Mining nonterrestrial resources: Information needs and research topics

An outline of topics we need to understand better in order to apply mining technology to a nonterrestrial environment is presented. The proposed list is not intended to be complete. It aims to identify representative topics that suggest productive research. Such research will reduce the uncertainties associated with extrapolating from conventional earthbound practice to nonterrestrial applications. One objective is to propose projects that should put future discussions of nonterrestrial mining on a firmer, less speculative basis

A cloistered entrepôt: sir Tobie Matthew and the English Carmel in Antwerp

To escape religious persecution in England, English Carmelite nuns took refuge in Antwerp, where in 1619 Anne of the Ascension (Anne Worsley, 1588-1644) and Lady Mary Lovell (c. 1564-1628) had founded a convent expressly for exiled young English ladies. Although insulated from the world by enclosure and obedience to the rule, the Antwerp Carmel was not cut off from its surroundings. A careful perusal of the foundation's "Chronicle'' and the vast correspondence left by the women religious exposes an interesting jigsaw of intersections between the private and the public, and the religious and cultural worlds of the early modern period. The Carmelite community indeed patronized artists outside the convent walls, commissioning for instance an English translation of the Life of St Teresa from Sir Tobie Matthew (1577-1655), who also produced a hitherto unknown Life of one of the Carmelite nuns

Josephson coupling and plasma resonance in vortex crystal

We investigate the magnetic field dependence of the plasma resonance frequency in vortex crystal state. We find that low magnetic field induces a small correction to the plasma frequency proportional to the field. The slope of this linear field dependence is directly related to the average distance between the pancake vortices in the neighboring layers, the wandering length. This length is determined by both Josephson and magnetic couplings between layers. At higher fields the plasma frequency is suppressed collectively and is determined by elastic energy of the vortex lattice. Analyzing experimental data, we find that (i) the wandering length becomes comparable with the London penetration depth near T_{c}, (ii) at small melting fields (< 20G) the wandering length does not change noticeably at the melting transition demonstrating existence of the line liquid phase in this field range, and (iii) the self consistent theory of pancake fluctuations describes very well the field dependence of the Josephson plasma resonance frequency up to the melting point.Comment: 4 pages, 2 Figers, Paper submitted to the conference proceedings of M2S-2000 Houston, T

Response, 1973 June

Response was a College news publication produced by Daemen College (known as Rosary Hill College until 1976) and distributed to alumni and friends of the College. It existed first as a quarterly news magazine (1966-1971) and then continued in various newspaper/magazine formats until 1993. By 1980, the publication had transitioned from an alumni news publication to the official publication of Daemen College. It was superseded by Daemen Today.https://digitalcommons.daemen.edu/alum_response/1019/thumbnail.jp
