Lessons from behaviorism: the problem of construct-led science

Yarkoni makes a number of valid points in his critical analysis of psychology, but he misses an opportunity to expose the root of its problems. That root is the poor practice around the derivation of explanatory constructs. We make comment on this with an example from behaviorist history and relate this to the recent discussion of scientific understanding in the philosophy of science

Some Coefficient Estimates for Polynomials on the Unit Interval

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 26C05, 26C10, 30A12, 30D15, 42A05, 42C05.In this paper we present some inequalities about the moduli of the coefficients of polynomials of the form f (x) : = еn = 0nan xn, where a0, ј, an О C. They can be seen as generalizations, refinements or analogues of the famous inequality of P. L. Chebyshev, according to which |an| Ј 2n-1 if | еn = 0n an xn | Ј 1 for -1 Ј x Ј 1

The Schwarz-Pick theorem and its applications

Various derivative estimates for functions of exponential type in a half-plane are proved in this paper. The reader will also find a related result about functions analytic in a quadrant. In addition, the paper contains a result about functions analytic in a strip. Our main tool in this study is the Schwarz-Pick theorem from the geometric theory of functions. We also use the Phragmen-Lindelof principle, which is of course standard in such situations
