“Of course, three [ good] publications [with a perhaps loosely unified theme] is nowhere near enough to get a professorship—even at a crappy school. But, it’s about enough to get a Ph.D.”

Apophatic theology (from Greek ἀπόφασις from ἀποφάναι - apophanai, “to show no”)—also known as Negative theology or Via Negativa (Latin for “Negative Way”)—is a theology that attempts to describe God, the Divine Good, by negation, to speak only in terms of what may not be said about the perfect goodness that is God.^[1] It stands in contrast with Cataphatic theology.

Indirect determination of compressibility by using internal pressure. Neat.

U.Bianchi et al proved that internal pressure has a very slight dependence on temperature.

Gilbert Newton Lewis (October 23, 1875 – March 23, 1946) was an American physical chemist known for the discovery of the covalent bond (see his Lewis dot structures and his 1916 paper “The Atom and the Molecule”), his purification of heavy water, his reformulation of chemical thermodynamics in a mathematically rigorous manner accessible to ordinary chemists, his theory of Lewis acids and bases, and his photochemical experiments. In 1926, Lewis coined the term “photon” for the smallest unit of radiant energy. He was a brother of Alpha Chi Sigma, the professional chemistry fraternity, and for most of his long professor career, a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley.

I always put off implementing this.

But am gonna do it now that I can sync w/ my iPhone, and Gcal.

This can be used to predict the temperature at a certain pressure, given the temperature at another pressure, or vice versa. Alternatively, if the corresponding temperature and pressure is known at two points, the enthalpy of vaporization can be determined.
