Oh my, there are so many...

The Holmes and Rahe (1967) scale for estimating emotional stress of
various events (death, retirement, speeding ticket) was done with a M. 
E. procedure.

M. E. can be used to scale fear-inducing stimuli in systematic
desensitization (Tryon, 1977).

M. E. can be used to scale amount of intoxication (Ekman et al., 1964)
and severity of psychiatric symptoms (Stone, 1968).
