Abstract Theoretically inherent properties in the class of MIMO V-interconnected systems incline options for arising arbitrary shifts in their fundamental properties, thus demonstrating full-scale plant behaviors when running in a large process range. This curious effect leads to far more serious functional changes in the process properties from mere plant parameter variations. The phenomenon is commented occasionally by some authors in somewhat empirical forms, but nevertheless, it is not yet comprehensively examined in the light of the aggravating subsequences to the control efforts and the task of efficient process diagnostics to that class of plants.

This paper provides a part of the series “Development of an Evaluation Method for Seismic Isolation Systems of Nuclear Power Facilities.” This part shows the fundamental properties of full-scale lead rubber bearings with 1600 mm diameter based on break tests. The following results are mainly obtained. One: The deformations and the acting loads of the full-scale specimens were accurately obtained up to break by the measurement system for the break tests. Two: The fundamental properties for the full-scale lead rubber bearings with a large-diameter lead plug were obtained by the basic property tests. The load-displacement relations were stable and similar basic properties were obtained among the specimens. Three: The result of shear break tests showed that the hardening property of the specimens had a certain harmony with the hardening stiffness model which was used in the seismic response analysis to investigate the safety margin for severe earthquakes beyond design basis earthquakes of nuclear power facilities. The effect of axial pressure on hardening property was not specifically observed. The evaluated linear strain limit was larger than 250% for every specimen. Four: The softening property of the specimens was obtained from the tensile break tests. The axial stress of tensile yield was approx. 1.4 MPa and the axial stress did not show any negative gradient at least up to approx. 10% axial strain after the tensile yield even with offset shear strains. Five: The tensile force acting on the bolts which secure the specimen to the testing machine was lower than the estimated tensile force at shear break, which indicates tensile force was conservatively calculated to maintain safety in the design for foundation of lead rubber bearings.

Summary: In the United States' normative population for the WAIS-R, differences (Ds) between persons' verbal and performance IQs (VIQs and PIQs) tend to increase with an increase in full scale IQs (FSIQs). This suggests that norm-referenced interpretations of Ds should take FSIQs into account. Two new graphs are presented to facilitate this type of interpretation. One of these graphs estimates the mean of absolute values of D (called typical D) at each FSIQ level of the US normative population. The other graph estimates the absolute value of D that is exceeded only 5% of the time (called abnormal D) at each FSIQ level of this population. A graph for the identification of conventional “statistically significant Ds” (also called “reliable Ds”) is also presented. A reliable D is defined in the context of classical true score theory as an absolute D that is unlikely (p < .05) to be exceeded by a person whose true VIQ and PIQ are equal. As conventionally defined reliable Ds do not depend on the FSIQ. The graphs of typical and abnormal Ds are based on quadratic models of the relation of sizes of Ds to FSIQs. These models are generalizations of models described in Hsu (1996) . The new graphical method of identifying Abnormal Ds is compared to the conventional Payne-Jones method of identifying these Ds. Implications of the three juxtaposed graphs for the interpretation of VIQ-PIQ differences are discussed.

And Performance

The difference (D) between a person's Verbal IQ (VIQ) and Performance IQ (PIQ) has for some time been considered clinically meaningful ( Kaufman, 1976 , 1979 ; Matarazzo, 1990 , 1991 ; Matarazzo & Herman, 1985 ; Sattler, 1982 ; Wechsler, 1984 ). Particularly useful is information about the degree to which a difference (D) between scores is “abnormal” (i.e., deviant in a standardization group) as opposed to simply “reliable” (i.e., indicative of a true score difference) ( Mittenberg, Thompson, & Schwartz, 1991 ; Silverstein, 1981 ; Payne & Jones, 1957 ). Payne and Jones (1957) proposed a formula to identify “abnormal” differences, which has been used extensively in the literature, and which has generally yielded good approximations to empirically determined “abnormal” differences ( Silverstein, 1985 ; Matarazzo & Herman, 1985 ). However applications of this formula have not taken into account the dependence (demonstrated by Kaufman, 1976 , 1979 , and Matarazzo & Herman, 1985 ) of Ds on Full Scale IQs (FSIQs). This has led to overestimation of “abnormality” of Ds of high FSIQ children, and underestimation of “abnormality” of Ds of low FSIQ children. This article presents a formula for identification of abnormal WISC-R Ds, which overcomes these problems, by explicitly taking into account the dependence of Ds on FSIQs.
