small amount of liquids like soy sauce and oil, in advance of cooking, makes the stir-fry process go along much more smoothly. I find the Tablespoon measuring cup to be particularly efficient when I am preparing ingredients for things like Stir Fries. Its slanted front and big chunky handle look odd but make it quite easy to use. The OXO measuring cup has a strange shape. The small cupon the left measures Tablespoons and ounces. The big cup shown on the right above measures ounces and 1/4, 1/3, ½, 2/3, ¾, and 1 cup. OXO has designed special measuring cups (shown in the picture below) that do allow you to determine the proper measurement by looking down into the measuring cup. If you were making soups or stews that wouldn’t be a very big deal, but when making rice or salad dressing or doing any baking, like chocolate cake, you have to be very precise with your measurements. If you try to look down to the inside to judge the measurement with this style of cup, you will end up with more liquid than you should have. Instead, leave the cup on a flat surface and bend down so your eye is level with the cup. Don’t hold the cup in your hand and try to raise it to eye level - I guarantee it will be imprecise. This type of measuring cup is designed for you to look on the outside of the cup to determine the proper measurement. The pour spout and the added space make it easier to pick up the cup and pour without spilling any of the liquid. ![]() Be sure to factor in longevity you might pay less now for a certain model, but if it warps in the dishwasher or the markings rub off easily, you’ll have to buy another, nulling the initial savings.The classic way to measure liquids is with a measuring cup that has a “pour spout” as well as space above the measuring lines. If budget is a factor, add that to your list of criteria. ![]()

Such experimental and innovative designs are for you to consider if you are a non-conformist. How different will it look from the conventional perception of a flat mount TV stand! Imagine your TV mounted on a modified camera tripod and standing in a corner of your room. Mounted TV stands are rebels in their conceptualization, products of out-of-box thinking. Mounted on a tripod, stand, or pedestal, these stands can fit snugly anywhere in the living area, including a corner. Maybe even a music system on its lower shelf. These flat panel mount TV stands are compact structures adhering to their basic function of housing the TV and a few décor items.

9/27/2023 0 Comments Best travel journal app 2022![]() What I liked the most is, the app has an intuitive interface that lets you organize everything, thanks to its support for folders and tags. Moreover, you can also customize the journal cover, perform smart searches, and enjoy a lot more features in its Pro/Pro+ subscription for $19.99 or $49.99 a year.ĭiaro is a multi-purpose and multi-platform service which works offline as well, like Bonjournal and Penzu. However, you can’t share or publish them, unlike above apps. You can add photos in travel logs along with text and categorize them with tags. Moreover, you can sync your journals across the web and mobile platforms - for free. I love its reminders that request you to write - online as well as offline. And lastly, you can share your diary with others as well.Īlthough Penzu is not built specifically for travelers, like Evernote it is a popular journal app that offers unlimited yet intuitive journaling experience. I suggest creating a notebook for writing your travel journals, and if it becomes complex, then create a notebook per journey. What it uniquely offers is, you can create travel plans (and to-do lists) and assign tasks along with writing your journals. If that’s not enough, you can share photos on social media and do more, thanks to IFTTT. How’s it better than the rest of the apps? It supports multiple platforms and cross-syncs between them. If you already use Evernote to jot down notes or to-do lists, then you can stick to it for logging your trips as well. Its Throwback feature lets you view your timeline and revisit the places on an intuitive map. It can also sync across multiple platforms and share your journal entries on social media. You can import diaries from other apps and export to DOCX and PDF, allowing you to share and safe-keep them.

You can create a day-by-day narrative with your photos, the date and location, title, and some chosen words. ![]() ![]() If you love journaling with a minimalistic approach, you will like the intuitive diary-style journaling of Bonjournal. ![]() Last but not least, Tripcast creates a trip map based on the geo-tagged photos, so you can browse them by location, just like other apps on this list. Moreover, you can also build a photo album like Polarsteps or Journi Blog however, what is unique here? You can create a collective photo album as well. Interestingly, it works like a group journal - all the members can add photos and videos to one place. It captures your trip and lets you share an update with family and friends in real time. Tripcast is another diary app, which - I find - is most useful when you are traveling in a group. Last but not least, you can also turn your blog into a unique photo book for starting price of €22.99. However, these two features require a premium subscription. Also, like Polarsteps, you can track your travels offline. If you use several devices, you can sync your journal to Dropbox or Google Drive. What’s best? You can allow others to track your trips, thanks to its sharing options. It lets you blog about your vacations, create photo albums, and geolocate your photos. Journi Blog is an intuitive story-telling app that captures and categorizes your best moments and stories of your travel life on a catchy timeline. Last but not least, you can also create a paper-printed travel book through Polarsteps for just €30 to €80. Also, the app can create a travel log of your trip using the location-tagged photos. What’s more interesting is that you can track your journey in the offline mode, letting you to trek and track remote places. Moreover, you can share the trip on social media and via email. Also, you can add a story and calculate statistics including countries visited, distance traveled, etc. What I liked most is, it tracks your trip and shows it on a colorful map. I have used a few travel apps, but none as easy and intuitive as Polarsteps. Google released Google Trips, an app that wants you to "see more, plan less".
