New evidence on the formation conditions of the Libyan Desert Glass (Western Egypt): Clues from a dendritic zircon inclusion

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Libyan Desert Glass (LDG) is an ~29 million years old, silica‐rich glass found in Western Egypt. Whether this glass formed in an impact cratering context associated with the hypervelocity collision of a cometary/asteroidal body or radiative heating during an airburst is debated. Determination of the formation temperatures and pressures of rare

The effect of early diagenetic processes on the quantification of fossil micrometeorite abundance and flux in the geological record

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Fossil micrometeorites (MMs) recovered from lithified sedimentary rocks, particularly iron‐rich (I‐type) cosmic spherules (CSs) provide valuable insights into past dust‐forming events. Their abundances, when combined with estimates of local sedimentation rates can be used to reconstruct the flux of extraterrestrial dust.

Detection of Hydration on Nominally Anhydrous S-complex Main Belt Asteroids

The Planetary Science Journal
We present the results of a survey of nominally anhydrous main belt S-complex asteroids. Thirty-three observations of 29 unique asteroids were obtained using the IRTF+SpeX instrument in prism and LXD short modes.

Harvesting Near Earth Asteroid Resources Using Solar Sail Technology [PDF]

, 2017
Near Earth asteroids represent a wealth of material resources to support future space ventures. These resources include water from C-type asteroids for crew logistic support; liquid propellants electrolytically cracked from water to fuel crewed vehicles ...

Clinical descriptive and long‐term outcome of melanocytic uveal lesions in young dogs: 40 cases (45 eyes) including 13 cases of sector iridectomy

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 371-385, March 2025.
Abstract Purpose To describe the clinical features surgical technique, early and long‐term outcome with or without surgery, and histopathological findings of melanocytic anterior uveal lesions in young dogs. Methods Medical records of dogs at a guide dog facility removed from training due to a pigmented iris lesion were reviewed from 2014 to 2021 ...

Some Studies of Terrestrial Impact Cratering Rate

Open Astronomy, 2011
In 1984, a 28.4 Myr periodicity was detected in the ages of terrestrial impact craters and a 26 Myr periodicity in the epochs of mass extinctions of species.

Microgravity‐induced changes in skeletal muscle and possible countermeasures: What we can learn from bed rest and human space studies

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.
