Classifying and Characterizing the Evolution of the Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance for Near-Earth Asteroids by Shoucun Hu, Yuanyuan Chen, Xinran Li, Xiuhai Wang, Xuefeng Wang

“…A database incorporating these parameters and the MEI values is therefore established for the cataloged NEAs, enabling the derivation of statistically constrained upper bounds for the secular MOID drift rate as a function of the semimajor axes. Finally, some special orbital configurations and dynamical mechanisms that may lead to a large deviation from the linear fit or multiple orbit crossings are also investigated, indicating the intricate nature in the patterns of MOID evolution for some NEAs.…”

New commercial behaviour as a reason of social and economic changes of divided towns on the Polish-German and Polish-Czech borders by Katarzyna Kulczyńska, Roman Matykowski, Elżbieta Bilska-Wodecka

“…This process involves, among other things, a heavy outflow of inhabitants, primarily young and better educated, to western lands and a steep slump in the total fertility rate. Still, the most important changes observed in the split towns over the last two decades have been consumer behaviour patterns determined, among other things, by differences in prices in the neighbouring states. …”
