Planetesimal-driven planet migration in the presence of a gas disk
, 2010 We report here on an extension of a previous study by Kirsh et al. (2009) of planetesimal-driven migration using our N-body code SyMBA (Duncan et al., 1998). The previous work focused on the case of a single planet of mass Mem, immersed in a planetesimal

Aerodynamic drag measurement of American footballs
Procedia Engineering, 2012 AbstractThe flight trajectory of an American football largely depends on its aerodynamic characteristics. Despite the popularity of the game, it appears that little information on the aerodynamic force experienced by an American football, especially under crosswinds is available in the open literature.
