221. lappuse - The capacity of the human mind for formulating and solving complex problems is very small compared with the size of the problems whose solution is required for objectively rational behavior in the real world— or even for a reasonable approximation to such objective rationality.
25. lappuse - The second is the duration of 9, 192, 631, 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium- 133 atom (13th CGPM, 1967).
222. lappuse - To predict his behavior, we must understand the way in which this simplified model is constructed, and its construction will certainly be related to his psychological properties as a perceiving, thinking, and learning animal.

2. lappuse - Rotation of the Earth," co-authored with Walter Munk. In addition, he is the author of over 100 articles on scientific subjects. Dr. MacDonald is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and thirteen professional and scientific societies.
324. lappuse - He was a fellow of the Geological Society of America and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science...
374. lappuse - The greatest attention should be devoted to the question of whether there is a connection between the Earth's weather and the fluctuations in solar activity. The presence of such a connection would be almost a tragedy for meteorology, since it would evidently mean that it would first be necessary to predict the solar activity in order to predict the weather; this would greatly postpone the development of scientific methods of weather prediction.
236. lappuse - He is subject to all these human frailties which lower the reliability of his judgments below unity. And, if the judge's reliability is less than unity, there must be error in his judgments — error which can serve no other purpose than to attenuate his accuracy.
223. lappuse - ... appropriate place. His writing is rather dull and mechanical, occasionally enlivened by somewhat corny puns and by flashes of imagination of the sci-fi type. He has a strong drive for competence. He seems to have little feel and...
216. lappuse - In the first place, the interactions between man and modern computers may, in a manner of speaking, be thought of as conversations. They are characterized by commands, statements, questions, answers to questions, and sundry other messages that go from man to computer and vice versa.
