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.

The Collision Syndrome

Scientific American, 2012
The article discusses controversial research that suggests individuals who suffer repeated concussions, such as football players, may be at risk for a distinct type of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Topics include a brief profile of former U.S.

TRANSLATIONAL ENTANGLEMENT BY COLLISIONS AND HALF-COLLISIONS

International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2006
Here we aim at setting the principles of and quantifying translational entanglement by collisions and half-collisions. In collisions, the resonance width s and the initial phase-space distributions are shown to determine the degree of post-collisional momentum entanglement.

Visually guided collision avoidance and collision achievement

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2000
To survive on today's highways, a driver must have highly developed skills in visually guided collision avoidance. To play such games as cricket, tennis or baseball demands accurate, precise and reliable collision achievement. This review discusses evidence that some of these tasks are performed by predicting where an object will be at some sharply ...

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.

Direct stratigraphic dating of India-Asia collision onset at the Selandian (middle Paleocene, 59 ± 1 Ma)

, 2015
The collision of India with Asia had a profound influence on Cenozoic topography, oceanography, climate, and faunal turnover. However, estimates of the time of the initial collision, when Indian continental crust arrived at the Transhimalayan trench ...
