Steam Power Plants in Aircraft
The employment of steam power plants in aircraft has been frequently proposed. Arguments pro and con have appeared in many journals. It is the purpose of this paper to make a brief analysis of the proposal from the broad general viewpoint of aircraft power plants. Any such analysis may be general or detailed
An analysis of Gipps' car-following model of highway traffic
A mathematical analysis of Gipps's (1981) car?following model is performed. This model is of practical importance as it powers the UK Transport Research Laboratory highway simulation package SISTM. Uniform flow solutions and a speed–headway function are derived under simplifying conditions. A linear stability analysis of uniform flow is then performed, and stable and unstable regimes are identified. Finally, some numerical simulations for a variety of parameter regimes are presented. <br/

Computer program calculates steady-state temperature distribution within plane or axisymmetric solids
Digital computer program, using the finite element analysis technique, determines the steady-state temperature within plan or axisymmetric solids composed of many different materials of various geometry. Program output is used to plot isotherms and provide data enabling the performance of stress analysis or heat transfer calculations upon the bodies
Finite element analysis of compressible solids with nonlinear material properties
Finite-element computer program solves for nodal point displacements in an axisymmetric solid. The options in the program include plane stress analysis, axisymmetric solids analysis, nonlinear /plastic/ analysis, and equivalent stress and strain
Sir John Adams: his legacy to the world of particle accelerators
John Adams acquired an unrivalled reputation for his leading part in
designing and constructing the Proton Synchrotron (PS) in CERN's early days. In
1968, and after several years heading a fusion laboratory in the UK, he came
back to Geneva to pilot the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) project to approval
and then to direct its construction. By the time of his early death in 1984 he
had built the two flagship proton accelerators at CERN and, during the second
of his terms as Director-General, he laid the groundwork for the
proton-antiproton collider which led to the discovery of the intermediate
vector boson. How did someone without any formal academic qualification achieve
this? What was the magic behind his leadership? The speaker, who worked many
years alongside him, will discuss these questions and speculate on how Sir John
Adams might have viewed today's CERN.Comment: 29 pages, John Adams Memorial Lecture 2009, published with
high-resolution figures as CERN Yellow Report
