Shore durometer Shore durometer The Shore durometer is a device for measuring the hardness of a material, typically of polymers, elastomers, and rubbers.. Higher numbers on the scale indicate a greater resistance to indentation and thus harder materials. Lower numbers indicate less resistance and softer materials. The term is also used to describe a material‘s rating on the scale, as in an object having a “‘Shore durometer’ of 90.” The scale was defined by Albert Ferdinand Shore, who developed a suitable device to measure hardness in the 1920s. It was neither the first hardness tester nor the first to be called a
North Shore University Hospital to its being renamed The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research. North Shore Hospital developed from a community hospital to an academic center in 1969, becoming affiliated with Cornell University Medical College (now Weill Medical College of Cornell University) and changing its name to North Shore University Hospital. In 1994, the hospital established an affiliation with NYU School of Medicine. Its current affiliation with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine began after its merger with Long Island Jewish Medical Center (LIJ). LIJ Medical Center is the Long Island campus of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. North Shore University Hospital also
