    In defense of anti-matter (1980)
    Springer
    Astrophysics and space science 71 (1980), S. 257-260 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-946X
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Abstract There appears to be a prejudice in the astronomical world against an obvious high-energy source—the mutual annihilation of matter and anti-matter. In favor of this prejudice is the lack of any convincing evidence of the presence of naturally occurring anti-matter. Only recently have cosmic-ray antiprotons been detected (cf. Goldenet al., 1979), and then in numbers consistent with secondary production in flight, while annihilation X-rays have also been detected, but again in circumstances where they might well be attributed to secondary effects of some other high-energy process.

    Collective effects in diffuse matter-antimatter plasma: I (1982)
    Springer
    Astrophysics and space science 82 (1982), S. 409-413 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-946X

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Abstract A separation mechanism is proposed which is effective in collisions between ionized but unmagnetized clouds of matter and anti-matter. This involves an electromagnetic instability which grows at the encounter layer, producing magnetic fields strong enough to separate the clouds after a very small interpenetration.

    Notes: Abstract It is shown that even very slightly ionized clouds of matter and anti-matter can interpenetrate only a little on collision. Initial interpenetration produces fast electrons and positrons from annihilation. These, in turn, produce strong magneto-hydrodynamic shocks which give the small ionized component enough energy to ionize the neutral fraction and produce a Leidenfrost layer in about ten years after which interpenetration stops.

    Notes: [Auszug] AT present nuclear power is produced by fission, k a process whereby a heavy nucleus is broken into fragments and some of its binding energy released. Since nuclei of medium atomic weight are the most tightly bound, it should be possible to release binding energy by the fusion of light nuclei, a ...

    Structure-from-motion by tracking occlusion boundaries (1989)
    Springer
    Biological cybernetics 62 (1989), S. 113-116

    ISSN: 1432-0770
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Computer Science , Physics
    Notes: Abstract Active visual tracking of points on occlusion boundaries can simplify certain computations involved in determining scene structure and dynamics based on visual motion. Tracking is particularly effective at surface boundaries where large, discontinuous changes in depth are occurring. Two such techniques are described here. The first provides a measure of ordinal depth by distinguishing between occluding and occluded surfaces at a surface boundary. The second can be used to determine the direction of observer motion through a scene.

    Magnetic confinement of cosmic clouds (1988)
    Springer
    Astrophysics and space science 144 (1988), S. 587-614 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-946X

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Abstract The role of the magnetic field in the confinenment or compression of interstellar gas clouds is reconsidered. The virial theorem for an isolated magnetized cloud in the presence of distant magnetic sources is reformulated in terms of moments of the internal and external currents, and an equilibrium condition is derived. This condition is applied to the interaction between isolated clouds for the simple- and artificial-case in which the field of each cloud is a dipole. With the simplest of statistical assumptions, the probability of any given cloud being compressed is calculated as ∼10%, the magnetic field acting as a medium which transmits the kinetic pressure between clouds. Even when compression occurs the magnetic pressure 1/2B 2 may decrease on leaving the cloud surface.
