Measurement and calculation of Josephson junction device inductances

We have measured the inductances of various structures used in Josephson junction devices and circuits by means of a novel differential inductance measurement technique. The structures measured include a single superconductor strip line, multisuperconductor strip lines, a single superconductor strip line crossing a ground plane hole, and two coupled superconductor strip lines crossing a ground plane hole. All measured inductances are compared with inductances calculated from various inductance formulas and two numerical inductance calculation programs. Very good agreements are found between the measured inductances and the calculated results for most cases.

Self-statements and self-evaluations: A cognitive-response analysis of heterosocial anxiety

In the present investigation, an inductive measurement technique was employed to test some of the shared assertions made by theories of emotional behavior and behavior change. Specifically, the effects of heterosocial anxiety and anonymity on self-statements and self-evaluation by men were investigated. It was found that the anticipation of a discussion with an unfamiliar woman resulted in (a) the spontaneous generation of more negative self-statements and self-evaluation by high than by low heterosocially anxious men, (b) high and low heterosocially anxious men emitting their self-statements, which were clearly distinguishable; and (c) the anonymity of the impending discussion affecting neither the self-statements nor the self-evaluation of high and low heterosocially anxious men. These results provide evidence that an individual's idiosyncratic cognitive responses can be assessed objectively and easily, and that the nature of the self-statements is affected by individual differences even though the individuals involved may be unaware of these effects.
