q-Fermionic Numbers and Their Roles in Some Physical Problems
The q-fermion numbers emerging from the q-fermion oscillator algebra are used
to reproduce the q-fermionic Stirling and Bell numbers. New recurrence
relations for the expansion coefficients in the 'anti-normal ordering' of the
q-fermion operators are derived. The roles of the q-fermion numbers in
q-stochastic point processes and the Bargmann space representation for
q-fermion operators are explored.Comment: Latex, 14 pages, to appear in Phys.Lett.

System and method for obtaining wide screen Schlieren photographs
A system for use in Schlieren photography includes (1) a viewing screen adjacently related to a large grating; (2) a small grating disposed in spaced relation with the large grating; (3) a transparent retainer for confining a transparent medium between the gratings; and (4) optics for imaging the small grating on the large grating. A light source and optically aligned lens are used to project a beam of light along axes extending through the small grating and strike the large grating, subsequent to passing through the medium. A Schlieren image of striations resulting from distortions of light rays proposed by the medium are formed on the screen. A camera is used to photograph the Schlieren image projected on the large screen
