Awards for distinguished professional contributions: Robert B. McCall.

Presents the citation, biography, and selected bibliography for Robert B. McCall, one of the 1994 recipients of the American Psychological Association's Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions--Distinguished Professional Contributions to Public Service. From McCall's citation: "Building on a prolific research career in child development, Robert B. McCall communicated the scientific findings of his colleagues to the public through the mass media, winning four national awards and demonstrating to a sometimes skeptical profession that such articles and TV programs could be both accurate and interesting. Subsequently, he became the inaugural director for the University of Pittsburgh Office of Child Development, a unique interdisciplinary, university-community facilitative unit that has broadened the definition of university public service to embrace partnerships among faculty and community service professionals, funders, and policymakers that have created innovative interdisciplinary training and research programs, human service demonstration and evaluation projects, and policy studies."

Martha J. Farah.

Recognizes Martha J. Farah for rigorous empirical and theoretical analysis of visual cognition, in which understanding of normal function and analysis of neurological deficits illuminate and strengthen one another. Applying diverse experimental techniques within an integrated approach to the study of mind and brain, she has sharpened and helped to answer fundamental questions about how humans generate and manipulate visual images, recognize objects, and attend to positions in space. Along with a citation, a biography is presented for Farah, as well as a bibliography of her works. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

La réputation sociale de l'enfant en milieu scolaire.

Studied the social reputations of elementary school children. Ss were 76 2nd-grade (mean age 7.5 yrs), 71 3rd-grade (mean age 8.5 yrs), and 83 4th-grade students (mean age 9.7 yrs). Using the peer nomination technique, Ss were assessed collectively on 8 dimensions requiring both social and academic judgments. A cluster analysis was performed to identify groups with different sociometric profiles. Correlations between peer evaluations and teacher evaluations of Ss' social reputations were determined.

Awards for distinguished professional contributions.

Recognizing the diversity of roles and activities in which many professional psychologists are engaged, beginning in 1979, Professional Awards have been presented to individual members of the American Psychological Association whose distinguished contributions have served to advance psychology as a profession in the areas of knowledge, professional practice, and public service. In 1991, recipients were as follows: for "Distinguished Professional Contributions to Knowledge," Joseph Matarazzo and Grant Dahlstrom; for "Distinguished Professional Contributions to Applied Psychology as a Professional Practice," Stanley Graham; and for "Distinguished Professional Contributions to Public Service," José Szapocznik and Oliva Espin. For each winner a citation, biography, and selected bibliography of their works are presented. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Distinguished Scientific Awards for an Early Career Contribution to Psychology.

The Early Career Awards recognize the large number of excellent young psychologists. Recipients of this award may not have held a PhD for more than nine years. The areas considered in 1991 were animal learning and behavior, developmental, and personality. The winners for 1991 were Kent C. Berridge, Susan A. Gelman, and Randy J. Larsen. For each winner a citation, biography, and selected bibliography of their works are presented. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

Dielectric barrier discharge treatments at atmospheric pressure for wood surface modification

In this research, the effect of dielectric barrier discharge on mechanically manufactured (sawn, planed or polished) wood surfaces is investigated. The experiments have shown that the best hydrophilia is obtained with a cold plasma discharge in air under atmospheric pressure. Other gases such as helium, nitrogen, and argon have been tested, too. Changes of the wood surface properties were determined by absorption of water and contact angle measurements. As a result of a 1 to 20 seconds long exposure to plasma, wood surfaces became hydrophilic. The absorption of water in wood can be changed up to 22 times higher after plasma treatment in air for 20 seconds duration. The fracture strength of glued wood has been increased by 68% after this plasma pretreatment. Using plasma treatment in methane or acetylene wood surfaces are changed to hydrophobic properties. After plasma treatment for 1 min. in a Ar:CH₄=80:20 gas mixture under atmospheric pressure, the absorption of water in wood is 32 times lower than without plasma treatment. As mentioned before, plasma treatment can produce hydrophobic and hydrophilic wood surfaces. But a good homogeneity of the gas discharge is necessary for the plasma treatment of wood. Zusammenfassung Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden die Auswirkungen der dielektrisch behinderten Entladung bei Atmosphärendruck auf mechanisch bearbeitete Holzoberflächen (gesägt, gehobelt oder geschliffen) untersucht. Die Experimente haben gezeigt, dass die höchste Hydrophilität bei einem in Luftatmosphäre gezündetem Plasma erreicht wird. Es werden auch andere Gase verwendet, wie z.B. Helium, Stickstoff und Argon. Zur Untersuchung der veränderten mechanischen und energetischen Eigenschaften der Holzoberflächen werden der Tropfen-Versuch und die Kontaktwinkelmessung verwendet. Durch eine 1 bis 20 Sekunden lange Plasmabehandlung können die Oberflächen hydrophil gestaltet werden. So kann die Eindringzeit von Wasser um Faktor 22 gesteigert werden durch eine 20 Sekunden lange Plasmabehandlung in Umgebungsluft. Die Bruchfestigkeit von Leimholz wird durch die gleiche Plasmavorbehandlung um 68% gesteigert. Werden als Plasmabehandlungsgas Methan oder Acetylen eingesetzt, so wird die Holzoberfläche hydrophob. Durch eine 60 Sekunden lange Plasmabehandlung in einem Ar:CH₄=80:20 Gasgemisch bei Atmosphärendruck wird die Eindringszeit von Wasser um den Faktor 32 gesenkt. Mit Hilfe der Plasmabehandlung können also sowohl hydrophobe als auch hydrophile Holzoberflächen erzeugt werden. Jedoch wird für die Plasmabehandlung von Holz eine sehr homogene Gasentladung benötigt.
