Traces of collisions within collisions

Science, 2015
Lunar Formation The Moon is widely accepted to have been created by the collision of a Mars-sized body with Earth. However, information about exactly when this event occurred is still welcome. To find out more, Bottke et al. compared models and the meteorite record with estimates of impact heating.

The Prediction of Collision

The American Journal of Psychology, 1957
No direct information is available on the factors which enter into an operator's decision as to whether two moving objects will collide, nor are there data on the accuracy with which such predictions are made. The previous studies which bear the closest relation to these problems have involved only one moving object.

Collision in Space

Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications, 2000
On June 25, 1997, the Russian supply spacecraft Progress 234 collided with the Mir space station, rupturing Mir's pressure hull, throwing it into an uncontrolled attitude drift, and nearly forcing evacuation of the station. Like many high-profile accidents, this collision was the consequence of a chain of events leading to the final piloting errors ...

Collision group and renormalization of the Boltzmann collision integral

Physical Review E, 2002
On the basis of a recently discovered collision group [V. L. Saveliev, in Rarefied Gas Dynamics: 22nd International Symposium, edited by T. J. Bartel and M. Gallis, AIP Conf. Proc. No. 585 (AIP, Melville, NY, 2001), p. 101], the Boltzmann collision integral is exactly rewritten in two parts.

Goals in Collision

The Sciences, 1982
FOR better or worse, the automobile has stamped the lives of twentieth century Americans-perhaps more than any other device. It provides the average citizen with unprecedented mobility, but also kills or maims hundreds of thousands of people, consumes billions of gallons of gasoline, and spews forth clouds of pollution.
