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.

Hoxton Square

James Parkinson (1755–1824), the physician and author of An Essay on the Shaking Palsy, the subject of which is now known as Parkinson's disease, was in practice at 1 Hoxton Square, which is commemorated with a blue plaque on the site.

Hydrogen atom

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).

Ilene Strizver

Strizver was the Director of Typeface Development for International Typeface Corporation (ITC), where she developed more than 300 text and display typefaces with such respected and world-renowned type designers as Sumner Stone, Erik Spiekermann, Jill Bell, Jim Parkinson, Tim Donaldson, and the late Phill Grimshaw.

Ivo Babuška

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.

Kopp's law

Kopp's law can refer to either of two relationships discovered by the German chemist Hermann Franz Moritz Kopp (1817–1892).

Laplace's law

Young–Laplace equation, describing pressure difference over an interface in fluid mechanics.

Larry Whiteside

Whiteside developed Parkinson's disease early in the 21st century, which led to the end of his career with The Boston Globe in 2004.

Lepton

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

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.

Low-threshold spikes

Therefore, much research has been conducted on low-threshold spikes in the neurons in the thalamus and how it could relate to Parkinson's disease and the corresponding loss of motor function.

Malandragem

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.”

Maskless lithography

However, a fundamental consideration here is to what degree electrons from neighboring beams can disturb one another (from Coulomb repulsion).

Nancy Jacobs

During the 2007 session of the Maryland General Assembly, Senator Jacobs sponsored Maryland's version of Jessica's Law.

Nitrogen laser

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.

Nonelectrostatic electric fields

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.

Parkinson's Sunday Supplement

Between these features Parkinson would play what he termed "the very best in music" from the jazz and big-band genres, including such artists as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Joe Williams.

Plasma modeling

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).

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.

Pressure should be corrected to the expected water temperature using Gay-Lussac's law.

If an electron is added to a multiply charged positive ion, the Coulomb energy is liberated.

Torsion spring

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.
