Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

To optimize aluminium–copper alloy compositions and tribological parameters for improved wear performance using an integrated hybrid MCDM approach. The Al–Cu alloy compositions were fabricated through die casting. Their tribological performance was evaluated and optimized using a hybrid Taguchi–AHP–WASPAS methodology under varying loads, sliding speeds,
