Head-On Impact Deflection of NEAs: A Case Study for 99942 Apophis
Near-Earth asteroid (NEA) 99942 Apophis provides a typical example for the evolution of asteroid orbits that lead to Earth-impacts after a close Earth-encounter that results in a resonant return. Apophis will have a close Earth-encounter in 2029 with potential very close subsequent Earth-encounters (or even an impact) in 2036 or later, depending on whether it passes through one of several less than 1 km-sized gravitational keyholes during its 2029-encounter. A pre-2029 kinetic impact is a very favorable option to nudge the asteroid out of a keyhole. The highest impact velocity and thus deflection can be achieved from a trajectory that is retrograde to Apophis orbit. With a chemical or electric propulsion system, however, many gravity assists and thus a long time is required to achieve this. [via]

The Physics Issues that Determine Inertial Confinement Fusion Target Gain and Driver Requirements: A Tutorial
...This paper presents a simplified, tutorial approach to determining the gains of inertial confinement fusion ICF targets, via a basic, zero-dimensional ‘‘0-D’’ , energy ‘‘bookkeeping’’ of input parametrized by ICF drivers’ coupling efficiencies to the target, and subsequent hydrodynamic efficiencies of implosion versus output thermonu..... detail »
Resource-oriented Programming Based on Linear Logic
...In our research we consider programming as logical reasoning over types. Linear logic with its resource-oriented features yields a proper means for our approach because it enables to consider about resources as in real life: after their use they are exhausted. Computation then can be regarded as proof search. In our paper we present ..... detail »
Practical CVS Tutorial
...The purpose of this tutorial is to provide practical examples of how to use CVS during a typical source development cycle. The complexity of the CVS interface and underlying structure tends to prevent casual use of the system and prevents us from taking full advantage of the multi-user, parallel development features. With the example..... detail »
