The gravitational analogue of the electromagnetic Meissner effect is investigated. Starting from the post-Newtonian approximation to general relativity we arrive at gravitational London equations, predicting a grav-itational Meissner effect. Applied to neutron stars we arrive at a London penetration depth of 12km, which is about the size of a neutron star. There is strong evidence that neutron ...

In attempting to think about the nature of the self in psychoanalysis, exploration of the issues involved leads inevitably to consideration of the mind–body relation and its implications for understanding the self. In previous reflections, I have discussed the varieties of mind–body relation proposed by various theorists (Meissner, 2003b) as well as the vagaries of thinking about the mind–body ...

The ocean algorithm is based on the physical Radiative Transfer Model (RTM) described in Wentz and Meissner [2000]. The RTM consists of an atmospheric absorption model for water vapor, oxygen and liquid cloud water and a sea surface emissivity model that parameterizes the emissivity as function of sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, sea surface wind speed and direction. The details o...

The theory of hole superconductivity proposes that superconductivity is driven by lowering of quantum kinetic energy and is associated with expansion of electronic orbits and expulsion of negative charge from the interior to the surface of superconductors and beyond. This physics provides a dynamical explanation of the Meissner effect. Here we propose that similar physics takes place in superfl...

The discovery of the Meissner effect was a turning point in history superconductivity. It demonstrated that superconductivity is an equilibrium state matter, thus allowing to use thermodynamics for its study. This provided justification two-fluid model Gorter and Casimir, seminal thermodynamic theory founded on postulate zero entropy superconducting (S) component conduction electrons. also that...

2014 We report measurements of the resistive superconducting transitions of NbSe3 as a function of magnetic field for sufficient pressures to destroy the lower CDW. These indicate that NbSe3 is a bulk anisotropic superconductor with a total Meissner effect. The critical field anisotropies are well described by an effective mass model and the values obtained are in good agreement with those obta...
