TL;DR: In this article, pointing performances in a case of visual allesthesia are reported; pointing behavior for identical targets was different according to hand and the most salient feature was that a same visual target elicited relatively short RTs with adequate pointing using the left hand versus much longer reaction times with allesthesic pointing using using the right hand.

TL;DR: In this paper, the intersection and union of regular systems are described and developed along with sufficient conditions for their existance, which are then applied in a detailed example concerning stratification in a small sample.
Abstract: The authors begin with a brief review of the framework in which network analysis has been used in sociology and with a presentation of the basic notation employed. Using this basis, they then define the concept of regularity in social networks. After a short recall of matrix algebra resultats, several conditions for regularity are given along with examples of its use and application in social networks. These results are compared with those of the block-model approach to network analysis and with the general multivariable analysis approach used in sociology. The intersection and union of regular systems are described and developed along with sufficient conditions for their existance. This work is then applied in a detailed example concerning stratification in a small sample.
