Constructing time‐specific reference ranges

Statistics in Medicine, 1991
AbstractReference ranges which take time (such as age) into account are often required in medicine, but simple, systematic and efficient statistical methods for constructing them are lacking. A method is described which is based on low order polynomial curves (linear, quadratic or occasionally cubic), together with guidelines for when and how to apply ...

Interactively human: Sharing time, constructing materiality

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2013
AbstractPredictive processing models of cognition are promising an elegant way to unite action, perception, and learning. However, in the current formulations, they are species-unspecific and have very little particularly human about them. I propose to examine how, in this framework, humans can be able to massively interact and to build shared worlds ...

Construction time of PWRs

Energy Policy, 2013
Abstract The construction time of PWRs is studied considering published data about nuclear power plants in the world. For the 268 PWRs in operation in 2010, the mode of the construction time distribution is around 5–6 years, and 80% of the plants were built in less than 120 months.

TIME AND SOCIALIST CONSTRUCTION

International Journal of Sociology and Social Policy, 1984
Let us submit the following proposition for consideration: the essence of socialist construction lies in the bid to appropriate the future and is therefore expressed politically, in the organised manipulation of time. What we ordinarily take to be the sine qua non of socialist relations, namely central planning, totalitarian rule and the abolition of ...

Characteristics and Constructions of Default Times

SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics, 2020
The authors identify, for different defaultable claims, the processes which uniquely determine the pre-default price. Although the use of the default intensity or hazard process is ubiquitous, it may not uniquely characterise the price of some defaultable claims.

Constructing Time After Death

Time & Society, 1997
This article reports on an `extraordinary' time perspective, one that partitions the future into pre- and post-death time frames. Based on data from 1235 individuals, the `transcendental-future' extends from the point of imagined death of the physical body to infinity, yet may influence present behavior.

The apparent time construct

Language Variation and Change, 1991
ABSTRACTThe use of apparent time differences to study language change in progress has been a basic analytical construct in quantitative sociolinguistics for over 30 years. The basic assumption underlying the construct is that, unless there is evidence to the contrary, differences among generations of similar adults mirror actual diachronic developments

The Social Construction of Work Times

Time & Society, 2000
This article deals with the negotiation of time boundaries in a project group. The study grew up from a theoretical approach grounded in cultural psychology, where time is considered as a cultural artifact and as a dimension of the interactive environment that could be co-constructed by all participants through discourse.

Constructing mental time without visual experience

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2015
Across many cultures, people create spatial representations of time. The direction of mental timelines often follows the direction of writing in a person's language. A new study demonstrates that blind participants (who read with their hands) also show mental timelines that follow reading direction.

Timing and Plot “Construction”

2015
As John Russell Taylor observes in The Rise and Fall of the Well-Made Play, the term “plot construction” is acutely misleading, employing as it does an architectural metaphor although drama is a temporal art form. It is therefore not only appropriate to speak of “timing,” “time management” or “temporal organization” of a play rather than of ...
