Many future space missions to asteroids and comets will implement autonomous or near-autonomous navigation, in order to save costly observation time from Earth tracking stations, improve the security of spacecraft and perform real-time operations ...

Radio observations of Jupiter-family comets [PDF]
Radio observations from decimetric to submillimetric wavelengths are now a basic tool for the investigation of comets. Spectroscopic observations allow us i) to monitor the gas production rate of the comets, by directly observing the water molecule, or by observing secondary products (e.g., the OH radical) or minor species (e.g., HCN); ii) to ...

Lanthanide‐based luminescence nanothermometry holds multifaceted potential for nanomedical applications, yet despite significant research advances, clinical translation of the engineered nanomaterials is still controversial and widely disputed. This is related to crucial nanotoxicological aspects that must be addressed at the preclinical level ...

This study offers a methodology to simultaneously optimize the thermal and thermomechanical behavior of a steel ladle lining using grey relational analysis (GRA) and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). With the proposed methodology, the best solution, the optimal levels, and quantitative contribution of lining ...

Further investigation of changes in cometary rotation [PDF]
Samarasinha & Mueller (2013) related changes of cometary rotation to other physical parameters for four Jupiter family comets defining a parameter $X$, which is approximately constant within a factor of two irrespective of the active fraction of a comet.

The α‐methylene‐γ‐butyrolactone tulipalin A, a defense compound found in tulips, can polymerize via addition at the vinyl group or via ring‐opening polymerization, making it a highly promising monomer for bio‐based polymers. Since the biosynthesis of tulipalin A in plants remains elusive, we propose an alternative pathway for its synthesis starting ...

Cometary impacts into ocean: Thermodynamical equilibrium calculations of high-temperature O2 generation on the early Earth [PDF]
The early Earth’s atmosphere apparently differed from the present atmosphere mainly in its lack of free O2, and this absence is believed to have been indispensable for the origin of early anaerobic life forms. One of the central problems in Earth science

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),
