Re: [Phys-l] pressure

I suspect the "s in your described searches are not there, but as 
separators in you sentence, i.e. I obtain only 573K for "stress tensor", 
53.1K for "pressure tensor",  and 577K for stress-tensor,  53.3K for 
pressure-tensor.  Obviously " and - are approx. equivalent, as I 
expected.   AND OTOH   pressure tensor results in  1.19M,  stress tensor 
3.69M.   This is also as I expect -- The correct comparison is w/ the 
"s; n'est pas?

bc, thinks he knows how to use GOOGLE
