5. A Community Video Center for Memphis.

Author

Memphis and Shelby County Public Library and Information Center, TN. and Wallis, C. Lamar

Abstract

A proposal is made to use LSCA funds for the purpose of establishing a community video center in the Memphis and Shelby County Public Library and Information Center (MSCPLIC). The center would be designed to assist citizen groups of all kinds in presenting programs on the new cable TV system now being installed throughout the city of Memphis. Such a center would, also, serve the MSCPLIC in presenting library broadcasts, including reference questions requiring video, children's puppet shows and story house, lectures and discussion groups, etc. The uses and need for such a center are discussed and examples of similar centers elsewhere are given. A proposed operation and evaluation plan and a budget are presented. (Author/WH)

15. Confrontation in Memphis

Author

Wallis, C. Lamar

Abstract

An attack on Philip Roth's book Portnoy's Complaint in Memphis, Tennessee, raises the issue of its purchase by the public library and the matter of censorship in general. A letter written by Henry Mitchell, editor of the "Delta Review, to the librarian encouraging him to support the public's freedom to read is included. (RM)

21. RESPONSE INSTRUCTIONS AND THE SPEED OF RELATIVE JUDGEMENTS.

Author

WALLIS, C. P. and AUDLEY, R. J.

Abstract

Subjects were required to make easy pitch discriminations at four frequency levels. In a counterbalanced design, for half their judgements they were required to choose the higher of the pair of tones, and for the other half, the lower. It was found that subjects were quicker at choosing the higher than the lower of two high tones, but quicker at choosing the lower than the higher of two low tones. This 'cross-over' effect was found to be graded across the stimulus levels intermediate in the series, the intersection point being somewhat below the geometric mean of the series of frequencies used. While latencies tended to decrease during the course of an indiviual session, the cross-over effect was consistently observable in an analysis that controlled for such practice effects. Whether the tone responded to was the first or the second of the pair discriminated was found to be a significant variable. The 'cross-over' phenomenon was only consistently effective when the second tone was chosen. Linking these findings to similar phenomena previously demonstrated in brightness discrimination, theoretical suggestions are advanced which are relevant to all judgemental processes.

22. RESPONSE INSTRUCTIONS AND THE SPEED OF RELATIVE JUDGEMENTS.

Author

AUDLEY, R. J. and WALLIS, C. P.

Abstract

It is hypothesized that the speed with which a relative judgement is made between two stimuli on any given dimension depends upon the relation between the general position of the stimuli on the dimension and the direction of the required judgement along this. Experiments involving the discrimination of light patches of different luminance are reported which support this hypothesis. They show that subjects are quicker at choosing the brighter than the darker of two relatively intense stimuli but quicker at choosing the darker of two relatively dark stimuli. A provisional explanation of the phenomenon in terms of a response competition theory of choice behaviour is offered. Some alternative hypotheses are considered and analogies are made with other psychological phenomena. It is concluded that this is a judgemental phenomenon of some considerable generality.

25. Role of Brown Fat in Pathogenesis of Rabies in Insectivorous Bats (Tadarida b. mexicana)

Abstract

Summary1. Studies on the progression of peripherally inoculated rabies virus in Mexican free-tailed bats (Tadarida b. mexicana) suggest that the brown (hibernating) fat plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of rabies in this animal. 2. Brown fat may serve as a depot for the storage of virus in symptomless carriers of the rabies virus. 3. These studies provide another example of selective viral lipotropism.

Abstract

SummaryA virus recently isolated from the salivary glands of Mexican free-tailed bats (Tadarida mexicana) appears to be a new member of the JE-WN-SLE-MVE group of viruses. On the basis of the results of complement fixation tests it appears that the salivary gland virus of bats is more closely related to the West Nile virus than to other members of the group.

Abstract

SummaryThe following reciprocal effects have been observed in mice infected with viruses which do not possess the same degree of pathogenicity for the host. 1. The Ohio-R strain of C virus influenced significantly both the course and outcome of experimental Lansing poliomyelitis infections in 4-week-old white Swiss mice. 2. In the presence of the Lansing infection the virulence of the Ohio-R virus seemed to be enhanced for these otherwise insusceptible animals. 3. The Nancy strain of C virus had a noticeable effect on the pathogenesis of the Lansing infection in 4-week-old mice. The frequency with which the forelimbs became paralyzed first as compared with the first appearance of hindlimb paralysis was influenced by the presence of Nancy virus in the higher levels of the CNS. The presence of Nancy virus in the lumbar region of the spinal cord, following intraspinal inoculation, seemed to limit extension of the Lansing virus thus altering the normal progress of this experimental infection. 4. There was no ...
