Hard facts for hard science [PDF]

open access: possiblePhysics World, 1998
Here are two related problems. First, the number of applicants to UK university courses in the physical sciences has fallen by 26% over the last three years. Second, there is an increasing tide of opinion – not only among opinion-formers, but also among those who set research priorities – that the future of physics in the 21st century lies in its role ...

Thermodynamic hardness and the maximum hardness principle

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2017
An alternative definition of hardness (called the thermodynamic hardness) within the grand canonical ensemble formalism is proposed in terms of the partial derivative of the electronic chemical potential with respect to the thermodynamic chemical potential of the reservoir, keeping the temperature and the external potential constant.

Work hard and play hard

Practice Nursing, 1998
Some evenings ago there was a TV programme on the problems of substance abuse amongst doctors. It highlighted the manner in which their addictions had been hidden from colleagues and the horrendous dangers their patients were exposed to. Nurses also have amongst their number those who use addictive and performance diminishing drugs.

Hard Instances of Hard Problems

2000
This paper investigates the instance complexities of problems that are hard or weakly hard for exponential time under polynomial time, many-one reductions. It is shown that almost every instance of almost every problem in exponential time has essentially maximal instance complexity.

Ball Hardness and Scleroscope Hardness

Nature, 1923
IN the ball hardness test Meyer found that L =adn. By combining this relation with Brinell's formula H = L/A, it can be shown that the hardness number when the ball is immersed up to its diameter is This value has been called the “ultimate hardness” (Hu), and is independent of the initial condition of the metal with regard to cold work.

Hard Cases and Hard Law

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1974
To the Editor.— The medical profession is under attack—hard cases—and unless it cleans its own house, the public will do so for it—bad law. I want to clarify, if possible, the scrambling of the use of the aphorism, in which "hard cases" means hard because of judicial sympathy for one of the parties, and in which "bad law" means a precedent that, if ...

The Hard Problem is Mainly Hard Work

Cognitive Neuroscience, 2020
Doerig et al. point out that there is now a great deal of evidence bearing directly on our understanding of consciousness. However, they argue that the multiplicity of theories suggest that we have a 'lack of stringent criteria specifying how empirical data constrains ToCs.'
