Energetic constraints on spectral distortions of the microwave background (1988)
Journal Article
Lacey, C. G., & Field, G. B. (1988). Energetic constraints on spectral distortions of the microwave background. Astrophysical Journal, 330(7), L1-L4. https://doi.org/10.1086/185191

The energetic constraints on mechanisms for producing the spectral distortion of the microwave background claimed by Matsumoto et al., (1988) are investigated in the light of the new upper bounds on the cosmological baryon density derived by Kawano e...

The structure of shocks with thermal conduction and radiative cooling (1988)
Journal Article
Lacey, C. G. (1988). The structure of shocks with thermal conduction and radiative cooling. Astrophysical Journal, 326, 769-778. https://doi.org/10.1086/166136

A general analysis is presented of the structure of a steady state, plane-parallel shock wave in which both thermal conduction and radiative cooling are important. The fluid is assumed to have a perfect-gas equation of state, with radiative cooling a... Read More about The structure of shocks with thermal conduction and radiative cooling.

Solutions of Minkowskian $\sigma$ Models on Hyperbolic Complex Grassmann Manifolds. (1988)
Journal Article
Lambert, D., & Piette, B. (1988). Solutions of Minkowskian $\sigma$ Models on Hyperbolic Complex Grassmann Manifolds. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 5(2), 307-319. https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/5/2/010

The authors define two-dimensional Minkowskian sigma models valued in hyperbolic complex Grassmann manifolds. They construct a different kind of solution using hyperbolic analytic functions. They exhibit graphs of a few explicit solutions.

The diffusion of stars through phase space (1988)
Journal Article
Binney, J., & Lacey, C. (1988). The diffusion of stars through phase space. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 230(4), 597-627. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/230.4.597

Deviations of the potentials of stellar systems from integrability cause stars to diffuse through three-dimensional orbit space. The Fokker–Planck equation that describes this diffusion takes a particularly simple form when actions are used as orbit-... Read More about The diffusion of stars through phase space.

Discrepancies in the availability of open access services: comparison between the Northern and Oxford regions (1988)
Journal Article
Douglass, R., & Hungin, A. (1988). Discrepancies in the availability of open access services: comparison between the Northern and Oxford regions. Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners, 38(306), 28-29

General practitioners have long been aware of variations in the range of open access services available to them.This study compares the availability of 22 open access services in the Northern and Oxford regions and examines possible reasons for varia...
