it is also different from belief in many ways. So my seeing that the cup is yellow, being a kind of propositional attitude I take towards that proposition, can count as my reason for believing that the cup is yellow. I’ve thus got a reason for that belief, and it’s a good one. No sort of inference from a

A n academic Festschrift, as every reader of this volume knows, is a book honoring a respected scholar or scientist. It is usually published to cele- brate an important landmark in the honoree's life. In our case the honored academic is Henry L. (Roddy) Roediger, 111, a brilliant cognitive psychologist, mentor and teacher, friend and colleague. And the landmark, as far as I know, was the discovery in 2004 by Roddy's colleagues at Purdue, primarily Jim Nairne, that they had had the good fortune of having had a truly remarkable colleague in their very midst when Roddy was a faculty me~nber there. The discovery resulted in Roddy's being nominated for and abvarded an honorary doctor's degree by Purdue, followed by a scientific conference to celebrate his achievements, and now this volu~ne to record it for posterity. Wikipedia, the source of infinite knowledge and wisdom in our day and age, offering an explication of the term, declares that "A Festschrift can be anything from a slim volume to a work in several volumes. It often includes important contributions to scholarship of science. " Please note that the operative word in this pithy definition is "often. " Often means "not always. " An appropriate elaborative emendation of Wikipedia's definition would say that a Festscllrift frequently

Summary. Over the last twenty years, the financial industry has developed numerous tools for the quantitative measurement of risk. The need for this was mainly due to changing market conditions and regulatory guidelines. In this article we review these processes and summarize the most important risk categories considered. 1

“Somebody says, ‘You know, you people always say that space is continuous. How do you know when you get to a small enough dimension that there really are enough points in between, that it isn’t just a lot of dots separated by little distances? ’ Or they say, ‘You know those quantum mechanical amplitudes you told me about, they’re so complicated and absurd, what makes you think those are right? Maybe they aren’t right. ’ Such remarks are obvious and are perfectly clear to anybody who is working on this problem. It does not do any good to point this out.” —Richard Feynman [1, p.161]

The relative permittivity and the dielectric loss of the sintered pellets were measured at zero and room temperatures. The highest
