A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance
Leon Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance has been widely recognized for its important and influential concepts in areas of motivation and social psychology. The theory of...
Soft self-consistent pseudopotentials in a generalized eigenvalue formalism
A new approach to the construction of first-principles pseudopotentials is described. The method allows transferability to be improved systematically while holding the cutoff ra...
<i>Ab initio</i>molecular-dynamics simulation of the liquid-metal–amorphous-semiconductor transition in germanium
We present ab initio quantum-mechanical molecular-dynamics simulations of the liquid-metal--amorphous-semiconductor transition in Ge. Our simulations are based on (a) finite-tem...
Atoms, molecules, solids, and surfaces: Applications of the generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation
Generalized gradient approximations (GGA’s) seek to improve upon the accuracy of the local-spin-density (LSD) approximation in electronic-structure calculations. Perdew and Wang...
Comparing the Areas under Two or More Correlated Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves: A Nonparametric Approach
Methods of evaluating and comparing the performance of diagnostic tests are of increasing importance as new tests are developed and marketed. When a test is based on an observed...
Cancer statistics, 2020
Abstract Each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths that will occur in the United States and compiles the most recent data on po...

Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste*
The basic opposition between the tastes of luxury and the tastes of necessity is specified in as many oppositions as there are different ways of asserting one's distinction vis-...
