With the S-function potential, we can model of other and, possibly, more realistic shapes than Gaussian overlap ellipsoids can simulate mixtures in a systematic marrner. As an example of both applications, we have studied via Monte Carlo computer simulation assemblies cylindrically symmetric disklike particles of two different types. They can be considered complementary perturbations of a disk, with, respectively, a depression (red-cell, R particles) and a protuberance (ufo, U pmticles) at the center. The former is meant to mimic the average effect of side chains of real diskotics, while the latter is a simple representation of diskotic metallomesogens. Four systems of these kind of particles have been studied as a function of temperature: two pure cases and two I :2 binary mixtures, so that the combined effects of shape and concentration can be observed.

Category Text: AERODYNAMICS Result Set Record: Title Information: Is mankind unique in the Galaxy? Author and Affiliation: Martin, A.; Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Culham Laboratory, Abingdon; Ox on, United Kingdom Abstract: There is a relation between questions regarding the uniqueness of mankind in the Galaxy and the 'Fermi Paradox'. It has appeared to Fermi that the eventual controlled of astronomical quantities of energy, and the ability for mankind to head out into the universe was only a matter of time. On the other hand, he reasoned that a large of sites for intelligence should have developed in the Galaxy a long time ago. He expected that such civilizations in colonizing the Galaxy would come in contact with the earth, and yet, there is no evidence regarding such contacts. Many aspects of the Fen:lli have been debated. The present investigation represents an attempt to further contribute to that debate by exploring some of the arguments prompted by .the Paradox. It is concluded that all of the arguments have only one self-consistent resolution. According to this resolution, mankind is unique in the Galaxy.

S. (editor) Abstract: The current status of the various problems associated with the search for and communication with extraterrestrial civilizations is reviewed. Laws governing the development of extraterrestrial civilizations are discussed, along with astroengineering activity and the possibility of detecting it, the problem of extraterrestrial interstellar probes in the solar system, and radio search strategies for communicative extraterrestrial civilizations. Consideration is also given to methods for evaluating the number of civilizations in the Galaxy, problems in the understanding of the origin oflife, and the of interstellar biological molecules. Aspects of the problem of contact with extraterrestrial civilizations are examined, and the dependence oflanguage on the structures making use of it are considered. An extensive bibliography ofliterature on the CETI problem published from !974 to 1978 is also presented.

It is argued that the theory is based on misconceptions about uniformity of apparent directions of individual meteoroids and the presence of charged particles in the meteoroid ionosphere.

Attention is also given to fbe debris left over from the formation process - the bodies that were too small or in the wrong place to become incorporated into planets. Included here are comets, asteroids, meteoroids, and the small satellites whose orbits suggest that they might be captured bodies. There is also a treatment of the origin and of the planetary atmospheres. The search forexterrestrial intelligence is discussed.

H.; Trinity University; San Antonio, TX, United States Abstract: Four categories of facts are explored for explaining the lack of observable extraterrestrial beings (ETs) on earth. The physical reasons are suggested to be the long travel times required by sublight-velocity spaceships, a problem that may be overcome by beings that live several millenia or that can be stored and reproduced from zygotes on arrival. Also, the energy requirements for interstellar travel, though large, are not insurmountable difficulty. Sociologically, it is suggested that ETs have no interest in space travel, or they may have destroyed themselves with atomic wars, or the earth is being used as a wildlife preserve. No procedures exist to test these hypotheses, however. The consideration that ETs have not yet had time to find earth is discounted by calculations that show that another intelligent species in the Galaxy would have found if their space exploration efforts began at least 2,000,000 yr ago. It is concluded that if the earth has not yet been visited, then colonization of the Galaxy will most probably be done by humans, who may have the first advanced civilization in the Galaxy.
