London School of Economics

The following paper, the fifth one, marks something of a shift in emphasis. In a long paper co-authored with John Worrall from the London School of Economics (LSE), we set out to examine just how important predictions were in the acceptance of the periodic table by the scientific community of the late 1800s. This question has nothing to do with quantum mechanics which did not exist until 1905, even if one just considers the very early work of Max Planck. 

Eric Scerri studied chemistry at the Universities of London, Cambridge and Southampton, and obtained a Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of science from King s College, London on the question of "The Reduction of Chemistry to Quantum Mechanics," He has been a research felloiu in the history and philosophy of science at the London School of Economics and at the California Institute of Technology. He is currently an assistant professor of chemistry at Bradley University, where he also teaches histoiy and philosophy of chemistry, which are also his main research interests. He is editor of the new journal Foundations of Chemistry. Address Department of Chemistry, Bradley University, Peoria, IL 61625. Internet scerri bradley.edu.

There is yet another possibility. The general assumption is that the effect of a drug adds to the placebo effect, so that the total improvement that patients experience is the drug effect in addition to the placebo effect. This assumption is implicit in the design of placebo-controlled clinical trials, in which the drug effect is assessed as the difference between the response to the drug and the response to the placebo. Anne Harrington, an historian of science at Harvard University and the London School of Economics, calls it the oil-and-water hypothesis.

Several earlier meetings were also held in Germany and the UK, including one at the London School of Economics, in March 1994 and the first International Summer School in Philosophy of Chemistry, in July 1994. (Scerri 2003a). A detailed survey of the history of the field has been published (Van Brakel, 1999) and several books on philosophy of chemistry have also appeared (Bhushan and Rosenfeld 2000 Schummer 1996 Van Brakel 2000).

Recently, researchers from Harvard Business School and London School of Economics demonstrated that in a matched comparison of 180 companies, the 90 companies that voluntarily adopted environmental and social pohcies long ago significantly outperform the 90 similar companies that do not consider sustainability an important part of their business and, hence, have adopted none of these policies. The outperformance is both in terms of performance in annual accounts and on the stock market. On the latter, return on investment was up to 50 % higher over the full period 1992-2010 (Eccles et al. 2012).

The questionnaire is administered, either in paper or electronic form, with the paper questionnaire distributed by the ANSP to all targeted staff (which is usually all staff in the ANSP, excluding external contractors). An electronic version of the questionnaire has also been developed. This is more efficient in the analysis stage but participation depends on the availability of computers for operational staff. The questionnaires are returned directly to an academic partner, currently the London School of Economics (until 2011 the University of Aberdeen provided this service), for analysis. The academic partner ensures that data analysis remains independent and thus provides additional assurance of confidentiality to ANSP staff, as neither ANSP nor EUROCONTROL persoimel see the raw data or filled-in questioimaires.
