In part five (of seven), Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) authors Ben-Porath and Tellegen discuss the rationale for developing the test, which was to represent the clinically significant substance of the MMPI-2 item pool with a comprehensive set of psychometrically up-to-date measures. They also discuss key features of the test...
In part four (of seven), Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) authors Ben-Porath and Tellegen discuss the restructuring of the original Clinical Scales by Dr. Tellegen. Dr. Ben-Porath joined Dr. Tellegen in finalizing the RC Scales, which were published in a monograph in 2003; The RC Scales are the core of the MMPI-2-RF, which was ...
In part three (of seven), Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) authors Ben-Porath and Tellegen discuss the restandardization of the original MMPI that resulted in publication of the MMPI-2 in 1989. Members of the Restandardization Committee were: James N. Butcher, W. Grant Dahlstrom, John R. Graham, and Auke Tellegen.
In part two (of seven), Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) authors Ben-Porath and Tellegen discuss original MMPI author Starke Hathaway's work with the test over the years and his hopes for modernizing it, as well as his pioneering vision and many talents in psychology and cognitive behavioral therapy.
In part one (of seven), Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) authors Ben-Porath and Tellegen introduce the video conversation by discussing their experience with the test -- for Dr. Tellegen approximately 60 years and for Dr. Ben-Porath, 30 years -- focusing on their work to modernize the test and commenting on the future of the te...
Love versus Duty: A Conversation about Mark Morris's 'Dido and Aeneas'. Queen Dido of Carthage is forsaken by her love, the Trojan Prince Aeneas, when he is reminded of his duty to establish a new city in Italy. From its origins in Greco-Roman myth, through Virgil's epic poem, to Henry Purcell's opera, the story of Dido and Aeneas, with its them...
Control systems theory has laid out a powerful framework for modularly analyzing and designing the dynamics of interconnected input/output dynamical systems, wherein an interconnection is traditionally viewed as a one-way interaction. Whether biomolecular networks can be modularly analyzed and designed is one of the most vexing questions in syst...

We develop a continuum theory for thermoelectric bodies following the framework of continuum mechanics and conforming to general principles of thermodynamics. For steady states, the governing equations for local fields are intrinsically nonlinear. However, under conditions of small variations of electrochemical potential, temperature and their g...

Joint work with Ida Moltke, Martin Thiim and Thomas Hamelryck (The Bioinformatics Center, University of Copenhagen)So far, the most common approach to modeling local RNA 3-D structure has been to describe the local conformational space as discrete in a non-probabilistic framework. We present an original approach to modeling local RNA 3-D structu...

Recent progress has shown that the abstract space of persistence diagrams is Polish, and found necessary and sufficient conditions for a set to be compact. This also allowed for the definition of Frechet means, a construction which is possible for any metric space. Since the Frechet mean is a set, not an element, there were no guarantees that th...

This collection contains a case studies and comparisons of methods of Caesarean section in which Dr. Harris recorded the success and failure of methods commonly used at the time both in the United States and in Europe. It also contains correspondence with Max Saenger, a noted German gynecologist and considered the ""Father of the Modern Caesarea...

This talk will discuss a substantial interplay of algebraic topology with numerical analysis which has developed over the last decade. During this period, de Rham cohomology and the Hodge theory of Riemannian manifolds have come to play a crucial role in the development and understanding of computational algorithms for the solution of problems i...

Kinetochores are nano-structures that mechanically couple chromosomesto dynamic microtubules to generate the forces necessary for properchromosome segregation during mitosis. Recent studies reveal newdetails of the kinetochore's molecular composition and structure,demonstrating the mechanically compliant nature of the kinetochorelinkage to the m...

A prominent concern, in the age of machine learning and data analysis, is that left to their own devices, algorithms will propagate - even amplify - existing biases. Common definitions of fairness are group-based, typically requiring that a given statistic be equal across a few demographic groups, socially identified as deserving protection. Suc...
