Fechner's law implies that sensation is a logarithmic function of physical intensity, which is impossible due to the logarithm's singularity at zero ; therefore, S. S. Stevens proposed the more mathematically plausible power-law relation of sensation to intensity in his famous 1961 paper entitled " To Honor Fechner and Repeal His Law.

Some authors use the term to mean Weber's law, and others Fechner's law.

Other sense modalities provide only mixed support for either Weber's law or Fechner's law.

* Fechner's law

* Weber – Fechner law ( Weber's law, Fechner's law ) – Ernst Heinrich Weber and Gustav Theodor Fechner

This new law became known as Fechner's Law, or the Weber-Fechner Law, and formed the basis of Fechner's new science of psychophysics.

In particular, Thurstone showed that if Fechner's law applies and the discriminal dispersions associated with stimuli are constant ( as in Case 5 of the LCJ outlined below ), then Weber's law will also be verified.

Fechner's general formula for getting at the number of units in any sensation is S = c log R, where S stands for the sensation, R for the stimulus numerically estimated, and c for a constant that must be separately determined by experiment in each particular order of sensibility.

Fechner's work in aesthetics is also important.

Fechner's position in reference to predecessors and contemporaries is not very sharply defined.

This satellite crater Fechner C is surrounded by a blanket of light-hued ejecta that spills across the southwestern half of Fechner's interior floor.

In London, in a used bookstore, he came across Gustav Fechner's book Elemente der Psychophysik ( Elements of Psychophysics ), which spurred him to conduct his famous memory experiments.

The one influence that has always been cited as having inspired Ebbinghaus was Fechner's Elements of Psychophysics, a book which he purchased second-hand in England.

This flip book was finalized based on an idea outlined by Jean-Guy Fechner, Fechner's younger brother and former Christian group The Chariot.

Fechner's reasoning has been criticized on the grounds that although stimuli are composite, sensations are not.

Fechner's world concept was highly animistic.

Charles Hartshorne saw him as a predecessor on his and Alfred North Whitehead's philosophy and regretted that Fechner's philosophical work had been neglected for so long.

Gerardus Heymans ( 17 April 1857, Ferwert – 18 February 1930, Groningen ) was a famous philosopher, psychologist, a follower of Fechner's idea of psychic monism, and from 1890 to 1927 a Professor at Groningen University.

Fechner's work systematised the Introspectionist approach ( psychology as the science of consciousness ), that had to contend with the Behaviorist approach in which even verbal responses are as physical as the stimuli.

Fechner's work was studied and extended by Charles S. Peirce, who was aided by his student Joseph Jastrow, who soon became a distinguished experimental psychologist in his own right.

Peirce and Jastrow largely confirmed Fechner's empirical findings, but not all.

In particular, a classic experiment of Peirce and Jastrow rejected Fechner's estimation of a threshold of perception of weights, as being far too high.

Essentially this imposed two conditions: First, international law had to recognize and be compatible with an international political system in which a number of states were competitive, suspicious, and opportunistic in their political alignments with one another ; ;

The European customs on which international law was based were to become, by force and fiat, the customs that others were to accept as law if they were to join this community as sovereign states.

There was no law, domestic or international, except that willed by, acknowledged by, or consented to by states.

The result, of course, would be that federal law inevitably would mean different things in different states.

A tax-free reorganization not complying with the merger or consolidation statutes of the states involved is difficult to fit into an `` operation of law '' mold.

The President noted that Congress last year passed a law providing grants to states to help pay medical bills of the needy aged.

The law which governs home rule charter petitions states that they must be referred to the chairman of the board of canvassers for verification of the signatures within 10 days and Mr. Martinelli happens to hold that post.

Ampère's force law states that there is an attractive or repulsive force between two parallel wires carrying an electric current.

The table itself is a visual representation of the periodic law, which states that certain chemical properties of elements repeat periodically when arranged by atomic number.

The most important of these was the principle that came to be called Ampère ’ s law, which states that the mutual action of two lengths of current-carrying wire is proportional to their lengths and to the intensities of their currents.

Max Planck's strong form of the third law of thermodynamics states the entropy of a perfect crystal vanishes at absolute zero.

In common law states an assault is not committed by merely, for example, swearing at another ; without threat of battery, there can be no assault.

His veto message objected to the measure because it conferred citizenship on the freedmen at a time when eleven out of thirty-six states were unrepresented in the Congress, and the bill also attempted to fix, by federal law, " a perfect equality of the white and black races in every State of the Union.

For example, if for a given problem size a parallelized implementation of an algorithm can run 12 % of the algorithm's operations arbitrarily quickly ( while the remaining 88 % of the operations are not parallelizable ), Amdahl's law states that the maximum speedup of the parallelized version is times as fast as the non-parallelized implementation.

) Amdahl's law states that the overall speedup of applying the improvement will be:

In the case of parallelization, Amdahl's law states that if P is the proportion of a program that can be made parallel ( i. e., benefit from parallelization ), and ( 1 − P ) is the proportion that cannot be parallelized ( remains serial ), then the maximum speedup that can be achieved by using N processors is

In the United States the English common law as to affray applies, subject to certain modifications by the statutes of particular states.

Jerome states that Apollos was so dissatisfied with the division at Corinth, that he retired to Crete with Zenas, a doctor of the law ; and that the schism having been healed by Paul's letter to the Corinthians, Apollos returned to the city, and became its bishop.

The law of conservation of angular momentum states that when no external torque acts on an object or a closed system of objects, no change of angular momentum can occur.

An example from the constitutional law of sovereign states would be a provincial government in a federal state trying to legislate in an area exclusively enumerated to the federal government in the constitution, such as ratifying a treaty.

In most but not all modern states the constitution has supremacy over ordinary Statutory law ( see Uncodified constitution below ); in such states when an official act is unconstitutional, i. e. it is not a power granted to the government by the constitution, that act is null and void, and the nullification is ab initio, that is, from inception, not from the date of the finding.

For example, in England and Wales and in most states of the United States, the basic law of contracts, torts and property do not exist in statute, but only in common law ( though there may be isolated modifications enacted by statute ).
