This expression resembles (equation 2), however it is valid anywhere within the body, not just at the surface. Therefore we define a Love function, h(r) to be... 

At the surface nr(A) = 5R and the Love function h(R) matches the expression for the Love number as given in equation 4, (3). It has been shown that when C2 — 0, A2 and B2 — 00. Thus h(r) also becomes large under those conditions. 

As with h(r) a Love function k(r) can be defined anywhere inside the body...

D. The symptoms are not better accounted for by bereavement (i.e., after the loss of a loved one), the symptoms persist for longer than 2 months or are characterized by marked functional impairment, morbid preoccupation with worthlessness, suicidal ideation, psychotic symptoms, or psychomotor retardation. 

The DSM is careful to recognize that culture also determines definitions of mental illness. In the DSM, unusual and distressing behaviors such as culturally sanctioned responses to the death of a loved one are excluded from diagnosis. Most current conceptualizations of mental illness recognize that societal values play an important role in establishing whether something is a mental disorder (Lilienfeld Marino, 1995 Wakefield, 1992). The result is that the boundaries of mental illness are believed to shift as a function of culture, both across cultures and within cultures, over time. One important implication of cultural relativism is that definitions of mental illness will necessarily vary.

Mark is also known for his love of the practical joke. Clearly he has taken advantage of his respected experience and sunny disposition, for the merriment of (almost) all. Otto Kratky tells of the time in Dahlem when a quartz vacuum pump used for evacuating X-ray tubes ceased to function. After failing to find the reason, Kratky took the problem to Mark. 

Although they obtained patents on the use of MDA for these applications (and also as a weight-loss product), they never developed commercial products from the compound. The problem, which appeared during human trials, was that the psychic effects on subjects were too severe to permit use of MDA for its intended functions. The compound caused overstimulation of the CNS, which sometimes resulted in panic attacks among subjects. This drawback did not, however, prevent the spread of MDA in the illicit drug market, where it eventually became one of the most popular substances used in the 1960s, when it was widely known as "the love drug. ... 

Ah, the crux of the problem, is it not Up until now, we ve just assumed we have some set of molecular orbitals i or Vu which we can manipulate at will. But how does one come up with even approximate solutions to the many body Schrodinger equation without having to solve it Start with the celebrated linear combination of atomic orbitals to get molecular orbitals (LCAO-MO) approximation. This allows us to use some set of (approximate) atomic orbitals, the basis functions which we know and love, to expand the MOs in. In the most general terms,...
