Elementary Solution of Kepler Problem (and a few other problems)
We present a simple method to obtain the solution of a few orbital problems: the Kepler problem, the modified Kepler problem by the addition of an inverse square potential and linear force.

Abstract As a historian of sex work, I analyse the power dynamics in the archiving practices and interpretation of sex worker lives, deconstructing the historic and current discourses shaping the possibilities for sex workers. In this article, I explore the legends of nineteenth‐century Madams Annie Cook and Annie Chambers.

The study of central configurations, whose concepts and definitions were already formulated by the classics of celestial mechanics - Euler, Lagrange, Laplace and Liouville in the XVIII-XIX centuries, is of interest not only for celestial mechanics, but ...

James Croll, celestial mechanics and climate change
James Croll was a pioneer in studies of the impact of the slowly changing orbital dynamics of the Earth on climate change. His book Climate and Time in their Geological Relations (1875) was far ahead of its time in seeking correlations between climate ...

The earth orbiting space debris [PDF]
The space debris population is similar to the asteroid belt, since it is subject to a process of high-velocity mutual collisions that affects the long-term evolution of its size distribution.

Catholic Civics Education in the Early Cold War: Zeal for Democracy, Zeal for Christ
Abstract In the late 1940s and 1950s American Catholic educators faced the dilemma of how to transmit Catholic faith and culture to the next generation while also reassuring their non‐Catholic neighbors that they were fully American in lifestyle and loyalties.

Knowledge as a collective status
Abstract While social epistemology is a diverse field, much of it still understands knowledge as an individual status—albeit an individual status that crucially depends on various social factors (such as testimony). Further, the literature on group knowledge until now has primarily focused on limited, specialized groups that may be said to know this or

Satellite orbit under influence of a drag - analytical approach [PDF]
The report studies some changes in orbital elements of the artificial satellites of Earth under influence of atmospheric drag. In order to develop possibilities of applying the results in many future cases, an analytical interpretation of the ...

Hyperbolic normal forms and invariant manifolds: Astronomical applications [PDF]
In recent years, the study of the dynamics induced by the invariant manifolds of unstable periodic orbits in nonlinear Hamiltonian dynamical systems has led to a number of applications in celestial mechanics and dynamical astronomy.

Getting a grip: On causation, agency, and the meaning of “manipulation”
Abstract In the philosophy of causation, manipulationist literature is broadly divided into agency and interventionist accounts. The division between these accounts is partially due to a dispute regarding the meaning of “manipulation”, which specifically questions, “Must one analyse manipulation by appealing to human agency?” This paper attempts to ...
