In the Star Trek episode "The Ultimate Computer", Dr. McCoy refers to an alcoholic drink known as the "Finagle's Folly," apparently a reference to "Finagle's Law."
•
Eventually the term "Finagle's law" was popularized by science fiction author Larry Niven in several stories depicting a frontier culture of asteroid miners; this "Belter" culture professed a religion and/or running joke involving the worship of the dread god Finagle and his mad prophet Murphy.

The saturation exponent models the dependency on the presence of non-conductive fluid (hydrocarbons) in the pore-space, and is related to the wettability of the rock.
The thread, on the other hand, being a physical object held together by electrostatic forces, maintains the same rest length.
Based in San Diego, Black Market Magazine initially featured mostly reviews / interviews of punk rock and other alternative bands such as Samhain, The Cramps, D.O.A., Tex and the Horseheads, G.B.H., New Order, Christian Death, Bad Religion, Ramones, Murphey's Law, Butthole Surfers, Wasted Youth, Danzig, Marilyn Manson, etc..
Thus, it has been known for many years that, due to repulsive Coulombic interactions, electrically charged macromolecules in an aqueous environment can exhibit long-range crystal-like correlations with interparticle separation distances often being considerably greater than the individual particle diameter.
Brodie's Law is a comic book series created by Daley Osiyemi and David Bircham which tells the story of anti-hero, Jack Brodie, East end Gangster, expert thief and professional killer, who in a twist of fate gains the ability to steal his victims' souls and take on their appearance, memories and feelings.
He discovered an inverse relationship of the force between electric charges and the square of its distance, later named after him as Coulomb's law.
The combined gas law is a gas law which combines Charles's law, Boyle's law, and Gay-Lussac's law.
Two examples are Gauss' law (in electrostatics), which follows from the inverse-square Coulomb's law, and Gauss' law for gravity, which follows from the inverse-square Newton's law of universal gravitation.
In this case, the effective nuclear charge can be calculated from Coulomb's law.
In the paper, three example systems are shown to exhibit such a force electrostatic system of molten salt, surface tension and rubber elasticity.
An exciton is a bound state of an electron and an electron hole which are attracted to each other by the electrostatic Coulomb force.

For the electron-nucleus potential, Thomas and Fermi employed the Coulomb potential energy functional
Gustav Alexander (1873 – 12 April 1932) was an Austrian otolaryngologist remembered for describing Alexander's law.
Holly's Law was named after Holly Patterson, an 18-year-old woman who was believed to have been the third woman in the United States who died after taking Mifepristone (also called RU-486).
The drug causes hepatocellular injury, generally shown by more frequent 3-fold or greater elevations above the upper limits of normal (ULN) of ALT or AST than the (nonhepatotoxic) control agent or placebo.
The solution of the Schrödinger equation (wave equations) for the hydrogen atom uses the fact that the Coulomb potential produced by the nucleus is isotropic (it is radially symmetric in space and only depends on the distance to the nucleus).
A fundamental concern for using low-energy electrons (<<100 eV) with this technique is their natural tendency to repel one another due to Coulomb forces as well as Fermi-Dirac statistics, though electron anti-bunching has been verified only in a single case.
The BB condition has guided mathematicians and engineers to develop state-of-the-art formulations for many technologically important problems like Darcy flow, Stokes flow, incompressible Navier-Stokes, nearly incompressible elasticity.
Requiring the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to identify the pathogens that threaten human health (e.g. Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes).
Kopp's law can refer to either of two relationships discovered by the German chemist Hermann Franz Moritz Kopp (1817–1892).
Young–Laplace equation, describing pressure difference over an interface in fluid mechanics.
It determines the strength of the electric field generated by the particle (see Coulomb's law) and how strongly the particle reacts to an external electric or magnetic field (see Lorentz force).
Listing's law is not obeyed when the eyes counter-rotate during head rotation to maintain gaze stability, either due to the Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) or the optokinetic reflex.
Those who practice malandragem (o malandro) act in the manner of the popular Brazilian adage, immortalized in a catch phrase of former Brazilian soccer player Gérson de Oliveira Nunes in a cigarette TV commercial (hence the name it was given: Lei do Gérson, or Gérson's law): “I like to get an advantage in everything.”
However, a fundamental consideration here is to what degree electrons from neighboring beams can disturb one another (from Coulomb repulsion).
During the 2007 session of the Maryland General Assembly, Senator Jacobs sponsored Maryland's version of Jessica's Law.
After some time the electric charge in the avalanche becomes so large that following Coulomb's law it generates an electric field as large as the external electric field.
The striking difference between the two kinds of fields is that we cannot associate electric potential with points in such an electric field and that the work done by the electric force in such a field is not zero over a closed loop.
Ohm's law of electric currents, first proposed by Georg Ohm
In that episode, an undersecretary of the Department, played by Ian Lavender, explains to the Minister that a certain county "has the smallest establishment of social workers in the U.K."
A kinetic description is achieved by solving the Boltzmann equation or, when the correct description of long-range Coulomb interaction is necessary, by the Vlasov equation which contains self-consistent collective electromagnetic field, or by the Fokker-Planck equation, in which approximations have been used to derive manageable collision terms.
Motion in a solid is extremely complicated: Each electron and proton gets pushed and pulled (by Coulomb's law) by all the other electrons and protons in the solid (which may themselves be in motion).
Carrington made the initial observations leading to the establishment of Spörer's law.
He shared the 2009 Gruber Prize in Cosmology with Wendy Freedman of the Carnegie Institution of Washington and Jeremy Mould of the University of Melbourne School of Physics, for their leadership in the definitive measurement of the value of the constant of proportionality in Hubble's Law.
Sen. Joel Lourie (D-Columbia) played an instrumental role in arranging negotiations between those in favor of the bill and those representing the insurance companies, and in furthering discussions during intense deadline pressure.
In addition, particulate solids can be prevented from being captured by surface charge repulsion if the surface charge of the sand is of the same sign (positive or negative) as that of the particulate solid.
In solids, especially in metals and semiconductors, the electrostatic screening or screening effect reduces the electrostatic field and Coulomb potential of an ion inside the solid.

If an electron is added to a multiply charged positive ion, the Coulomb energy is liberated.
The rest of Book II is occupied with showing that the cubic curves arise naturally in the study of optics from the Snell-Descartes Law.
Determining the force for different charges and different separations between the balls, he showed that it followed an inverse-square proportionality law, now known as Coulomb's law.

This usually means that the opposite ear is affected – it is called Alexander's law and is due to asymmetric gaze evoked nystagmus.
The Vlasov equation is a differential equation describing time evolution of the distribution function of plasma consisting of charged particles with long-range (for example, Coulomb) interaction.

As the follow-up to their previous single, the #2 hit "Nature's Law", "World at Your Feet" became another commercial success for Embrace, marking their second UK Top 3 single by peaking at #3 in the UK Singles Chart.
For instance, the traditional electro-static force described by Coulomb's law may be pictured in a simultaneous hyperplane, but relativistic relations of charge and force involve retarded potentials.
Zorn's law is a maxim coined by Chicago Tribune columnist Eric Zorn as a Wikipedia prank.
