Design for demise applied to spacecraft structural panels and experiments for ClearSpace One platform

With growing awareness of the vulnerability of the near-Earth space region and the anticipated surge in satellite objects, efforts are underway to assess and implement various mitigation strategies. These aim to minimize the impact of space activities and ...

Work in Progress: The Anthropocene Square Meter

Sarah Nichols, Marion Moutal, Tiffanie Paré, Ziu Tristan August Bruckmann

Humanity has fundamentally transformed Earth, making the creation of a new geological era, the Anthropocene. This model is physically documenting the Anthropocene as one square meter of Earth’s surface following a method first proposed by the renown geolog ...

Quantifying the information impact of future searches for exoplanetary biosignatures

Claudio Grimaldi

One of the major goals for astronomy in the next decades is the remote search for biosignatures (i.e., the spectroscopic evidence of biological activity) in exoplanets. Here we adopt a Bayesian statistical framework to discuss the implications of such futu ...

Measuring the Intra-Atomic Exchange Energy in Rare-Earth Adatoms

Harald Brune, François Patthey, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta

We present the first experimental determination of the intra-atomic exchange energy between the inner 4f and the outer 6s5d shells in rare-earth elements. Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy on individual rare-earth atoms adsorbed on metal-supported ...

A Mini-Atlas of diatom frustule electron microscopy images at different magnifications

Joris Pierre Everaerts, Chrysanthi Papadaki

Diatom algae are active and efficient photosynthesizing single cell organisms responsible for a quarter of biomass and a quarter of oxygen release on the Earth surface. Diatoms form an enormously diverse class of microorganisms possessing stiff and strong, ...

A Reassessment of of the geochemical and isotopic fidelity of biogenic carbonates

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Arthur Adams, Deyanira Graciela Cisneros Lazaro, Jinming Guo, Tarek Axel Vennemann

Oxygen isotope compositions of calcite foraminifera tests are considered to be a robust palaeotemperature proxy at earth-surface conditions, where diffusion is slow. Recrystallization of tests during diagenesis may be optically identified and is often the ...

The Gaia-ESO Survey: properties of newly discovered Li-rich giants

Carmela Lardo

Aims. We report 20 new lithium-rich giants discovered within the Gaia-ESO Survey, including the first Li-rich giant with an evolutionary stage confirmed by CoRoT (Convection, Rotation and planetary Transits) data. We present a detailed overview of the prop ...

Bioclimatic Design of Sustainable Campuses using Advanced Optimisation Methods

Silvia Coccolo

Cities occupy 0.5% of the earth surface, but they consume 75% of worldwide energy, and they are responsible of 50% to 80% of CO2 emissions. Cities are directly responsible for the climate change. However, they are the key for providing solutions to this pr ...

On the biomechanics of seedling anchorage

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Katharina Maria Edmaier

We propose a minimal model for the response of vegetation to pullout constraints at early development stage. We try to capture both the average mechanical properties of the root system and the stochastic component of the uprooting process of seedlings. We ...
