TL;DR: In this paper, a lead-through for electric cables and the like is described, which is fire-proof, gas-proof and liquid-proof at a predetermined temperature at a ceiling, floor and/or wall.
Abstract: The invention comprises a lead-through for electric cables and the like which is fire-proof, gas-proof, and liquid-proof at a predetermined temperature. The cables extend through an opening in a ceiling, floor and/or wall. Guide strips encircle at least one conductor or cable; and filling members, when required, are placed between the sides of the opening and guide strips. The filling members and the strips comprise a material having a relatively high coefficient of cubic expansion. A support member for the strips is arranged to abut a support edge formed in a frame structure. The support member affords a reinforcement against high pressure acting on the lead-through.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of varied color-word combinations on verbal response latency were investigated. But the results were limited to the color word interference test, and they were not extended to other words.

TL;DR: Perceptual confusion matrices were generated with the use of tachistoscopic exposure of upper case letters of the English alphabet at each of two exposure durations, and there was no evidence for the common assumption that a basic 'pattern of confusions' exists betweenletters of the alphabet.
Abstract: : Perceptual confusion matrices were generated with the use of tachistoscopic exposure of upper case letters of the English alphabet at each of two exposure durations. The resulting matrices were compared with those generated by Hodge and Pew and Gardner. Little correspondence was noted between the pattern of confusions obtained in each study. Thus, there was no evidence for the common assumption that a basic 'pattern of confusions' exists between letters of the alphabet. Implications for studies of short-term memory were discussed.

TL;DR: The authors attempted to change the attitudes of college students toward the elderly by the manipulation of imagery and found significant changes in the positive direction on an attitude questionnaire for the experimental group and no significant changes for the control group.
Abstract: The purpose of the study was to attempt to change the attitudes of college students toward the elderly by the manipulation of imagery It was hypothesized that pairing (in imagination) a reinforcing situation with an elderly individual would result in behavior change toward elderly people in general Results indicated significant changes in the positive direction on an attitude questionnaire for the experimental group and no significant changes for the control group Possible further studies in this are are discussed
TL;DR: In this article, Peer Influences on Preschool Children's Willingness to try Difficult Tasks are discussed. But they do not consider the effect of peer influence on the decision-making process.

TL;DR: In this paper, an investigation of success predictors in graduate school in psychology is presented, where success predictor is defined as a predictor of the success of a student in a course.

TL;DR: In this paper, the attitude of rehabilitation patients towards the wheel chair was studied and the results showed that patients were more likely to use wheelchairs than walk-chairs during their rehabilitation.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of real vs. ideal self with a self-actualization inventory is made. But the comparison is limited to self-identification. The Journal of Psychology: Vol. 72, No. 2, pp 159-164.
