12. Friedrich Moh (1773-1839), a German mineralogist. He considered ten well known, easily available minerals, and arranged them in order of their "scratch hardness". If a specimen to be tested can be scratched by a known mineral from the list, it is softer than that mineral. If it in turn will scratch another known mineral, it is harder than that mineral. This gives a very quick and easy field test for hardness. As such it is very useful for mineralogists. It is too destructive to be commonly used in gemmology, but is available, and can be valuable on rough gemstones.

22. In short hand presentation, a functional is "the function (E[ ]) of a function [ρ(r)]", it assumes that if we have a system with a changing electron density [ρ(r)], then E is a function of that total distribution.

31. From a molecular point of view, the electronic wave function is constructed by combining atomic-like orbitals using quantum chemical methods. This approach allows for studying electronic properties such as excitation spectra in a more quantitative way than the solid state approach. However, the methods are rather computationally demanding and hence used for molecules or relatively small clusters. This means that long-range ordering effects are not included. Therefore one may use both types of methods as they can be complementary.
