Abstract. In the middle of 1989, the INGV (Italian Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia) installed in Central Italy a network of magnetic stations in order to investigate possible relationship of the local magnetic field with earthquakes occurrences. Actually the network consists of four stations, where the total magnetic field intensity data are being collected using proton precession magnetometers. Here we are report on the actual state and the future developments of the network. In the frame of the MEM (Magnetic and Electric fields Monitoring) Project, new stations will be added to the network by the end of 2007. The results of the test campaigns carried out in the sites chosen to widen the network are also discussed. Moreover, the 2006 complete data set of the network is also reported. Concerning the data analysis, a new approach is also discussed that takes into account the inductive effects on the local geomagnetic field by means of the inter-station transfer functions time variations analysis.

This article describes the initial concept and developments of a new approach to reducing the number of inputting errors that are made in working with computers and decreasing the time the inputter must spend correcting errors. The approach involves intercepting and correcting errors before they are designated as such by Spell Check and eliminating the need for the time and effort of Spell Check. The operating principles and concepts of this approach, called Super ErrorCorrect™, is described, along with a software suite, that enables the implementation and the testing of the approach. This paper reports on the changes and evolution that resulted from analysis and limited Beta Testing. The preliminary data shows that not only is the Super ErrorCorrect™ approach feasible, but substantial time is saved while error rates are reduced markedly. Some data also suggests that in addition to the time saved in not using Spell Check, there is a tendency for users to type faster as they do not get negative reinforcement when they type faster and make errors as the software fixes the error in real time. Researchers are invited to collaborate in further research and licenses to the technology and software are provided at no cost if research results will be publicly disclosed.

SummaryDelusions are a key symptom of psychosis and they are frequently distressing and disabling. Existing treatments, both pharmacological and psychological, are only partially effective. It is important to develop new treatment approaches based on theoretically derived and empirically tested processes. Delusions are associated with a reasoning bias: the jumping to conclusions (JTC) bias involves gathering limited information to reach decisions. It is proposed that this bias influences appraisals of psychotic experiences leading to the formation and persistence of delusions. Existing treatments do not influence JTC. A new intensive treatment approach – ‘reasoning training’ – is described. It aims to encourage participants to gather information, consider alternative explanations for events and review the evidence before reaching a decision. Preliminary data suggest that it is possible to change the JTC bias and that this improves belief flexibility and may reduce delusional conviction. The concepts and methods of this new approach have implications for clinical practice.
