Estimation and hypothesis in linear models-A reparameterization approach to the cell mlans modll

A general approach to analysis of fixed effects models through a reparameterization of the cell means model is outlined. After applying a Q-op3rator, distribution theory for the model is developed. Methods of estimation and hypothesis testing are given and the exact form of each hypothesis is shown. The implementation of these results in a currently available computer package is discussed.

Music to Remember Me By: Technologies of Memory in Home Recording

This article presents ethnographic data on home music recording to advance the concept of technologies of memory as way for interactionists to understand memory work as a practice of self. John Dewey's classic ruminations on memory as process are combined with Tia DeNora's contemporary articulation of music as a technology of the self to explain data on home recording as individually and socially meaningful mnemonic work. This specific case study demonstrates how home recordists use material technologies (technics) and technological practices (techniques) to form and reform the self in everyday life. More generally, this article demonstrates the efficacy of interpretive studies of memory, creativity, technology, and the self in everyday life.
