The Problem of the Earth's Figure: Measurement, Theory, and Evidence in Physical Geodesy
… (chapter 1), using measurements to conduct severe tests of theoretical laws (chapter 2), using discordant measurements to study second-order phenomena (chapter 3), and using multiple alternative measures to identify the sources of persistent errors (chapter 4).

Animating the EPR-Experiment: Reasoning from Error in the Search for Bell Violations
… of her stringent demand for the output of severe tests to stand at the basis of rational inference, helps to explain the methodological reactions expressed by scientists in response to the loopholes that plagued the early Bell experiments performed by Alain Aspect et al.. At the same time, …

Finite time suboptimal control design of nonlinear systems with θ-D technique and implementation to aerospace applications
… at the initial time, which alleviates the severe tests of the actuators. The detailed procedure to develop this technique and corresponding stability proof were provided. The effectiveness of the proposed technique was verified by solving the two-dimensional benchmark problem, and the other …

Experimental Knowledge in Cognitive Neuroscience: Evidence, Errors, and Inference
… for psychology. I show how the ES notions of severe tests and error probabilities can be applied in epistemological analyses of fMRI. The result is that hemodynamic hypotheses can be severely tested in fMRI experiments and I demonstrate how these hypotheses are theoretically significant and …

Quantitative Analysis of River Profiles and Fluvial Landscapes
… rate is investigated using increasingly severe tests. Inverse modelling of synthetic fluvial profiles from the resultant landscapes demonstrates the original forcing can be reliably recovered. This result implies that tectonic forcing plays a primary role in sculpting landscapes. …
