Conventionalization

Additionally, efforts should be made to tie in the products with brands and images that are highly regarded and which can further reinforce the natural aspects of the food (Wansink, 1994). Through the use of brand equity leveraging, innovative promotion, and product pairing, these products can achieve an air of familiarity, quality, and conventionality (Wansink, 2005). 

In conclusion, it should be reiterated that realism, positivism, and conventionalism all were aspects of chemical epistemology, as they were of physical epistemology. 

Whereas many early-twentieth-century physicists were inclined to regard conventionalism, complementarity, and indeterminacy as concessions of failure in their traditional philosophical enterprise, chemists were not surprised that a simple, "logical" account of the behavior of electrons and atoms, like that of molecules and people, often gives way to the inconsistencies and uncertainties of empiricism. This is a point of view they taught physicists to accept, among them, Richard Feynman ...

Recognize that conventionality is a way of hiding yourself and avoiding developing as a person. By giving up control of your life to outside factors, you become a mirror that reflects the expectations of everyone but yourself.

Pliny also in his Natural History, while he is not much concerned with this class of considerations, yet also evidently accepts the Aristotelian concepts as they had become conventionalized in his day. 

It was however not Paracelsus who first introduced the use of salts of the metals and similar products of chemistry into medical practice. The Materia Medica of Dioscorides and the Natural History of Pliny bear evidence that such substances were much used in their time. But in the middle ages, their use was more limited and conventionalized. To be sure the use of chemical medicines was being slowly extended principally through the initiative of Italian and Spanish practitioners, before Paracelsus, and it is possible that in Italy Paracelsus received this impulse. 

Many personality theories have been examined by researchers in relation to teen marijuana use. In one study, to categorize the personality differences between adolescent drug users and non-users, researchers created a scale of conventionality-unconventionality. In one study, the basic personality traits of young adolescents were categorized before their use of any drugs. Based on their personality traits, the adolescents were put into one of two groups unconventional and conventional. Predictions were then made on who would use drugs (unconventional personality) and who would not (conventional personality).

As for spatial causative factors, however, there is little or no evidence that any special form of spatial format or spatially congruent feedback is a necessary condition for the primary elaboration of codes for order. With humans subjects, of course, all one can say is that the experimental tasks have eliminated conventionalized forms of spatial support. Yet spatially derived devices could well be imported by the subject and used in the mind s eye. With our simian subjects, ignorant of social and cultural conventions that utilize spatial layouts, this contention is difficult to sustain. The basis for such organization in all primates, we would contend, is temporal in nature, and can be tracked through the trajectories for private individual knowledge growth in evolution and development.

Much of the material in this review was taken from previously published articles involving at least one of the authors. For lysozyme, references (Brooks and Karplus 1985 Post and Karplus 1986 Karplus and Post 1996) were used for RNase A reference (Haydock et al. 1990) was used for carboxypeptidase A (Stote and Karplus 1995) was used and for triosephosphate isomerase, (Joseph et al. 1990) was used. We thank Arieh Warshel for a careful reading of the manuscript. The work was supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation to Harvard University.

These data as presented in the patent are evidently conventionalized and the products designated probably represent characteristic fractions obtained in the distillation of the dry product. Substances not reported but which in all probability are present in the product include methanol, formaldehyde, formic acid, esters, amyl alcohols, and possibly heavier compounds formed by condensation and polymerization. 

The section on Pictures in Art explains the difficulties that arise when an account of pictorial representation is extended from a consideration of scientific objects to objects represented in art. The section on Representing Molecules returns to the representation of spatial relations between atoms showing how, in systems of molecular representation after the time of Dalton, the spatial relations between atoms were sometimes shown in ways that were, on the account given in this chapter, pictorial, as was the case with van t Hoff s representations of the geometries of carbon atoms using solid tetrahedra. Later, schematic methods of spatial representation were developed, such as the Fischer projection, which conventionalized the representation of spatial relationships.
